I had a wonderful experience getting my hair and make-up done by Rachael and Nelly for my wedding in September 2021! They were both very professional and friendly during the trials and helped me choose a style that fits my personality. Rachael was very understanding and flexible with some last minute changes, caused by the pandemic. I couldn't have been in better company on the morning of the wedding - both made me feel at ease and everything was on time. When my makeover was finished I felt beautiful and ready to meet my groom and our guests! I would strongly recommend the salon to anyone for

A brilliant hair salon, I've been going here for around 10 years and would not go anywhere else. Vicky has a real talent both as a hairdresser and someone who can listen and is genuinely a lovely person.
She always does a fantastic job and trust her 100% with my hair and has never left feeling like I want to wear a hat or hide away whilst my hair grows back! She's also fantastic at incorporating colours into my hair.
Even my boyfriend now goes to the barbers where Lee cuts his hair and finds it to be a much more styles cut compared to other places he's been to in the past.

I often get bored of my hairstyle and usually am either in a state of cutting it all off, growing it all out or changing it to some unnatural shade. Becca has always been incredibly accommodating to my requests and works with me in offering helpful suggestions on how to transition between cuts and colours. Additionally, all the ladies in the shop are incredibly kind to me and my little one who has come with me on visits since she was teeny but now that she is getting a bit bigger, they will often help to keep her entertained as required and always have a kind word and smile for her.

So spent Yesterday in the new male shop next door, had a fantastic time, welcomed straight away, the staff are friendly, they work as a great team. not only did a great job on my hair but entertained both me and my partner all afternoon with feel good vibes and excellent showmanship. Bravo team strand. Coming back next week! Not because there's anything wrong but because now I got a taste for the shop I can't stay away! Thanks guys ps my stylist Fraser, kudos to you, stayed after the store closed to go that one step further in service. Amazing also guest star appearance by an Ed Sheran impersonator
