I'm sad it's taken me this long to leave a review. I've been frequenting Slinky since around 2014 and even after moving out of the area I still make the trip back for my hair appointments. A wonderful highly skilled team who compliment each other very well & are so very welcoming. Fantastic service, I honestly wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you so much Slinky. The pleasure is always mine!

Kon and Gina are the OG hairdressers/barbers and you can see why! They're super friendly and know what they're talking about. They adhere to your needs but give you the right advice too, l amongst a relaxing atmosphere. I've been coming here for a few years now and Gina has not just been the best hairdresser but a nice friend. It is a bit expensive but totally worth it!

Gina is amazing! She managed to keep the length on my long and VERY dead hair, while still making it incredibly healthy. She's basically a magician. Thank you Gina!
