I love coming to so... the staff are so friendly and really go out of their way to make you feel special.
Although the prices may be slightly more expensive than other salons in Banbury, my experience is that it is totally worth every penny! The brands used are top of the range and the service from the nail technicians, especially Robyn and Chloe, is second to none. The fact that no electric drills are even on site is also one of the biggest pluses for me!!!

I booked treatment for nails to be done for a wedding party. Including full sets of nails, shellac and nail art.
All I can say is that no-one was disappointed! Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable treatment by all.
The results were amazing (let's just say that this was not a usual type of wedding!) and would highly recommend to anyone.

I visited So for the first time this week and had my hair cut by Zoe. Without exaggeration I can honestly say it is the best cut I have had for years and is miles better than recent cuts in London, Oxford and elsewhere in Banbury. Congratulations on an extremely professional operation and pleasant, helpful staff. An added bonus is the price (£34 compared to £80 or £90 in Oxford).

What a fantastic experience, after having my nails done elsewhere and not enjoying them I decided to come to the salon where I enjoy having my eyebrows waxed. I made the right decision as I now have a PERFECT set of nails that are making me feel 100 times better.
