For me, James, the owner of Soul, Chester, is by far and away the best hair stylist I have ever had! He puts his heart and soul into what he does and I cannot recommend him and all the team at Soul highly enough.

Absolutely loved my appointment with Lauren today! Although I didn’t need much doing with my hair she has totally transformed it from horrible ratty hair to gorgeous glossy hair! I hadn’t had a hair cut in two years due to wedding preparations and the pandemic but as soon as I was able to I booked an appointment and I’m very glad I did. Lauren was easy to talk to and gave me some pointers on how to keep my hair so glossy and beautiful when out of the salon. All the staff are lovely and I’ve been to Soul Hair many times and I keep returning because of the quality of service I receive each time and the people. Thank you to all the staff!

Love everything about Soul-the love, the quality, the professionalism. They transform my hair, and it's waist length copper. Plus I love the hand massages and lipgloss that make you feel so pampered. They have happily managed me through years in a wheelchair and been a tremendous part of my holistic recovery

Helen is a client of James of many years’ standing. Re-colouring, and as usual a superb cut with a new slightly asymmetric shape.
Jeremy cut by Dan for the first time, achieving an elegant recovery from his Covid-19 over-growth.
Excellent atmosphere in the salon, as usual.

My experience as someone with autism

Anonymous
8th May 2021
4.0

The service I received was great! Dan was extremely accommodating and patient with me. I have autism and he let me communicate in my own way and gave me time to do so - not everyone does that so it was awesome! Personally I thought the atmosphere of the salon difficult to deal with due to the noise levels and the busyness of the environment. This is a problem with all salons and I understand it is difficult to reduce this problem. This can make the experience quite distressing, and that’s on top of an already stressful environment. The staff though are incredible and I’m sure would do anything to try and help if asked. Other than the loudness and personal stressful ness of the atmosphere, I cannot find any fault. I will definitely be returning. Thank you!
