“Took my daughter for dry cut, was attended to by Neelam. The service provided was excellent, she explained the difference in the cuts I was considering and even taught me how to style my daughter’s hair myself. Neelam was friendly and polite and easy to talk to. Will definitely be going back in the future!”

“I recently took my my dog here and was extremely impressed with the level of care and attention they provided. From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly and welcoming, making both myself and my dog feel at ease. The facility itself was spotless, and it was clear that the staff took great pride in maintaining a clean and hygienic environment. They had all the necessary tools and equipment to groom dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I could see that they were experienced in handling different temperaments. My dog looked and smelled amazing after his grooming session, and I could tell that he had enjoyed his time there. I was also given helpful advice on how to maintain his coat between grooming appointments. Overall, I highly recommend this dog grooming place to anyone looking for a professional and caring service for their furry companion. The staff were excellent, and the results were fantastic.”

“I spoke with Paul from the barking branch and Steve from the ongar branch both of which are gentlemen both of them went out their way to help me find my part they both called me back and assisted me, I highly appreciate how easy it was and will use the service again I am currently fixing up my van thank you gents I appreciate it”

“The barbers are very professional. The hair was cut to the length I wanted and I am very pleased for this, the fade was very clean and there's an option for a scissor-cut which comes free of charge. The haircut costs £10 which is affordable but the lad is experienced and you won't regret going there. TIP: (this goes to any barbershop) if you feel like your barber cuts your hair too short, instead of telling them SHOW them the length you want to cut your top without expressing it through brief and vague signs and/or sentences such as 'cut half an inch' or 'an inch' because they will cut it too short most of the time (from my experience), nevertheless when I got my hair cut it felt like I was communicating well with him on what I wanted so I recommend people to come here, also don't be afraid to SHOW how shorter you want your hair to be cut because it is cut too long or short at the end.”

“Space: clean, great tech, good facilities Teachers: thoughtful, compassionate Discipline: outdated approach that all schools use eg detention but they are trying to inspire ‘good’ behaviour Curriculum: teaching kids critical thinking which is a life skill Leadership: compassionate, feminist leadership which is imperative for our boys Some teachers need to be more thoughtful about diversity & inclusion. Understand your own intersectionality Don’t make assumptions about your pupils. Discrimination is about power not race. You have power as teachers, use it wisely.”
