90% pleased. Original picture of hairstyle I wanted had not been saved to my notes, and then new stylist did not have right picture. Also, website regarding accessing appointments not user friendly. I mentioned both these issues but did not receive a response either time!

Words to express how amazing my experience meeting Kiera was:
Refreshing - to be able to talk "all things curly" with someone who totally understands curly hair.
Fun
Relaxing
Safe - Kiera, you are such a professional, you know what you are doing and made me feel totally at ease.
My hair felt safe in your hands ?.
Cared for - you made me feel special, as if I was your only client for the day.
Attention to detail - second to none.
I've been singing your praises since and will continue to do so ?.
Full marks to you Kiera.
Thank you so much and I'll see you next time!

Such a beautiful salon with the most professional and friendly staff. I just moved to Ireland so this was my first visit and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience that felt so personalised from start to finish. Anita really understood what I wanted and the challenge of having very fine hair. The wash, cut and styling was perfect.

I'm now officially a "curly girl", thanks to Kiera!! I knew I had them, just didn't know HOW to produce them in a 'good' way. My attempts only resulted in frizz and frustration, but Kiera knew exactly how to bring the curls out. I listened attentively on my first visit 8 weeks ago as I learned the process of plopping, squishing, casts and curls :-D I've worn my hair curly each day since! Today I wanted more shape, and help with curling the front and top of my head. Kiera did not fail to deliver on each of these issues, and I came away a very happy client, with a few more tips as well. Thank you very much Kiera, I'll be back.

Claudia cut my 10 year old son’s hair yesterday and she was truly incredible and so very kind. My son has autism and before Claudia came over he wanted to leave. When I told Claudia that he was feeling overwhelmed she moved him to a quieter chair and told him his long hair was cool and was so attentive to him throughout his appointment. He left the salon with a big smile on his face, hot chocolate in hand and with lots of movement in his hair (which he hopes I can achieve again for him!! I can’t :) lol). Thank you so much Claudia for making my little boy feel so happy and comfortable during his appointment -your kindness made such a difference to his day.

Appointment verified by Phorest

I had a consultation with Kiera having only a vague idea what I wanted to do with my hair, and that was to let my natural grey hair come through. Kiera really listened, found out what my hair was like and focused on the colour as the main priority for now. She gave me a cut that meant a lot of brown hair was gone, but was also easy to manage. She then found a colour solution that meant I wasn't simply swapping one form of hair colour maintenance for another, but that still kept me going in the direction of grey. I felt listened to, and Kiera explained what she was doing and her reasons at every stage, always checking that I was happy with the process. I'm absolutely delighted with the result.
