A lovely relaxed experience today having my hair cut, dried and straightened by Charlotte. I have long curly (messy) hair which as if by magic was transformed into smooth sleek flowing locks!
She is amazing and I would highly recommend a visit to Quintessential to everybody!
Many thanks.

I've been having my hair cut & blow dried by Helen now for a couple of years & have always come away feeling very satisfied. I get lots of compliments & friends asking where I go. One of my best friends now goes to Helen & is also very pleased after trying several salons in town. Becky is also great at shaping eyebrows & doing nails. All staff very friendly. Would recommend this salon to everyone. First class.

Wash was uncomfortable, wasnt given neck rest and had to ask temp of water to be turned down. Even though shown pic and had discussion about what we were doing, hair cut was not what i asked for and when i asked her to change it she was quite abrupt and didnt finish the style nicely. One side is slightly longer than the other. Was straightened instead of blow dried so looks flat rather than styled. stylist didnt speak much, when i tried to start a conversation i didn't get much response, making me feel like an inconvenience. I wouldnt recommend to friends im afraid. Having my hair done is a big treat for me as i cant afford it often and it did not feel like a treat.

Altogether a thoroughly pleasant experience and I will definitely return. The coffee was excellent as well!

The Quintessence of creativity

Michelle

Melissa (Millie) the newly appointed Creative Director is quite simply the best colourist I've ever seen. I travel quite some way to see her and my daughter comes back from London specifically so that Millie can look after her hair. She is an expert and custom mixes course for her customers skin tones. She instinctively understands what you want, what will suit you, and somehow blends the two to exceed expectations every time. The rest of the staff are talented, friendly and hospitable. Spending time getting my hair done at Quintessential is quite simply my therapy and I always leave feeling beautiful

Had my hair done by Helen and am satisfied with the outcome as always. Helen is always fully booked but definitely worth the wait. Helen understands that I am always in a rush and would do my hair as quickly as possible but remains professional, ensuring it is cut the way I wanted. This salon is very modern, yet cosy and very nicely decorated. You can tell that the owners put a lot of effort into this salon because almost every time I visited, they'd have a new theme to the interior and the place is always very clean & tidy. I really can't fault it. One advice though ~ book early!
