Customer Review Summary
Highlights come up again and again as the main draw, with several describing full heads of foils or a "money piece" retouch that left hair looking healthy and not brassy, even on curly or dark hair that reviewers say other salons struggle with. Close behind, regulars praise the hair extensions, describing thin, dull hair turned thick and full after re-input sessions, and a few mention trying the K18 treatment as a step up from Olaplex for softness and shine. The front desk welcome, complete with tea and on one occasion a jammy donut, and the sunbeds also get repeat mentions from loyal customers who say they wouldn't go anywhere else. One reviewer, though, reports a different experience: after a "money piece" top-up and four to five highlights, they were charged a half-head price of £63 and left with ginger tones and bleach-damaged hair, saying the front desk overcharged them relative to a friend's full head of highlights elsewhere. Most others describe leaving happy, with one reviewer's daughter "beaming" after her highlights were finished.

“Kiera was nice I but have got some ginger tones running through my highlights and my hair is bleach damaged from it. I had my money piece retopped up and 4/5 highlights on bottom section of under hair and dry for £63.00. Due to the awful job done and the price I’m not fully happy at all. I rang and said I think they have over charged me as my friend had a full set of head highlights and blow dry / toner etc for £70 and Kiera said I had 4 strands of highlights and the man on the front desk still charged me for a half head which I think is unreasonable. Kiera was lovely though and pleasant but just would not recommend.”

“Would never go to anyone but Kiera to do my hair. Been going here for years and shes the best. Really enjoy my hair appointments and have a good catch up and a laugh. Aaron is brilliant always there to help and never fails to make me laugh.”

“I didn’t catch the name of the girl who colored my hair, but she was so lovely and gave me exactly what I wanted! Emily washed and curled my hair, and the curls lasted so long. I absolutely love my hair and had a great chat with everyone. Thanks so much, guys! 💗”

“I would highly reccomend this salon as my experience was very positive. Kiera was absolutely amazing! She listened to my request & did a great job doing my full head of high-quality highlights. I was nervous at first as my hair usually goes brassy but Kiera was really professional & made my hair beautiful & not brassy at all. My hair is really curly & dark & usually no one wants to deal with it. But Kiera's patience & professional attention made me super happy. I finally found a hairdresser I can trust and I will never go anywhere else. Thank you Kiera! (See Before & After photos)”

“Had some me time yesterday and had my hair done at the sun lounge. I’m always looked after from the time you book in at reception with Aaron. I was seated and gowned straight away. My fabulous hairdresser Emma discussed what I wanted doing today as I’m a regular customer and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I had a full head of foils with a treatment too always the best products used. Emma worked her magic as always and I left very very happy. I also tested there new intensive treatment K18 my hair feels so soft and shiny and I would definitely ask for that again as it’s meant be better than olaplex which they also use in the salon. I have either Emma or Kiera both great hairdressers. Aaron makes great tea and I also was gifted a jammy donut. They are a lovely team make me feel welcome and I love having a catch up. I would recommend and have to my friends who also have Kiera do their hair. The prices are very reasonable for the service and end result you get you wouldn’t get the same service and quality any where else. Appreciate the profession these small business work very very hard everyone needs a good hairdresser.”
