  “I’ve been going to Lucy for a few years now, and I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair. She gets the colour perfect every single time—she just knows exactly what will work. Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she also really listens and takes the time to understand what I want. The results are always natural, flattering, and beautifully done. I constantly get compliments on my hair, and it’s all down to her talent. Thank you!”

  “I’m so glad I found this hair salon last year! Ellie who does my colour has got me to the perfect shade of blonde with a natural root fade and my hair has never been in such good condition before. It’s soft and healthy and well looked after she is the best! Xx”

  “I’ve been going to Ellie at Daniel Galvin for nearly 5 years now and I genuinely wouldn’t go anywhere else. I have long, thick blonde hair, and she always takes the time to really listen to what I want and works so carefully to achieve the most beautiful, seamless creamy blonde every time. It’s such a lovely experience whenever I visit - I completely trust her. I always leave feeling so happy with the result and couldn’t recommend her more highly!!”

  “My mother-in-law recommended that I see Richard at Daniel Galvin for a haircut, as she has been his client for over 20 years. As a new client, I was also looking for a colourist who could help me achieve the blonde I had been searching for. …”

  “I have been travelling an 8-hour round trip every 6–8 weeks for over 15 years to maintain my highlights with Ellie, a colourist at Daniel Galvin. Quite simply, I would not trust anyone else. Her work is in a completely different league. The precision with which she places each individual strand is extraordinary—this is not the commonly seen, heavy-handed, painted-on “stripe” effect that so many salons produce. Those methods often result in what looks like a full head colour, weakening the hair and lacking true longevity. I wouldn’t even consider them real highlights. Ellie’s approach is rooted in authentic, traditional technique—delicate, intentional placement that enhances the hair naturally, exactly as highlights were originally meant to be. “Her highlights don’t grow out—they evolve.” No harsh lines. No obvious regrowth. Just a seamless, natural blend that looks as beautiful weeks later as it does on the day it’s done. She carefully considers how you wear your hair day to day, ensuring every placement works with your natural movement and parting. The result is luminous dimension that mimics how sunlight would naturally lift the hair. Her understanding of tone is exceptional. There are no unwanted yellow, green, orange, or overly white hues—so there’s no need for harsh corrective toners. She gets the colour right from the start. Even when your hair is wet and freshly rinsed, you can see the clarity and balance of the result, which speaks volumes about her technical mastery. This level of artistry comes from her training—Ellie apprenticed one-on-one with Daniel Galvin himself and has mastered his original “brickwork” highlighting technique, made famous during the Swinging Sixties and iconic Twiggy era. Before finding Ellie, I experienced numerous disappointing colour treatments—thick, stripe-like highlights and damaging over-toning. On one occasion, a local salon applied three toners in a single week, leaving my hair so compromised it stopped growing. Since being in Ellie’s care, I have never had to worry about another negative experience. There is complete trust and confidence every time my hair is revealed. Her work is not just colouring—it’s true artistry. Natural, refined, and enduring. Nothing else compares.”
