Shine Hairdressing

33 High Street, West Malling, Kent, ME19 6QH

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 used to dread a visit to the hairdressers.. now I actually enjoy it! Charlie knows exactly how to cut my hair to get the best out of it. I just love the way it looks after she’s cut it, and it lasts so well too. Charlie is so lovely too, welcoming, friendly and always happy and smiley. Thank you Shine!

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!
