I was made to feel comfortable as soon as the entered the salon to make an appointment. As a new client I felt welcomed and valued. The appointment started with a discussion and it was clear that I was being listened to.
The whole process of colour and cut was great from start to finish and the coffee was great.
Both colour and cut are exactly what I wanted.
Thank you

Absolutely loved my hair after Grace discussed my options. I as so fed up with my hair and wanted it all cut off ahort. Grace was amazing and gave me other options that I couldn't be happier with. My hair now has style, movement and life. She talked about my hair in a really personal but professional way. She put me at ease and I left the salon feeling really confident and 100% happy with my new cut and style. I couldn't recommend the salon enough, everyone was friendly, professional and welcoming. I will definitely be returning in 4-6 weeks for a cut again.BIG thank you to Grace for being so lovely, knowledgeable about treatments, colours cuts and products.

This salon has to be comparable with many top city salons. Including London,Leeds and Birmingham,(I’ve tried them all!)
A most professional service from stylists who really care about each client and focus on providing the best cut and colour for each client. Nothing is too much trouble. Everyone is made to feel quite special. The owner is diligent in achieving high standards and ensures that her team follow the same principles. Long May it last. A gem in a small town.
