I love having my nails done by Emily. It’s my ‘me time’. Time to relax with coffee and a chat, and all the girls are so friendly.

They're brilliant with my 14yo daughter who loves coming here to get her hair cut!
Lilly always does an amazing job on my hair !! She will listen to what I want and then make suggestions around how to make it blend well and ensure it’s easier to maintain. Always a friendly and professional service! Cannot recommend enough.
Lilly does my extensions and highlights and the quality is consistently excellent. She has a great eye for color and blending & it always looks natural and grows out beautifully. Reliable, skilled, and easy to work with - highly recommend!
Sarah did a brilliant job on my lip filler carnt wait to get them done again and there amazing ❤️
Had my eyebrows done with Lilly, in love with them. Would highly recommend very clean salon and relaxing experience! Xx

First came here months ago for aesthetics and not only did my previous Botox treatment last the full 5 months, and still not really need topping up, I’d previously had a bad experience having my lips done (not here) and was so nervous but really wanted 1/2 ml - and Sara didn’t disappoint! I was comp...letely put at ease and the whole experience was hassle free, the numbing cream did its job and the results are perfect, I’m so happy! Professional, great results, an absolute find this place ⭐️ read more

My mum absolutely loved her makeover courtesy of this fab salon! The whole experience was very enjoyable and she's looking forward to returning for treatments in the future

3rd Visit 1st 2 were for Blow drys with Sophie (who has now left) Very pleased with the result both times then...... I won a complete Make over was picked out of there Facebook page I never win anything so was so happy and really was in need of a much needed makeover, Andi did my hair and Emily did...my Nails and make up The minute i walked into the Salon I felt so relaxed and looked after, I have been to the same hairdresser for years she comes to my house and to be honest i was getting to complacent with what i was having every time, Andi had a really good look at my hair colour face shape and hair type and we both decided for a complete change Jaquie also gave Andi some great advice which i know was appreciated the Result was a dramatic change I went out of the Salon with a massive smile on my face and 5 weeks on I am still really pleased with the result I am all booked in soon and am looking forward to my next pampering visit Thank you Michaels.....
