I've been coming to Kalypsos since the year I got married - 2006 - and I return again and again for the simple reason that I am never disappointed. Sophie understands what my hair will and won't do and I leave feeling two feet off the ground.

At my first visit Shaun took the time to discuss colour and preferences and style of cut. Advising a root colour and section comb through to give my flat hair colour tones. I am totally delighted with it. Never have I had such confidence in a stylist before and I have tried many!. I cannot recommend Shaun highly enough.

Pleased with my haircut with Sophie yesterday.
She first cut my hair in February, when I was staying with my friend near by...
I live in Cornwall, a way to travel - but well worth the journey for a decent haircut!
See you next year Sophie 😊

I don’t visit the hairdresser enough but there’s no judgement here!
Ollie did an amazing job washing my hair and included a very relaxing head massage.
Sean made an excellent job of taming my wayward hair without shaving it all off. He introduced me to ……. Hairspray.
Thank you Sean, you’re a star.

Having had long hair of various lengths all of my life I decided at 59ys old to go short. I had a couple of photos for examples but trusted Sally's judgement and experience to make the majority of decisions. Well I couldn't be more pleased. Both the cut and colour are so complimentary that I now believe 60 is the new 40!
A great fun afternoon looked after by Sally's staff.
Definitely will make Kalypsos my regular hairdresser. The 50min drive is worth it.

First visit to this salon today and MEGA impressed with Sean's advice and skills. Sean advised me on the best route to take for gradually going lighter whilst still remaining a brunette. Can't wait to start the process with him soon. Just roots and a long over due cut today but I left feeling like a new woman. Very reasonably priced too. Definitely my regular salon from now on.

I’m a little scared of hairdressers and my hair being chopped but this hair salon is incredible! Asked me before every cut if it was ok, kept me chatting, I can chat for England so it’s not hard. Such an incredible bunch that I’m rebooking for more next month!
