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.

First visit post lockdown, simply put, what a complete joy! Cat and the girls welcomed me like a long lost friend. There was no change to the usual exceptional standards in the salon and the extra COVID secure measures in place took all the stress away. Perfect!

Colour correction and cut

A very positive first experience at Shine this morning. Chloe did an amazing job. She listened to everything I said, reassuringly consulted with me every step of the way, putting me at ease from the moment I came in. She has carefully and skilfully begun to correct my colour and the cut is beautiful. I look forward to seeing her again in September to continue the journey towards a colour I would like and I have every faith that Chloe will achieve this based on her work today.

Liv was just amazing, she managed to transfer my hair from an awful brown/red to a gorgeous blonde. She did an incredible job after I used many box dyes. Feels very safe with all new safety measures put in place

Quality 'me' time

Leigh and the team have really thought about everything to make the salon experience as safe but still as enjoyable as possible. By paying 'by the hour' for your appointment time, you get a much more personable experience with your stylist so you still feel like you're getting the quality 'me' time as before. The stylists are stars, as per, taking precautions with PPE, sanitising stations and even cleaning the seats after every client to ensure our safety. Thank you Cat for making me feel amazing for a few hours!

As this was my first visit to Shine I wasn’t too sure what to expect but Charlie put me at ease immediately. She gave me good advice on how to repair my hair colour and I am very pleased with the way she has cut and blow dried it today. Loved the back massage while having my hair washed! Looking forward to my next appointment. The salon is also large enough not to feel threatened by the current circumstances and the stylists are all wearing PPE visors.

Slightly worried about my first appointment after lockdown but the one way system, temperature check, lashings of anti bac gel, sterile equipment pack and spotless branch, made it stress free. Lorraine turned me from “Cousin it” to a real person, relaxed and feeling great. Couldn’t recommend the Team enough.
