I was made to feel welcome by the team from the moment I stepped through the door. Lovely pot of tea, calm, unhurried atmosphere and stylist Claire was excellent.

My hair was in serious need of some TLC and I was absolutely thrilled with the results. Thank you!

First time at the salon, and definitely not the last. Helen expertly transformed my mousey regrowth of several months with creamy and warm tones, followed by a superb cut and finish leaving me with a classy blonde head of hair. Excellent salon, lovely friendly staff, can’t fault the place at all. Great to get such amazing service outside of London. I’ll be back, and thank you Helen!!!

A badly needed haircut from Amber today. This young lady was, as always, very accurate and very precise. She also took her time, showing me great care and consideration. Which made the whole experience utterly relaxing. The end result was outstanding, and I have no hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending Amber. The team at Quintessential are incredible which creates the wonderful atmosphere that exists here. Well worth a visit. Many thanks for today Amber. See you soon.

Today, I discovered the antidote to the Christmas mayhem. They're called Becky and Amber. A full body and Indian head massage from Becky was so utterly relaxing. This lady is brilliant at this. Always an incredible experience. This was finished by Amber, with a brilliant haircut for me. This young lady is very, very precise, careful, and doesn't rush. She is also a highly creative individual. An altogether exquisite experience. I highly recommend both. Many thanks, ladies.

I visited last Friday for a colour and highlights.
Helen was great at helping me decide on the colour, which was lovely & gave me a decent trim and blow dry.
Amber was excellent and took her time with the colour and was very friendly too.
All in all it was a great experience and I highly recommend Quintessential Hairdressers.
Excellant 🙂

Honestly I couldn't love this hair salon more. I always ask Becky for "just a trim" however on this occasion I said I'm going to be really daring and let you take it to mid length... I am so happy with how my hair turned out and have actually found the style that I have always wanted, butterfly haircut with lots of layers and movement and becky did not disappoint... Honestly this lady is 🔥 fire with hair and actually gives you exactly what you ask for! She made me feel super comfortable in what is usually a worrying task for me in cutting my hair! The salon is super relaxed, chatty and lovely to be in. Thank you Becky so much and hope to return again before my annual year arrival.
