I have three girls under the age of 8 and have found getting their hair cut to be a bit of a challenge. Having brought them to Lara Johnson Lifestyle they have been treated like absolute princesses. They were given room to read their books and do their colouring and were pampered and spoilt throughout. All staff were patient and accommodating making us feel at ease. The salon went above and beyond to give my girls the best experience and my three year old already can’t wait to come back for her next “pamper”. Thank you so much, Lara, Lizzie and team.

Matthew done a fantastic job,as always! He is the best hairdresser in Swansea.
On the other hand, I was disappointed with the salon. I visited the salon with my 4 months old baby. You have no nappy changing opportunity!! You have a towel dryer, but no baby changing facility. It's ridiculous!! I'm sure I'm not the only one who can not have a babysitter all the time. I had to hold her and put a new nappy on her in my arms. So disappointed!

All good with hair but the coffee could be hugely improved!

Another point is the dye stain around the hairline. I know it’s tricky and important to be thorough - and not pointing a finger at any one as it always happens. But I literally can’t go out unless I’ve stubbed my hairline and dried my fringe again. Any suggestions?

Thanks
