My hair was cut yesterday. A complete reshape. So far I am very happy with it, but it’ll take a while before I will know if I am pleased with as it needs to settle down. We’ll see how it performs after it is washed and it’s natural curl falls into place. Many thanks James for being a really good listener. I look forward to to several happy weeks with my hair looking good.

Alex took lots of time to discuss my hair colour concerns and gave lots of advice on generally protecting and maintaining the colour between appointments. I purchased a heat protection spray and deep conditioning mask treatment. Alex managed to fit in a trim and I left feeling rejuvenated!! Alex was very helpful with suggesting my next appointment to work with a special event.

Warm welcome by Symon who asks what I want colour wise and whether it’s possible! He is very honest and as always the colour excellent. Then had a cut with James who also discussed what is suitable for my hair type. His shampooing was so relaxing and the cut and blow dry were perfect. Really enjoyed my visit and Symon and James work so well together. The visit lifted my well being.

This was my first appointment with the chapel and it was genuinely such a fun, relaxed experience!

From the moment I arrived, I wasn’t rushed into my appointment, the girls offered me drinks, welcomed me in with so much love and customer care!!

I even had time to sit down and discuss my haircut with Pietro -which was absolutely fantastic. He took the time to listen to what I was aiming for, and 100% understood my vision. He is charming, funny, and obviously knows AND LOVES what he does! 10/10!

I look forward to seeing the team again. The experience was one of a kind and I recommend it wholeheartedly xxx

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.
