First Visit

First visit since business had changed hands. The salon had had a slight makeover, but was still recognisable. Stacie was helpful and professional- talked enough, but not too much. I was satisfied with the results. Price significantly higher than under the previous owners, so will have to reflect on that- but it was made clear to me when I booked.

I’m the fussiest of clients. Bobs are complicated as little tweaks make a big difference. Gary was amazing, obviously has so much experience and quickly produced a immaculate hair cut. Delighted.

I can’t thank Luke enough he is amazing at what he does .. my hair was looking quite dull and dry partly to do with hormonal changes he came up with the idea of putting some brighter highlights around my face .. also advised me on managing the dryness .. he also applied a conditioner to reduce the dryness . End result .. loved it so much .. I have been going to Luke over 4 years now and would highly recommend him. The whole team are amazing .

I’ve been trying to find a creative and skilled stylist for the ten years I’ve lived in the UK, and I’m so very pleased to have found Gary and Wilde about Hair! Every other salon I’ve tried has been so boring and conservative and gender normative. I finally got a great haircut and a style that isn’t the same as every other woman in the UK (long and straight).

I stumbled across Wilde about hair after going to a well known salon nearby for years. Luke gave me a different slightly shorter cut and I loved it. On my 2nd visit almost 3 months later, Luke remembered the previous cut so was really pleased. Also the young female receptionist is very welcoming and helpful. Thank you
