I've been Zahra's client since late 2018 (minus approx 1 year due to lockdown) and I highly recommend her. She's a good listener, puts no pressure on you and confirms decisions with you before cutting. She's very kind. I always feel relaxed there. She has never cancelled and has never been late. I just went back for my first post-lockdown haircut. She is very considerate of guidelines, wears a mask and shield and I noticed she wipes down between clients. I would highly recommend! Also worth noting that I've openly talked about being in the LGBTQ+ community and Zahra is an obvious ally. If you are

Zahra is great she does exactly what you ask for. I have been seeing her now for just over a year. During covid she has a very efficient system in place of one in one out and all precautions are taken. Excellent.

Had a fab haircut here recently - I couldn't have asked for better. The lady was friendly, wore a mask and visor, and has just one appointment in the salon at a time.
I had a wet cut and we had a chat before she started about what I was looking for. After a first trim she let me see how short my hair was before asking if I wanted to go any shorter. Really happy, I'll definitely be back.

I Live in Perth Australia and I always come to Zahra to get my hair done when I am back in the UK visiting. She is the most beautiful soul and an absolutely brilliant hairdresser. So yes, happy to travel halfway round the world to have an appointment with her.

Having recently relocated to the area, I initially chose this salon due to the close proximity to my home, and I am glad I did! I have been pleased with my haircuts and color. Zahra is friendly and an excellent hairdresser. Highly recommend - you won't be disappointed.

Zahra has a way of cutting my hair which means it grows beautifully. This is why I travel back to her salon whenever I need a cut, even though I now live nearly an hour away. She has been my hairdresser since the early 1990s. She is a lovely cheerful person that really makes time for her customers and makes them feel welcome. Fully recommend.
