I arrived looking like I had been dragged through a hedge backwards and upside down. Pietro performed miracles and my hair looks amazing. Great conditioning, great cut - super short but perfect for the summer. We discovered my hair has turned silver underneath all that growth and wow! It looks really impressive. Pietro encourages his clients to jump in, to explore what's possible, with vision, with heart and with so much soul. The result? Bingo!

Sarah always does an amazing job in colouring my hair so that it enhances my natural hair colour. She is expert at covering the white that is creeping in with sun-kissed highlights - so much better given that I am not ready to accept my age! The head massage is amazing and so relaxing - who knew hair washing could be so therapeutic, especially as the natural hair products smell incredible - it is like being in a field of flowers. And the cut & blow dry are always perfect. I have never left the salon anything other than delighted.

Symon was recommended to me by a friend and I can’t tell you how pleased I am that he was.
I first went to Symon at The Chapel in 2017. Symon is by far the best colourist that I have ever seen. I have light brown hair and get highlights to cover up my grey hairs.
It is always a pleasure seeing Symon, he is more like my friend than my stylist.
I highly recommend him.

Hairdressing experience like no other

My first visit to The Chapel in Tunbridge Wells was exceptional. Discreetly tucked away with no external signage, you’d never guess it’s a salon from the outside. Inside, the spacious interior features soft seating and breakout areas that feel nothing like a traditional hairdressers.

What truly sets this place apart is how genuinely the staff connect with clients - you’re not just another appointment. Rys took time to understand exactly what I wanted to achieve, considering both practical needs and aesthetics. As a master cutter with twenty years’ experience, his skill shows. Even my husband, who rarely notices haircuts, commented that mine looked rejuvenating.

I left feeling uplifted not just by my new look, but by the salon’s caring atmosphere and positive ethos.
