One mum Emma Jade who recently took her two-year-son raking in hundreds of likes on a Facebook post recommending the salon to fellow parents. After the little one's appointment last Friday (July 1), she said: " I just want to praise Sleek & Unique for their service when cutting my two-year-old's hair this afternoon.

"They have a car to sit in, which I know many barbers do but it was the patience and time the barber took with him. At first my little boy didn't even want to put the cape on, even with it being dinosaurs.

"But the man took his time, showed him all the tools, how they feel, the noises hey would make before using each one of them. "He even gave C a sweet treat at the end (checked with me first) plus they have a loyalty scheme too.

Kelly Gaughan added: "He did a fab job of my boys too a few months ago, age five and two." Laura Higgins said: "This man was excellent with my three-year old too.
