  • "The most friendly and welcoming hairdressers I have ever been to."
  • "Fiona, Sophie and Chad are all amazing - always had a great haircut and blow dry."
  • "The girls have been amazing at restoring my colour after a mishap."
  • "Everyone member of staff are kind, caring and go out of their way to help anyone."

Cons:

  • "The quality of the work was ok but they offered to do a manicure during the pedicure my friend came in for, without explaining the pricing for the manicure."
  • "Just to add you agreed on the phone to me that it was the salons fault - hence reimbursing me. In addition I have never been spoken to so rudely by a salon on the phone."
  • "Your first point of contact with a salon is sometimes the receptionist who answers the phone. This one is rude."
  • "But my whole good mood was ruined by the receptionist at the checkout!"
  • "The workers at this dreadful place have no customer service skills at all!"
  • "It’s just not good customer service to add a fiver to a £23 bill without warning."
  • "Julia not only didn't answer my question, but she told me they are fully booked without even checking the system."

Salon Experience

Pros:

  • "The salon was a lovely atmosphere, staff very attentive."
  • "This is a First Class salon, whether you are visiting for Hair or Beauty: there is always a warm welcome from the Reception Team."
  • "The salon has a pleasant and luxurious atmosphere without being impersonal."
  • "The salon is always immaculately presented, making me feel relaxed and comfortable."
  • "The decor of the salon is chill and relax, always clean, fresh and so relaxing!"
  • "The salon was beautiful and the staff were very kind and professional."
  • "The salon is so clean - you NEVER feel like you are sitting in the previous customers nail clippings which is rare."

Cons:

  • "The only downside is that it's a bit expensive, but you do also get a better and more pampered experience."
  • "On the price list says perm starting from 99 pound, on the day they told me my hair will cost around 200-250!!!!"
  • "Elaje charged me a whooping £61! £61 for exactly what I pay £25 for! Am very dissatisfied with myself for allowing them to rip me off!"
  • "They charged me 25 pound for 8mins consultation, didn't even do a skin test."
  • "It’s a great 5star hair and beauty salon in my opinion which also means that all the services and products they offer are pretty expensive."
  • "Therefore, I thought the cost was overpriced when I paid about 70£ for cleaning, cutting and dry my hair in a style that it wasn't what I was looking for."
  • "The reason I’ve given it 4 stars and not 5 is because I felt that the place is slightly expensive."

Stylist Expertise

Pros:

  • "It was lovely to have met Alana- She took the time to explain to me different colour processings and variations- It was very clear that she was an experienced hairdresser with expertise and knowledge."
  • "Rebecca took the time to make my daughter feel at ease as she was very nervous about getting her ears pierced."
  • "Very happy with my hair cut today, Sarah was very thorough and I was given some good tips on how to condition and dry my hair."
  • "Professional and caring stylists look the time to really understand the look we were wanting to achieve."
  • "Sophie was very in depth with me about what I wanted, and did a beautiful cut."
  • "She listened intently to my brief and produced the most wonderful natural highlights."
  • "Professional and friendly service. My stylist was Alana and she is amazing."

Cons:

  • "I have spent £200 on getting a perm... £200 after I have no curls and my hair is so damaged I cannot even brush it."
  • "Normally, I get good results but not so professional stylist."
  • "Her style was very conservative comparing to what I was expecting."
  • "The worst haircut I've EVER had. In fact I had to go to another hairdressers 2 days later because the cut was so bad and just wouldn't settle."
  • "I needed to tell her several times to cut shorter and use other tools to make the look less blunt."
  • "The hairdresser there did not show compassion and I did not like the way she handled my hair care."
  • "I wanted to treat myself to a good haircut on my birthday and so I was ready to pay premium price to go for experienced hairdresser. The haircut looked good just until I washed my hair."
