Ian is a great stylist for curly hair. He seems to know innately the way to cut into the curls for best effect. He is also a great conversationalist which makes the whole experience just perfect?

I have had my hair done now by Dani twice and both times she has been amazing! She is so friendly, professional and feels more like a friend and makes me feel so comfortable when I’m getting my hair done!
She has done my hair exactly how I wanted it both times and I can not fault her for anything. She even ran through some Baylage information for me and gave me some advice on it. I love coming to Open as the atmosphere is lovely and all the staff are so welcoming!

Loved my experience at Open Hemel and felt warmly welcomed as soon as I walked through the door. Dani was awesome, she listened carefully to what I was looking to do with my hair & gave me lots of great advice. Dani was so professional & knowledgeable, she explained each stage of the haircut & gave me lots of advice on hair care.
I would highly recommend a visit to the salon to experience for yourself the high Standard of Hairdressing & the great atmosphere.

I very much hated going to the Salon as I found it to be quite an intimidating environment, however from the first visit to now, I have felt so comfortable visiting Open. Sarah is absolutely amazing with hair and knows exactly what is best for you and works with you to create what you are going for. She's so lovely too, everyone is. Also, a free hot drink or cheeky gin is a bonus!

Dani is great - she’s really skilled at cuts and colours - I have short hair and am not good at explaining what I want but Dani listened to my ideas and has given me two great cuts and colours so far! She’s not afraid of making suggestions and I love being styled by someone who has a fresh approach to hair.

I had my hair done by Dani who, I felt, is very friendly and caring. She listened to me whilst also taking time to clearly outline what she had understood from me and what she intended to do with my hair. I felt very involved throughout the process. The end result was extremely clever, caring and thoughtful. It was an amazing match to my natural hair. colour. Dani is obviously a very clever stylist and hair colourist.

This was my first visit to the salon. I loved the airy feel of the large space and the relaxing and friendly vibe. Whilst waiting for my colour to take I enjoyed looking around at other stylists working on their clients. I was impressed by the obvious professional and clever hairdressing taking place.

I will definitely return !

I love going to Open, the staff are friendly and always make you feel welcome. My stylist spent time to chat through what I wanted and discuss options, the end result is a fabulous hairstyle which is easy to manage. The only thing missing is a regular front of house person, staff are good but a professional front of house team is invaluable. This is the only thing that they could improve on.
