Debbie, UK
"I had been following Nat at Retreat Hair for some time on social media. During a particularly low period, I reached out to her to see if she could offer me any advice about my dull, dry lacklustre hair. I hadn’t been to the hairdressers for my usual colour and cut for almost 12 weeks and my hair was an awful muddy colour with about half an inch of grey roots. Nat was absolutely brilliant and made lots of suggestions on how I might transition to my natural hair colour and what could be done with the style (which I’d worn for over 25 years). She had me try a completely different style and sent me photographs on ones she thought would suit my face shape and also my now thinning hair. She also sent suggestions on how my current hairdresser might help with the transition to my natural colour. Nat was extremely thorough with her process and shared her extensive experience and expertise with me, somebody who lives on the other side of the world. I was more than a little depressed about the way I looked and recognised that my current style and colour was doing me no favours but Nat helped me see that just a few changes to the style and colour of my hair could completely alter my appearance for the better. Living in the UK I cannot unfortunately become a client but I’d be there in a heartbeat if I was able to. I can’t thank Nat enough and have no hesitation in recommending this lovely lady for a brilliant consultation that will be insightful and the knowledge that will help you with your current or new hairstylist

"I first saw Nat on Instagram and the first thing I noticed was her beautiful hair and I was hooked. I had reached out to Nat about problems I had been having with my hair such as frizz and my hair not cooperating when I was styling it. Nat asked about the shampoo that I was using and she suggested that I change to a professional grade shampoo or conditioner. That started to make a difference. Nat also suggested that I watch her video tutorials on how to wash and style your hair. The tutorials were very helpful and have made a difference in the way my hair comes out now. The shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner that Nat suggested have really helped. Another suggestion that has made a big difference is sleeping on a satin pillowcase. Instead of waking up with my hair going in every direction it now stays in place and looks much better for a couple of days to follow. I am much happier with my hair thanks to Nat. I just wish we lived closer so I could use her as my hair stylist."

"Love Nat's holistic approach to hairdressing. She is a true professional who does a thorough consultation, taking into account lifestyle, facial features, colouring, personal circumstances and one's own preferences. Her salon is warm and inviting and she even has a little shop (also available online), including StayStyled satin pillowcases which are perfect for keeping up your blow-wave after leaving Retreat Hair. Highly recommended for those who want not just a beautiful, but a healthy crowning glory!"
