Feedback is mixed. Long-term local clients describe warm, familiar staff and an enjoyable atmosphere for hair colouring and styling, with some praising a personal touch built up over years of visits and complimentary drinks offered during treatment. Others, including long-standing regulars, report that treatment quality and reception service have declined recently and that prices have risen, so check current pricing before booking.
