TERRIBLE!!! Will never go back. The staff in this so called salon are sub-standard at best. Obviously there are fake reviews on here, saying there is great parking. There is not, there's only a 60 min free park before you get a ticket!!! And then theres the rear garden! OMG! It looks like Beirut mixed with Syria! It's absolutely disgusting the state of the garden. How could you trust a person to look after you hair when they leave their outside premises in such a mess??? The women in this shop look more like Sharon and Tracy from the Viz, than proper beauticians. I will never return to this
