Lovely salon, modern and professional. All of the staff are welcoming and friendly. Maizy cuts, and colours my hair and I am always pleased with the result. She takes the time to find out exactly what you want and always delivers on this. My daughter also now uses this salon. I would not hesitate to recommend AJ's.

I recently visited AJ's for the first time for a free consultation with Allison. I was unsure what I wanted, apart from the option to still put it up on occasions. My hair had become much thinner without any of the body or bounce I had always taken for granted. Allison cut my hair with expert precision and very cautious layering to allow for this and did a lovely blow dry. There is a friendly atmosphere in the salon which is spotlessly clean and parking is free. Congratulations and enjoy your 20 year celebrations on 18th September. Thank you.
