I'd originally used Reed Hair back in 2023, when Emily cut and shaped a wig for me, which I was very happy with.
With my real hair having grown in really well since, I'd always set my mind to return to the salon, when I was ready to have a change of colour done and talk about putting a cut into it.
It was lovely to return over a year later, and be welcomed and remembered by Faye at reception, and my decision to return to Reed was only underlined more.
Initial colour consultation was with Eleana, which was friendly, thorough and professional. So I felt confident and excited about returning for my colour appointment.
My appointment was with Emma, and having quickly gone over my consultation with Eleana, she got to work.
Having waited so long to be in position where I could realise what I'd envisaged, I was beyond happy with the results and Emma had done a fantastic job...truly fab!
❤️ Reed Hair and I'm looking forward to my next appointment already x

I had come from Chelmsford to Reed Hair to see Cheryl as she had previously coloured my hair elsewhere. Cheryl did not disappoint, she was honest about what I should expect and the necessary steps to get what I wanted, the colour first time came out better than I was expecting and the salon experience was unlike anywhere I had been before. Definitely worth every penny, a lovely experience!

Always know when I go to Debbie at Reed Hair I will be treated with care and respect. There is an amazing atmosphere, comfortable surroundings and great service from the moment you step in the door until the moment you leave. I've seen lots of different hairdressers but Debbie is by far the best, she knows your hair better than you do and yet still respects your needs and anticipates them. Your hair is not a product of hers to finish once and send on the way, to her your hair is something precious to look after and maintain for the weeks and months to follow as well. She is a gem!

Firstly the appointment l booked was somehow not put on the system so it was only a last minute phone that found this out so l wouldn’t have got my hair done. Secondly Mel always does my hair but was unavailable, l always have a curly blowdry, l did say use a small brush to hold the curls. Unfortunately by the end of the evening all the curls had fallen out so it looked a bit of a mess. I’m disappointed all round. I think the stylists should listen a bit closer to what the client is asking for.
