Came in to see Amy as I was completely at a loss as to how to get my curly hair back to how it used to be, and omg she was amazing! Walked me through every step, showed me techniques, told me the do’s and… don’ts about taking care of curly hair, answered all of my questions and put me totally at ease. My hair has now gone from a slight wave to defined curls with her help. Recommend her 100%. Thank you so much! Xx

I had my long dark hair changed into a bright purple and blue pixie. I am so pleased with my new hair! Jess is friendly and skilled and always makes me feel really welcome. The other staff are also great and always keep me well supplied with coffee and biscuits 😊

Booked a last minute appointment with Jess after being let down (twice! shocker!) by another salon. Jess is literally a miracle worker. She listened to what I was looking for and I feel absolutely fabulous after my cut. Will definitely be going back. I am so pleased with the cut and with the friendly service the salon offers as a whole.

Arena has such a warm, friendly atmosphere. I hadn't had my hair cut in two years and was feeling quite anxious but Jess was absolutely brilliant at making me feel at ease and making sure I got the best result. I love my new hairstyle and intend to return for a colour transformation with Jess, who I highly recommend!

I had my hair cut this morning by Abby and she has done a fab job! I am so pleased. She listened to what I wanted and did exactly that. It was so lovely and such a treat to get my hair washed (including a… little head massage), cut and then a lovely soft wavy blow dry to finish off. My hair smells amazing and is so soft. Abby was so friendly and easy to talk to. I felt totally at ease and I look forward to having my hair cut by Abby again. The salon is also really pretty, the way it is decorated. I would highly recommend Abby and Arena Creative Hair. Thank you x

Absolutely LOVED my experience at this salon today, i’ve never been before but I will definitely keep going from now on! The staff are super lovely and welcoming, and the salon has a fresh and relaxing vibe. Prices are perfect too as you’re paying for outstanding quality and precision! I usually feel very nervous when I get my hair coloured as I haven’t had many good experiences in a salon chair, but as soon as I met Chelsea I could tell she was going to do an amazing job and trusted her instinct!
I love my new look, thank you to everyone at Arena!! Xx
