Wonderful service. Laura always does a great job and she is very easy to talk to. The salon is always spotless and the trainee stylists are super helpful and polite.

The only downside is not being able to tip when paying with card. Not many people carry cash anymore. Would be great if contemporary would look into this function.

I've been coming to the salon for over two decades so am clearly a very loyal customer. The salon has always been inviting and staff conscientious. I haven't always used the salon for colours this is only over the last 8 years as I used to home colour.

I liked the way she asked about wearing a mask which means a lot as I leave with someone vulnerable so still need to be careful.

I really enjoyed mu cut with Toni yesterday, she listened to what I said and was very good at checking whether I was happy as she went along, overall I was very pleased and would definitely go back. Tha salon however although very new I found to have no character, the safety precautions not withstanding there was little or no atmosphere which is a shame. I would still go back as the staff were very professional and conscientious and I received excellent treatment!

I am a regular customer of Contemporary salon in Yarm and the service is faultless every single time. All of the staff are lovely and make you feel welcome and you are well looked after with teas and coffee.

The measures put in place for COVID are very reassuring and I felt very comfortable and protected.

Contemporary are unique in that each time you have your hair washed you receive a mini head massage and they offer numerous hair treatments, which include a hot towel over your hair. It’s bliss.

An overall very relaxing experience and a real pamper every visit.

First time in the new salon, it's much smaller than the other one and is really noisy with all the dryers going but that's something everyone will have to get used to, including me!
All staff were wearing masks/face shields in line with the current regulations and all customers had hand sanitiser applied on arrival and a new measure is that your temperature is now taken at the door which is quite reassuring. As ever, there was a friendly greeting and despite Covid, the salon are now able to offer drinks in takeaway cups which makes things feel a bit more back to normal.
This was my last cut and blow dry with Rachel before she goes off to have her baby and as always, my hair looked really nice when she had finished. Rachel also cuts my boyfriend's hair and he's always happy with it.
Rachel had already introduced us to another stylist who will cut our hair whilst she is on maternity leave and had explained how I like my hair to be done. Nobody likes to change stylists, but hey ho, even hairdressers are allowed to have babies!!
Very best wishes Rachel for a safe confinement and I look forward to seeing lots of pics of your gorgeous baby when you are back from maternity leave.
Merry Christmas to all at Contemporary in Yarm from Ann and Dale. xxx

Highly recommend Mica. She always listens to my ideas and then suggests how they can be adapted to suit my very thick hair. She’s always right!! She’s a fantastic colourist and stylist. Lovely personality and a total professional. And not forgetting the lovely Ellie! I have back problems which can make it awkward to shampoo my hair. Ellie never makes it seem a problem and always keeps her smile and lively personality no matter the challenge! All in all the whole experience of a visit to the Salon is very enjoyable.
