I came in for a much needed reboot on my hair last week. The cut was great and the new colour is amazing. Went with a balayage at their suggestion and the results are fantastic! They matched and blended with my original colour so well. Will definitely be back!

It's a great salon with a great team, I recommend it 100%. My hair was done by Emi, who was simply adorable and gave me the result I came for! There was one tiny problem, a few hairs were sticking out a little at the back but nothing dramatic and as soon as the salon was aware of the situation they did everything they could to take care of me as quickly as possible to rectify this slight thing! I'm really pleased with the result , thank you all!

What a wonderful Salon… and I have gone to Adrianne , Mary , Chelsey , Niamh, it really doesn’t matter which of these ladies that looks after you are guaranteed a friendly ear, top class hairdressing and the salon is always spotless clean ! I can not recommend enough!! On my last appointment I was recommended some wow products and I have since had so many compliments on my hair!! What I like most is there is never an atmosphere like you get in some salons and the girls seem to have each others backs really nice to see and adds to warm vibe ! Keep it up ladies ❤️

I used to go to this hairdresser over the years but over the past year or so it's changed. I recently got my haircut there and from the moment I walked in I felt unwelcomed. I was the only one in the salon along with one hairdresser. While she washed my hair another client walked in and had a full on consultation with the hairdresser the entire time she was washing my hair. My hair was rushed and still had shampoo residue left in. Then when it came to getting my hair cut I verbally told the hairdresser what I wanted, along with physically point to length of where I wanted my hair cut up to - which was under my shoulder. I also showed some reference photos. The hairdresser quickly said she understood and began cutting my hair. I expressed again that I wanted to keep length and again pointed to where I wanted it cut up to so she knew. After a few moments I noticed my hair was cut much shorter than I asked. She proceeded to tell me it'll be under my shoulder when she's finished. I trusted her and she continued cutting my hair. After a few moments I noticed more of my hair was gone. There was no way it was going to be below my shoulder and I got upset. She had cut my hair up to just under my chin which is a far cry from what I clearly asked for. I had gone in with very long hair and told her I wanted to keep some length, I mentioned this a few times to make sure she understood but clearly she wasn't bothered and did her own thing. I expressed it wasn't what I asked for. She then started telling me how healthy my hair is and loved my hair colour and all that as a distraction tactic because she knew she messed up. I just started to cry. Before leaving she then had the nerve to ask me to pay full price for something I didn't ask for. Through all my upset and being overwhelmed I stupidly paid half but immediately regretted it and contacted the manager later asking for a refund. To add salt to the wound the manager gave a half arsed 'apology'. She mentioned she didn't know what went on but would speak to the hairdresser. She came back to me soon after and said the hairdresser said I was looking for "a big change" and "looking to lose the length" none of which I had ever said. This angered and upset me more. I told her that was lies and then she back tracked saying she may have taken the hairdresser up wrong. So instead of actually finding out what happened and listening to what I had told her she went on a whim and made up something to cover themselves and blame me, further adding to my upset. I asked for a refund and when it came to giving me that even then there were issues. There was some back and forth and issues with processing my refund. I was blamed for the issues regarding the refund not processing. I was thorough with sending my details so knew it wasn't on my end. Instead of them checking on their end they continue to suggest the issue is my fault and the manager sent me a screenshot of their attempts to send me the refund. When they did the first thing I noticed was they didn't include all the numbers from my bank details. This is normally the first thing people check but it was easier for them to blame me again for their mistake instead of double checking. Mistakes happen but there's no excuse for bad attitudes especially when they're in the wrong. It was just another reflection at their lack of attention to detail, lack of accountability and lack of care towards clients. They seemed more preoccupied with themselves and more bothered by the thoughts of a bad review. They told me how great they were and how supposedly they've never had any issues before etc etc, completely dismissing the fact that they did in fact have an issue that left me extremely upset in more ways than one. My experience and how they handled the entire situation was really shitty. I never experienced anything like it with a salon before. It could have been avoided. I left in tears, with my hair greasy and much shorter than what I clearly had asked. I'm really disappointed. I won't be returning and won't be recommending to others.

Got a last minute appt and needed a full color correction. Many hours and hard work went into my appt and my hair turned out amazing! Just what I wanted. Mary did such a great job as well as Chelsea and they were both very friendly and made the long appt comfortable. Would definitely go here again! Highly recommend!!
