Client feedback

See what my clients are saying.

Davina is not only the best at what she does, but she is also oh-so kind and patient. Having never had my hair coloured before, she took her time to talk me through the process and what was achievable in her (extremely) professional opinion. Her knowledge is second to none. Davina also has a very unique way of making you feel at ease. As someone who doesn’t particularly enjoy having their hair done, she made me feel so relaxed. Davina has such a caring nature and takes great pride in what she does—a true perfectionist.

Davina is first class in every way. From taking the time to visit me for a consultation, taking a sample of hair to test to completely transforming my overly box dyed and damaged hair. She talked me through every step of the process and went truly above and beyond to achieve an amazing colour and finish. I felt completely at ease throughout the entire process and Davina herself is such a kind and gentle person so passionate about and hair and achieving the best result for her client. I highly recommend this lovely lady xx

Laura Brannigan

Davina is a sensational stylist and colourist. She worked absolute miracles on my hair and delivered results that far surpassed any expectations. Davina possesses an absolute wealth of knowledge and experience but is so unassuming and non-judgemental, she immediately puts you at ease and offers an exceptionally considered and bespoke service. It was clear from the moment I met Davina that she is massively accomplished in her industry. She talked me through every possibility, option, recommendation and stage, and needless to say, she executed every step with professionalism and left me with the best hair cut and colour I have ever had; restoring my self-confidence in the process. I could not recommend Davina enough. She is a masterclass in hairdressing and the loveliest lady to boot. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else now, and think Davina is the greatest find of the year!

Bethany Sweeney

Wow, what can I say that previous clients haven’t said already! Davina has worked absolute wonders with my hair. At previous visits Davina has actually taught me things about my hair, that, to be honest, I hadn’t really given much thought. Her knowledge and constant desire to educate herself further actually amazes me.

She has pointed me in the right direction with products without being pushy and help me in picking the healthier options for my over bleached and constantly over straightened hair. She has gone above and beyond in giving me an expensive product, free of charge, to help in relaxing my hair before it’s s healthy enough to have it straightened.

Davina is definitely one of a kind, with a real passion for her profession. If I could give her 10 stars on here, I would!

Amanda Clements

Davina came to our house to do my wife’s hair yesterday and it’s fabulous! Kirsty tells me what a professional Davina is and how easy and relaxing it was to have her colour and cut done at home. Excellent all round!

Andrew Wilson

Davina has been looking after my hair for about 5 years now. I have been through quite a lot of styles and Davina has embraced them all and made sure that they are exactly what I have been asking for. She is a thoroughly professional and excellent hairdresser with a fantastic sense of humour and great dedication.

Louise Nicholson Roberts

I can highly recommend Davina as an amazing hairdresser. Simplicity freelance hair, Davina is THE BEST. I highly recommend this fantastic, friendly, professional stylist. I am always pleased with the results. Let me just say that the entire experience from start to finish was superb. She is understanding and patient when we discuss my hair. You will have the confidence that she really knows what she is doing all the way through. I have been using Davina for many years now and she always gives me a fantastic haircut and colour and knows exactly what I want. Davina is not only very well educated in hair but also full of facts on other hair treatment she offers as well. I felt very well cared for seeing as the condition of my hair isn’t great. Thank you so much for doing a fantastic job on my hair. If you want someone who can transform your hair Davina is the one.

Mollie Breen

Davina is prompt, professional, proficient and very personable – complete with PPE! Davina is very knowledgeable and quickly assessed my hair; and has given me the best haircut for a number of years, in the convenience of my own home. Excellent service and would definitely recommend!

Christine Owen

Davina has been taking care of my hair for over 2 years. She has a lovely friendly manner and is very thorough and creative. She is a whizz with colour and I know from following her posts that she has not been idle during this lockdown period, but has been taking on-line courses and adding to her list of services to be sure to be able to cater to everyone’s needs when things open up.

I always look forward to my appointments, not only for me hair, but also to have a friendly chat and catch up. I always used to go to a salon for my hair, but have to say I much prefer the home service. More friendly and personal and with Davina you know she will not rush anything. She will take her time to make sure you get the result you want. If you are thinking of changing from salon to home, Davina is your girl… can’t wait for my next appointment.

Amanda Finlay

Fantastic service, Davina has been doing my hair for nearly 20 years now! She really listens to how you want your hair styled or coloured, I always get compliments on how lovely it looks. She now even cuts my partners hair and he loves it too!

Sophie Draper

What a superb hairdresser Davina is. She goes out of her way to give the very best service. Even in lockdown she mixed my colour in the boot of the car and left it at my front door for me to attempt a self colour. Well, with her very precise instructions, I now have no more grey! Thank you Davina for going the extra mile.

Jacqui Miles

Highly recommend Davina!! she wants your hair to look perfect and doesn’t settle for anything less which is exactly what you want in a hairdresser. She’s really honest and doesn’t promise what can’t be delivered. I’ll be devastated when she stop doing hair!

Jessica Gillgrass

Davina is a great hairdresser! She has been cutting and colouring my hair for the last 3 years and I find her to be extremely conscientious, She really cares about getting your hair just right and is never a minute late. Highly professional and friendly… definitely recommend.

Andrea Mainwaring

Davina is quite simply brilliant, super professional and committed to getting the colour and cut just right. She takes huge pride in her work and always goes the extra mile. She squeezes me in whenever possible, listens to exactly what I want and makes great suggestions. She has looked after my hair for more than 8 years. I can’t imagine using anyone else.

Tessa Cunningham

I can honestly say, that since Davina has been colouring and styling my hair, I can’t imagine ever trusting another hairdresser. She always takes the time to examine my hair and suggest what’s best, not only for the appearance but also the health of my hair. The first time she did my hair I burst into tears. Not often you actually cry with joy after a hair appointment! And it has been just as good every time since. I would recommend Davina to anyone but especially if you have colour damaged or lacklustre hair – she will work miracles!

Annabel Fiske

“I have been going to one of the hairdressers in town for many years, but because I work for myself sometimes it was hard getting an appointment to fit in with my hours. Davina has been excellent. Very professional and a great stylist. So much easier to have my hair cut at home and by one of the best hairdressers Ive come across. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Having just recovered from the diagnosis of breast cancer and all the gruelling treatment that goes with it I met Davina. My hair grew back very grey after my treatment & was very short and I was desperate to get it coloured and not ruin the condition or make any mistakes after having been so long without any hair at all. Davina gave me some great ideas and advice and made the transition from chemotherapy grey hair to a new me. She made me feel not only like a new woman but very comfortable and at ease regarding the the concerns I had. I would definitely recommend Davina to make you feel good and look great.”
