Clients say the salon is calm, cosy and welcoming, with plants throughout and stylists who take time to talk. One client has been coming for more than a decade, and another says people ask where their hair was done. The salon is an intimate, one-on-one space. Our pick in Kelson for blonde and balayage with a calm room to sit in.
