Vanessa provided a very informative and professional experience alongside Wesley (an aspiring hairdresser) who gave a very warm and satisfying customer service :)

Big thank u for a hairdresser who did my hairs today after my own hairdresser mest up my hairs a week ago, I was desperated to find good hairdresser who can fix my hairs before Christmas. I went to few hair salons but they was fully booked and then I come to House of hairs and I find i can say the best hairdresser I met, also I bought some great products for my hairs which I was recommended by hairdresser. Also thanks for nice cup of coffee and lovely vaves on my hairs. I really enjoyed and definitely will come back again after new years for a new hair cut. P.S unfortunately I forgot to ask her name, im sure she told me her name but I can't remember 🫥😮‍💨

Lei really listened to what I wanted and needed and found me the best technique of dying to achieve the effect I was after. I struggle from hair loss and she was very empathetic and made me feel comfortable. She gave me a fresh cut and beautiful blowdry to finish. Lovely looking salon, chair and sink were really comfy, a great selection of drinks offered, nice music playing and a head massage when shampooing. It was a very reasonable for the service and I'm very pleased I chose House of Hair I will definitely be going back again!

Vanessa was amazing from start to finish.

End result was stunning and the only time I ever heard my daughter say she loved her hair!

I had a consultation with Leah and I told her that my current salon was charging me a fortune and I didn’t leave feeling a million dollars as I maybe should have!
Since Leah has coloured and cut my hair it is exactly what I wanted, so I leave the salon with hair that I love for a fraction of what I was previously spending.
Leah listens and gives the best advice on what suits me, she’s the perfect hairstylist!
I never leave without making my next appointment.

An uplifting consultation!

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

I just had the most incredible hair extension consultation and I’m honestly still emotional about how positive the experience was. After going through a health condition that caused a lot of insecurity around my hair, I was extremely nervous about even walking into a salon. But from the moment I sat in the chair, the stylist made me feel seen, heard, and completely comfortable.

She listened to my story with genuine empathy—no judgment whatsoever. Instead of making me feel self-conscious, she congratulated me on my recovery and reminded me how strong I am. That alone meant the world.

What truly stood out was how much she focused on the health of my natural hair. She wasn’t pushy at all about products or the most expensive extension options. Her goal was clearly to support my journey, not just make a sale. We talked through what would work best for me and what would keep my hair healthy and strong in the long term.

I left the consultation feeling excited, empowered, and—finally—hopeful about my hair again. I seriously can’t wait to go back and get fitted. If you’re someone who’s been through a tough time and is nervous about taking that first step, this is the place to go. 💕 Thank you for making me feel beautiful again before a single extension was even added.

Leah has been styling my hair for around 8 months now. Wash and blow dry weekly and I've had 2 colours in this time. Leah is amazing, she has all the time in the World for you and listens and advices to my every needs. I am very fussy but she is extremely patient and my hair always looks just how I want it to look after her care. She is polite, efficient and I feel completely confident in her hand, so much so I pay up front for 4 appointments regularly and I look forward to each one. Leah makes me feel I am her one and only customer giving optimal service. Thank you Leah 😊

I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for what happened yesterday. A regular appointment with the three stylists turned into a true refuge and a haven of comfort for me. I was embraced by warmth and kindness, and I could feel the effort they made to uplift my spirits, never underestimating how I felt.

It was a tough day overall, with some news that really unsettled me and left me feeling like I was running on autopilot. The care I received from the two stylists was deeply appreciated, especially considering how busy it was in the salon. Their thoughtful words and sensitivity made a world of difference for me.
Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. I didn’t fully recognize the extent of the “silent” support you offered until this morning, and it truly means a lot to me.

Always nervous when visiting new salons and I have tried most others in Bedford now in hopes of finding my ‘forever’ stylist. Really positive first appointment, Kelly completely understood that I wanted a minor trim (despite the fact my damaged hair probably needed more) and I left feeling really confident and like i’d been listened to! Thank you. Hair salons can feel really full on and a bit cold towards customers sometimes but I felt really welcomed and calm.
