I have been getting my hair cut by salon owner Louise for well over 10 years now and always enjoy our chats and laughs while in her professional company. The salon is a friendly and welcoming place to be and can't wait for my next appointment. I might even have a green tea next time!

Fantastic atmosphere and all the staff are lovely. I have my hair cut and coloured regularly here with salon director Louise (she is a superstar of hair), and I love visiting. The colour is great (white blonde) and the condition of my hair is really good (I go every 6-7 weeks). They really know what they are talking about when it comes to hair colour and colour maintenance. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair!

Love this Hairdressers, from the director Louise to all the stylists and staff. Very friendly, warm welcome, spend time finding out what you want, I have had my haircut by most an always a happy bunny, an never 'scissor happy' thankfully as so many others in the past! took me years to find this gem, and highly recomend.
