Extremely helpful and friendly stylist. I was upset that my hair had gone terribly dry and Sally made some useful suggestions. She restyled my hair and I was extremely pleased with the result. I have booked another appointment for 4 weeks. Thank you.

Very professional salon but most importantly the staff are friendly and considerate. I love my hairdresser Jo not only just because she is excellent at her job, but she also gives unbiased advice. Always happy and cheerful
so she’s a real tonic to be around, making the whole experience enjoyable ( I’m one of these odd people who doesn’t like going to the hairdressers ! )

I had a cut and blow dry by Daniel and it is probably one of the best haircuts I’ve had in over a decade. He listened to my ask which was to tidy my hair up, my hair was
really long and became very dry. Often most hairdressers can’t cut my hair properly due to the length, curls and thickness. I am really pleased with my haircut and I’ll definitely go back to get my haircut by Daniel.

I was really impressed with this salon, I spoke with Daniel firstly via email and phone and he was extremely helpful and accommodating in getting me in for a hair consultation quickly.
On the day of my consultation I was impressed how Covid secure the salon was, the receptionist was very polite and welcoming and then I had my consultation with Jo who was so lovely and bubbly and so professional, I felt so at ease with her and felt if anyone could get the desired look I want it would be Jo.
I appreciated that I was put on a cancellation list, which would be great.
I cannot wait to get my hair done.

After 4 months without a cut and colour it was a great experience.

I received a call to have a colour patch test a week before my appointment to ensure I did not have an allergic reaction. A precaution in case of reaction after having the vaccine. Took 2 mins.

My appointment was well organised. Temperature check on arrival and hand sanitiser on arrival. All areas were sectioned off to minimise any contact with stylists or customers.

Jo took time to look at my hair and discuss my needs. An excellent stylist who is always friendly and ensures you are comfortable and at ease.

I was so pleased with my cut and colour and have booked my next appointment.

Thank you Jo and well done to the Ministry of Hair Team!

Jo highlighted my hair and was so knowledgeable about the different colours that would compliment my hair tone. She was super professional and friendly :)
Daniel cut my hair after and give me advice on products that would help my hair (without trying to sell me anything). He cut my hair beautifully, making it look healthy but still keeping the length. Overall it was a great experience and my hair looks fab. You can easily tell how experienced Jo and Daniel are :) definitely found my new forever salon!

I never normally get my hair cut and like it straight away but I instantly loved my hair as soon as Dan finsihed. Selfies in the middle of the street love. The layers are perfect, advice was honest and entirely right and the finish is lush. Really happy. First visit, won't be the last.

Jo’s very friendly, funny, knowledgeable not only about politics, tv series, lockdown, literally everything, but also
about the hair style that suited me. She also wore all her covid protection (mask and face shield) and cleaned her hands couple times with hand sanitizer. I am
happy with the results and the service.
The manager also checked my temperature before she let me in (she also asked other customer to put the mask on. Very well done!)
