I booked an appointment after reading lots of 5 star reviews. I have curly hair so a good cut is important to help me control it! Maria made me feel welcome, at ease and I was very pleased with the results. I have received lots of compliments about my hair following my visit. I will be returning :-)

By far the best salon in Colchester! I visited for a colour correction and Maria was beyond amazing, she is clearly an expert at what she does and worked absolute wonders on my hair! The atmosphere these ladies create is so friendly, fun, and enjoyable to be around. Maria gave me honest and genuine advice about my hair, then went above and beyond to get the result we wanted. She is so generous with her time and expertise, I can't wait til my next visit. Absolutely amazing, 5 stars! :-)
