Thanks to the team for rearranging my appointment at such short notice and during a really busy week. Had great service as usual and can’t speak highly enough of everyone in the Masterclass team, trainees and supervisors alike.

Been going to Masterclass for over five years and I’m always pleased with my hair.
Whoever does it and however long it takes my hair is 100% when it’s finished.
Only thing to remember it’s a training school so you must be prepared to kept longer than normal.

Very happy with my experience at hair academy today.
It’s a lovely shape and I feel really good about how I look. Molly talked me through why my hair went the shape it did and I felt confident she knew how to get the best look for my double crown and face shape too. Well done !

I was greeted by a member of staff when I entered the salon. The trainee hairdresser Lottie made me feel welcome and she treated me professionally and with respect at all times. Both Lottie and one of the teachers listened to what I said I wanted to achieve with my hair colour. The teacher explained the pros and cons of the different types of hair foil options and prices. They helped me to decide what was best option for me, to help me make an informed choice. Lottie explained what she was going to do at each different stage as well as giving me advice and information about how to achieve waves and how to look after my hair such as products that can help me control my frizz and dryness.

I am very appreciative and feel motivated and inspired to buy these products and use them at home.

At the end of the hair service, I looked and felt transformed by my new hair. Lottie had provided me with such an excellent colour and styling service. She offered me a head and neck massage which was very relaxing. My hair felt soft and glossy. I just love my new hair colour and style! I have already had compliments which was so lovely. Thank you so much to Hair Ott Modelling School. I am looking forward to my next appointment near Christmas.

Lovely friendly atmosphere. The ladies are welcoming , they listen to what you need, and while student led you are always in safe hands with an experienced member of staff watching. My colour was perfect and my cut was just what I wanted. You do have to be patient as they are training but I see it as my pamper day and thoroughly enjoy my time here.

I have to say I am never disappointed.
For her first colour, Abby was excellent and did a fine job on my grey roots. Then I was handed over to Dior who did a wonderful job of my cut, blow dry and straighten.
Always happy with the attention to detail I receive from the ladies in training overseen by the gentle guidance from the supervisors, Sam & Mel on this occasion.
I always leave with a wonderful new “do” and feeling great.
Thank you.

Appointment verified by Phorest

I had a level 2 trainee for this appointment who was slightly nervous and inexperienced in the initial Consultation on arrival. She was being ‘supervised ‘ at the start by Otto until Mel took over. The trainee became focused and interpreted what I wanted from my appointment . I absolutely love the colour ( root retouch) and the finish and styling was really very good. Might sound strange to compliment the following but the trainee also had really good pressure when washing and rinsing the colour off, Sometimes the trainees hand pressure at the sink is too soft- not this time!

10/10 result for me
Thanks for passing on your experience and talent to these young people

Ty started my hair and she was so quick, but everything was done properly. Ty was very efficient. At the same time she was a delight at how she looked after me.
At no time was I worried about her work, and my hair looks wonderful.
Thank you Ty. Thank you Hair Ott, Mel, Sam and Ally.

This was my first experience, I saw an advert and decided to give it a try due to my current finances.
Sophie cut and styled my hair with Ali giving great support and knowledge. They listened carefully and were very understanding following my illness and poor hair condition. Discussing style and options for my hair. I felt comfortable and at ease (I’m a very anxious person).
It was actually a better experience for me; time and care was taken throughout my appointment.
