Kiara is so fantastic at cutting my hair, would highly recommend! Can’t wait to book in for highlights

My first time at Ministry today and wow was i impressed!! Total re-style by Toby . He was very friendly and professional with it. In love with my new style! Thankyou so much!

I’m not usually one for writing reviews but am so delighted with my new haircut I just had to!! The lovely newly qualified Kiara Luci was the hero of the hour fixing a complete botch job I’d had at another salon a few months ago. Not only did she fix the mess but also gave me probably the best haircut I’ve ever had! My hair is very fine and usually looks like it’s in shock for a good week after a cut but Kiara really took her time to make sure it was exactly what I wanted and it looks gorgeous! Thank you so much!

Booked a hugely last minute cut with Clive this morning, and was grateful that I could get an appointment at such short notice. Was warmly welcomed, and service was prompt. Clive is clearly a skilled hairdresser, and I am thrilled with the outcome. Significantly better that a T&G haircut, and at a much lower price point. Will be returning.

I don't trust anyone else bar the team here with my curly hair. Excellent service, Alex cuts it incredibly well every time and great value. I moved away from the area in 2013, but Still travel down to this salon!

Under these difficult times the salon works amazingly...Harriet my stylist gave me a great new style she is amazing .....thankyou

I've been an MOH client for 5 years & always happy with my hair,whoever styles it.Recently,I had the pleasure of meeting Andrea who cut & coloured my neglected lockdown hair.I gave her vague ideas & she took over with her talented version.I'm thrilled with the transformation & have recommended to friends..Thanks so much Andrea & look forward to seeing you again soon

Have my Haircut every 5weeks by Harriet she is such a perfectionist ...having short hair has to be precise she does that and is by far one of the best Hairdressers I have the privilege of being her client ....

I had a complete hair transformation by stylist Harriet which was amazing, talked me through every step, so friendly, would definitely recommend.
Thank you Harriet ?

Professional team , excellent hair cut with Clive.

No appointment made but with short notice was able to get a hair cut. Transformed my hair in a short space of time and is now in much better condition. Friendly staff and great value hair cut. Will be back and would recommend. Thanks

I love this salon and it is the only place I'd even consider having my hair coloured. Alex who is wonderful saved me when I'd had a colour disaster before prom 10 years ago and I havent looked back since. Reception staff are absolutely lovely and always have a smile on their faces. I love it

A geeting with a smile from Kim as you walk in.You know your in a good place.Seven years i have been going there.Your hair is the priority.As for you Christy your a Star x Thankyou

Thank you Toby for my wonderful hair. Balayage and baby lights
Toby has dyed my hair from a young age and I have never been disappointed. Highly recommend

Toby at Ministry of Hair has been cutting my hair for the last 20+ years and I wouldn't change salons if you paid me. I always come away feeling that I've got the right cut for me. Toby always spends time at the beginning of my appointment asking how my hair's been and finding out what I want from the next cut. He is able to make suggestions and tells me if my hair will actually do what I'd like it to do. He is very knowledgable and I always end up very happy. The other stylists are really good too and care about their clients and making them feel special. Great staff, great service and a great salon - what more can I say.

What can I say, excellent customer service from start to finish. Staff were friendly and professional, would definitely recommend and looking forward to my next visit.

I was staying in the area for a few days and managed to book an appointment for a haircut before leaving. The welcome and care I received from entering the salon to the end of the appointment was faultless. The receptionist was very friendly yet professional , my stylist Sam very attentive, really listened to my concerns regarding my hairstyle. The young lady who washed my hair did a great job and I had a lovely head massage which was a real treat. I have been so pleased with my haircut and can honestly say that I have not had a better hair salon experience anywhere and I have been to some good ones previously and been satisfied but this salon was a cut above the rest. I'll be sure to return the next time I'm in the area. Thank you.

Dear Margaret Simpson,
Re: Review 28th august 2019.

I have just arrived back after a few days away and very concerned about what happened on Wednesday when you arrived for your appointment with Lisa, resulting in you screaming at two of my team members.
After talking to 5 team members tonight they informed me of the situation.

I would just like to clarify that after Lisa informed us she was leaving, she contacted all her clients. Any that she was unable to contact we made sure we did.
Please understand it is not in our interest to loose business and we take a pride in looking after our loyal clients.
Our receptionist who unfortunately has left due to back pain and an ill mother, tried contacting you on many occasions with no answer.

It is normal for health and safety reasons in professional salons, to regularly skin test, especially when changing stylist as this gives a great opportunity for a fresh consultation.
If we had of got hold of you this would have been explained. Clive was available for your service and was very keen to do it for you.
As you had not had a fresh skin test he was very prepared to offer a cut and blow dry service, whilst giving you a fresh colour consultation and skin test, ready for you earliest availability to return for your colour.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience that was caused and hope this email clarifies we don’t like losing valued business, we also are not in the habit of lying and we have a fabulous atmosphere in our salon.

I would of hoped we could of spoken before your review, so we could of hoped to of made the situation right for you.

Kindest regards,
Toby
Ministry of Hair.

I arrived for my appointment today after text reminder to be told Lisa p had left and I was required to have a skin test. I told them I had already had one so they said Clive would fit me in. They said they had tried to ring me about Lisa going but when I checked my phone there were no missed calls from them. Clive then told me I would need another skin test as the products they use are different from the skin test they had given me before. I had waited 20 mins by then and got very angry at the lack of concern for a regular customer and lies about trying to ring me. Of course this meant they had no intention of dealing with my hair colour and cut today as you have to wait a couple of days for the skin test result. Also I overheard that the receptionist had left so the atmosphere was not good.

Salon did not even bother to reply or defend my complaint, so perhaps they already know this stylist is either lazy or not up to the job!!
***** cut my hair first time quite well, though not enough was taken off. Second visit I asked for same style and reminded her I needed bit of length at back as my hair doesn’t grow straight down at hairline( kinks up then curls down). This has never been a problem elsewhere, but she said it would have to be cut very short at back , so reluctantly I let her do it!
The style I wanted was a classic graduated inverted bob which a skilled hairdresser should have no problem with. However, I went back a week later as the sides were flapping like spaniels ears!! She said all she could do was to put some layers in as what I was asking for was a mix of two different styles and couldn’t possibly do that.!! !! This took all of 2 mins.
Well silly me for going back but I did, and you’ve guessed it, another awful Spaniels Ears Bob, that has been rushed and cut with no layering, no graduated sides and no shape. I must conclude that this hairdresser is lazy, and wants you out of the chair in less than 30 mins.

Thank you so much to Harriet who spent hours taming my very knotty hair and was so helpful to any questions I had. Also gave me the best long lasting curls for a wedding. Thank you so much!

Being new to the area, I was instantly impressed with the warm, friendly greeting I received from all of the staff. My aim was to go from a yellow blonde to white ash and Alex could not of done a better job. I felt so comfortable in the salon which was a refreshing experience. Alex’s professionalism and skill meant that the end result completely exceeded my expectation! Thank you so much! ????

Alex has been cutting my hair for over 25 years and I would want anyone else. He always does it perfectly, and I have also loved our many, many conversations on everything under the sun. Thank you!

Have been using this Salon for 5 years, the staff are always so very friendly, helpful and cheerful!

I have been coming to Ministry of Hair for many years and have always been made to feel welcome. The staff and stylists are polite and professional. I recently moved away from Eastbourne, but I’m happy to travel a half hour drive to get my hair.

To be with Clive is always a pleasure his work is outstanding and he never disappoints .

Very pleased and happy with my cut. Been coming for years.

Alex has been doing my hair for nearly 10 years and he knows it inside out. He is superb with colour and cuts my hair to maximise its potential and it looks fab! I always look forward to my trips to Ministry and chatting to Alex, and know that I will leave with my hair looking on point ever time. Would have no hesitation in recommending Alex and the team at Ministry - always a five star experience,

Alex cut and styled my hair beautifully as usual. Nice cup of tea too.

I have been coming to Ministry of Hair , a client of Alex, for a number of years and have always received 5 star treatment . Everyone is extremely friendly and accommodating andI it’s always very easy to get an appointment to suit my plans . It’s always a pleasurable experience.

Thank you Clive. Exactly as I wanted. Brilliant.

Lovely salon.. very professional absolutely love the results of my hair colour and cut

Clive always creates the right cut to suit my fine straight hair - you are a magician with the scissors Clive - many thank yous

Friendly and professional staff

Always a lovely experience having my hair done, Lisa is delightful and skilled at her job,always leave feeling better ...with a spring in my step!

Love coming here for friendliness of staff and Alex has a real understanding of my hair and it’s needs. Best cut and colour yet.

Andrea has been cutting, creating and styling my hair for the last 9 years. She is always creative and turns my vague ideas into some fantastic haircuts. If you want to be a little more adventurous with your hair style, Andrea is the stylist you need to see. The MOH team are all lovely. I highly recommend the salon.

Having worked here I can honestly say it’s the best salon . The staff / my friends are so lovely and welcoming , my hair is the best it’s ever been and it’s all thanks to here ! Would never ever go anywhere else ????

I have been having my hair cut by Andrea at Ministry of Hair for more than 16 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Everyone in there are really friendly. Thoroughly recommend.

Have been with Clive for a number of years. Today he styled it a little shorter at my request. Fantastic - thank you Clive. You are the best!!

I’ve been going to the salon for years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Andrea cuts and colours my hair and it always looks great. I often get compliments on how good my hair looks. My daughter now goes as well.

The salon was quite busy, the music was great, all from the ‘Noughties’ but there wasn’t a receptionist. This meant the telephone was ringing and couldn’t be answered because the stylists were too busy, this was a little off putting.
Happy with my hair (as always) but a shame no one to welcome and manage the clients.

Very professional salon, always love the way Debbie cuts and colours my hair. Shame about the awful cube sears!

Lovely Becky makes sure I’m just the right blonde for each season and my hair has never been in better condition!

2 years ago, I walked into Ministry of Hair in tears, hoping they could help me fix the awful cut I had received elsewhere. Whilst I had to go shorter still, the cut was amazing and made me go back for a colour as well. I am devoted to Debbie and how she listens to what I want, how I wear my hair, and my lifestyle. She won't let me do anything impulsive, but went to great lengths to help me find the best way of having red streaks without damaging my hair.
I love the atmosphere, the coffee & they have even set up a workstation at the front which is great for busy people like me! I take my laptop & can work while my colour 'cooks'.
Love the new decor too! The salon always looks great, well maintained, loved & cared for.
The rewards scheme is a nice touch, letting you build up 'points' to spend on products or services.

Becky has been doing a fabulous job of keeping my hair both gorgeously blonde as well as nourished and strong, which is no mean feat. I get compliments and people ask where I get my hair done all the time and I think it’s safe to say it’s down to the expertise of Becky and all at Ministry of Hair. They take hair seriously, would definitely recommend.

Becky is a great young hairdresser
Always making me feel relaxed and making my hair look great ????

I’ve been having my hair cut at Ministry since I moved here a few years ago. Fantastic ! Being able to walk out with hair exactly how you wanted it is priceless. Would highly recommend this salon

Love this salon! Such a friendly atmosphere. Ive never had a bad experience here and the girls are so professional. I usually see Megan for hair colour, cut and blow dry and have always been really happy with the end result! I would definitely recommend this salon to friends, I’ve been to a lot of salons in the past and this is by far the best one!

Lovely salon
