Whether I’m having my hair cut or coloured, Liv always does an amazing job and I always leave the salon extremely happy with my hair. Liv is very professional and great to have a chat with! I also love the range of products the salon uses and the fact I can buy some to use at home.

As always Emily was efficient, professional and gave the best head massage! I left wishing I had somewhere special to go to tonight as my hair looked so good! I always get comments from strangers when I go into shops in West Malling after my appointment Then it poured with rain!!? and I (and my lovely hairdo) were drenched!.

I have been going to Shine hairdressers for about 18 months now and Liv has been doing my hair for about a year. I’m always very pleased with the results, she gives good advice on treatments, colour and products available. If you’re thinking of having your hair done at Shine I would recommend Liv.

I am so sorry to say that I was incredibly disappointed with my blow dry on Saturday. It didn’t last and had fallen flat before I even left my house for the wedding. I could tell that the stylist was using too big sections. It wasn’t smooth and was poorly done. *** was pleasant and really lovely though. Sorry
