It was a wonderful experience from the moment I walked in the door. Beautiful decor, comfortable waiting area, offered tea/coffee, and nice surprise of added biscuit and chocolate.
Patrick is 1 of only 2 people that ever cut my hair that I trust completely. He transformed my waist length hair into a fabulous managable bob.
What I notice, and really love is how friendly everyone is that is working there. Everyone happy and smiling. It really added to the whole experience..
Oh and I nearly forgot the beautiful head massage..

Megan had her work cut out today. I've been trying to grow my hair and today was a difficult day for me as recently when I looked in the mirror I didn't see me. Megan did let me know that there would be days like this and today she was not just a stylist but a counsellor 🙂. Megan was very patient, professional and understanding of my dilemma. I left with a lovely hair cut and a new me.
Thank you Megan.

Due to my very fragile daughter, I used this appointment as a break from reality. I was not disappointed. I won't be parting from Megan
I felt from the constant smiles of others enjoying being there..
The individual staff and what they personally embrace is a reflection of a very opened minded Patrick. Did I feel special...YES.

I was the new costumer and the last too.
Stylist did not know how to handle heavy long hair.
Paid 105 euros just for some normal layers, I was told blow dry cut is between 85-100 when booking appointment.
I did not even received a cup of tea after being asked by the other stylist.
Stylists are not friendly at all.

Both times I walked out of the salon absolutely delighted with my hair- she’s a fabulous colourist! Also I have to add just how friendly and welcoming all the staff are there, making it an all-around great experience. I look forward to my next appointment!
