Customer Review Summary
Walk in convenience is the recurring draw, reviewers repeatedly praise being able to get a cut without booking and describe stylists as friendly and welcoming across multiple visits. Several single out the gents cut, one noting it cost £12, and others mention the salon's habit of offering a drink while waiting, including a cuppa and a hot chocolate for a child. One reviewer describes a stylist rescuing a cut that had been "butchered" elsewhere, and another names a hairdresser who did a good job after being genuinely listened to. Against this, a serious complaint stands out: one reviewer reports paying £158 for highlights that turned yellow with no patch test done, and rude treatment when raising it with staff and a manager. A second reviewer describes an owner swearing and making derogatory comments about women during a children's haircut. Most reviews, though, describe returning every five to six weeks without disappointment.

“I’d never been here before but so glad I tried it. They were friendly, attentive and didn’t rush my cut (unlike my usual place)- my hair looked fabulous and felt really soft after. The hairdresser was so sweet (young girl) & did a brilliant job. 👍🏼🪮 …”

“Took my kids in for a cut, the man in there, I’m assuming was the owner, was swearing, making derogatory comments about women, made us wait for my sons hair to be cut because it wasn’t worth his while. …”

“Fantastic salon! Lovely staff who really listen and take care over your hair. I came in straight after my hair had been completely butchered by another salon in the area that same day. I thought my short hair was beyond repair due to the lack of care given by the previous salon down the road but the hairdresser at Walk In transformed my hair into a lovely cut and style. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was looking great and that I felt confident.I will definitely be using this salon again , can’t recommend highly enough: The owner was really accommodating and he really cared about doing a great job. He even gave my daughter a cup of hot chocolate while she waited for me to get my hair done.Thank you all so much!”

“They never fail. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, they advise you but also make sure you're comfortable telling them about what you'd like. And the man makes a banging cuppa :)”
