After 2 years of Covid hair (box colouring my roots) I was so anxious on how my hair would get back to its usual colour and look healthy. Lexi was absolutely confident and professional with her advice and her choice of colours to suit me, she listened to me and answered any questions I had. So I went with her suggestions and my hair has never looked or felt so great and healthy. The salon is super clean and the rest of the staff are very friendly. I left the salon feeling good about myself and loved my hair.
I have been back since with the same results and will continue to return.

Went to the salon today to have curtain bangs done. I'm very happy with the result. The stylist definitely listened to what I did / didn't want and she applied it. She was kind and professional ( no negative comments about my hair which I did experience in different salons). I also got a complementary drink, overall very satisfied. Slightly expensive but atleast you know you're in good hands.

This is my third time coming to this Salon. My first two visits were with Ryan and I was treated so well, given a complimentary hair mask around Christmas time last year and always so friendly.

My most recent visit was with Lexi and she was amazing! So friendly and understood how anxious I was for such a drastic change. It was very refreshing just being able to talk- something I find very hard to do to strangers. I left the salon feeling like a new person and I cannot stop looking at my beautiful hair. Thank you!!
