It's always such a lovely, relaxing experience from the moment you step in the door to the moment you walk out. Hands down the best salon with the best people, not just for their skills, but for creating such a friendly, welcoming and beautiful space. Thanks to all the team. I'll miss you. xx

Overall very disappointed with the results. When I get a blow dry, it always lasts a week. My hair can hold a curl and look sleek. I have an appointment on Saturday and I wanted my hair to look polished. My hair looks awful, very fizzy and not smooth at all. During the appointment there was talk about GHDs as the better option, I have never needed GHDs. I like the look of a good blow dry. I question if the hair dryers get hot enough to properly smooth the hair of a customer with curly hair. I reiterate, I can't count how many blow drys I have had, I always get them done in a salon. This was an awful blow dry. I am left now left being unorganised for Saturday

I can’t praise the team a Patrick Gildea highly enough, they really go the extra mile to make sure you feel fantastic about your hair. Anita and Kiera did a fantastic colour transformation to platinum white with pearlised mauve roots on a choppy pixie cut. I’ve had so many compliments already and feel great! Thanks so much!
