Neil has been cutting my hair for years and I wouldn't trust anyone else to cut my hair again. Neil understands how to cut my curly hair. He listens, advises, compliments and I always leave happy. 100% recommend. More...

Had a really bad experience here the person who did my hair was really rough with me from the start i asked her for a really simple trim and she took lots of creative licence and basically did whatever she wanted. There was no care taken no products were used and I was sat there too uncomfortable and awkward to complain. As soon as I left the shop I turned to my friend and burst into tears. When I got home I called the manager to explain what had happened his response was screaming at me and telling me I was a scammer. I burst into tears again. Having said this I don’t think they are bad people but the way my hair was cut that day was not worth any money. More...

Neil got me from dark red brunette to a caramel blonde in a couple of hours and my hair is in *perfect* condition. I don't like going to salons usually as I find the chatting part a bit difficult, but I had a blast when I was here. Felt comfortable and looked after. I cannot recommend this place enough! ❤️ More...

As a male, it can be intimidating going to a hair salon. But the staff at Stage One are super friendly and extremely knowledgeable on their craft. They've honestly perfected the perm. Whatever your hair type, if you're after a perm. I couldn't recommend them enough. More...

I highly recommend this place! David was friendly, gentle but with very good technique and strong. In simple words the experience was amazing! Every detailed mattered, the incense smell, the conversation and of course his great practice. I would 100% go back and I only regret not having found this place before. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I am David and I am an international teacher of Thai massage, a Sports massage therapist, and am qualified in Reiki healing. All my knowledge and qualifications together with my life experience in all these years have made me an intuitive body worker. Listening to your body and listening to you is my difference. When I am with you the clock does not matter to me, time stops. There is only one goal for me, help you.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started practicing martial arts when I was 8 years old and this taught me to calm my emotions and feel safe. In 2006 I was the Spanish Kunfu champion and unfortunately I broke one of the tendons in my biceps, my career as an athlete is over.
This caused me great frustration and affected me at all levels of my life. I experienced a bad sleep, stress and body tension for many years.
I learned that through massage you can heal most of your ailments, whether physical or emotional.
