The receptionist was good ... The hair dresser needs to go on a customer service course ..was Imature didn't know how to speak to a paying customer ... She wasn't happy The way I wanted my hair cut ..it's okay giving advice but you do listen to the customer ..took my apron off in a aragont manner .. Then whispered something to the receptionist as I walked towards her to pay ... Then walked off to the other customer and told the receptionist to take the payment ... I was told the people worked at so wasnt really nice but I thought I'm just going to have a hair cut iv done it before several times in other hairdressers but here wasn't a really good atmosphere ! Won't come back ..and wouldn't recommend to others !

Very professional, but still friendly and chatty.
Nails look great and the experience was pleasant.
Bit more expensive than most of the other salons in the area, but the products are better quality and the service is better.

I went to the salon to have shellac, lashes and a haircut and was very impressed with my experience from start to finish. Theit online booking system was fantastic and the service I received as soon as I arrived was wonderful. The end result was high quality and very good value considering they use quality products. I would definitely recommend and use them again.

Absolutely delightful visit today. Had my hair cut by Billie and she did an amazing job. Cut it just how I wanted and made it healthier and put all the weight and movement back in to it. Also recommended me to use Purple shampoo to make my blonde last longer and to make it more vibrant. Good price to pay too. All in all very happy!
