Lovely surprise

Having not been to a salon since before the pandemic, I was impressed. Marie made my messy long grey locks into something vaguely approaching sophistication. She engaged with my ideas and the photos I had brought with me, to create a style that looks great and fits my lifestyle. I also appreciated all the tips for styling and hair health that she shared. Thank you.

Excellent relaxing experience as always . Helen saved the day by going home to get her gel nail setting machine (sorry don't know the proper name) as the one at the salon packed up just as I was having my nails done . No ones fault as these things happen but was dealt with professionally and efficiently. Brilliant leg wax and an absolutely wonderful Indian head massage followed by a wash and blow dry all ready for my holidays now! Thank you all at Quintessential for your friendly,professional,excellent and consistent service . 5 stars + every time

Clammy is a lovely lady with an eye for style, despite having to work on a grey haired old lady, she makes me feel great when finished. I’ve had a cut/ Colour and treatments over the three visits with assistance from Natalie who is lovely.
I love the tray of tea with my own teapot which is a lovely touch, maybe a glass of bubbly would be an option at Xmas ?

I’ve not been to this salon before. First impressions is that it’s clean and busy. Member of the team that greeted me was friendly.
My wash cut and blow dry took less than 30 mins. Which is ok as my hair is straight and I only asked for a rough dry. Though in other salons the same treatment usually takes an hour.
The team member that cut my hair was not the usual stereotypical chatty hair dresser but again that’s ok, as she did a really good job of doing a blunt, straight cut. Just as I asked.
The bit I was disappointed about is that I’m pregnant and I was taken to a seat upstairs in a warm room but I wasn’t even offered a drink. Not even a small glass of water.
I’d heard really good things about this salon and was recommended it by a friend who has been going to them for years.
Would I go back? Sadly not, I didn’t book another appointment when I left.
