After my first visit in March last year I returned to the same friendly welcome from the cheerful peeps at Open. Nathan's cut and his colour advice were spot on and I've booked in for my next appointment in August. Even the local coffee spot was a perfect recommendation for afterwards. Love the atmosphere here and Hemel Old Town itself is a treat.

I have struggled to find a salon that can listen to me and understand what I was aiming to achieve. Dani completely listened and worked with me to achieve the results I love. The salon has a nice warming feel and even better when you have complimentary drinkies:). Dani is a star in the making attention to detail is above and beyond and she is a ray of sunshine. I have now found my forever salon ?

Ben and the team at Open Hemel always create a great experience every time I visit. Top stylist, warm and friendly staff & environment, great head massages with every hair wash and to top it all off, an excellent coffee, beer or gin and tonic while your getting your hair cut. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. My wife also visits regularly for her cut and colour and is always over the moon with the style, cut and colour and the service while she is there. Also really like the small touches like a helpful text reminder ahead of your appointment.

I just want to say a massive thank you to Tai for my beautiful new hair colour! I decided to do something really different and add pink to my hair and I don’t think I’ve ever loved my hair more.
Elliot also did my cut. He listened to my concerns about my thinning hair and reassured me and made me feel at ease about it all. He advised me about different hairstyles and products that would boost my confidence and make me feel less self conscious.
Thank you both, I feel like a new person!

I am thrilled to bits with my new haircut created by Ben. Excellent cut and customer service. I had not been to the salon before so didn’t know what to expect. As soon as I walked in I was made to feel welcome. Ben came and introduced himself and spent a long time discussing how I wanted my hair cut. Even when I went to have my hair washed he chose what shampoo and conditioner to use on my hair. Ben kept me informed of every step of the cut and gave me brilliant tips on how to blow dry my hair and maintain my style. I have already booked my second visit as I was so pleased with my haircut and salon experience. I am sorry I did not find this salon sooner but I will definitely be using it from now on. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
