I had an amazing experience with my cut, blow dry, and style. Ola was very professional, attentive, and really took the time to understand what I wanted. The cut was precise and flattering, the blow dry gave my hair great volume and smoothness, and the final style was beautifully finished and long-lasting. I left the salon feeling confident and refreshed. I will definitely recommend her for my friends!

James isn't overly chatty when cutting my hair, but that doesn't matter because I know that by the time he has finished I will feel so much better than when I first walked into the salon. He takes great care when cutting my hair and I always know I'm in safe hands.

Appointment verified by Phorest

The Chapel is unlike any salon I've experienced. It has a level of individuality that, to be honest, is a little unnerving when you first arrive because it's so unfamiliar: the lack of exterior signage, the expansive, galleried open space, and the absence of any hairdressing happening in front of you! But there's also a genuine and quietly generous welcome from the staff, which put me instantly at ease. This was my first appointment with Sarah and I'll definitely return: she understands curly hair, she has great insights into style and management, and I really liked her calm and reassuring manner. I felt comfortable, valued, and understood. And left with my hair dressed in a way I was extremely happy with. Thank you.

I love my appointments with James - he's calm, thoughtful and technically excellent. I am always complemented on my hair after leaving the Chapel. I have, for the first time in 10 years as a client, knocked some stars off the atmosphere score because of the way some clients and staff are affecting the experience of the hair wash section which is diluting the overall salon experience.

I’ve been going o The Chapel in Tunbridge Wells for about 2 and half years. It’s unlike any other hairdressers Ive been to. Very spacious with designated zones for waiting around (lovely comfy sofas) colour, wash and blow dry/finish and Elsie is very knowledgeable and my hair has never been in such good shape/condition. I would definitely recommend a visit.
