I love visiting Shareefa! This has been my third nano keratin treatment with her and every time I’ve been so happy with the results. She absolutely transforms my hair so that it is manageable both curly and straight, my hair feels soft and healthy and I’m also very happy with the style. Thank you!

Apologies for the late feedback. I recently had my hair done on the 28th August after a 10 month gap due to the covid lockdown and life in general. I have Afro hair and had been previously treated with the Nanokeratin Refortify treatment and was getting it again. Coming from a person who’s had texturised and relaxed hair treatments for 20 years this product had made a huge difference and I won’t be going back.
I have noticed how my scalp feels while the treatment is happening and the after effects too. Not only does my hair feel stronger but the lasting effects are great. I have the mixed

Exceptional!! My experience from start to finish was so personalised. I have never before experienced a bespoke service, it’s totally unique. Shareefa spent time discussing colour and cut options, her knowledge is second to none! Her creative flair is expressed through her work. The result is outstanding!!!

I feel very lucky to have discovered Cognito. Such a friendly professional salon. Shareefa expertly assessed my hair and her colour and cut suggestions have meant I’ve had the best result in hair colouring and styling ever, suited to my skin tone. Will be a regular client going forward.

Bella was excellent today! It was clear that she was passionate about her job in the way she styled my hair after it had been cut, listening to my likes and working above what she needed to do. She was very attentive making sure I was comfortable and happy with every stage.
Also one of the best head massages I’ve had!

Always such a wonderful experience going to this salon... friendly, competent, professional, sustainable with beautiful & relaxing decor. What more could you ask for? The first salon that ever cared about my hair goals. I have the NanoPure smoother & a cut typically & has really made a huge difference to my hair - easier to manage, nice & long & healthy now with no frizz. Well done to the whole team.

Cognito is a very friendly and welcoming environment and the personal attention Shareefa gives to you is second to none. She listens to what you want, provides expert advice and gave me one of the best cut and colours I’ve ever had. I usually go to a friend or my sister but they were busy and I’m always anxious trying anywhere new. I was so pleased with my hair that I’ll definitely be booking again!

Sometimes trusting a hairdresser's suggestions to be the best option for you can be a challenge. But trusting Shareefa's recommendations are easy and she knows what is best for hair. I've only ever had Shareefa tend to my hair for stylish cuts and precise colours. She's amazing and talented, 19 years of experience should tell you all you need to know! Herself and Daniella have a beautiful salon, clean and modern and I shall be returning!
