Booked my first post pregnancy haircut at open and had the pleasure of a great restyle by Kirstie. She listened to what sort of thing I was hoping for and gave her expert advice. She made me feel like my own person again, not just a mum.

Amy is a fantastic colourist and cutter and has an obsessive attention to detail, as does the salon in general. Friendly atmosphere, extremely professional, couldn’t recommend them more highly. I’ve been having colour regularly for many years and I’ve never been so happy with both the naturalness of the colour and the condition of my hair (long &, blonde).

Just had my first visit to Open in Hemel, and it was a fantastic experience. I'm definitely coming back. Dakota was really kind and gave me a fantastic haircut! I have curly hair, and she respected that, creating a cut that enhances my curls. She also did an amazing natural blow dry, resulting in gorgeous hair that I absolutely loved! Dakota nailed the look I wanted, and the blow dry left my hair looking amazing. The attention to detail was on point, and the whole experience was relaxing. I'll definitely be coming back for more hair magic! 💇‍♀️✨

Dani is so helpful. I came with photos of a totally different style that I was considering (a pixie crop for curly hair) and she talked me through why my hair wasn't entirely suited to exactly what the photos looked like and why her thought a slightly longer version would work better for me. And it looks great! I've never dared to have short hair like this before, but I love it and I'm so pleased that I trusted Dani to do it for me as she's fantastic at her craft! Thank you Dani xx

This was my first time at Open Hemel Hempstead. I had a hair emergency and needed someone to fix a disastrous haircut. Elliot was absolutely amazing (I think he enjoyed the challenge!) and spent a long time fixing and hiding the mistakes. I left his chair with a really beautiful haircut and immediately felt so much happier.

The salon itself has a lovely vibrant atmosphere, every team member was welcoming and I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs some hair TLC.
