As soon as I called the salon I knew I’d be in safe hands, Eleanor was so helpful and professional. I hadn’t been to a hairdressers in 3 years so she certainly had her work cut out. But the end result was amazing, such a transformation. I highly recommend this salon, friendly, welcoming and professional team

I’ve attended The Color and Therapy Lounge for a number of years now for literally everything.. hair, brows, facials and nails. I had a lovely facial with Nicole today and she instantly made me feel relaxed. She explained the procedure throughout and even gave me some sample products to take home. My skin is glowing and feels absolutely amazing! I cannot thank all of the ladies enough for how hard they all work and how every single treatment is completed to the highest standard! Thank you so much ladies! ??

The standard at the colour and therapy lounge is exceptional. The stylists are always learning new techniques and the experience of the team with regards to colouring is phenomenal. (Something that can fill me with anxiety, due to previous bad experiences). Whilst in the salon you are treated to tasty drinks and attentive care from the team.... One off my favourite experiences in life,!! Not to mention ultra friendliness and fantastic results. If you want to look great and feel pampered during the process, then why look anywhere else!! I love this place. And NOONE does brows better than Lois!!!

Everyone was really nice, they was running behind a little bit however they was busy as everyone was wanting their hair done up for an event. However they did my hair really nice and I loved after they had finished and even though I wasn't booked in to get my brows they went to check if I could and they said that I could xx

Not enough staff so the attention to my hair was flickered. The staff that did my hair had to keep making themselves available to customers coming into the salon and to customers coming down from the beauty part of the salon. My hair was supposed to be highlighted blonde in a balayage mannor, it ended up being balayaged grey. Even though it looked good when finished it wasn't what i asked for and to say an apprentice started my hair i wouldn't have expected to pay full price. The finished look took 5hours to complete which im almost certain it shouldn't have. Overall i would say good but unsatisfied.
