The Artistry of Blayde, Alice & Amy: Client Transformations
The team at Northern Roots receives consistent praise for their skill and dedication. Blayde, in particular, is repeatedly highlighted for their expertise, especially with hair extensions. Clients rave about seamless colour matching, quick and painless processes, and the sheer number of compliments they receive post-appointment. One thrilled client described achieving their “mermaid hair” after a Blayde extension appointment!
However, the talent doesn’t stop there. Alice’s expertise in colour and layering, particularly with curly hair, is consistently mentioned. One client shared, “Alice coloured my hair light blonde, added layers and blow dried my hair…The colour and tone was perfect and exactly what I was after.”
Amy also inspires a strong following, celebrated for her knowledge and ability to make clients feel comfortable, especially those with challenging hair types. Specifically, Amy shines with curly haired clients, with several mentioning needing years to find a hairdresser they trusted with their curls.
Here’s a condensed breakdown of skills clients praise:
Hairdresser | Speciality | Client Feedback Highlights |
---|---|---|
Blayde | Extensions, Cutting, Styling | Seamless results, quick & painless, numerous compliments |

Beyond the Hair: A Focus on Client Wellbeing
What consistently appears in reviews isn’t just exceptional hair styling, but a holistic client experience. Northern Roots understands that visiting a salon can be stressful for some, and they actively work to create a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. Many reviewers mention feeling “comfortable” and “at ease”, highlighting the team’s welcoming and accommodating nature.
Small details don't go unnoticed either. The provision of beverages (coffee and popcorn were specifically mentioned!) and a generally chilled-out vibe contribute to a sense of pampering and care. This attention to detail extends to offering solutions for specific needs, for example, Amy’s ability to cater to clients with toner allergies and provide a wealth of options. This isn't just about hair; it’s about genuinely caring for their clients' wellbeing.
