About Timba
Timba Hair & Beauty has been looking after Cardiff hair for over 25 years, with quite a few of our beloved clients having been with us from day one. We take education of our team seriously and have not one but two specialist educators training our team. With a degree in colour (yes, that's a thing) our colour specialist and business manager Ceri not only trains our team, but also teaches other salons how to use colour expertly. Our salon manager and Master Stylist Emma has trained countless stylists in the art of cutting and continues to train our budding stylists every Thursday evening. Siarad Cymraeg? So do we! Several of the team speak Welsh, so you are welcome to book, chat and be looked after in either language. We are open until 8pm on Wednesdays for anyone who cannot get to us during the working day.
