Ola was absolutely amazing. She listened to what I wanted and shared her expertise on how it would work with my hair texture.
The cut was super precise and she took time to make sure it was 100% perfect.
I cannot wait to book my next appointment with her!

I had such an amazing experience at the salon today with Pietro! I was very nervous as I was going for a pixie cut from long thick curly hair but Pietro made me feel at ease from the start and did an amazing job!! I loved the final look, it was just what I imagined and more! The reception staff were great and I loved the salon’s atmosphere , very spacious and relaxing. Thank you for the great experience, it was my first time here and will definitely not be my last :)

Five stars for Pietro at The Chapel! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mike Stevenson

Team Member: Pietro

Appointment verified by Phorest

A great haircut is one thing. A great haircut accompanied by terrific conversation is quite another. With Pietro, you get both!

Pietro is an outstanding hairdresser. He listens carefully to what I’m looking for, we discuss the options, and he brings his considerable expertise to the conversation. The result? I’m always delighted.

What particularly impresses me is that he remembers how he cut my hair on my previous visit, asks how I got on with it, and genuinely takes any feedback on board. It’s that attention to detail, and his obvious pride in his work, that makes him so good.

And then there’s the conversation! Pietro is Italian, and brings all the warmth, enthusiasm and passion you might expect. We’ve travelled conversationally from Naples and Pompeii to Spain, the Romans, Sicily, life in Tunbridge Wells, adventures around Britain and, most recently, his electric bike. All without leaving the barber’s chair!

Pietro is a real character, a consummate professional and an absolute pleasure to spend time with.

I arrive looking forward to a haircut and leave with a great one, a smile on my face, and usually having learnt something new about Italy!

Highly recommended. Grazie mille, Pietro! 🇮🇹

Having my hair cut by Elsie is one of the few things that is firmly ringfenced in my diary! She has been putting up with my indecision for years now and always gives me sound advice and a super result. I trust her 100% - as did my Mum, who really liked her too. In fact I think it’s how I came to give her skills a try when she was a fairly new stylist at The Chapel. Haven’t looked back and she now also cuts and colours my daughter’s hair too. She’s a gem x

Ian spent a lot of time assessing and consulting on what I was looking for for my hairstyle. He executed it perfectly, professionally and personalby. He shared his observations about the direction of my hair growth and type and styling tips to manage the style on my own (I have never experienced this). Technically the cut appears outstanding. Sharp, trendy, edgy and manageable. He listened to the brief and delivered. A very nice person who is sincere and genuine. I enjoyed my experience with him today.
