I had an amazing experience. I very rarely get my hair done (2 years being the last time) and was slightly nervous but Jade made me feel at ease with the whole process. I had before and after photos taken and the results are fab. She was patient and understanding with my very little ‘hair knowledge’. I shall definitely come back and would highly recommend Jade as a hairstylist. Thank you :)

What a joy to be back and in the capable hands of Rosabel. She is absolutely brilliant with colour and it was so good to have my bob back..... with a slight twist..... side parting and giving a go at growing out my fringe. Excellent care taken with all aspects of hygiene and Covid regulations. I didn't miss the music, lack of magazines and cuppa, so can honestly say the relaxing ambience was as good as ever.

The procedure was clearly explained in the salon. Liked the hands free hand sanitizer. I quite liked being done up in the cape, kept the hair off my clothes.
Great to see Eloise again and have her personal service. Can't be easy for the staff either.
Very pleased with my cut and beachy finish.
Hopefully see you again before the end of the year!

I normally have very short hair, but having “accidentally “ grown it over the past few months- I wasn’t sure what I wanted today. However, Freya has given my hair such a lovely shape, without it being too long- or too short!
Feels great, ready for son’s wedding in 3 days’ time....Also very impressed with the safety and hygiene standards, and loved being near an open window...Thanks very much!

Thanks Brydie for a great cut. The last time you cut my hair was the middle of March and it is a testament to your cutting that it was still presentable four and a half months later post-Lockdown! Everyone in the salon from the front desk to the salon floor was welcoming and friendly and it was clear that a lot of thought and hard work has gone into making everyone feel safe in these strange times.

It was great to see Freya and the rest of the staff after months of being closed. As usual Freya was able to help me decide what to do with my hair. Having not had it done since the end of Feb it was quite out of control. Welcome back ladies.

Always a fab experience. Freya is a very talented hair stylist. Very impressed about the provision of PPE today. I am hard of hearing and I found the light and reflection from the visor made it hard for me to lip read Freya. Having said that I have been struggling with communication during the COVID so I do understand it’s for our protection. I felt excited about coming because it’s such an enjoyable experience each time I come. Lovely modern salon beautifully set out with a wonderful view
