Having curly hair, which I wear straight, I visited the salon in Hemel old town with trepidation because many stylists seem to forget what you asked for and cut waaay too short. Jade is the complete opposite, she took her time and checked with me constantly so I felt very reassured and in safe hands. It's a rare find, a stylist that does what lived experience tells you need, not what they think you need. 10/10. Will definitely use again

I’ve just had my hair coloured and trimmed by Leah and I couldn’t be happier with the results! She created a beautiful blonde colour with highlights and lowlights to blend with my natural colour which is exactly what I wanted. The salon has such a lovely atmosphere and positive vibes where everyone is so friendly and welcoming, by far the best hairdressers I’ve been to!

I had such a fantastic experience at Open hairdressers! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and completely at ease. The stylist took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and offered great advice on colour and style options that would best suit my hair and complexion.

The colour turned out absolutely perfect — rich, vibrant, and exactly what I was hoping for ( Sophie) The styling was just as impressive; my hair has never looked or felt better! (Ben )
It’s clear they use high-quality products and genuinely care about the health and look of your hair.

What really stood out was the attention to detail and the warm, professional atmosphere. I left the salon feeling confident, refreshed, and already looking forward to my next appointment.

Highly recommend Sophie and Ben and the whole team at open hairdressers
