I’ve had my hair coloured 3 times by liv and I’m always so pleased with the results. I’ve had years of trying to colour my hair blonde and always been disappointed by the results until I started coming to see liv who exceeds all my expectations. She always listens to what I would like and give her opinion which is always needed. She makes my experience at shine feel really luxurious and like a real treat, drinks are offered and magazines throughout the treatment. All staff are so friendly. Definitely worth every penny.

Had a new colour added to my normal ones and I absolutely love the effect, I had quite a bit cut off the length so overall I feel restyled. I’m very happy with my new hair. Liv always asks how I’ve been coping with my hair and if I still like it. She will then suggest different things. The result is always good , I’m never disappointed.

Liv had some ideas about how my hair colour could be different and by using different techniques, produce an effect that would give tone, elegance and notice. I am thrilled with the results. Liv always listens to my thoughts and uses her experience to create styles that suit me best. I'd give her five stars every time!

This is my second time visiting Ellie after a not such good haircut at the previous salon visited. Ellie understood exactly what I wanted and how to cut my hair so it can be worn straight or using my natural curls something that be can quit challenging. She has given me advice regarding colouring my hair and how we go about sorting out some banding I have. I just want to thank Ellie for an amazing service from start to finish. The salon is welcoming and everybody is so friendly.
