About us

THE GROVE EXPERIENCE is an independent, luxury hair salon, offering a wide range of bespoke services for Guests.

Founded by myself (Gary) and my wife, Giovanna, we opened the salon back in 2009. What was previously a book store we transformed into our Grove Experience. We are constantly striving to offer something a little different for our guests. My wife & I each have over 30 years experience in the hair industry. Our aim was to provide a unique service which would set us apart from other salons.

Just had a complementary fringe trim between cuts. Erin, like all the stylists, ask and listen to what you want and do it efficiently. Was done within a few minutes. Very clean and relaxing atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone.

Emma really took time and care over my hair colour, she seemed genuinely concerned that I was happy and really went out of her way to help. I was extremely impressed with her creativity and problem solving (and that’s from an art teacher!) I’m thrilled with the results - thank you so much.

I've been going to The Grove Experience for a few years now and wouldn't go anywhere else. Lovely staff who cannot do enough for you, with a very relaxing, yet sociable atmosphere. You stay in one seat unlike other salons I have been to that pass you from pillar to post. All sink basins have massage chairs with a remote to choose your settings.

I go on a half price colour day (different days for each stylist) which makes my colour and cut very reasonable and competitive in price.

Lots of lovely drinks to choose from too which are included in the cost. The hot chocolate with marshmallows is lush!

About us

THE GROVE EXPERIENCE is an independent, luxury hair salon, offering a wide range of bespoke services for Guests.

Founded by myself (Gary) and my wife, Giovanna, we opened the salon back in 2009. What was previously a book store we transformed into our Grove Experience. We are constantly striving to offer something a little different for our guests. My wife & I each have over 30 years experience in the hair industry. Our aim was to provide a unique service which would set us apart from other salons.
