I came here a while ago to have my roots touched up and left with stripes and breakage to my hair. I had my roots done and went back in a couple days later to have some warmth put into it with a toner as it was a bit too ashy for me. In that process all my face framing hair snapped off, I was left with my hair sticking straight up to the sky ( for at least 3 months), obvious to my friends who couldn’t help but stare at my hair when they were talking me, I laughed it off but it has gotten to the point where I am afraid to go to any hair salon. I trusted this place as they had done great jobs before. I’m not sure what happened whether they were rushed with the stripes left in my hair or a muck up with my foils but the breakage I feel could have been avoided. I know there is a risk with bleaching hair but if I was told this could burn off my hair then maybe I wouldn’t have done it. I felt bad to message again when I realised the stripes in my hair, she offered to fix it again but there was no apology or sympathy, and with the breakage that had already happened I didn’t want to risk more. I think I just feel bummed, trying to find somewhere now I go through all the reviews and am hesitant to book. I just think if people know or the business knows it could be avoided in the future.
I have been hesitant to write this but due to still feeling so worried about my hair I have decided to leave this review for future clients or as some constructive advice. The staff are lovely and the place is gorgeous I have loved my hair in the past I am just bummed about my last time.

What a God send.
So happy with Mike & his team.
I had a very bad color done at another salon the day b4 & a friend recommended GM.
They were helpful on the phone & I nipped in 4 a quick consult b4 they closed. Mike managed to fit me in the next day!
Mike & all his staff were lovely & friendly, even allowing dogs in the salon.
They did a fantastic job & after a long complicated process got my hair exactly the color I'd wanted it & in good condition considering the bleaching.
The salon itself is big & nicely designed. I loved the plants over the basins & the huge round mirrors at the stations. Great drinks selection & things to read.
I will definitely be back & recommending to my friends.

Atmosphere, friendly service and great hairstylist.
I tell everyone about this salon! They are super talented at what they do, with a lush atmosphere to make you feel really pampered while you get your hair done and have a coffee.
They saved my hair from a disaster at another place and I’ve never left since, they get to know you so you feel like a friend and I before this I found it really hard to feel comfortable in salons where they would talk to you and feel welcoming.
If you’re looking for a new salon then this place is the place to go!

I visited this place cuz I found their website and instagram. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the haircut and color. I liked the vibes of the place, services, people, and Mike, he advised me exactly how I expected from the hairdresser. Thank you so much:)
