I arrived on time and was asked to wait half-an-hour because the client before me had not arrived on time - unprofessional. I asked for a soft layered cut. I came out with a blunt cut, one layer across the back and the remainder virtually straight. I did a better job myself during the pandemic. I will never go there again, and never recommend

Had a complete restyle with Alana today, lovely lady, great service and very welcoming! My hair ended up being a lot shorter than I thought I wanted, but I actually love it! Thank you x

As an existing customer I am truly appreciative of Kirsty, and the wider Team efforts, to get us back to our regular appointments. I love my regular visit but to be fair, my cut held pretty strong (all things… considered) throughout the original lockdown - all thanks to my superb stylist! In addition, I felt confident that my self styled fringe trims could easily be recovered! I’m so grateful for all you are doing to give us the experience we love whilst balancing safety during these strange times. Thank goodness too for booking through to December. Well done and looking forward to

Fantastic experience at Number 8 👍 very safe, fantastic and relaxing hair wash and massage (😍) Kat listened carefully to what I wanted to achieve and took it to another level! So so pleased with the cut and have found my style at last! Was so impressed I’ve booked all my appointments to the end of the year 👌

Only when I got home did I realise what had happened to my hair. Had a relaxing experience while it was being cut but didn’t pay attention to the actual cut! I now look like a man with shaved sides and not much on top! Have cried so much since I got home. Showed photos of my pixie cut and got a GI Joe! Very upset! Will not go back to complain as the damage is done now. Very disappointing!

I just wanted to drop a note to let the fabulous Kat know how much I love her. My hair is sleek and classy, I am so happy with today’s cut (as well). Thanks for showing me the way out of the ‘emo’ hair and knowing / getting what suits my face 💗!

Lovely haircut as usual. Everything feels very safe (who thought we’d have to worry about feeling safe everywhere!?). Highly recommend.

We have just moved so a new hairdresser was paramount to me and I picked the best luckily. Hit the jackpot .
From the day I walked in to book and met the most charming lovely girl who did my patch test to… lovely Ashley doing full colour, highlights and a cut ...it was a beautiful experience.
Made to feel very at ease and reassured and enjoyed every minute of being pampered.
Love my hair .... thank you so much to my new hairdressers .

I can't thank the ladies enough for giving me such a wonderful hair experience. I was in there for a while and the ladies made my little boy so welcome (I've been to other places where they just don't like kids) and gave him Peppa pig to watch and biscuits and juice. Even played with him while I was being seen too. The ladies are so down to earth and make you feel welcome. Can't fault this place and the best part, I've come out with lush curls again with a beautiful cut too! Thank you!
