After yrs of going to hairdressers who ask you what you want to do with your hair ,regarding hair style/cut/colour,, you then tell them ,when shock/horror you find yourself getting home and realising that your fringe is far too short and hair that looks lopsided,l basically you were never listened to!! But let me stop because believe you me,I could write a book about hair horrors!! Having lived all over the world and had to sooner or later go to a local hairdressers!!
At last in Hannah I have a found a amazing hairdresser who is worth her weight in gold,caring ,attentive,patient(she needs to be with me) understanding the list goes on and on!! She is just a very kind,amazing hairdresser and lady.
Can I also say how polite,attentive and very caring in her job I found Meghan to be !
Love this salon,very friendly ,excellent atmosphere and service,great team what more could you want in a hair salon

My first visit to the Contemporary Salon today. My stylist Sam was great. She made me feel at ease and listened to my requests and gave some great tips and advice on my hair. The final style was perfect, just as I had imagined and didnt think was possible. I felt so good for the rest of the day, it really boosted my confidence. I look forward to my next appointment.

Regrowth and "trim".

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

First time visiting this salon, previously have been a regular customer at their Harrogate branch.So I am in a position to compare the 2.
Staff friendly and knowledgeable.
Was expecting the complimentary head and neck massage but was not offered,maybe this is something that could be introduced?
I had a regrowth and I am very pleased with the outcome. Also had a wet trim, literally, just the ends taken off, which again I was pleased with.,because of my hair type I didn't have the same treatment as ordinary customers. I never have my hair blown dry as it would make my hair frizzy, so always apply my own products at the end of treatment. I think with this in mind it would be a really nice gesture for me not to have been charged the price of the cut and blow.
Would I go back? Definitely, if upon making my next appointment that these factors will be taken into account, and I be charged for not having the cut and blow..? Just a few suggestions, that I hope will be helpful.

Can't put the therapist's name as not on the selection bar. You need to change this to include Elliott. As usual great haircut and blow-dry and excellent conversation. However the salon was very chilly and you should address this.

Exactly what I’d hoped for. Elliot listened and got it totally right.
I’m transitioning from brunette to grey (major build up of box brown dye) and the fine ash highlights he has put look amazing.
It would be hard to trust anyone else with my hair.
Thank you Elliot
