Fabulous highlights and styling, I can't recommend Nathan enough! I wanted to get a nice haircut before I started uni and I'm so glad I chose this salon! It was completely worth it. The highlights look very natural (but noticeable!) and the cut is very chic. They offered complimentary drinks as well, it was an all-round great experience. Just left the salon half an hour ago and already been complimented. Thank you so much Nathan! I will definitely be coming back.

I've just moved to Hemel and it's always nerve wracking trying to find a new haird
salon. I booked with Open because I liked the vibe. The staff were friendly and attentive which made me feel very relaxed. I also loved the decor. Elliot was my stylist and he was fab, we chatted away and I let him do what he thought would suit my hair best, and I love the end result. I've already booked in for colour and for another cut in a few months. Thanks Elliott!

I suffer from PTSD and Dani made me feel relaxed from the start of our appointment, she was able to make adaptations for my appointment, she also toke the time to listen to what my desired looks were and was able to give me a hair colour that I not only love but is also easy to maintain.

I have booked my next appointment with Dani and look forward to becoming a regular client.

Thank you for giving me the confidence boost I so desperately needed.

Trips to Old Hemel for my regular cut with Ben have an added entertainment factor since the local area is so popular as a film set.
That along with lovely cakes, fresh produce from Artickoke Cafe make getting your hair done a colourful experience. Ben always gets my hair tamed and looking the way I want and the other staff are friendly and efficient- now magazines are back and the screens gone it’s a treat and return to normalcy we’ve all been craving. Wonderful!!

I have finally found a salon that ticks all the boxes and I am no longer nervous about what they will do to my hair! Kirstie is amazing, she listens to what you want and I absolutely love my new colour, it’s something I don’t think I would ever have gone for and I am so pleased I have!
I love that everyone helps everyone out and all the trainees are so good and it’s clear they love what they do and receive great training and support.
The atmosphere is great, there is a lovely buzz about the place, super friendly, relaxed and an awesome drinks menu to make the whole experience even better, there is nothing not to love about Open, Hemel.

I have had my hair done now by Dani twice and both times she has been amazing! She is so friendly, professional and feels more like a friend and makes me feel so comfortable when I’m getting my hair done!
She has done my hair exactly how I wanted it both times and I can not fault her for anything. She even ran through some Baylage information for me and gave me some advice on it. I love coming to Open as the atmosphere is lovely and all the staff are so welcoming!

Loved my experience at Open Hemel and felt warmly welcomed as soon as I walked through the door. Dani was awesome, she listened carefully to what I was looking to do with my hair & gave me lots of great advice. Dani was so professional & knowledgeable, she explained each stage of the haircut & gave me lots of advice on hair care.
I would highly recommend a visit to the salon to experience for yourself the high Standard of Hairdressing & the great atmosphere.

I very much hated going to the Salon as I found it to be quite an intimidating environment, however from the first visit to now, I have felt so comfortable visiting Open. Sarah is absolutely amazing with hair and knows exactly what is best for you and works with you to create what you are going for. She's so lovely too, everyone is. Also, a free hot drink or cheeky gin is a bonus!
