It was so lovely to come into such a beautiful salon. From the window boxes on the entrance archway, the beautiful wreath and flowers everywhere I looked. This just lifted my spirits immediately and no one had even touched my hair. I always love everything about getting my hair done at HAC. It's a full experience. xx

I have very fine difficult straight hair, Shannon took her time to discuss the benefits of creating a style that would give me volume and shape suitable for me to be able to manage. I was very pleased with my new style and I could see that Shannon took pride in her work she clearly has great talent.
I would highly recommend H.A.C
I felt safe in knowing the salon had been cleaned to a high standard especially during times of this nasty COVID virus
Well done to everyone

I've been getting my hair coloured and styled at HAC for a couple of years, but this visit they went above and beyond to fit me in at short notice. Shannon coloured my hair and Sara cut and styled it. Not only did they suggest and give me a new look, they were confident in their advice.

Always a treat to go and have your hair done and even in these times Sara and her staff make it easy for everyone to stay safe whilst still having a peaceful relaxing time. All staff wear visors and masks as standard and there’s plenty of space to move around safely too. If you fancy leading through magazines while you’re having a colour for example, actual printed mags have been dispensed with to be replaced with a free to use magazine download service so make sure you bring your mobile phone!
Always great- thanks very much Team HAC
