Hi Hannah, thanks for the lovely review, I'm sorry that we slipped up on the music, we normally have a long chilled mix playlist on the go, Cafe Del Mar, Hotel Costes, Nightmares on Wax etc. Sometimes it drops out with the internet buffering, our apologies, hope to see you again soon.

Best haircut I have ever had

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

Coming out of lockdown I admit I was craving a haircut and a chat like a deprived addict, so my first hit was always going to be amazing. But I was super impressed with the whole team. From the doorstep, with the motion activated hand sanitiser, the attention to detail was exceptional throughout. It turns out Stephanie adores dogs, like me, and has two spaniels who were 2 and 1. Just like me! So we had plenty to gush about whilst my head was relieved of its Boris mop. So I skipped out of the door with not only a fantastic haircut and safe haircut, but a promotion code for exceptional raw dog food and a lovely chat about my favourite things with....another dog obsessive. What’s not to like about that? It doesn’t get any better, hence 5 star rating on every front. The best haircut I have ever had.

Emily worked her magic as usual but this time I had so much hair in need of her skills. In these covid times we have been deprived of so many things that we were accustomed to including not being able to look as we wished. Emily gave me that back - excellent advice, great colour and an amazing haircut. I'm back!
