My first time at the salon.
Ryan greeted me and was really lovely.. Penny was with me in no time and took the time to understand what it was that I wanted from my appointment. I was more than happy with the results. It’s the best my hair has looked in a long time. Amazing work & knowledge.
Look forward to my next appointment!

I had a walk in appointment. Cut & blow dry by Holly. After an initial consultation Holly cut & styled my hair as I asked. She explained everything throughout the cut & checked in after she had completed styling.

Holly was friendly & polite and I was very pleased with my hair.

I will definitely be back soon.

Although I wasn’t able to have the highlights and colour I wanted because of condition of my hair my stylist penny explained clearly to me that it would be an ongoing project! She was very friendly and kind - I had roots done and cut/blow dry. Expensive at £99 not really happy with my hair for the cost - nobody noticed I’d even had it done !!

I had my full head of highlights done today by the lovely Penny.Not only she has done an amazing colour blend to precisely suit my taste but I feel that she went above and beyond to be exceptionally professional. By that I mean she made sure I’m at all time aware what she is doing and what is going to happen next , which in my eyes is very helpful if you have to wait at times. So ,thank you Penny , lovely meeting you.
