What people say

I love coming to Bang and wouldn't dream of getting my haircut anywhere else. Sarah has cut my hair for well over a decade and I've never walked out feeling anything but amazing! The team at Bang are artists and I always get asked where I get my hair cut!
Kerry
My hair was cut by Tim. He is absolutely a master stylist, focused and professional, takes pride in his work. The salon is friendly and comfortable, and all the staff are welcoming. Probably the best salon in York (as Carlsberg might say)
