I’ve been going to this salon for many years and they are always totally professional. I always get good service and a great cut, and they listen to what you want, and know what they are doing. It is clean, friendly and modern. I have tried cheaper places and come away disappointed, it’s not worth the risk. At Shine you can trust any of the stylists to do a great job.

I was in a routine with my highlights and thought the effect was a bit dull. Lorraine suggested ‘starting again’ , with a blonder look. She was right. It looks great- much more lively. The cut is excellent too. This is hairdressing at its very best.

This was my first visit to Shine and it was a wonderful experience.

Emily listened to and understood what a wanted to achieve and confidently embraced my ideas, leaving me with exactly what I wanted.

The salon environment was calm and sophisticated and the product option was extensive.

I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to try Shine but will definitely be returning soon!

My stylist was Chloe (not on the drop down above BTW) she was very thorough and delivered what I asked for, also gave great advice... Not to forget the young lady that washed my hair, I didn't get her name but without a doubt the best head massage I've had in a hair salon... Thank you
