What our clients are saying

Fantastic

We recently celebrated my daughter’s 11th birthday at Era21, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the team had everything beautifully prepared—balloons, banners, snacks, and drinks were all ready to go.

The kids were over the moon, enjoying every moment. They danced to their favorite music, got their nails done, and loved having colorful hair braids put in—such a fun experience. To top it all off, each child received a wonderful party bag, which was the perfect finishing touch. Highly recommended!

Beautiful results

I had my first cut & blow dry today at Era 21 Plus and I have to say I am so happy with it. Thank you Joanne, you were lovely and very understanding. I usually go home and faff around with my hair afterwards but today absolutely no faffing occurred ! I felt very comfortable and very happy with my hair. I would highly recommend Joanne and her team.

Era21 plus is a fantastic hair salon. It’s important for me to have my hair cut in a place I feel 100 comfortable in with fantastic service. My hair feels and smells amazing, and Leander always makes me feel a million dollars. All the staff are friendly and welcoming.

Thank you!

Thanks to Nicola and Leander for doing our hair for a friend's wedding vow renewal. We explained what we wanted and we were delighted with the results. My daughter felt very grown up with her beautiful hair do and was swishing her hair round like a princess all day. Thank you both x
