As a returning customer from Bromborough salon I was really pleased to see one of the same staff who was familiar with the colour I have.
Root foil touch up, application of dye I Brough from home, trim and blow dry.
I will be returning to see Beth again.
I am disappointed that Brombough salon has now closed as I live in Little Sutton and Heswall is quite a distance.

Danielle made me feel at ease about my damaged hair . I had bleached it at home and thought it was beyond repair. Somehow she managed to cut and style my hair so it felt healthy again! Can’t thank her enough and the rest of the team with lots of help about special conditioning treatments like Olaplex. Cheers Ahead hair ?

Brought my very fashion conscious tween in for her first proper hair restyle, she had clear ideas of what she wanted but thankfully Raemer was able to guide her to what was age appropriate and suitable for her hair, and created the most fabulous cut that met her expectations but was age appropriate and won’t freak out the Head mistress tomorrow ?
