Rebecca has been doing my hair for a number of years now, and is an amazing hairdresser. She understands my thick wild hair and brings it under control at each visit. Nothing is too much trouble for her from changing my coloured hair to going "au natural", she really gave me the confidence to go ahead with the change.Rebecca is back doing my hair after I've had a recent operation and I'm so glad to be at the salon with her. Thank you my amazing hairdresser.

Rebecca has given me some of my best ever cuts and colours, she’s super talented but also really kind, sensitive and calming 💓
I have visited Rebecca several times and I always had an amazing experience. She is very welcoming and makes you feel very comfortable. She took her time to listen to what I wanted and offered helpful suggestions that suited my style. I left the salon very happy and with a very stylish haircut. Highly recommend!

Rebecca is such a fantastic hairdresser in every way! She always does a great consultation where she really takes the time to listen to what you’d like, offers different options and uses her years of experience and expertise to help me make my all important hair decisions. Every service with her is so relaxing as she creates a great environment. The results are always 10/10 from the colour to the styling. A real hidden gem in Manchester if you’re looking for a new stylist 😊

Where do I start! Having been with Rebecca for years, she’s one of the few people I trust with my hair. Rebecca listens to every single thing that I ask for in my haircut, plus she gives her own recommendations as to what style would suit me best. She’s always so gentle when cutting hair, and her head massages are to die for!!! She’s always giving me tips on how to best maintain my hair and how to style it once it’s been cut. Not only does she do a great hair cut but her bouncy blow dries are amazing! I received so many comments on how much volume it had and it lasted me til the next day. If you’re looking for a hairdresser that’ll listen to you and give you a fantastic service, Rebecca is your girl.

Should I go for a full head or half head?

A full head of highlights covers all your hair, including:

– The top

– The sides

– The crown

– Underneath

They’re great for people who want blonde or multi tonal hair throughout and provide full coverage without the maintenance of an all-over colour and a more natural look. 

A half head of highlights skips the underneath of your hair, covering:

– The top

– The sides

– The crown

If you’re happy with the underneath of your hair being your natural colour when tied up or you want a striking contrast between the two parts of your hair, a half head of highlights is the way to go. A half head is also better for people with bobs or shorter hair looking for a low maintenance blonde look.

If you get your highlights done on a regular basis I’d recommend switching between the two – this will keep your hair looking great and save a bit of cash. 

And if you’ve got a pixie cut, go for an all over colour instead. Highlights will just leave your hair looking spotty.
