Ellie was really great. She always knows exactly what I mean when I describe what I'd like done and I've been really happy with my cut and colour. Thanks Ellie!

She specialises in creative cutting and styling.

Priscilla joined us in 2014 -one of the great team players in the salon. She has worked in salons since the age of 14. The knowledge and experience that she has gained over those years have grown in to an admirable repertoire of skills that includes cutting, styling, colouring and creative up-dos.
Priscilla loves being creative, and takes the time and care to really listen to her client, to find out what they want to achieve –She then makes it happen!
