    Absolutely love my hair—Nicki is amazing. Not only is she a truly talented stylist, but she’s also someone who listens and cares about whatever’s on your mind. I have cognitive issues and sometimes struggle to find the right words, but Nicki always knows exactly what I’m trying to say about my hair. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Nicki isn’t just my hairdresser—she’s a friend and someone who truly understands what I need, which means the world to me. I would 1000% recommend her. Thank you so much, Nicki. xxxxx ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I started going to Changing Grooms in January after my hairdresser of 20 years retired. I found the salon online and walked in one day—Nicki was so welcoming and offered great advice about my hair, which is very curly and prone to dryness. She quickly identified that plastic from previous products was the issue. Ten months on, I’m still a regular. My hair is now cut, coloured, and occasionally treated to a spa and scalp treatment—all of which have made a real difference. I’d definitely recommend the salon—it’s friendly, relaxing, and brilliant at managing my hair.

Nicki is knowledgeable and highly qualified in her field unlike many barbers/hairdressers. If you want a barber who takes pride in her work and service offered I’d highly recommend Nicki.

    I have been going to changing grooms for some years now. My hairdresser had changed 3 times and they have all been extremely professional and attentive. I have very fine, straight hair and I always leave happy. Thank you Nikki and Hannah

    Absolutely superb! From start to finish, welcoming, friendly, took time to explain options, gave advice, the skin fade cut was spot on and the perm looks incredible! Nicki and both staff took time to talk to us help out and make us feel so welcome (Team work) Lauren thank you what a happy client! My son is a fussy lad when it comes to his hair and he’s blown away! We are booked in to come back. Thank you for the added laughter too 🫶🏼

    Nicki is the only hairdresser who has ever given me exactly what I asked for—and I’ve been searching since I was 20 (I’m 35 now!). She’s a true master of hair in every way. Her knowledge is incredible, and she explains things clearly so you feel guided, even when you’ve got no idea what you’re doing—like me! Just before Christmas, Nicki was juggling a lot, but she still managed to fit me in for a 9am–2pm appointment to completely transform my hair—from a mess of box dye to a beautifully natural-looking, lighter balayage. And for my fellow thick-haired sisters and brothers: Nicki curled my hair… and the curls actually stayed! That has never happened before! Thank you so much, Nicki—you’re amazing.”
