Served with mint tea and given a cool wash cloth on arrival and all staff were wearing masks due to the current Covid situation. I had a hair consultation and a quote for my hair colour and cut - so there were no surprises regarding the costs. Staff were all very friendly and professional and Keith did a fantastic job with my hair colour and cut. All in all, a great experience.

Pontus explained everything he was going to do, gave me tips and showed me how to achieve the results needed at home. The overall service by all staff was excellent. The tea and bubbles were a delightful surprise. The ambience was welcoming and luxurious. My first visit will not be my last.

A lovely experience. I enjoyed the tea and towel on arrival, the consultation at the beginning, the lovely drinks service and of course the cut and colour look and feel great. I felt very looked after.

It has been LOVELY here. I was greeted with mint tea in a crystal glass and a cool washer on a silver platter. Then I had two consultations - one with the colourist and one with the stylist. My cut and colour was completed within the time frame quoted and I left feeling heard, seen and beautiful. The tea, coffee and sparkling is complementary and the scalp massages are so relaxing.

My experience with Orb was exceptionally good; great even. The culture is cool in style and warm in hospitality. The genuinely warm tone of Anna during my initial phone call left me knowing I was likely going to experience something special. I was right! The client services in Orb are nothing short of 5 stars. There is none of the pretentiousness which can sometimes come with a few salons, yet there is no shortage of the luxurious touches that set Orb firmly as a high-quality provider. Dom completely understood where my hair has been and where I need to go. Despite the state of my hair on the day

The whole experience from booking to the cut itself was extremely enjoyable. Friendly, relaxed service and I was really happy with the cut. They even squeezed me in a few days before Christmas! Highly recommend Orb.
