Thank goodness I found Sarah!

Appointment verified by salonspy

I’ve really struggled to find a hairdresser over the last few years. Having curly hair can be tricky – I’ve tried wet cuts, dry cuts, you name it – but nothing seemed to work. My curls always ended up limp, frizzy, and just… disappointing. Then I found Sarah – what a difference! She gets curly hair. She knows exactly how to cut and care for it, and for the first time in ages, I have my curls back! Beyond the amazing results, the whole experience in the Chapel salon is such a treat. From the healthy shots to the thoughtful little extras, you truly feel looked after. I always leave feeling not just happy with my hair, but totally uplifted. So glad I found Sarah – she’s a curly hair lifesaver!

Pietro has worked wonders with my hair, when I first came to The Chapel my hair was dull, in seriously bad condition and completely shapeless which was quite evident on Pietro’s face! Over the next year or so my hair is bouncy, shiny, has shape and style for the first time in my life!

I liked Pietro; he is a kind man with a good energy. That said, I am incredibly, incredibly disappointed with my haircut, and will not be returning. I told Pietro in no uncertain terms - and with reference images - what I wanted. A one to two-inch trim for a bouncy, shoulder-length style with long layers (long is something I reiterated on multiple occasions), that I could style in multiple ways (straight or blow-dried) for my return to work after maternity leave. I trusted him, and he promised to ease me in while giving me the slight restyle I required. Instead, he’s essentially cut a bob into my hair, with a long layer beneath it, and taken about four inches off the length. It looks bad and I’ve been left with a style that I hate. It looked ok when I left the chapel, but on closer inspection it’s not a haircut that I like, and looks genuinely awful when I try to style it myself. At a time when I want to feel confident in my appearance, and ready for work, I feel self-conscious and with a haircut that feels at odds with my style. I wish Pietro would have listened better, and not delivered a haircut that is his style, rather than my own.

Pietro Review

Team Member: Pietro

Appointment verified by salonspy

This review will sound somewhat cringey but very much the truth so bear with me.
Every visit to the Chapel, TW - specifically my friend Pietro, is more than just a haircut — it’s like catching up with an old friend over strong espresso, as dark as oil that usually puts extra hairs on my chest. The cut is always sharp, and spot-on, but what really sets it apart is the atmosphere. We always end up deep in conversation — life, food, sports, stories from Sicily — it’s part barbershop, part therapy, part espresso bar, part Sicily… There’s a real sense of pride in the work, and you feel it from the moment you walk in. Always leave looking good and feeling even better. Couldn’t recommend him enough. Thanks, mate.

Callum was friendly and professional as always. He checked with me if my hair had been ok since the previous cut and colour and if there was anything I wanted to change this time. I decided to stay with exactly the same colour and style as I'd had previously.
The head massage is a lovely relaxing touch when having hair washed.
I was offered hot and cold drinks and canapes.
I'm very happy with the service and will be returning again, I have booked my appointments for the rest of 2025.
