    I came in for a curly cut and consultation with Syd and she was amazing. Really listened to what I wanted. Gave me amazing advice about how to style and maintain my hair at home. She talked through every stage of the appointment to explain why what she was doing was best for my hair type. Her and all the staff were lovely and created a really welcoming environment.

    I received a very warm welcome from the staff, and the salon itself was very inviting. Syd, who did my hair, was very efficient and did a brilliant job. I hope to be back soon

    Loved having my hair done by Syd. I have wavy hair so wanted a cut that suited both straight & wavy hair. Turned out perfect.

    I had an amazing experience with Syd last week. I’m a new client and we had a great conversation about my hair needs and wants, particularly as my hair has become wavy/curly over recent years and I wanted to know how to best take care of it at home. Syd gave amazing communication, explaining what she was doing cut wise to compliment the curls, and then showed me how to use styling products and a particular brush which I was able to purchase from them for a reasonable price. I’ve since given the tips a go at home and I’ve noticed the difference with my hair! The salon itself was lovely, well kept, and all the staff were very friendly. I went in to book my appointment rather than do it online and this was really quick and easy. Thank you for a great experience, look forward to coming back!

    I had a phone call the day before to confirm my appointment and discuss the details- this was really helpful as I was nervous attending my first appointment. At the appointment, Katie was really friendly, answered any questions I had, and was very efficient! Excited to continue my nail growth journey with them- and use the vouchers they offered me as a first time customer!

    This salon was the most friendliest I ever had the pleasure to walk into. I had a facial and it was wonderful, they took time to assess my skin and talk to me about options. I would certainly recommend this salon.
