If i could give you a 10000/10 I would do just that! The experience today has been fully reassuring we talked about my hair on and after the consultation date on appointment day for added reasurance! The process has been incredible with absolutely eveyone being so polite even if they arnt your stylist ☺️ keria was with me today I do apologise if I have spelled your name wrong queen! 😅 but she was incredible i went from hating my hair to falling in love with the new colours! They are flawless the hairstyle came out better than my wanted design I couldn't be happier with today's experience! 💗 I couldn't recommend a place more. And i was riddled with anxiety about my hairs natural state! ☺️

I have been looking for a new salon to try for ages, really glad I stumbled upon this on Instagram! So happy with my hair, the cut is exactly what I was after. Salon is clean and modern. Will be returning in Nov 🥰

Professional, Kind and Supportive I had worked in hospitality back in my home country, I was looking for a career change! I wasn’t disappointed, Gemma the head of the Academy was patient, professional, and supportive to everyone based on their needs. I did my NVQ level 2 and 3. I now want to do my Assessor's Award. Value for money is worth the training, however what can help you is to or apply for an apprenticeship in a salon to practice what you learn at the academy here, that will help a lot. At least it helped me. You can pay for fees as a one off or in instalments. The fact that AI is taking over white collar jobs, this training will help you, whether you want a part time job or starting your own salon business, especially if you are doing NVQ level 3, where you learn about salon management. I highly recommend this academy for all ages you will be comfortable and feel welcome. Mariana

Loved my visit to the strand and with maggie (hopefully I’ve remembered her name!) my hair was beautiful and I loved the subtle changes to change my hair up but not make it too drastic. She was very complimentary of my hair which was nice! Lovely chat and would rebook with her again !

One of the best hairdressers. She has an eye for detail and we felt listened to. Our hair cuts were so lovely and we are so happy! She has the patience of a saint, my daughter was constantly talking to her and she took the time to listen to her every time and let her be heard and listened to her what she wanted to do with her hair. My little girl wants to go back again. Thank you so much Maggi.

I couldnt be happier with my experience! My hairdresser Maggi really listened to what I wanted and delivered exactly that, if not better! Her attention to detail & skills were amazing! I almost fell asleep because the atmosphere was so calm & happy. I absolutely love my hair & I have rebooked my next appointment with Maggi. Highly recommend! Thankyou so much Maggi x

Holly is amazing, could not praise her enough. Starting from consultation to the end results. Had a bad colour from previous salons, she changed to natural bright blonde , using different techniques. Caring about the hair condition and the colour fading in the future. On top of that she is just a lovely lady to spend 5 hours in the chair with. Highly recommended, thank you very much you made me very happy.

Nicola was excellent, she provided recommendations for different products I could use, whilst explaining in detail their benefits to my hair specifically. The whole process was really enjoyable, and loved the end result!
