There is nowhere else I will go to have my hair done. The salon is the perfect place for a bit of self care / pampering. Everyone there is friendly and wants the best outcome for you and your hair. Chloe is too good at her job, like phenomenal and I always know I’m going to love whatever she does to my hair. I trust her implicitly. I also popped in to introduce my son to the team recently and It’s lovely to go there and know there are changing facilities for us mum’s who take the babies along with us to the salon. What an inclusive place it is, thank you x

Alex always takes the time to do a thorough consultation, and keeps me up to date with the latest products and trends, knowing me well enough by now to know which ones will appeal to me and when I’ll be up for a change, s as well as what will work best for my hair.
Beautiful colour, cut and shine treatment today. It’s always a pleasure to be in the salon and chat to everyone.

I have been a customer of Lara Johnson Lifestyle for nearly 25yrs.
I always received excellent service from every member of the team.

Chloe today did just an awesome colour. We discussed what look I wanted to achieved and I let her creative colour ideas loose on my hair. I love the result, lovely blonde and copper tones which really enhanced my natural red!
I said in many times before I left, but I just love it and am so so so thrilled with my new year colour look.

I can’t recommend Lara Johnson Lifestyle enough! A special shoutout to my amazing colourist and stylist, Lizzie—my multi-pink hair looks absolutely delicious! The colours are vibrant, perfectly blended, and the shine is unreal. Every visit feels like a VIP experience, from the warm atmosphere to the thoughtful little touches like today’s mug of coffee with my initial on it. Lizzie, you’ve outdone yourself again—I always leave feeling fabulous. Thank you for your artistry and attention to detail!
