Was due in at 515 then received three phone calls to come in earlier however I did state this wasn’t feasible but would try and we were booked in at 515 for highlights but when we got there we was refused highlights and told only half a head but charged the same price that I paid for my other daughter had for full head and it was kind of Charleigh to add as many as she could. This service shouldn’t be offered if 515 is too late to complete before closure. So was disappointed

This was the third time going to Ministry of hair and the experience is always lovely. My daughter wanted a different look but was unsure of what to do. Çeylan 'beautiful soul and a very lovely lady'. She worked wonders on my daughter's hair and she absolutely loves her new look. Just in time for college.
Thank you! Çeylan and also to your colleagues

I wanted a peekaboo style hair colour and was guided comfortably and professionally from consultation to hair day. Sam was kind and efficient. Would recommend her to my friends! Other ladies helped with washing my hair and they were nice too. The salon was quiet and clean, very chill even when servicing multiple customers.

Sam is a lovely, talented hairdresser who did my highlights beautifully. She’s professional, friendly, and clearly excellent at her job. I’d been searching for a good hairdresser for months, and I’m so glad I found her. I’d happily recommend her to everyone — I left the salon feeling genuinely happy.

Huge thanks to Charleigh for my cut and blow dry tonight - I haven't had my hair cut for a long time and it was very scraggy and out of shape.

Charleigh took the time to provide a consultation talking through what I wanted, how I wear my hair, face shape and how angles of hair worked.

During the cut and blow dry Charleigh was personable and we had a really good conversation. She made me feel comfortable and pampered.

I'm over the moon with my new cut and I'd be very happy to book again with her as my stylist.
