It was the first time I visited there and of course I will return. The staff there is very friendly and welcoming. Mel mixed the colour I wanted and she is a star. She is so talented, experienced and professional. What else you want from your hairdresser right?? I dont think Ive been this satisfied ever with my hair. Thank you so much guys for the beautiful hair colour. You guys are the best.

Great service and nice atmosphere. Mel is a knowledgeable hair dresser and did a good job with the quality of colour and service.I also loved the hair massage by Jo and gentle handling of hair unlike many other hairdressers. Will go back.

Positive:Quality,Value
I had my hair dyed, styled, washed and blow-dried and Mel was very efficient throughout this process. All the staff were very friendly and made me feel comfortable at my time there. The value was incredible and I couldn't be happier with how my hair turned out.

Mel and the team at JM's were very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and most importantly, talented! I booked in for a wash, trim and style. Mel was fantastic in the way she asked about my past hair dressing experiences and my expectations for what I wanted. Mel's experience in the industry definitely shone through as she walked me through options she thought would be suitable for my hair and explained options for how to manage my otherwise very unmanageable hair! The recent renovations to the salon are impeccable and created a really great vibe from the moment I walked in the door to the moment
