Rhiannon and Jamie’s wedding

Appointment verified by Zenoti

Where to start….Lara, Chris and Kira came out to Clyne farm to style the brides hair, my daughters, myself and a friends.
From the initial telephone call to the final waft of hair spray they were consummate professionals, organised, on hand to help and advise and great fun, joining in the mayhem of a busy morning and producing jaw dropping hair, which speaking for myself, is still looking damn good!!!
The bride had a hair piece that needed blending into her natural hair and specific needs on where the veil and hair clips were to be placed, the finished product was spectacular and Chris took the time to ensure all her needs were met.
My friend Clare was uncertain of whether to wear her hair up or down and Lara provided the expert guidance after placing her hat on and outlining her options.
I was quite specific in my requirements, going for a ‘Peaky Blinders’ look which Kira styled to perfection ❤️
My daughter being a bridesmaid had her hair styled by Kris and was thrilled with the volume and curls he produced as she has very long and very thick hair, which generally won’t hold a curl for long, but we’re on day 3 and she still has bounce in her hair!!!
This team perform magic and have the right personalities, skill, attention and knowledge to fulfil any bridal party requirement.

Great colour and cut but wash was disappointing

Emily

Appointment verified by Zenoti

Best colour and cut I’ve had in a while, particularly the cut but if I’m honest a really disappointing wash. I’m only saying it here for the benefit of your knowledge and for future clients. One girl with long brunette hair with a middle parting took me for a wash. She was very rough with the shampooing and even more so with the comb through. I had to hold back a few times from saying something which I think I should have now looking back. I then had numerous times where the water was put straight on my head and was very cold. I don’t know if it is guaranteed but I always have a short massage with the conditioning but this didn’t happen at all. I wasn’t asked once about the temperature or if I was comfy and the pulling out of the foils (I know it’s a painful experience at the best of times) but it was super painful and unpleasant.

After the wash, I was taken to a seat for the cut. The same girl took my towel off my shoulders and put it on the side stand and started combing my hair. My hair had not been towel dried and so was dripping all down me and into my clothes. I asked for a towel and she pointed to it and told me, “it’s bethere”. So I reached to get it and started drying myself. She then leant over took it off me and dried the rest of my hair properly. At this point my hair dresser came (brunette lady) who was wonderful, she noticed how wet my back was and immediately got me a new cape. I was super grateful for this as it meant not sitting in the wet one.

Can’t fault anything else, staff were fab and left super happy but wanted to raise the standard of the wash and customer service of that one worker with you.

Sock Fashion choice

Marc
17th Mar 2022

Whilst your having your hair cut. You have to look down. I noticed Dans sock choice is not up to standard. Or maybe it’s the way his legs hang out of them. Either way I think he should have a set of cheerleader Pom poms to match or cover them up. I wish to remain anonymous as I feel this positive review may get me to much favouritism.

Appointment verified by Zenoti

I've been going to Kris for about a year and a half now! I have always had very long hair and been somewhat nervous when it comes to scissors going anywhere near it! So much so that I kept to the same hair dresser in my hometown of Manchester, despite moving to Swansea! When lockdown hit and travelling was next to impossible, I found myself in desperate need of a hair cut but no where to go! Enter Kris!

Ever since the first time I sat in his chair, he made me feel so calm and relaxed, and the quality of his cut is amazing...and then there is his blow dry!! I feel like new woman every time I leave! From my first visit of having just a 'healthy trim' to now having the confidence to step out and give him the latest brief of Matilda Djerf/70's Shag cut & Bangs....He absolutely nailed it! I have full confidence in Kris's ability and styling, and hugely value his opinion whenever I'm thinking of trying something new! He is just simply amazing!

The junior team are also worthy of note. All bring an enthusiastic and bubbly vibe to the saloon.
I feel like I’m visiting extended family rather than just consuming a service as a paying customer.
