Shine Hairdressing

About us

The business opened its doors in August 2000. Shine owner Leigh Anthony has built a reputation as a successful, leading hairstylist in Kent and believes in high quality hairdressing with excellent service.

The Core approach to our service is all about real and relaxing 'ME TIME' without compromise. We won’t be rushing off to do another guest whilst your colour processes ,your chosen stylist will be on hand for you and only you from the moment you enter the salon until the moment you leave. It's all about YOU.

We know and understand how precious your time is so we have changed things a little, from now on you pay for the time with your stylist and not set by a price list. The new pricing system will allow you and your stylist to collaborate on your hair to ensure you receive the very best one-to-one service and ultimately the very best hair possible.

The salon is situated in a two storey listed building on the High Street in the historic town of West Malling.

I’m really pleased with my cut and colour. Marie always knows what suits me and helps me make the best of my hair.
I also had a lovely relaxing treatment in the massage chair., which made my hair so shiny! I always enjoy my chats with Marie.
A friendly and welcoming salon and overall a great experience.

Helene at Shine in West Malling is amazing. I don’t colour my hair as it’s naturally multi-tonal, and she always cuts it perfectly into a blunt style so it looks its absolute best. She’s professional, friendly, and we always have a great chat during the appointment. I always leave feeling and looking amazing. Highly recommend her and Shine.

Emilie again spent time discussing my hair and gave her honest thoughts and opinions. She has been cutting and colouring my hair for well over 10 years and always shows the same interest and enthusiasm. I never feel she's being complacent and she always has fresh ideas. She is honestly the best hairdresser anyone could have!

Fabulous Colour Change, Exceptional Service

I’m a regular at Shine Hairdressers and recently visited for a complete colour change from vibrant red to a natural brunette, along with my usual haircut. This was my first appointment with India, and she was fantastic! Friendly, chatty, and highly professional, India made me feel confident discussing my hair goals. She took the time to explain the lengthy process of stripping my red colour, setting realistic expectations and being honest throughout. The transformation was a journey, but we achieved the desired result for this stage, and I’m thrilled with the outcome.
The service at Shine is always exceptional. I was regularly offered drinks and checked on during the long appointment. The salon itself is warm, inviting, stylish, and aesthetically pleasing, creating a relaxing atmosphere. All the staff are wonderful—special thanks to Claire, Charlie, Marie, Liv, Ellie, and Maddie for their friendliness and support throughout the process.
I’m already looking forward to my next visit! Highly recommend Shine Hairdressers for their top-notch service and welcoming environment.
