No words to describe how amazing Martin and Michael made my daughters (and me!) feel. We had THE BEST experience in the salon as my 15 year old got her natural looking balayage and my 13 year old got her blue highlights.I was a client of theirs over 15 years ago but moved away so I travelled over 4.5 hours to ensure my girls got the best of the best. I would never let anyone else colour mine or my daughters brunette hair.My 13 year old has Down syndrome and she was welcomed with open arms and made to feel at ease in their salon - this means so much to families like ours who have kids that aren?t always welcomed - most salons don?t know how to react to children with learning difficulties. Martin and Michael went above and beyond to make everything perfect.Both of my daughters were spoilt rotten and can?t stop talking about their experience.I will be back with my youngest daughter too, when she is older.Thank you both for the most incredible experience ??Services: Kids' cuts

I can honestly say Martin is the most talented hairdresser that I have ever had the privilege to do my hair. I was struggling to find the perfect blonde and just before my wedding, I was having a hair nightmare. Martin, being the kind person he is completely fixed that for me. My hair has never looked better- the compliments I receive is incredible. The best hairdresser in the most beautiful salon, not also forgetting Michael and the gorgeous doggies too. So happy to have found you all xxService: Hairstyling

I have been going to Martin for the last few months. My hair wasn?t in the best condition when we first met . Martin initially gave me a free consultation and I have subsequently been to him since. He advised me on products to use and how to help my damaged hair. I love going to see him, the ambience in the salon is amazing, you are treated like a princess and you also get a fantastic cut and colour ?Services: Hair coloring

I have been searching for a salon like Martin James forever! Did sassoon, Toni an Guy etc in my earlier days and always left like they thought I should look. I usually hated it. Martin listens and then adds his magic! Through illness I have had issues with my hair, but Martin has treated and managed and styled my hair and I now feel like a million dollars! It really is our crowning glory and Martin has given me back my confidence. The place is a total oasis and I recommend it wholeheartedly! P.s Martin and Michael are amazing, kind and loyal! Anyone who says other wise is simply a troll?Services: Hair coloring

This place is fabulous! Martin and Michael are both so welcoming and professional. I was a total convert from the moment Martin so effectively and skillfully corrected an issue from another salon. He also took time to listen to my teen and ease her beyond her comfort zone giving her the cut she had dreamed of but had never been brave enough to ask for! The smile on her face was simply priceless.Services: Bang trim

I was lucky enough to get an appointment due to my stepmum and sister using the salon and I am so pleased . From the moment you arrive you are greeted with the warmest welcome and glass of something chilled and that is just the start of the 5* treatment. Fabulous colour, cut and chat. Would highly recommend.Services: Hairstyling
