Best Hair Salons near me in Ardleigh, Colchester

I have been going to Alanah for nearly 10 years and wouldn't trust any other stylist or team. She takes the time to understand what her clients want and always provides her honest and professional opinion. She has done various haircuts on me, transitioning from long to short and dark to blonde, including a colour correction on my very first appointment. She is always up-to-date with the latest trends and I highly recommend her and the team.

Fabulous venue, lovely ambience and relaxing atmosphere. Always made to feel at ease and consulted about what I would like this visit. Having been a customer. Of Mane for many years, I am still treated fresh at each visit. Jenna is highly professional and has given me the confidence to try a new side length, little by little she chipped away until I was happy. I always walk away from the salon feeling a new woman, no matter who the stylist. So when my regular stylist is away on holiday I no longer fret or panic, I am confident in the ladies at Mane to give me 100% service with a smile. 😊

A last minute haircut needed for my teenage daughter and thank goodness Fiona had a space. Not only was the cut excellent on her very curly hair, but Fiona was great at explaining product use and curl care too. Highly recommended!

Sadie is a great hairdresser. She coloured mine and my son’s hair today. ⭐️ Super job. All the staff are friendly and welcoming!

Highly recommended ✨✨✨✨✨ Chloe has been colouring, hi lighting and cutting my hair for almost a year. As she has been undergoing her training, she is always under the close supervision of owner Alahnah. Chloe has gained confidence and speed during this time, resulting in a top quality pamper hair session, resulting in my hair looking and feeling absolutely amazing and of a quality you’d expect from a senior stylist

Had my first appointment with Fiona today and I couldn’t be happier with the finished results. She really too the time to listen to what I hoped to achieve and asked lots of questions to make sure we were making the right choices for both colour and cut. Feels so nice to feel listened to by my hairdresser and I’m very grateful to have been recommended seeing Fiona to correct my colour and cut. Already booked my next appointment and would thoroughly recommend to friends
