Excellent Hair Salon

I have been going to Contempo hair salon for several years & always found the staff very friendly, professional & courteous. I love that when you are seated, you are offered a complimentary mini massage & a drink. The prices are fair & advice on hair care is 5 star. Sian always does a first rate job & I can always rely on her for new ideas & suggestions.

I usually have Gemma but Stephen has stepped up. Lovely hair colour and good cut. Last time Stephen had to answer the phone and speak to a walk in because of lack of junior assistance. It must be stressful but he was unfailingly polite and helpful.

As a long term customer I had no qualms about returning to the Salon after each lockdown. Due to Gemma’s really bad fall and being unable to continue with her own clients, Stephen, Chloe and Sian are keeping the Professional and very Safe running of the Salon going to the usual high standard it has always being. I normally have my hair doing by Gemma but in her absence Sian is doing a really good job... very thorough and continues to be her usual friendly self... as are Stephen and Chloe. I’m definately happy with the results and always look forward to my next appointment.

After being in lockdown since March, I plucked up courage to and get my hair cut. I selected ***** although I have also had my hair cut by Steve. ***** seemed distracted and my hair cut suffered, she tried to blame the wearing of a mask but when I asked how many clients had suffered my fate she said none. ***** offered to "have a look" at my hair, but I am concerned that she would not be able to improve it so I have made an appointment at another salon who I know will make a better job of my sad hair cut. Short on one side and long on the other, with long hairs left over from previous style, is not a good look. Won't be going there again.

Gemma has been with the salon for a long time and always does my hair exactly as I would like. If advice is sought, she's happy to oblige. I come back to the salon again and again as I never fail to get good service, from hair washing to head massage to styling.

Gemma is well supported by her team and she and the others are unfailingly polite. I see no reason to change.

My most recent visit was the weekend before Christmas; even though the salon was very busy the level of service was maintained regarding: welcome, consultation, shampooing, neck/shoulder massage, cut and finish. Chloe is always very professional; she cuts my hair just as I like it and she is friendly and sociable. I was very pleased with the result of my visit and it was a treat to have a complimentary glass of wind since it was the Festive Season.

Happy New Year!

Can I say how much I appreciated the special offer of 50% off before Xmas. I was so tired from working and would have struggled to afford this.

Sian (as all the staff) was so caring and helpful. Gave great advice. My hair has been so much better since coming. Sian should train to do massage and you could offer massage as well as an add on service? Thanks once again. What a lovely atmosphere and what a great team who really care about their clients xxx

Having been a client for many years now I would never consider going elsewhere. From the moment you walk into the salon, your experience begins, being welcomed so professionally with a friendly smile you’re escorted to your chair and the pampering begins. An amazing complementary head and shoulder massage. After which you’re chilled and ready for your consultation from your stylist. Throughout which you are given the opportunity to say exactly what your idea of a style, colour or both you have in mind. Following on from this your stylist will advise, suggest, showing colour charts, every minute you know and feel that you are being heard and your requirements are provided. Throughout the whole duration of your visit to the salon you are continually offered a wide range of complementary beverages. As I say they think of everything. Massages during your Shampooing & Conditioning your hair upstairs and the opportunity of having a further excellent massage in a quiet , tranquil and dimly lit area with scented candles is just the icing on the cake. Every member of the team is polite, friendly, professional and are all there for the same goal.... to provide a very special experience for every client... whether it is your 1st or your 31st visit to the salon. The level of professionalism and experience is outstanding. I long for my visit to Contemporary in Harrogate as Gemma and the entire team go above and beyond to ensure every client enjoy their visit and can’t wait to return .

I've been messing Stephen & Contemporary around for ten years now; rebooking appointments, missing appointments and calling in for a haircut with no appointment. The team are only ever friendly and helpful, and continue to put up with me. Stephen understands his clients needs well; he is both experienced and talented in his work. He has suggested styles I hadn't considered, which shows he thinks about what is in fashion, but to add to this he understands his clients lives/professions, and works that into the styles he suggests. It's that difference in understanding his customers and applying his skills which makes him an excellent stylist.
