I was very surprised to read the latest review. The reviewer said that she received no consultation regarding colour. also she said no one came to check on her when her colour was 'taking'. I have been coming to Leigh Roberts since it opened (seem ages ago) and every time I come to have colour, cut and style I always have a consultation with both Leigh and Gary even though I have the same thing. I used to live in T' Wells but moved to Essex a few years ago but still come to have my hair done. Best hair dressers ever! and I've been to a few.

These guys absolutely saved my hair! Rosie is now my regular hairdresser here and she is amazing, my hair now looks beautiful! Everyone here is so lovely and welcoming and the head massage during the wash is a lovely touch. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone looking for the perfect colour and cut.

If you want a drastic change (i.e. dark to light) pick somewhere else, ideally somewhere that offers a consultation first. I came here in August after reading a lot of good reviews. I explained to the lady on the phone (who was actually very polite - couldn't fault her) that I had very long dark hair and wanted to go lighter (I was thinking Balayage blonde). I showed my hairdresser a picture of what I wanted, fully aware that it wouldn't be possible in one sitting. To cut a long story short, she did the Balayage look, but only came over once during the developing time. I understand that they see

My second visit to Leigh Roberts - and I just wanted to say a Big Thank You to the wonderful Gary who has coloured and cut my hair both times. He really listens and gave me his full attention when we talked about options for hair colour.. and the cut he did is super stylish and exactly what I had in mind. The salon is smart and understated with a restful atmosphere and everyone is very professional and friendly. Really looking forward to my next appointment !
