It’s always a lovely relaxing experience having my hair done.. This time a came out with a new colour (Gienette) and was well looked after by Sophie. Nigel gave me a new style which I think really suits me. I have already had compliments about my hair from friends. Would highly recommend this hairdressers.

I just love my trips to see Nigel, Gienette and the whole team at Alnwick Studio - they make you feel like a new person when you leave! From having my colour reset by Gienette (I have been overseas for 6 months) to a fabulous haircut from Nigel, I couldn’t be happier.

Response from Alnwick Studio Hairdressing

Hi Christine,
Thank you so much for taking the time to review. We are so pleased you enjoyed coming.
Regarding Value for Money, Nigel is our most experienced stylist and therefore our most expensive. We have a range of stylists and notably Rhys for instance has charges that are more than 10% lower.
Hopefully this would make your visit’s more accessible for you.
King regards, Alnwick Studio Hsirdressing.

A lovely early evening appointment with the dream team, Sophie and Olivia. Nothing is ever too much trouble and their attention to detail is exceptional.

Whilst I’m a long time customer, there is no complacency; their standards, advice and professionalism is as high and consistent as ever.

…the absence of Nigel and Rhys’ tunes was a bit of a cherry ?

My appointment was for an initial consultation only .
I felt very much at ease and Gienette was extremely helpful . I was given suggestions about changing my colour and a skin test was advised , which I accepted.
Unfortunately due to the popularity of this salon I will have to wait until an appointment becomes available . Hopefully I won’t have to wait too long .
Looking forward to meeting the team .

I’ve been going to Alnwick Studio for 9 months and had a drastic haircut, went from fairly long to short bob. At first I couldn’t cope with the length and messaged Nigel. He was amazing and invited me back to do some tweaks and give me a lesson in how to style it. Rhys washed my hair. They both made me feel so welcome and I left the salon feeling so good and the few tweaks made such a difference. Thank you so much ?

Words cannot express how relieved I was to find this Amazing Salon. After suffering from my embarrassing post COVID hair for far too long I plucked up the courage to make my first appointment and haven’t looked back since. The whole team are not only extremely talented and knowledgeable but also very welcoming, warm and attentive. Gienetta and Nigel are great listeners and advisers and know exactly what’s needed to enable you to leave the salon feeling your best. The salon has a lovely laidback atmosphere with a dedication to cleanliness and well being using the best of products. The addition of an all day menu of delicious foods and drinks is a great bonus.
