Had two appointments at Gracie Js recently, recommended by another very happy customer. They were right to sing their praises! Rachel did a beautiful job with my lash lift and brows, very attentive and the best Ive seen them.
Tanya made a recommendation for my hair and I was blown away by the results. Luscious, natural blonde colour and exactly the cut I wanted. Thank you Gracie Js, Ive found my new hair & beauty salon.

It was really good to have my hair cut and styled by Tanya at Gracie Js today, the first time since " lockdown". As always, it was a lovely welcoming environment, with plenty of attention paid to hygiene and cleanliness, so I was able to relax and enjoy the wonderful head massage from Melissa! I have been a client here since Gracie J's came to Risinghurst, and really appreciate the time, skill and expertise that is always given to me by the wonderful Tanya, who is always so kind and helpful to me in coping with my personal health issues relating to my hair.

Gracy Js is the nicest place. I felt so comfortable here. The Salon is so stylishly decorated and the music is perfect. I had my hair done by Tanya and Im the happiest Ive been after a cut and colour for as long as I can remember. She helped with recommendations as I really wasnt sure what would be best for me. I cant wait to get booked into the spa for much needed relaxation. I was lucky to have a tour of the spa and like the Salon it looks newly refurbished and trendy.
Id really recommend this place. So glad Ive found it. Lovely staff... Plus loads of free parking.

Absolutely lovely salon. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. They've adapted so well to COVID restrictions (hopefully that will all be over soon!) but I always feel incredibly safe. Diane is a magician with colour and cutting, and it's incredible value compared to some of the city centre salons. I can't recommend it enough! 10/10.

Gracie J's hair and spa is outstanding. I have been to the Spa several times which Sarah and the spa team are world class. My therapist is Laura who is brilliant not just in her treatments but her product knowledge is unbelievable and you can tell she knows exactly what she is doing. The atmosphere in the salon and the spa is perfectly welcoming and you feel like a different person when you walk out.
If you are looking for a real treat with a lovely team and at very reasonable prices then you have to give this place a try! you won't regret it and they will make you feel like a V.I.P! Thanks Gracie
