Shapes Hair, Portobello

Brenda Saridakis

I have been a client for many years, which says something about Shapes. I have never been disappointed with any aspect of the business - always pleased with my hair, cut and colour, and the friendliness of the staff and the overall ambience. I have recommended Shapes to friends and family, none of whom have been anything but happy with it. Even my grandchildren have their hair cut there.

Would not recommend at all. Although the girl who don my hair was lovely she did not do as I asked and when I went back a second time for them to 'fix' it, they literally never changed it. A lot of money for my hair to not be as I asked

In today at Shapes for yet another fantastic experience. Been going to Shapes for years. Tracy is brilliant on colour ... totally trust her for her experience. My colour is always in line with my age and skin shade. I get precicely what I want. Not cheap but worth every penny. You can wear a lovely outfit but if your hair is not right well ... need I say more. Please try ... you won't regret it. M Todd

Shapes staff are friendly and helpful. I am visually impaired and the staff guide me to and from the basins. Also they never ask me to go to the downstairs salon which is thoughtful. I have a couple of different stylists, in whom I have every confidence .
The prices are middle of the road but I get a prnsioner's discount which is great!
I also like their loyalty scheme- a card which is stamped per visit. Free products and a free treatment is on offer.

I have used this salon for many years and always found the staff professional and friendly. I presently have my hair cut by Gaby but in the past I have had this done by three other hairdressers and have always been totally satisfied with the end product. My husband and daughter also use this salon.

My first visit to Shapes and was recommended by a current customer.
Lovely welcome and coffee during visit.
Gabby listened to what I wanted done to my hair, asked questions and made suggestions based on what I was looking for.
End result my hair looks healthy and great either straight or curly.
Will be making a future appointment soon for a cut and colour.
