Had the most unreal experience. I was nervous going in but Ryan And everyone in the salon were just amazing. He was so friendly and chatty, I felt so comfortable. He transformed my hair and made me feel like a princess, I loved my hair so much that I even had a lil cry. He really is the god of balyages. Can’t wait to go back to salon and feel brand new

Very pleased from start to finish.
Grace did an amazing job on the colour and cut not to mention extremely friendly and very welcoming.

The entire place was very friendly and patient. As someone who gets anxiety going to the hairdressers, I think I found my regulars here.

I hate hairdressers, avoid them at all costs. However its science is not a hairdressers its a sassy sexy salon experience! Even though this is my only my second visit I feel like I've been a long standing 10 year+ plus client!!! Nowhere else in Swansea or even Wales provides an experience like this and I honestly love the months I earn more than usual cause I know I will be booking in to see the wonderful team here
Plus unlimited cups of tea why would you not want to go?!
Thanks again lovelies!

I don’t think any amount of words can do this review justice.. from the moment you walk in it’s relaxed, non judgemental and feels your surrounding by family. The team are so knowledgeable and provide valuable advice. Their aim is to ensure you leave with awesome hair, standing a little taller! Everything about the experience is just amazing. My third time and I can’t wait to go back.. although shame is I probably won’t need to for a few months thanks to my amazing hair! Keep being the hair wizards you are! Xx

After taking the plunge and chaging salons (I was with my previous salon 15 years), I am absolutely thrilled with my colour and cut! I needed lots of advice as having stayed with the same colour for many years was anxious to change. I was given loads of support and advice. They were so patient! Would highly recommend a visit to this trendy, different, forward thinking salon!!
