Had an appointment yesterday; 23rd August with Jordan at the hair company as my usual stylist Chynna was on holiday. Was very pleased with my hair. Jordan did great job as i know my hair can be a bit if a challenge. As it was my b/day having my hair done was part of my pamper routine for the day before going onto local nail-bar. Is really good to know that i now have 3 really great stylists at the salon who can manage my very curly frizzy hair type & transform it to smoothe plus make me feel beautiful. Thankyou to Chynna, Jordan & Jenny; everyone always very professional.

The atmosphere in the whole salon is friendly and relaxed. I wasn't exactly sure what cut I wanted but I was fed up of my long hair. The girl who cut it for me (really wish I could remember her name right now), took the time to ask me what styles I liked and also what my usual hair routine is, she advised me on the type of cut that would suit me and still be manageable, and even showed me pictures of what the end result looks like on other people. She was honest about the upkeep of the style I originally liked, but also didn't push me one way or the other and was open to discuss other options. I'm very happy with the service I received, and the haircut style too. Would definitely recommend this place, and I'll be going back there too.

Best hair salon in Hitchin

Appointment verified by iSalon Software

As a Hitchin resident for the past 10 years I have visited a number of hair salons but none come close to The Hair Company. I have been a regular there since it opened and I have never been tempted to stray, the reason being every stylist I've had asks what you'd like and then that is what you are given along with maybe a few helpful hints along the way. This may seem obvious but so many times at other salons I've told the stylist what i'd like only to walk out with the stylist's idea of what that was. Shazia and her team take time to understand your needs. They provide the best welcome and all round service in Hitchin (and their coffee's really nice too!)

After reading the reviews i decided to give the salon a try.. Sarah was a lovely girl and im sure she has a lot of happy customers but after leaving the salon with very damp hair i noticed my roots are not evenly coloured and have a few overlaps....she did explain that in order to achieve a more tonal look i might have to let the dark hair come through but would expect colour to be evenly applied. I feel after paying £86 for half head which is in the same price range of more high end salons in enfield, i would of had a better service. I also fully understand that a professional blow dry is.not included but would of expected to have at least left with dry hair. Can i also point out that at *salon name removed* a toner is included in the price i didnt expect it to.be in excess of £25 . Thanks to sarah for trying to achieve the colour i wanted but i wont be returning unfortunately.

I have had Jordan take care of my hair for a couple of years now. I have never had a hairdresser care more about the health of my hair than her. She will always advise me in depth what's best for me hair and gives me realistic goals for my sometimes unrealistic requests (we all have them!) would definitely recommend. I also love that they use Aveda which doesn't test on animals or contain animal products! Win win!

Great hair cut and style! Loved it, great chat with my hairdresser and the girl who shampood my hair gave a lovely wash! Massage chairs are fab!
Rude and abrupt receptionist! Especially on the phone! Even when I was at the desk paying, she was the same to someone else on the phone. At least I knew it was the norm, and not something about me.

Complete restyle and full head colour today with Sarah and Wayne... absolutely love it. Sarah's colour never fails with me. I am the client who is very nervous about new people cutting my hair after a few scissor happy experience elsewhere, however, Wayne listened to exactly what I wanted, offering advice where appropriate and my new bob is gorgeous. I will definitely be rebooking both Sarah and Wayne from now on.

This was my first visit to THC.They were recommended by my daughter (who's very particular).Very professional approach and welcome.Staff might just take onboard that new customers are probably very nervous as they may be on the search after a 'not so wonderful ' experience with past hairdressers.Anyway,after a discussion on my hair, needs etc Jordon showed her craftsmanship and knowledge on My tresses.Outcome excellent, nerves abated and repeat visit booked.Lots of compliments on my healthy looking hair.And my confidence boosted.Thankyou THC ,Hitchin.

I've had the worst salon experience of my life. Receptionist seemed annoyed that i wanted to book an appointment even though I didn't ask for a particular day or time. Seemed annoyed to see me when I went for my haircut, no smiling, no greeting, scoffed when I had to look up the name of the stylist I had a appointment with (I was a first time customer). I showed the stylist a picture of what I wanted and walked out with something incredibly different. I hated the haircut and went back the next day only for the very argumentative salon owner to make it much much worse. Apprently the initial haircut I showed them wouldn't work with my hair even though I asked specifically if that wpuld be the case. I'm in tears, I have never felt so ugly or self conscious in my life. I am going to have to spend another £50 somewhere else to get this mess fixed. I am never setting foot in this awful place again.

I needed a new hairdresser and found THC and liked the reviews on the net. I met with Sophie, very professional, we went through my hair type and style that would suit me and my life style. The cut was carried out with care and precision. The wash was lovely, loved the massage chair. Being a busy mum I felt the whole experience a real treat. Love the Aveda products.
