Such a lovely salon with really friendly staff. They were happy for me to bring my life with me and to set up camp for my appointment. Kept offering refills on my green tea and even gave me a complimentary hair treatment. So happy with my colour- Nathan never disappoints!

I had my hair done by Dani who, I felt, is very friendly and caring. She listened to me whilst also taking time to clearly outline what she had understood from me and what she intended to do with my hair. I felt very involved throughout the process. The end result was extremely clever, caring and thoughtful. It was an amazing match to my natural hair. colour. Dani is obviously a very clever stylist and hair colourist.

This was my first visit to the salon. I loved the airy feel of the large space and the relaxing and friendly vibe. Whilst waiting for my colour to take I enjoyed looking around at other stylists working on their clients. I was impressed by the obvious professional and clever hairdressing taking place.

I will definitely return !

I love going to Open, the staff are friendly and always make you feel welcome. My stylist spent time to chat through what I wanted and discuss options, the end result is a fabulous hairstyle which is easy to manage. The only thing missing is a regular front of house person, staff are good but a professional front of house team is invaluable. This is the only thing that they could improve on.

After my first visit in March last year I returned to the same friendly welcome from the cheerful peeps at Open. Nathan's cut and his colour advice were spot on and I've booked in for my next appointment in August. Even the local coffee spot was a perfect recommendation for afterwards. Love the atmosphere here and Hemel Old Town itself is a treat.
