I have had natural hair for years and when I decided to go lighter I was nervous but Sam talked me through the options and the actual colouring was flawless.
I love the colour and obsessed with how spot on she was with what I wanted
She cuts it to perfection and my colour is blonde and bright!
I feel like a new women
I love love it!!!

Bit disappointed

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

Had full head of highlights done and cut and style. Both were really friendly and welcoming but unfortunately my hair ended up darker than I wanted and the the finished style didn't make me feel like I just stepped out of a salon. My fringe is a bit uneven and my hair had too much product in and was wet when I left. For £171 I was left feeling disappointed and a bit upset. They were both really nice people but I didn't get the results I expected from the salon.

Response from Ministry of Hair London

Hi Debbie,
Thank you for your review. I’m really sorry you feel that way as i felt your concerns with the haircut were corrected when you let us know what you wasn’t happy with . In regards to the colour i thought you was satisfied with the colour before you left the salon but if there anything we can help with that please give the salon a call on 01268527777.
Kind regards

Of all the Hairdressers I've been to over the years, There has been No-one like Aysha. Professional, Friendly, Always has a Smile and Takes the time to make sure I get the style I want and am very happy when I leave the Salon. I live in Southend and am happy to travel to Basildon to have Aysha style my hair. I'm very comfortable and don't feel judged or humoured like I have with other Stylists at other Salons. All the Staff are friendly and the Girls that wash the hair are Great too.

I have been using this salon for a few years now and Sally is lovely, listens to what I would like and gives advice that I trust. It isnt the cheapest but value is ok and all the staff are lovely, none of that trying to look cool at the expense of the customer that I have found elsewhere and the cut lasts well. Previous salons always took my business for granted eventually but the service here is consistent. The salon is bright and modern and has a decent loo that they are gracious about customers using. Always offer a hair massage and have massage chairs as standard. The drink offer has been drastically cut, for the money it would be nice to have a
more interesting selection..I just have water as I am allergic to coffee. Always spotless and tidy. Recommended overall, these are just tweaks to make it even better.

Really impressed with Sally's patience and gentleness with my hair. My appointment was a walk in and she immediately made me feel at ease. I've been very hesitant to have my hair done as stylists have been very heavy handed during detangling and with heat use, but I was so pleased with Sally's patience and the final result.

Great chat too, would recommend for 'nervous' clients in the chair.

Aysha (Ajshe), is lovely she made me feel comfortable on arrival. She discussed with me from the get go what I wanted and what was achievable. It was the first time I had met Aysha, but the conversation naturally flowed. There wasn't a point where I felt rushed or left alone for long periods of time. I was overjoyed with the end result and would highly recommend Aysha's services. Thanks for an amazing job. Emma.
