I booked a consultation over the phone, and Leslie got me in really quickly, following an impressive array of questions. On arrival, I was made to feel very welcome, with a hot chocolate and a biscuit. Next, Gary and Lauren advised me on the style and colour that would best suit me and, to my delight, I was offered an appointment for that same afternoon - within the hour, in fact. Everyone was very helpful and friendly, and I even had a head massage. Bliss!

Advice on suitable products, and how to style my hair, was very welcome, and I left with a very smart, glossy style that worked with - rather than against - my natural wave. The salon was spotless, the service was excellent and the staff were top notch. Looking forward to my next visit. Thanks everyone ❤.

I have been going here for many, many years. I love the salon and the people who work there. They do a great job and it is very much appreciated.

I have been loyal to it through many changes of people and price increases. I have been able to change my hairdresser to accommodate my budget.

It’s up a little lane in Stirling. Parking nearby which is handy.

I also go to the beauty place upstairs which is great.

My only negative is I find the music really loud and it spoils my enjoyment even if I am upstairs.

If I may make a suggestion, please can you tailor the music to the customers rather than to your personal preferences.
For example, turn it down and make it more Radio 2 ish?

I’m probably the only one who thinks that but it’s my honest opinion. 😂

Thank you for everything you do.
