Perfect

This review is following my 2nd visit to the Salon. 1st time I had an all over colour and Gemma cut my hair. I've always home dyed my hair but it's got to a stage where the grey is more challenging. I've had hair coloured a couple of times in other salons but have been disappointed as always never quite covered all grey and faded quickly. I took a chance at Its Science and cant rate highly enough. Be prepared to be there a few hours but that reflects the care and attention given. Not a single strand of grey after the first colour and a lovely colour which hasn't really faded. The cut was perfect. Following regrowth I have recently been back for a root touch up and Shannelle recommended a toner through the length. Again didn't disappoint and every grey covered with a lovely shiny rich colour. I'm so pleased and can't praise highly enough. The salon has a friendly vibe - you sit at a large table - no mirror - which is surprisingly calming! Although there is the option of sitting in front of a mirror. The girls are very friendly and welcoming. The whole experience is different to any I've had previously and I can't recommend enough.

I absolutely love visiting “Its Science”, the girls are so welcoming, professional and always happy for a chat! I love the set up of the salon which is relaxed and informal, it feels like a friends get together rather than just getting my hair done. The team colouring expertise and advice is superb. Book a treatment! I definitely recommend visiting Its Science ?????

This was my first time visiting the salon with My request being... I really wanted to go/ feel blonder after several years of balayage. Well I honestly can not believe this is MY actual hair, it’s so blonde but feels healthy and shiny and even better than what I imagined! First time at the salon and I was there awhile and made to feel so welcome, a truly relaxed atmosphere whilst never scrimping on their professionalism! What a set up! What a salon! What a team! Thanks for making me really, really love my hair for the first time in years!

Every time I get my hair done at it’s science they surpass all expectations. They always meet my needs in every way, and listen to what I want and give me exactly that. I’m not exaggerating when I say they’re the best salon I’ve ever been to, and definitely the best in Swansea. All of the stylists are very creative, but they won’t do anything with your hair that you don’t want.
Not to mention the environment is lovely. The decor is SO nice, the products are vegan, and there’s a really lively atmosphere.
I’ve been going to them for 2 years, and can’t thank them enough for always giving me amazing hair.

All the girls in the salon are so welcoming, friendly & seem to really know what they are talking about. I always like to switch my hair up, and their enthusiastic and passionate approach to hair is just what I am looking for! They sit down & chat about what you want to achieve, which is something that is so important. Overall its a great experience and I would recommend it to everyone and anyone!
