Visited Sands for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Best cut and style I've had in years. I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else again. Thanks Stuart.

The SANDS Experience

If you are seeking a holistic approach from a hair salon then look no further than SANDS. The care and attention the staff at this salon provides to its clients is second to none that I have experienced and at 53 I have experienced quite a few in my time. From the moment one enters the salon you are treated like a first class passenger plus the added bonus is that this salon only uses AVEDA products which are NOT tested on animals and are kind to the environment!!

Really lovely atmosphere and very relaxing expereience. Absolutely love my colour by Jasmin. Having previously badly damaged my hair bleaching, I was really happy with my full head of bleach highlights. My hair feels very soft and looks well nourished, whilst also achieveing the high lift, cool tone that I wanted to achieve. Jasmin made me feel very relaxed and at ease. Would definitely recommend.

I had a wonderful cut, and overall experience at Sands. They went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable and pampered- offering a head massage on arrival and a hands and arms massage whilst getting my hair cut. I was very impressed with the stylist (Carrie)- I came out with exactly what I had wanted, and she made the extra effort to trim split ends all the way up my (long) hair. My hair was also styled beautifully. I’ll definitely be going back!

Lovely stylist who I have been to before, very happy with my cut but after going home not at all happy with the highlights. Not what I thought I had discussed with my stylist and unfortunately I feel very disappointed. I will discuss it with her as I do not feel it was what I had asked for at all.

I love sands. Great salon and lovely relaxed atmosphere. My hairdresser Carrie is great she has really improved the condition of my hair and is the first hairdresser to really add a bit of shine to my rather dull mouse colour hair. She worked with a few colours and has now got a great combination going. She is great!!
