HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! after booking an appointment online with rush hair who told me when I arrived that the online booking was just a waiting list and I had no booking!!! i called MINISTRY OF HAIR they where great they said come straight In.
I had my balyage done with Ajshe she was fantastic really helpful with picking colours and managed to fix some crap colouring I had from a previous balyage, she was so helpful and polite she cut my 7 year old daughters hair while my colour developed as well!!! also asked Ajshe for a trim and unlike other hairdressers who seems to like to hack my hair off! she done it perfectly ! so impressed with every bit of service I received from the first phone call right to the end, thank you guys for getting my hair sorted just in time for my work Christmas party I will be back !

Ceylan rescued my hair after I cut it myself and butchered it! My hair is even again and looks far healthier. I have naturally curly hair which Ceylan knew how to cut and style appropriately. Blow dried sleek and smooth. Very happy customer.

Really super cut and subtle colour - knowledgable stylist listened carefully to my ideas and then gave me a really good haircut; slightly out of my comfort zone, but loved it all the more for that! Friendly service, welcoming salon, lovely experience.

Had a colour and cut. Colour was spot on. Asked for a blunt cut bob and never once asked for layers. Unfortunately, I’ve had loads of very short layers cut into my hair. Not the blunt cut bob I wanted and now have to get hair extensions to level my hair out as I now look like a mullet cut. Extremely disappointed

Whoops...my previous review gave 1 star but it was meant to be 5 stars.

I have been returning to this salon for many years.
The staff are friendly .

My haircut by Daniel was good ,he listened to what I wanted and cut my hair as we discussed.
My hair is curly and I am really happy with the results.

I have previously had highlights done at the salon which were lovely and natural just what I asked for.
