Ive been going to Mint for about 6 months now and have never been disappointed. Dan is super welcoming, always remembers previous conversations and ensures the whole experience is spot on - all starting with the best head massage from Kelly! The end result is an awesome haircut given over a chilled beer and a geeky conversation about road bikes! Whats not to like! I cant recommend the team at Mint & Dan enough. Thanks guys!

Had been really looking forward to a haircut after lockdown. Sadly I was very disappointed by the haircut at this salon. My hair looked a mess, (there was absolutely no shape). I tried to improve on returning home and trying to style myself. The salon did agree to "remedy" the problem and another appointment was speedily arranged - but this had to be with the same hairdresser. I was surprised that despite making a complaint, she made no apology, but on this occasion appeared to make some effort to demonstrate that the haircut was actually worth over 70. Perhaps this was because the manager was

Excellent service from Anna. Have booked with her twice. Best mens haircut I've ever had! Truly. Anna is super attentive to shaping the style of the haircut to my box-shaped head. In fact it was cut so well, I barely had to use any product for 3-4 weeks. Before I had my haircut with Anna, I usually had to start using hair gel to 'slick down' the problem areas growing out after a week (e.g. my cow lick sticking up on the crown of my head). Well worth the money (45 for mens cut/shampoo) and the ambience/interior design in the place is great too. Very chic. Would 10/10 recommend to fellow men

Have been coming here for many, many years for my hair and Pennys magic facials. I am always extremely pleased. You really feel the family atmosphere - enhanced by Minty the pug parking himself on your lap whilst you get your blow dry! And theres always much to laugh about and some groovy tunes in the background. At the same time the standards of haircare are absolutely excellent. These qualities combined with a commitment to sustainability (refillable bottles, reduced laundry costs, organic products) make this lively fun place somewhere that actually takes itself and its contribution

Top hair dressers!! I had lovely Georgie and she did the best cut on my fringe Ive had for a while. I also love the salon decor/ vibe its self, its very calming and pretty. Have walked past Mint so many times and so glad I finally came in. I was able to get an appointment the very next day. I was even told that between haircuts I can come in for a quick fringe trim free of charge! Mint will now be my permanent hair dressers for sure!!!
