Stylists Who Truly Listen: A Chorus of Praise
The consistent theme running through reviews of Salon HER is the exceptional skill and care of its stylists. Clients repeatedly highlight how their stylists listened and understood their vision, going above and beyond to deliver outstanding results. Isabella is singled out for her precision and passion, leaving clients feeling amazing even with minimal initial expectations. James receives accolades for a fantastic blunt bob cut and blow-dry, exceeding expectations and prompting a follow-up appointment for colour services. Michael is a long-standing favourite, consistently maintaining clients’ hair through various styles and lengths with unwavering trust.
Beyond individual praise, there’s a clear sense that the entire team is exceptionally talented. Britt, Clodagh, Tracy and Rohanna all get glowing mentions, demonstrating a high standard of skill across the salon. One client, a ten-year veteran of Salon HER, commented that Michael’s recent work felt even better than before, supported by the skillful first assistance of Morgan. It’s this demonstrable commitment to continuous improvement and client satisfaction that truly sets Salon HER apart.
Colour Transformations & Precision Cuts: The Art of Hairdressing
Salon HER excels in both colour and cutting services. Testimonials repeatedly describe stunning transformations, particularly in colour work. Michael is repeatedly praised for his ability to add dimension and beautifully blended blonde tones, while Rohanna's attentiveness to client concerns and resulting colour is deemed "stunning." Clients aren't just getting colour; they’re getting a tailored experience, with stylists understanding each individual’s needs and achieving a natural, lived-in look.
Precise cuts are another area of expertise. From classic bobs, expertly executed by James and Clodagh, to evolving styles maintained over a decade by Michael, the salon consistently delivers results that enhance each client’s features. Clients notice and appreciate the attention to detail, leaving them feeling “a million bucks” and looking their absolute best. Clients mention the accurate interpretation of requests – moving away from coming in with ‘minimal expectation’ and leaving feeling better than imagined.
Beyond the Hair: Little Touches That Make a Big Difference
Salon HER understands that a truly exceptional experience extends beyond the technical skill of the stylists. The small details contribute to an overall sense of luxury and relaxation. Clients appreciate the provision of beverages – a "cute little bev" or a glass of wine – adding a touch of indulgence to their appointment. The salon environment itself is described as “divine,” “gorgeous,” and a “mini holiday,” thanks to its carefully curated fit-out.
And then there’s Buddy, the lovable sausage dog, who provides much-needed pup cuddles and adds to the salon's welcoming atmosphere. While the salon may not have Wi-Fi, the experience is clearly engaging enough that it isn’t missed. The price point may be slightly higher than some, but clients unanimously agree that the quality of service and overall experience are well worth the investment.
