Amazing cut, colour and blow dry. My first time at the salon and everyone was so warm and friendly. Helen is an artist she knew the exact colour and cut I needed so knowledgeable and patient with a wealth of experience. I would highly recommend visiting . I feel like a queen .

I moved into the area earlier this year and have struggled to find a decent hairdresser. Helen and her team at Quintessential have solved my problem and I am so relieved. Helen did some highlights for me which look great and the cut she did is just what I wanted - my hair now looks like it has been professionally treated and I am so pleased and relieved to have found Quintessential. I have already arranged my next appointment and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helen and her team.

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?
