“We are so thankful.”

The salon was opened by Warren and James in November 2021, with the couple’s mission to “make everyone leave feeling and looking 100 per cent”.

It is described as a ‘genderless hairdressers’ which offers a personal and inclusive service for everyone.

The salon has a modern and chic design, and all clients are welcomed in with a smile.
