I thought Vicky very knowledgeable about what would suit my face. She talked me through the whole process and suggested to shave parts of my new short style. I felt confident and relaxed the entire time and I am absolutely delighted with my new look. So much so that I will be returning .

Had an amazing experience with Bronagh, listened to my needs as well as giving me advice on my scalp concerns. She was able to explain in great detail the treatments that are available and what would benefit me. Bronagh is a natural, fantastic with sales, knowledgeable and wonderful stylist who made me feel at ease. Already booked my next appointment and looking forward to it!

Kiera, is an amazing hairdresser. She is also skilled at putting you at ease and taking time with you. I can't say enough about her attention to detail and how amazing she is at cutting and styling hair. However the best thing about her is that she makes me laugh so much that getting my hair done is no longer a chore!!
Beautiful clean friendly salon. Very friendly.

Megan really went the extra mile for my hair needs today. The job was huge as I had a lot of regrowth and my hair is so so very thick. I really appreciated the in depth consultation as the result was on point! Megan has a natural talent for understanding moods/vibes via sample pics and is great at actualizing your goal. Highly recommend.

Appointment verified by Phorest

I visited Patrick’s salon 10 days ago as a new client.

The positives :-
I was met by the very attentive junior staff , who conducted a tour of the salon which is beautiful.
The sinks are very comfortable and and the refreshments plentiful .
My stylist conducted a through consultation and as a new client I also benefited from Patrick’s input.
A plan of my visit was settled on and I was looking forward to the transformation.

The Negatives :-
My colouring did not go according to plan which resulting in me having a orange streak down the front of my hair :( , what followed was a lengthy process to rectify it , which resulted in my hair being dyed n re dyed , the lengthy time extension clearly had a knock on effect to my stylists other clients and although she remained very professional and calm on the surface it was clear that there was some swan like panic in the salon .

I was due to go out in the evening which I had made them aware of but sadly after six hours in the salon I never got home until 9pm .

stylist asked if she could take some pictures at the end of the appointment as Patrick would like to see the result ( he had long since left the salon ).
I am very happy with my cut and although the colour is fine at the moment my concern is that after a few more washes my orange streak maybe back!!!

Most upsetting of all was the fact that none of the inconvenience caused to me was recognised at the till and 100% of the bill was requested and settled.
This is not a cheap salon and I have no problem paying for A* service but this is not what I received on this occasion .

I visited the Salon 10 days ago and was met by very warm and friendly junior staff .

The positives : The salon is beautiful and I enjoyed the personal guided tour as a new client , I found the basins and chair very comfortable and refreshments plentiful.

My consultation with Irene for a Colour and cut was through and I felt she had good knowledge of products used and advised me accordingly.
I also was lucky enough to have Patrick’s input/ advise that differed slightly to Irene’s .

The Negatives : After trying some lighting foils as advised by Patrick it was clear that we had not developed the desired result - a very long story short my hair had to be re - coloured in a bid to cover the Orange streaks we had achieved.
This clearly caused a lengthy delay ( 6 hours in salon ) and had a knock on effect to Irene’s other clients .
Irene / Patrick did their best to manage the situation on the surfaces but it did feel like there was an element of panic going on .

My greatest disappointment was that the lengthy delays and hiccups were not recognised at the till , full payment was requested and paid . - I was due out on the Fri day night at 8pm ( which I made Patrick aware of ) but didn’t get out of the salon till 8.15 ?.
All in all I feel my time and inconvenience should definitely been taken into consideration when the bill was being drawn up .

Irene took some pictures of my hair for Patrick to see the next day as he had long since left the salon and I was overall happy with how my hair looked when leaving the salon , However my hair has been washed twice since and I think before long I’m going to be orange again on the lifted streaks and will need to get this rectified .

Sadly not quite what I was expecting from a top end salon .
