Mark Blake Hair Salon Gloucester, Gloucestershire

Decided to treat myself to a colour and cut. had inspo pics, stylist didn't really talk to me about it or have any professional advise in regards to what would suit me...just asked me to pick colours...I litterally had 15 foils put in & a base then a pintail comb was pulled through my hair breaking bits off as it tugged through...I felt quite uncomfortable when another stylist was listening to my conversation to be told I should have my own omnibus like eastenders it made me cringe & cut down on my conversation.Backwashes were really uncomfortable on yr neck. I had a toner put on, the stylist litterally was pulling the knotted hair apart breaking parts of hair (it needed a cut but obv without conditioner hair can get knotty and snaggy).I was asked if I'd like a head massage, I agreed,this was extremely fast & not that relaxing with staff gassing to one another about someone.
unfortunately wasn't the colour or style I had wanted to go for off my inspo pic but it was OK & I did like the cut.
My hair was quite roughly blowdried but styled nicely.
Not one staff member that used a product on me mentioned what they had used.I paid just short of 170 for a service I felt quite disappointed with..I didn't feel pampered or really made to feel that special.it just felt like abit of an effort and to get us in n out ....clients were having pre consultations at backwashes or after hair was washed so it was hard for clients to express what they wanted without being infrint of a mirror...
My neck still hurt a good while after leaving from the sink ...and I had to add some more colour in the end to my hair as it as alot darker when I got home than I had expected....I hate saying anythin negative but I really had high hopes coming for a rare pamper and was just really gutted....also my bill showed 2 cut & bds on it and a bespoke colour...I don't really see how 15 foils, a base and a tone is a bespoke colouring.

A huge thank you to the the team at Gloucester, especially Ellie (colour) and Jade (cut). You banished my greys and straggly hair; I walked in feeling like an aging spinster and left feeling like a goddess. Highly recommended.

Jade achieved a fantastic result. She expertly blended my grey and old block colour to create a natural shade that made me look years younger - thank you.

Very nervously went to get my hair done this morning after not going to a hairdressers for many years.
Was made really welcome by all the team.
Mel made me feel really comfortable talking through my hair needs and problems and gave me a great cut which I am so pleased with.
I have booked my next appointment already.

I popped into M&S afterwards and the lady who served me said how nice I looked, that she loved my hair and that I looked like an angel, calling over another member of staff to look at ‘the angel lady with the lovely hair’
So there you go heavenly hair by Mel ?

I booked an appointment to have a consultation only to find that the member of staff was running due to traffic obviously school was back. My appointment was for 9. I managed to get there 15 minutes early. In fact the staff member did not turn up til afterwards as another member had to do the consultation. I had booked a 2 hour appointment for Saturday only to find that when I got there that I had 1/2 hour to do my hair. Obviously you had over booked so what I wanted do was impossible to do in half an hour

Always a fab experience never left disappointed.

Ali delivers a consistently good haircut. It might sound strange, but I find people react to me differently when my hair has been well cut and I feel differently about myself too.
She is very pleasant too in an unassuming way. As you will gather, I am very happy.

It’s always a treat to come and get my hair sorted by Emily. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I have been visiting Mark Blake’s for over a decade now and can highly recommend this welcoming and proficient, professional hair salon. Always a happy and vibrant atmosphere merged with expert colour services, cutting and styling , I look forward to my visit as a bit of ‘me time’, knowing that my hair is in good hands and I can relax. Many thanks to James and Jade who have worked with my hair over the years and the rest of the team who look after us all so well!

She a wonderful stylist she listen to what you wanted and always give me a great cut and style

Jade always takes the time to get my colour right, she’s fabulous as is the lady who washes my hair so the purple doesn’t run into the blonde but I don’t know her name

I had a wonderful time at the salon today, as I always do. Jade B is so lovely and always really listens and advises on what might be best. I trust her entirely when it comes to my hair and she always makes me feel a million dollars by the time I walk out. The salon itself is amazing and the head massage in the lovely relaxing hair washing room is always a highlight. Thank you!

Excellent cut, professional and the finished result is excellent

James was amazing, I always love coming in and he always makes my experience so lovely! Sian was also a joy to see and all in all was an incredible experience.

On top of the experience the colour is always flawless and I leave the salon so confident!

As always Alison is efficient,polite & pays the utmost attention to every detail.
In addition I feel the reception staff also deserve a mention for their friendliness & efficiency

Once again thrilled with my hair, wouldn’t go anywhere else

Had a lovely experience today in the salon…. Rob was fab and my hair looks really good!! All the staff were very pleasant. Look forward to my next appointment xx

First colour in several years and I love the result

Fantastic hairdresser

Been a customer since the days it was a single ( half the salon floor space ).

Very nice couple of hours. Always a nice chat and giggle with Sheridan. Never came out looking like Sarah Jessica Parker( ask for this every time!!) but very pleased with cut and colour. .

Relaxing visit to salon made extra special by having Sian wash my colour out and giving me a first class massage!
Sheridan as always goes above and beyond to ensure the salon visit is seamless.

As a newcomer to the salon I was looked after amazingly well. Attentive service with real care for my hair! Left feeling fabulously uplifted and having booked my next appointment.

My usual stylist was away, so I opted for a cut and blow dry with Jade. We chatted about what I wanted, and she delivered a smart stylish cut that I'm delighted with. Many thanks! I always love coming here.

As always super pleased with my hair. Excellent all round!!

Thank you

Great hair cut and I’ve always been happy with my bespoke colouring. Izzy has done with great skill.
The whole experience of getting my hair done in the Gloucester branch has always been great. Thank you ?

Such nice people, Emily who did my hair was so nice and did such a good job! Best hairdressers!

I always look forward to my salon visits. This is the first salon I’ve been where I’ve not had to wash and re-style as soon as I get home. Holly just knows what my hair does and how to make it look fab! Excellent service from everyone involved. Always welcomed with a warm smile, always lots of fun banter and always leave feeling like a million dollars! Thank you x

Izzy is an absolute delight and always remembers me which just adds that personal touch. I always come away feeling good about my hair. We are spoiled with head massages and drinks a plenty . The salon is clean and modern and I always feel pampered.

Thanks for a lovely colour today, feels super soft and looks amazingly shiny

Back home after having another brilliant haircut with Rob. Perfect cut and styling to suit my needs. Thanks Rob!

Isabel gave me the best haircut I’ve had for years. She listened to what I wanted carefully and gave really useful advice on what would work best for my hair. She also took the time to explain what the was doing and why, as we were going along. I absolutely love the result; it’s even better than what I pictured! Isabel was also really friendly, patient and accommodating, and the quality of her work and customer service was exemplary. I can’t wait to come back in a few months for my next cut!

Great! Seen promptly, offered a drink- I chose a cool elderflower- and all very quick and efficient. Hair cut well, I was shown all-round view with mirror. Next appt booked too.

After spending 5 weeks travelling through France to Spain and back my poor sun bleached hair really needed sorting out. Once again Ellie worked her magic and I left feeling a million dollars ? Thank you Ellie and see you in September ?

Mark has been cutting my hair for longer than both of us would admit! Superb backed by great hospitality and service

Always greeted well...... Excellent service from all. Lovely coffee ?. Always a good discussion on my hair....very curly....lots of compliments on the cut and colour highlights. Mel is great as is Sian who washes my hair ....enduring my neck is ok. Thankyou.x

My daughter is turning 13 next week and as a treat got Izzy to give her a hair cut with a modern twist. Izzy listened to what my daughter wanted and kept me informed throughout the whole experience. She did a fantastic job and my daughter felt grown up at the end of it. Excellent experience.

Great colour , cut and style , always a pleasure to see Emily and Sian shampooing .
Such a great team

Emily is absolutely amazing . I can just sit back and know she knows exactly what I want. It is a joy to go there .

So pleased with my haircut and colour. Felt so relaxed for a hour or two. Thank you Isabel .

Always a great experience- fabulous team that make you feel so welcome and work their magic to give you gorgeous hair.

Our son has Alopecia and Rob has taken our son under his wing and made the hair cutting experience an enjoyable one. Thank you Rob!

James cut and styled my daughters long, curly hair. He did a great job and it now looks well conditioned and healthy. He blow dried and straightened it and she was so pleased with the results.

Nothing less than the best with James! Always welcoming and friendly & I go away feeling amazing. Thanks for covering the greys today!
