This is a smallish salon, which appeals to me caus you get individual attention & don't feel like…read moreyou're part of a production line. The girls at Clara Bow listen to their clients and work with clients to create 'the look' for each client.... male or female. The salon itself looks gorgeous... light & airy, comfortable & relaxed. I love the cuckoo clock that chirps away through my appointment. Open late on Wednesdays. I like to hear that the team are constantly learning new techniques, working at Fashion Week parades ..... In other words keeping edgy & ahead in their game. Oops, that wasn't meant to be a pun!

I found the whole experience so good I booked again for 8 weeks time and I swear I'm ready to be one of those responsible regular hair cutting grown up types.
