I came here a while ago to have my roots touched up and left with stripes and breakage to my hair. I had my roots done and went back in a couple days later to have some warmth put into it with a toner as it was a bit too ashy for me. In that process all my face framing hair snapped off, I was left with my hair sticking straight up to the sky ( for at least 3 months), obvious to my friends who couldnβt help but stare at my hair when they were talking me, I laughed it off but it has gotten to the point where I am afraid to go to any hair salon. I trusted this place as they had done great jobs before. Iβm not sure what happened whether they were rushed with the stripes left in my hair or a muck up with my foils but the breakage I feel could have been avoided. I know there is a risk with bleaching hair but if I was told this could burn off my hair then maybe I wouldnβt have done it. I felt bad to message again when I realised the stripes in my hair, she offered to fix it again but there was no apology or sympathy, and with the breakage that had already happened I didnβt want to risk more. I think I just feel bummed, trying to find somewhere now I go through all the reviews and am hesitant to book. I just think if people know or the business knows it could be avoided in the future. I have been hesitant to write this but due to still feeling so worried about my hair I have decided to leave this review for future clients or as some constructive advice. The staff are lovely and the place is gorgeous I have loved my hair in the past I am just bummed about my last time.

I visited this place cuz I found their website and instagram. I couldnβt be more satisfied with the haircut and color. I liked the vibes of the place, services, people, and Mike, he advised me exactly how I expected from the hairdresser. Thank you so much:)

Atmosphere, friendly service and great hairstylist. I tell everyone about this salon! They are super talented at what they do, with a lush atmosphere to make you feel really pampered while you get your hair done and have a coffee. They saved my hair from a disaster at another place and Iβve never left since, they get to know you so you feel like a friend and I before this I found it really hard to feel comfortable in salons where they would talk to you and feel welcoming. If youβre looking for a new salon then this place is the place to go!

Best hair studio Iβve been to! Lovely staff and incredible stylists- highly recommended magic hands markβs shampoo sessions it really tantalises the dome (ask for magic marc) - jokes aside, beautiful atmosphere and the kind of place that makes you wish your hair grew faster so you could come in all the time!

What a God send. So happy with Mike & his team. I had a very bad color done at another salon the day b4 & a friend recommended GM. They were helpful on the phone & I nipped in 4 a quick consult b4 they closed. Mike managed to fit me in the next day! Mike & all his staff were lovely & friendly, even allowing dogs in the salon. They did a fantastic job & after a long complicated process got my hair exactly the color I'd wanted it & in good condition considering the bleaching. The salon itself is big & nicely designed. I loved the plants over the basins & the huge round mirrors at the stations. Great drinks selection & things to read. I will definitely be back & recommending to my friends.

Good customer service and nice salon. But unfortunately hair cut was not great, right side is a good inch shorter than left. Was the last cut of the day and it was felt, minimal effort into a quite pricey haircut! Hopefully better experience for someone else

This was honestly my worst experience at a hairdressers. My haircut by Mike felt rushed and the result was uneven, unflattering and a waste of money. I am not a confrontational person, and just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. It was the first time I had been and had high hopes due to the 'award winning' salon. I have never been compelled to write a negative review until visiting GM Hair Design.
