A great hairdressers with really excellent staff. As usual I've been treated to an excellent cour, sorely needed because of lockdown! I've also had a really good trim and I'm looking and feeling so much better as a result.

Staff are friendly but my blow dry lasted for an hour. Hair wash was nice but left me with a wet jumper. Will not go back.

After moving to a different town I have realised how much I miss this hairdresser! Balayage was a very good price compared to other places and was done perfectly by Hannah every time. Highly recommended
