    Great salon. Had a great blow dry with Alex. Very reasonable prices.

    I’ve never had a bad experience in all the years I’ve been going here. All the staff are so friendly every time without fail. Alex is my stylist, he absolutely goes above and beyond each and every time. All the different things I’ve wanted to do with my hair is normally a brief description followed by ‘but I’m not sure, just do your thing, I trust you’ and he always gets it right. Even years back I told him that an old school wet shave would be awesome, I come back a month or two later and he’s fully qualified in wet shaves and has it ready to go. Top service from all, couldn’t thank them all enough, especially Alex.
