Another lovely visit to Nicky Clarke how wonderful to have the salon open again and to see all your friendly faces! Tommie coloured my hair and it's back to a lovely shiny fresh blonde colour and Martin cut and blow dried it ... I wish he could do it every day for me! Thank you boys I've had lots of lovely comments on how fab my hair looks today! Merry Christmas to you all. xx

It is always a pleasurable experience to be in the capable hands of Martin - not only for his scissor-wielding and dryer-operating skills, but (almost as important) his conversation and friendliness. I regard my trip to Nicky Clarke as a real treat and morale booster.

Arrived at the salon with 7 months worth of roots; a real challenge for Jessica! However she took it all in her stride, and did the most amazing job. I can honestly say in all the years I've been going to top hairdressers in London etc, what Jessica did was just incredible. Not only did she listen to what I wanted which given the state of my hair seemed impossible, she actually made that come true.The result was fantastic and I can honestly say it's the best colour I've ever had. Well done Jessica and just wow...
