The team at Its Science are super. They listen to exactly what you want, offer advice / guidence to what they feel will work best for you and then work their magic. I can not wait to see their Christmas tree in all its spectacular glory, I hope Gems dad has survived putting it up. What a star.

Its Science is unique in a number of ways, all of them good! From the frankly inspired no mirrors, open table concept to the incredible colours and cuts with sustainability and brilliant results at the heart of everything they do.
Its Science is the first place I have ever trusted to bleach or colour my hair and I could not be happier with it, or with the experience.
Gemma has created something really special. Can't wait to see what her and her awesome team (family) do next!

Always go above and beyond!!!!! having been through a drastic colour change (most salons would have said no to)with Gemma I would no longer trust anyone else with my hair!!!!

brought a new outlook on salon life to Swansea and set standards! Just the burst of colour and enthusiasm Swansea needed

Well done Gemma, you’ve done a fantastic job! ❤️

I had a complete colour change and I couldn't be happier with my new colour and a Fringe. The salon has a very welcoming & chilled vibe and you have the choice of sitting without a mirror in front of you. I was there for a few hours, the chair's are very comfortable, there was room for me to get my laptop out allowing me to catch up on a little bit of work and I was offered refreshments through out the duration. Between Deonne and Gemma, they had some great ideas, can't wait to go back.

Very very happy with the final outcome of my hair done by Ryan. The other Stylists were also very friendly and welcoming. It's science is the place to be!

3rd time at this salon, and absolutely will be going back. The atmosphere is really friendly and you can tell that the staff like working there, sitting round the table instead of having to stare at yourself for hours is great and makes the whole process feel really social and fun.
I went with a really bold change in colour (Bright pink!) and was given great advice and told about which colours would fade and how to maintain it all.
Also I really appreciate the opening hours, being able to fit it in after work instead of taking up hours of my weekend is fantastic

As soon as I walked into the salon you had a warm welcome which is extremely reassuring when it is your first visit. I am really fussy with my hair and I was a little apprehensive, but they put me at ease straight away. I did notice there were no mirrors and the layout wasn't a stereotypical hair salon however it enhanced the customer experience. Deonne was extremely professional and knowledgable and I felt my hair was in safe hands. I would highly recommend Its Science and they also cater for full time workers with their late night opening hours.

This is my second time going to Its Science, and this time was purely for maintenance of my hair, compared to last time, where we completely changed my hair!

The entire salon is beautiful, service is incredible, relaxed, friendly and generally amazing.

One thing I LOVE is that Gemma will honestly tell me if something isn’t doable or won’t be as I imagine- this is incredible because I’ve been to so many places that say ‘yep, I’ll do that’ and it doesn’t turn out the way I want it to.

Everyone in the salon (including myself) finished with fantastic hair, and to risk being cliche, stood a little bit taller and smiled a bit more.

I can’t wait for my next appointment!

I hadn’t had my hair cut for over a year after a bad experience at a different salon and I’m so glad I chose to book at Its Science. Deonne talked me through all the options after I showed her what I wanted to achieve and I couldn’t fault her at all. Made me feel at ease straight away. Sitting in front of a mirror for hours always put me off getting my hair done but the no-mirror experience was brilliant. I was free to read, or use my phone and was offered drinks all the way through and all the staff are so lovely.
Thank you to Gemma and all her staff for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely be back ????

I can’t even put into words how incredible my experience was at its science. The second I sat down I was served hot fresh coffee with milk and sugar on the side PLUS sweets. It came on a piece of wood which was such a cool touch. Gemma was so interested in everything I had to say about my hair and my personal life! I was so impressed not just by Gemma but every staff member! I cannot wait to return & recommend to everyone I know!
