Had a trim and blow dry and then had the straighteners put through to wave my hair. Lauren is brilliant and knows my hair and what I want doing with it now. Left feeling like a million dollars. I'm very happy. Thank you.

Misuse of products left me with badly broken and damaged hair. Important few days coming up and was beginning to panic. Dropped in to see what could be done and was pleasantly surprised to be fitted in at short notice and given a great cut to make me more presentable! Will be back in a few weeks to assess the progress.

Growing my grey out and have naturally curly hair which I usually get styled curly. This time I got a great smooth blow dry from Marie which showcases my lovely grey hair! Only a couple of inches to go - it’s been a journey, but Marie has been great throughout!

Was told one price on the booking but was shafted on the day I got my haircut so sad that this is the hair dressers tactics to bamboozle the client who could be a potential future customer for further bookings extremely disappointed in the service was quoted 33.00 for a cut a blow dry but was charged 55.00 got a little side head massage for 5 pounds which was fine by me but was in total shock my bill was 55.00 ponds for a bowl cut 3 inches cut of my length will never ever return to this salon

Response from Frances Hunter - Alloa

Hi disappointed to hear your appointment was not what you had expected. Please could you contact our Stirling salon on 01786 470 128 and speak to Allaine to hopefully resolve this matter.

Upon arriving at the salon I was greeted and made to feel welcome by Emma and swapped my jacket for the salon robe. Then was seated and offered a drink and asked how I was.

Ami came over and we decided what I wanted for today and then Ami did her magic and created a gorgeous multi tonal creamy blonde with a couple of inches cut off and to finish. A gorgeous ghd wave.

I really recommend Ami she is really gentle with your hair and very thorough and knows how to achieve the result you’re after. She is also super nice.

Absolutely loved my cut and colour with Marie. Changed my toner this time and it looks amazing. Marie always gives great advice about colours and styles and I always leave looking like a new woman! All the other staff in the salon are friendly and polite. I always get a wee cup of tea, a biscuit and a chat on my visits so I will be back again as usual in 2 months time. I definitely recommend this salon to others as I wouldn't go anywhere else, have been coming to Marie for years now. Salon is pleasant and comfortable so 5 stars from me.
