Took my son in for a fresh look and the girls did not disappoint! Wash, cut and style. He said it was literally the best haircut hed ever had! I said 'thats not just a haircut mate... That's STYLE"

I was delighted with my cut and style at Jill Smillie Hairdressing. What friendly and welcoming ladies and my hair looks super, still holding its style four days later. I am very particular about my hair… which is long and curly, but it looked and continues to look glamorous and beautiful. Thank you ladies, I will definitely return.

I've been coming to the salon for a while now and always feel like staff care about the end result of my cut, and my kids love it too. A small salon but very spacious. The team are lovely, welcoming, chatty and efficient. When covid restrictions have placed extra strain they have been friendly and apologetic in their communication. I very much enjoy using the salon and feel like it's money well spent for all of us.
