As usual an excellent cut and style but was very disappointed with the visit. We were late getting started and my stylist was called away to do other things on at least six occasions without even an apology. I felt like I was an afterthought and less important than other clients or tasks - even to the point of doing a skin test in the middle of my blow dry on another client. I the 3 years I have been a client this is the first time this has happened.

Dear Sue,

I am so sorry to hear that your experience with me on your last appointment has not met your expectations. Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and I am truly sorry that you feel that wasn’t demonstrated to you.
While I’d love the opportunity to regain your trust by offering you a complementary cut. I understand how frustrated you must be.

My sincere apologies Shalani.

Kia was brilliant, she took the time to go through exactly what I wanted and did exactly that. She is so lovely and I felt comfortable and confident that she understood exactly what I was after.
She really did as I came out with exactly the blonde I wanted and the cut. I have very very curly hair and she knew exactly what to do with it. It looks fabulous and I can’t thank her enough. The staff and salon are great and I will be returning.
Thank you so much

I words can not express how happy I am with my hair, after many years off not going to a hairdresser due to being scared to let anyone loose on my hair I can finally say I found the right salon and hairdressers for me now. The staff made me feel so comfortable, and I feel like I've been going there for years, I am more than happy with my hair and would recommend the salon to everyone I know.

I spent half my day at the Salon today whilst Shalani took me from a dusty brown to a lighter colour I have only ever imagined and totally transformed my hair. Prior to todays appointment I visited the salon for a skin test and consultation where I told Shalani I actually wanted to go red. She could’ve said “ Yes Estelle that will look great let’s do this” but she didn’t appease me. She told me although it is a nice colour and will look great, if I want to change the colour in future it, red is one of the hardest colours to get out, so we had a look together at what other colours I like that would also give me the same colour pop as this is the first time drastically changing the colour of my hair. I was free to make my own choice and instead I am now a semi blonde with some of my own natural hair colour too. Shalani is a great listener, a great stylist, a great colourist - I am so happy with my hair and the service I received today. Also a big shout out to the other girls in the salon Lekia and Sydney for their service.
