Beyond the Cut: Expertise Handling Sensitive Needs
Many reviews consistently praise Anna Simms, the hairdresser at The Colour Blue, for her remarkable skill and, crucially, her patience. This is particularly evident in the recurring testimonials from parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Sensory Processing Disorder. Parents describe Anna as a ‘miracle worker’ for tackling incredibly challenging haircuts—from untangling severely matted hair to providing a calming experience for anxious children.
One mother traveled two hours specifically for Anna to work her magic on her daughter’s long, curly, and matted hair. Another recounts how Anna was the fifth hairdresser to attempt a haircut for her daughter, Terri, who has a support worker, and achieved success that others couldn’t. The salon doesn’t just offer a service; it offers a solution and genuine peace of mind for families who often struggle to find understanding and capable professionals. It’s a testament to Anna’s skill that she not only completes the haircut but also empowers both the child and the parent.
"Anna took the time and care, to gently work though my daughters hair separating, brushing and combing her strands that are almost down to her backside... Anna was amazing." – A grateful mother.
Transforming Hair & Building Confidence
While The Colour Blue shines in its sensitive approach to specific needs, its general hairdressing skills are also highly lauded. Clients consistently use words like "amazing," "professional," and "knowledgeable" to describe Anna’s work. From vibrant colour transformations – including support for charitable events like The World’s Greatest Shave – to simply restoring dry, brittle hair to silky health, Anna demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of hair care.
Customers appreciate her dedication to education—Anna takes the time to explain styling techniques and recommend appropriate products, even for those who've neglected their hair for years! The value for money is consistently highlighted, with reports of affordable pricing and excellent results. The salon caters to all family members, making it a convenient and trusted choice for the entire household.
