Excellent service for Kelly! She listened to me, looked at the pictures of hairstyles I had saved and gave me exactly what I wanted. She took her time and now I love my hair cut after a bad experience elsewhere. I will definitely go back to Kelly!

Fair warning - this salon is NOT cheap so if you are going for a very simple style that other hairdressers can pull off I'm not going to recommend it. It's most definitely a high-end place that I recommend only for special occasions of if you're really looking to treat yourself. With that said, I've been to 3 "high-end" salons so far in Cardiff - Guy Christian, Hair Bauhaus, and Ken Picton and I can definitely say that if I were to pick one that I'd come back to - it'd definitely be this place. I came here for hair and makeup for my wedding and made a booking
