Was greeted as soon as I entered the salon. A refreshing drink poured. Back, neck, head,shoulder,arm and hand massage.
Attentive staff doing a superb job. Carol transformed my hair into just how I wanted. I strongly recommend this salon it’s like a pamper session than the old mundane salons normally provide. Thank you for excellent service

I am honestly so impressed with sands hairdressing, I'll definitely be going back. It was my first time trying them and breaking away from my regular hairdresser back home and I am so pleased I did. They were also accomodating to this change which I really appreciate! I was treated so nicely and looked after the minute I walked through the door. I had a gorgeous head massage and the lovely girl washing my hair took such care, it really made me feel good about myself! Debbie listened to what I wanted and did a superb cut. She was meticulous, gentle and really respected my hair. It really makes a difference when your hairdresser cares for your hair and what you want, and I felt like Debbie did that for me so thank you so much. Couldn't recommend this place enough :)

I’m generally very happy with everything about this salon but my last cut wasn’t quite up to the usual standard. My complaint was dealt with brilliantly and I’ll have no hesitation in returning. This is a really good salon with some very talented stylists.
