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.

Liv extension service

Another amazing visit with Liv today for my extension service! She’s always so friendly, informative, and professional and my cut looks fantastic too. I honestly wouldn’t have tried extensions without Liv’s expert advice, but I had them fitted almost a year ago and it’s the best decision I’ve made. They’ve completely transformed the front of my hair, adding thickness and covering the areas that never seemed to grow well. I couldn’t be happier and always look forward to my shine visits!
