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.

First time visiting this salon - I live in Dublin which is unfortunate otherwise I would be a regular client! Booked in for a blow dry and what an experience from beginning to end. Sharon was incredible
& I am seriously considering travelling back up for a colour and a cut. Cannot recommend highly enough!

I had my hair styled by Laura twice now and I can’t emphasise enough how her attentive listening truly reflects in the final results. 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!

Bronagh was good, did a nice job on Elises hair. I take her in regularly for her cut and blow dry on the family journey as I am a regular customer. Usually she gets wee plaits too. Today I was told it would be a bit extra for the plaits, I said OK but was surprised when I was charged 38E for what I usually pay 19E for. I don't mind paying a bit more for plaits but I feel double the price is too much and I feel a bit ripped off.
