Everyone at the salon was very nice. Unfortunately I don’t think I received expert advice . I made it clear that I really wanted an easy hairstyle that I could easily manage on my own but I was told that I have complicated hair and it will never be easy. Although my hair looked super cute when I left the salon, I was unable to duplicate the results from my “curly clinic” experience. Also, the products that were recommended and I purchased (for a LOT of money) turned out to be the opposite of what I needed. I have super coarse and thick hair and the recommended products were for “fine, thin or limp hair” (I didn’t read the bottles until I got home). I switched back to my other products and directed my husband on how I wanted my hair cut, and now I am enjoying my hair for the first time. I traveled quite a distance based on what I saw on Instagram and was very excited to have Nuala style my hair, however I’m sorry to say that I cannot recommend this salon.

Pros: Lovely stylist, knowledgeable about hair, products and curls. Friendly staff who smile when you walk past. Cons: First of all I had to wait 45 minutes before I was seen. Obviously with everything going on I don’t mind a degree of leniency but no one told me my stylist running late or how long she would be, I had to ask after waiting 20 minutes and got a generic ‘she’ll be with you soon’ response. I had high hopes and specifically drove from London (5hour round trip) to get the ‘Nuala’ finish, namely defined, shiny, uniform waves which is something I’ve always struggled with. Unfortunately I received a very average finish that was neither shiny nor uniform. To reiterate, the cut is gorgeous and the stylist really listened to what I wanted but the diffusing was done by two other girls who sat there in silence just holding the diffuser, no asking what I wanted (volume/definition etc) and instead clearly just wanted to get the job done. Finally, I paid for an all over black colour and was quoted one price over the phone and charged more at the salon which is my pet peeve. I appreciate the receptionist was unsure which service I would need (it was for the stylist to decide) but I should have been quoted the higher price when I asked her to confirm that I wouldn’t be charged any more. I had zoned out when getting my colour done so I asked the other stylist who cut my hair which dye had been used (perm or semi) but she didn’t know. I assume it was semi as just 10 days later I can already see hints of auburn coming through. I’m really unhappy about this as I usually dye my hair at home (black all over colour can’t really go wrong) but I wanted to pay more for salon quality and longevity. I feel I should have been asked or at least told what dye was being used so I could explain what I wanted.

I thought the staff were very professional, especially the lovely lady with the purple hair who greeted me and gave me a neck massage. The lady who did my hair wasn’t very chatty but she was friendly enough. Unfortunately I wasn’t happy with the end result of my hair. I was so excited and spoke with the lady doing my hair and explained i wanted to keep as much length as possible, I was willing to cut my hair just above my shoulders. I left the salon with hair at my ears and it has crushed my confidence. My curls look nice but it just wasn’t what I asked for at all. I’m upset that i’ve spent £75 and not happy with the result and It will take more or less a year to grow my hair to its past length.

Been told I was booked in with Georgia but actually given someone else when arrived. Wasn’t as pleased with the quality of service this time. Appreciate that it is busy at the moment but would have been nice to be told in advance. Cut lovely, but did feel that I was being listened to fully. The end result was not what I was expecting and dried differently to how had been done before. Hair did not look as good as previous visits.

I found this Salon on Instagram and instantly got excited as I had never had a proper curly haircut. Prices were high but so were my expectations. I booked a “fine hair cut and style with anyone”. I know my hair is very fine and almost have no quantity of it but I got a haircut that wasn’t actually what I asked for. My hair was cut (by me, years ago) in a straight way and I wanted a more rounder style to create the ilusión of more volume. When I saw the final result I wasn’t very surprised but I’m that kind of person that doesn’t know how to tell a hairdresser that they don’t like the job they did, so I left the salon having said to them I like it. When I got home and I took a photo from the back, I saw that the cut was nothing like what I wanted. It looks straight from the sides then ends pointy… something weird. Maybe it was just how the hair was sitting, I don’t know. I blame myself for not saying the truth while I was there but having paid such a high amount, I wish I’d like how the cut turned out. Don’t do like me and speak out if you do not like the result you got.

I can’t fault my stylist as I’m delighted both with the cut and colour. On this visit, however, I didn’t feel the service / atmosphere lived up to the price tag.
