Linda did a beautiful job on my hair. She took the time to assess what would be best for my hair type to maintain its condition and keep its volume. She also styled my hair with a big bouncy/ curly blow dry for a night out afterwards. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a hairdresser in the Kemptown area of Brighton.
Kat O'Keeffe
Absolutely lovely place, super friendly, great products and Linda is fantastic, so knowledgeable and I’m always happy with the result. As I have hair which is beginning to grey it’s hard to find someone who understands grey and Linda is expert! Would highly recommend ☺️
K VT
Really pleased with my haircut at Ginkgo's. My first visit and Ben took great care to understand what I wanted and that I was pleased with the result. Will definitely be going back!
