I had an amazing haircut with Callum — I was really nervous about making such a big change, but the whole experience was so pleasant and reassuring. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and the glass of wine offered made it feel like a real treat. I’m so happy with the result and would highly recommend!

A great new short haircut this morning for an older woman. Thanks Scott. He read the signs and we talked through the style and it's happened. Easy to maintain - no blowdry and a little conditioner and oil through the fingers. A younger look - what's not to like.

Love love love my hair! Not only did I feel my hair looked and felt fabulous when I left, it looks great when I put it up and when I first wake up even (weird never had that?!). Rhys is a hair wizard and also an absolute pleasure to hang out with for an hour.
Love the salon, felt very at home and completely looked after from even before I arrived (even booking in; they took the time to understand what I wanted from my cut)

Firstly - I love the building, and the layout / decor / ambiance.
James was fabulous! He asked about and listened to my thoughts and preferences and gave great input that led to a joint decision on what style to ‘go for’.
Apart from that, he was a pleasure to chat to throughout the appointment.
I am extremely happy with the end result.
The Chapel certainly is a cut above the rest…excuse the pun! 😄.
