Jemma, Georgia and Laurent made me feel so welcome today. A very relaxed, modern and dynamic environment offering great services at competitive prices - nothing was too much trouble. Great location; ~7 minutes on foot from Harrogate station (make use of the platform 3 exit!). A real gem!

Lovely experience. They all made me so welcome after I asked for wash, blow and curls for a special occasion tonight. I felt very special and my hair looks fabulous.

I've been going to The French Reception for several years now and I never fail to be impressed by the service that I receive from Laurent and Georgia. The salon is stylish and my cut and colour is always excellent. There's even a gin thrown in! Highly recommended.

I have been to few hairdressers in my time and I have to say Laurent is the most talented stylist I have ever meet, I had my hair done for the first time today and my hair cut looks outstanding I cannot tell you how happy I am, Laurent just knows how to cut hair and it is like art. I will 100% be returning.

I have very curly hair and find it difficult to find a salon that actually understands the nature of curly hair, rather than just cutting it.
Laurent and the team did a fantastic job with my hair and the salon is calm and relaxing.
Loved it and will be returning

I can’t recommend Laurent highly enough, he’s a fantastic hairdresser. He spent time considering the best cut for my hair and face and I’ve ended up with hands down the best haircut and colour I’ve ever had. The salon is calm and relaxing (possibly helped by the complimentary G&T 😉). Happy to have found Laurent, I’ll definitely be back soon!
