That is so good to hear, we were so worried that the salon wouldn't feel the same or the experience would be dampened.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your lovely review, we are so happy you felt safe but most of all, you were delighted with your hair.

I have just relocated to Cornwall from Surrey and was dreading having to change my hairdresser. I have now been to Jade three times and I think that she and the whole H&W team are fabulous. I am looked after in every way and Jade is a very talented lady. She cuts/colours/highlights my hair perfectly and had a lovely personality to go with it. My visits have been so pleasurable and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. Thank you Jade!

I've been going to Hunter Walsh for many years and Nadine has been my stylist. She cuts my hair beautifully, although I had Eloise recently and she did a good job too. The staff are always friendly, the salon is in a superb position overlooking the harbour and the decor is quiet and stylish. It's always clean and light and airy. I would recommend it to anyone.

I went to Hunter Walsh on a freezing cold and rainy day for a very badly needed re-style and highlights. I looked like I had a mushroom on my head! Now, after a few hours of lovely pampering, and thanks to the exceptionally talented Vivienne, I hVe the perfect style. I no longer resemble a fungi but. I like to think, I'm a vibrant blonde fungirl!

Had a fantastic cut by Brydie, as I am now embracing my grey after many years of colouring, she has finished it off with a glossing toner, and, that together with some Kevin Murphy products my hair is now in brilliant shiny condition. If you don’t live locally like me, it’s only a very short walk to the bus and train station, and the sea view is lovely while you’re having your hair done.
