Kirstie did her best to put me at ease, decifer my requests and point me in the best direction. Great haircut I'm still getting used to it but lots of compliments. Thank you for being so patient see you next time. Great coffee also a bonus. X

I have had the pleasure of observing and personally experiencing the immaculate level of training, passion of the directors, skill set of apprentice (Jess) at the Academy and the wonderful quality cuts done by qualified stylists (Kirsty and Sophie) at the Hemel Salon on both of my daughters.
The salon is such a vibe!
It’s always touching to see years worth of skills willingly shared and eagerly absorbed to create the next generation of magnificent stylists!
Well done to you all! May you grow from strength to strength!
I would absolutely recommend you to everyone I know!

Best haircut in years

Overall a great experience and great understanding of figuring out what you would like though my explanation was poor.

A comprehensive knowledge of the dos & don’t of hair and was able to get my hair back to a professional looking cut.

The value for the experience and expertise can’t be more overstated. Easily would have spent twice for the same cut.

Also create atmosphere, friendly and welcoming.

Thanks again, I will be returning.

Bad hair cut. My hair became very messy after cutting. It is worse than before cutting. So disappointed. By paying £65 for this quality of hair cut is unacceptable. I will not go again.

I’ve been getting my hair done at Open Hemel for 3 years and it never disappoints! Everyone is so welcoming, warm and kind. Nathan has taken my hair through so many changes, with the most amazing colour work. Most recently, he did my wedding hair and I was so happy with the outcome. I really appreciated the creative input to help create a hairstyle that i love. Their unique take on hair is so refreshing, and it seems everyone at the salon is open to ideas. Thank you so much for always making me feel amazing!
