I am not one to leave a negative review but I went for a half balayage and regrowth and ended up blonde (my first balayage was done nicely - this would have been a top-up). I was simply told to wait a little and get used to it - and next time, come back for some darker highlights to correct the blonde (on my own cost, of course). I stressed the fact I did not like that it came out as blonde and I was told: this is what happens when you have a follow up after an initial balayage, you simply can’t have the clean balayage. I wish I would have been told this before and not guaranteed a different service, or I would have looked for a different hairdresser. Utterly disappointed for something that costed quite a lot. For £216 I was expecting better. I will need to pay more to cover the mistake.

Came to Carter and shields after hearing through my friend that they do beauty works hair extensions. After having been to other salons and just getting an okay standard of hair extensions, I had a consultation with bethany and she recommended the beauty works ultimate package. I have never been so happy with my hair! She gave me a very in depth consultation, my colour match is perfect and she explained how the package subscription works. I can’t wait for my next appointment with Jess for my unlimited blow dries!

Honestly, I usually don’t like having my hair done, sitting for hours on end is always hard for me and I find my self clock watching but not any more... I didn’t look once!
I just had the best time with Bethany! Such a warm welcome, worked together to hatch a plan on how to tackle my tired looking hair and am over the moon with the results. Hair looks fab, I felt well looked after and pampered throughout and enjoyed the Prosecco to get me in the Christmas spirit! Shout out to Isobel also who gave the best head massage!

All the girls were so friendly, and I can’t wait to come back in the new year!

The end result is the most beautiful colour I’ve ever experienced. Her kindness and patience throughout for a big correction was overwhelming. I have found my forever hairdresser. All the ladies and the salon environment is one of the most friendliest and kindest Ive ever been to in 20 years. 100% recommend

I popped in this afternoon hoping Rhi could rescue my hair - I've neglected it for 2 years and even (stupidly) hacked away at it myself. As always, the C&S team were warm and welcoming and were able to squeeze me in there and then.
My hair feels 100% healthier and I cant wait to visit again in a couple of weeks to get my colour sorted.

This salon is great, and Rhianna is amazing. I only had a vague idea of what I wanted so was really grateful for Rhianna's guidance. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional, explaining to me really clearly how the different colours and toners would be applied to create the new look. The result was so good! Great haircut and colouring throughout - plus the hair wash and mini head massage just made the whole experience fantastic...
