Absolutely obsessed with my nails! Hannah did such an amazing job, one of the cleanest and most perfect manicures I've had in Byron, and I've been living here for 10 years!

Olaia has been cutting my hair for years, and I honestly wouldn't go to anyone else. I completely trust her to understand exactly what I'm looking for, and she always does an amazing job.

In town for a wedding and super unorganised, I walked in hours before hoping they could help with my hair and toes. Within 20 minutes I had an appointment, and they did a beautiful job!
