Anna is so caring and talented. She made me feel at ease from the beginning as she explains everything with detail and is so attentive. I got exactly what I asked for if not even better than I had envisioned. Called her the hair doctor! 10/10 service

I had my hair appointment with Sarah on 04.12.21 for a cut and blowdry. I was welcomed from the minute I stepped foot in the salon. The girl who washed my hair (sorry I didn’t catch her name!) was professional, chatty and even offered my feet to be reclined in the chair and a head massage. A lovely touch!

I was offered a choice of beverages as well which was a nice gesture.

Sarah was very friendly, attentive and both great with suggestions for my hairstyle but also very respectful and considerate as to the length I wanted off etc.

Sarah spent time styling my hair after as well.

This was my first visit to the salon and I will definitely come back.

I've tried a few different hairdressers the past couple of years and this is easily the best I've been to. The girl who greeted me today and washed my hair was lovely and made me feel at ease straight away. Courtney V. cut my hair and she did a great job making suggestions for how to get what I wanted and she was very friendly and professional. Really impressed with the result and the atmosphere of the salon, I would definitely recommend.
