I can't comment on the Hairdressers but Helene and her team of Beauty Therapists are just fabulous..lovely treatment rooms and friendly and sympathetic service. Helene, who usually treats me, is the owner and does a wonderful facial and massage.. Kat is the Queen of the Fake Tan...and Sophie is great at pedicures (they have a proper treatment chair) bliss.

The Beauty department is 2nd to none. Headed up by Helene and her friendly staff of beauty consultants this salon is the best I have ever been to - and I have been to many! The products, the staff and the seamless service are amazing. I cannot recommend L'academie highly enough.

Have been going to Helene at L'Academie (the upstairs beauty suite at the salon) since it opened, so refreshing to visit a salon that is totally profressional and yet friendly at the same time - I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed, not to mention the vast improvement in my skin! My slightly nervous daughters have both been put at complete ease, whilst having fake tan treatments for proms and weddings, and friends who I have recommended, continue to use both the beauty suite and the hair salon, with glowing reports. I cant recommend it more highly - thank you

During the past ten years or so, I’ve had massages with various different therapists to help rectify problems with my neck, shoulders and back (one of the delights of becoming ‘middle-aged’!). Many have done a good job but I can genuinely say that Jeanne at Serenite is the best so far. Her approach is charming and her touch is surprisingly strong and effective considering her petite stature. She puts her clients at ease and never rushes treatments unlike some I’ve experienced. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending her!

I have been going to Jeanne for the last six months for aromatherapy massage, it has been the most relaxing, de-stressing hour and a half I have ever experienced. Jeanne is a very caring sensitive therapist and I come out feeling beautifully calm and ready to face the world again. After initially not knowing what to expect, I am now converted and know that this is my treat to myself and something I really look forward to every couple of months.

I think that L'Academie is a wonderful salon. Charlotte is a talented colourist and always takes a lot of trouble. I feel, in a busy life, that I can relax here for a couple of hours. JI

With the shock of having chemotherapy prescribed, I cannot understate how helpful & caring I found the staff at L'academie. My wig was fantastic & admired by all; it was light & the choice of styles & colour options was enormous. I was able to face my demons with confidence! Many thanks indeed.

My sister recommended Academie to me when I first came to live up here - I tried it once and have never looked back! In London I used to go to Nicky Clarke and Toni & Guy - the Academie stylists are just as good, and for a fraction of the cost. Under the management of Sylvie, the owner, the place runs like clockwork and you never have to wait, and all the staff are courteous and friendly, but without going in for silly inane chit-chat. I know people who come here all the way from Leamington or near Banbury for a good haircut - women and men alike!

Fabulous new masseuse . Personally mixed aromatherapy oils. I had the most wonderful total body massage and came out floating on air.
The French do have the majic touch!
I would highly recommend this as a fabulous treatment.

I mainly have experience of the Beauty side of L'academie which I cannot fault. Helen, Cat and Sophie are a friendly and fun yet caring and sensitive team who make you feel welcome and relaxed. The treatments they provide are well priced and professionally delivered. There's a great reception room where they do manicures and pedicures, so you can even go with your mates, perfect for pre-parties, weddings etc. I can't recommend them enough!

I have been using LʼAcademie for 18 months and always been happy with my haircut. Had higlights done today for the first time ever and am delighted. I trusted my stylist, Loic, absolutely with choice of colour and style and wasnʼt disappointed.
LʼAcdemie has a real emphasis on attention to detail from the massage chair to the lovely fresh coffee and biscuit. The staff are all friendly, greeting me on arrival and departure. My 10 and 13 year old children love having their hair cut here. My 13 yr old daughter had hair to her waist 1 year ago and has now experimented with up to date styles, trusting Sylvie to cut her hair much shorter and layer it. This is a quality salon offering a quality service.

Quite simply the best locally, all I wanted was a GOOD haircut and that is precisely what I got!! However, the massage chair whilst having my hair washed and the good coffee was an added bonus. Just keep it up............Iʼm coming back!

My mum, myself, my husband and most of my friends have their hair cut at LʼAcademie, and we all look great!! The stylists would not be out of place in a top London or Paris Salon & the massage chairs...wow! Go!

I have been going to LʼAcademie ever since I heard about them 3 years ago. The massage chairs are total bliss, the coffee is good, and the haircut is exceptional. I honestly donʼt think I have ever had such a good cut. Iʼve told loads of friends about them too and everyone has rated them very highly - you can see that as their appointment book is always full. Iʼve tried several of the beauty & therapy treatments too and enjoyed every one. I would whole heartedly recommend LʼAcademie - theyʼre FAB!! Try it - you wonʼt be disappointed!
