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.

I came to Sarah with some apprehension as I had had a few very disappointing haircuts in the past, but after an initial consultation I felt totally reassured. Sarah properly listened to me, understood what I was asking for in both style and maintenance, and delivered an absolutely beautiful haircut. She gave me tips and advice for maintenance that were totally achievable and fit with my lifestyle. I just felt that she 'got' me, and I left feeling more like myself than ever with the perfect haircut. Thank you Sarah!

James has a very relaxed approach. I automatically felt very confident telling and showing my mood board of what I wanted to change. He listened very well and added his opinions too. His cut seems very good. The hair fell where it needed to and was very complimentary to my shape of face. Will def use James and recommend. Thank you Beckie for organising it last minute.
