Top class advice & client engagement.

Top class awareness regarding what it takes to advise a new client & ensure positive outcomes all round. Best salon experience I’ve had since I had my hair cut & coloured by London hair color specialist Daniel Galvin, decades ago.

Insightful, sensitive accurate reading & interpretation of my personality & how important it is for a hairdresser to have awareness, understanding & empathy in order to build client confidence & ensure positive client experiences & creative outcomes. London quality salon at South Shropshire prices. What’s not to like?

Everyone was so lovely and Grace & Becky did a fab job on my hair. I love it and weeks later I keep getting compliments about it. Used to go to a different salon but service and staff are by far better at Quintessential! Friends and family noticed straight away that I switched salon before I even said anything, they said they saw a huge difference in my hair. I was particularly impressed with the haircut Becky gave me, when you have short hair it’s so hard to find someone good and I was slowly starting to hate my hair, but the time and attention to detail Becky put into the haircut really made a difference and I fell in love with my hair all over again. Really pleased I finally found the right salon for me! Thank you so much

Excellent hair cut as always, my toddler (aged 2) has had many now with Becky who always engages with him throughout making him feel at ease and after having his hair cut, gives him a biscuit which ends his experience with a treat.
