See what our amazing clients have to say
“I have had my hair wash cut & blow dry by Tanya for some 6 & half years now. Chloe has been washing my hair for 3 years i think. Both excellent in their work, kindness, very gentle and understanding. Always happy to give advise, they are not pushy, you ask for something to be done, they advise and accommodate. As my hair is done how i like it as long as Tanya is still in business i shall not move away from her. Good hairdressers are very hard to find. I have experienced what i call butcher / scissor happy hairdressers. These two are definitely not. Love them both.”
Isha – Cut & Blow Dry
“I can’t recommend Tanya and Chloe enough. I found Tanya online and saw that she specialises in hair loss. She has been absolutely amazing throughout my journey. From the very first appointment, she was kind, empathetic and incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to really listen and understand my concerns.
I’ve used the patches, shampoos and hair serums she recommended and the products have been fantastic. She explains everything clearly and makes sure you understand how each treatment works, which gave me a lot of confidence in the process.
Thanks to her expertise and care, my hair is now noticeably healthier and thicker. It’s made such a difference not just to my hair, but to how I feel overall.”
Jessica – Scalp Health
I suffer from Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA), which for a long time really affected my confidence. Since Tanya and Chloe — and Skalp D — came into my life, about three years ago things have completely changed.
They have truly transformed how I feel about myself. I now have so much more confidence and feel like myself again. Nothing is ever too much trouble for either of them, and from the moment you walk in you are made to feel like part of their family.
They look after everything for me — highlighting and cutting my hair, refitting my system, and always making sure it looks absolutely brilliant. Their care, professionalism, and kindness make such a difference.
I honestly cannot thank Tanya and Chloe enough for what they have done for me, love them both.
Maureen – Cut, Colour & Scalp Health
Im delighted to have found Tanya to stitch in a row of weft. My hair has always been fine. I was really looking for volume and to create a tidier, thicker, sharper finish rather than add length.
Tanya is clearly expert in her craft. The weft is always performed accurately and quickly and lasts the duration really well. Just one row makes all the difference . Advice given is always client focused with whats best for me. Tanya inspires confidence.
Step into a new standard of hair care
Don’t settle for a standard salon visit. Experience the difference of a stylist who cares as much about the health of your hair as the final look. Our aim is for you to leave Sanctuary Eight feeling vibrant, confident, and like the best version of yourself.
