It was my first visit to Samantha Jayne Hair, and I was a bit nervous, but Shirl was so lovely and put me at ease straight away. She really listened to what I wanted and gave me a great haircut and blow-dry. My hair feels amazing. I’ll definitely be back.
Thanks, Shirl. 😁
Pauline BossGoogle review, October 2025
My first time here. Easy to find and park, Chloe was really friendly, welcoming, informative, listened, put me at ease and I was really pleased with the result. Just what I wanted. Loved the drinks menu too and the freebie shampoo sachet!. Look forward to going back again and the ease of booking online.
