Had my gel nails done here a couple times with Ashlin who is incredibly talented and took so much time and care over every detail. Will definitely be becoming a regular there and 100% would recommend. Very good value for money. Cheaper than other salons Ive visited and a super nice and friendly atmosphere

Everything was fantastic - from when I walked in I was made to feel very welcome. Really happy with YoYo - felt very heard and involved with what I wanted for my cut and very happy with the result. I loved that there was a salon dog and the lady who washed my hair gave a great head massage. All in all a very positive experience was had.

Great attention throughout my experience: from the young woman who washed my hair (telling me at each stage what was going to happen - great communication skills); to Ian being attentive to my hair - its quality, how it falls, what would suit my face. I left feeling very soothed and happy with my hair cut and tips for looking after it.

I had my hair cut by Cleo this morning and Im genuinely delighted. She listened to what I wanted and delivered a beautiful long bob, which looks so healthy. The salon is very clean and stylish, and has a lovely relaxed green feel, without pretence. All the staff I dealt with were very personable, friendly and professional.
