I had a great trim, blow dry and chat with Dan. Loved the relaxed but professional vibe, I’ll definitely be coming back.
Very relaxed salon with chilled out staff. Unpretentious, yet trendy. Had an excellent head massage and the stylist picked up on my cues that I wasn't a big talker (loathe having forced conversation). Was offered a drink and served a biscuit with it to boot, so that was a nice you touch. Cut was very good and as discussed. Suits my face shape and now that I've had the chance to wash and style it myself, I very much like it. To bring this up to a five star, the styling of the hair was not as discussed. I left with relatively flat hair, not with the messy, beachy hair we had discussed from a styling perspective. I will emphasise that the cut was very well done, but I only discovered this upon leaving the salon. I felt my stylist was pretty nonchalant. That or hungover. Regardless, it didn't feel like she was interested in cutting my hair and that I was more of an inconvenience to her day. Her lack of engagement actually ended up working out, as I wasn't interested in carrying on a conversation, but as a client it would have been nice to feel like she was interested in cutting my hair versus "let's just get this over done with, shall we?".
Dan did a great trim and blow dry for me. I liked that he gave me some ideas about what he'd recommend rather than just listening to what I thought I wanted. Great chat, ambience and space.
The salon is quite modern and a bit hipstery in looks, which I like :) It also makes it different from other salons in the area, that are a bit more classic. Maria is a sweetheart. She took a lot of care on the work she was doing on my nails and was very kind and friendly. One week in, and the shellac is still spotless. I love the colour and the technique. Definitely coming back next time I do my nails! :)
A warm welcome, solid drinks selection offered when I arrived, and a great haircut. There was a 20min wait, which was a bit annoying as I was on my lunch and meant my treatment had to be cut a bit short, but otherwise a great experience and would definitely recommend a haircut with Amy.
