As always, totally pleased with my cut, blow dry and this time colour also. It's very special having hair done at The Chapel - it's like no other salon. All the staff are friendly and helpful - offering every type of hot drink, ginger&orange healthy shots, and as I had an afternoon appointment today, i was even offered wine!!

Really pleased - Pietro said “trust me” ! I’m growing my hair and so trusted he would cut my hair but not lose any length which he did! It’s a lovely shape now mid length and will grow into the style I want - thanks Pietro

I find it a relaxing environment from the moment I enter The Chapel. I’m greeted with a smile and offered a beverage in the comfy surroundings before seeing Nina.
Nina understands my thoughts on how I would like my hair to look and always creates a fantastic look. A good giggle, great conversations and professional. 10/10 to the team, especially Nina.

I had such an amazing experience with Nina! I really wanted to focus on embracing my naturally wavy/curly hair and have it cut and styled in a way that actually worked with my hair and suited it better.

For the first time ever, I feel like I’ve found someone who completely understood my hair and genuinely exceeded my expectations. Nina was so knowledgeable about wavy/curly hair and knew exactly how to cut and style it in a way that I absolutely loved.

She was also so helpful, lovely and welcoming throughout the whole appointment. I left feeling so happy with my hair and, for the first time, like I’ve found someone I’d absolutely choose to do my hair again. I couldn’t recommend Nina enough and will definitely be booking with her again! 🤍

Sarah is excellent- a fantastic hairstylist who I have been with for over a decade. I wouldn’t want anybody else!
Some feedback on the Chapel- the prices have risen considerably over the years. Sourcing shampoos from Italy/ artists for new artwork is good but does this increase the prices. Whilst a great venue is important- in this challenging financial climate- competitive prices and not too frequent price rises are very important factors.

Unique Experience

What a wonderful experience from start to finish.

The salon itself is set in such a unique building and has a real sense of character and style. The staff were incredibly warm, friendly and welcoming, and the whole experience felt considered rather than simply being “just a haircut.”

Even the wash basin area was fabulous — almost like stepping into a sophisticated nightclub — and the hair wash itself was wonderfully relaxing.

Pietro is a genuinely interesting character and an absolute talent. He cut and blow-dried my hair beautifully — I walked out feeling like a film star.

All the thoughtful little touches made the visit feel particularly special. I was offered complimentary mint, lemon and cucumber infused water, beautifully served in a crystal-cut glass, as well as a ginger and turmeric shot — such a lovely and unexpected touch.

It is rare to find somewhere that combines excellent hairdressing with such attention to atmosphere, hospitality and detail.
I left feeling beautifully looked after, completely relaxed and, most importantly, very special.

A fabulous, memorable salon experience. I will absolutely be returning. Highly recommended.

I can also make it slightly more **witty, glamorous and punchy** so it reads brilliantly as a Google review.

You get a lovely welcome and are offered a choice of refreshments in the waiting area - which is very chic but also cosy.

Well…..I will try and keep this short but I am just blown away by Kirsty’s colour transformation she did on me today.

She listens to every single thing I want to achieve and what I really like is that I feel so comfortable in telling her what I want to achieve without feeling silly because sometimes I do feel silly with what I say.

I absolutely love everything about the whole experience. To the lovely warm banter the staff have between one another, to the lovely hospitality and goodies that I am treated to but most of all the amazing miracle that Kirsty has performed.

This is a young woman with a lot of talent and I cannot thank the Chapel enough for me finally (after many years of other hairdressers) having the most pleasurable relaxed hair appointment and that I thank you all for
