I’ve seen Pietro three times now because I simply would not trust anyone/anywhere else to do my hair as well as he does. I always ask for some fun layers and he always knows exactly what I want!

Everyone is kind and friendly, I look forward to every booking I make. Thankyou!!

I have been visiting The Chapel for nearly five years, I love the atmosphere when you arrive, it is a warm welcoming feeling, I often arrive early but that’s never a problem I can comfortably sit and wait, usually with a tasty latte!
I have had the same stylist, Rhys, I feel more of a friend than customer. He always cuts my hair exactly how I ask, I feel like if I asked for something impossible he would tell me. I trust him implicitly and don’t even really watch, we are usually chatting about our love of Vinted. I’ve never had a problem but feel like if I did I would be comfortable to talk to Rhys.
I like that I can talk about products without feeling pressured to purchase.
I always have a great haircut, but for me it’s the whole experience.

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!
