Kate Bloom Hair and Beauty

This is a review for Chris at Kate Bloom. He is a brilliant hairdresser who has fixed my hair disasters twice now. He is so lovely and explained every step of the process. Best Balayage and cut I have ever had!I will continue going to him with no more box dye accidents and will happily recommend him to my friends :) Thank you very much x

0 star for my first visit, the worst salon experience I’ve ever had.When my stylist started to wash my hair, I immediately regretted that I chose this salon. It was real torture as he was extremely careless and rough. Not only did he get shampoo all over the left side of my face but he splashed my face quite a few times. I saw him at one point during the shampoo and he wasn’t even looking at my head.He started to cut my hair but during this process his loud Apple Watch notifications went off 4 times right next to my ear. Each time he stopped his hand and checked the notification. I could not believe he then complained to me that his insurance company doesn’t stop sending emails. Why would you do that when you are serving a customer, maybe TURN IT OFF?He also brutally combed and brushed the back of my neck countless times which was unbearably painful and gave me red, sensitive skin afterwards.The finished haircut was nothing like the length I specified (lip line slightly graduated bob) and it was even longer than my jawline. I mentioned that it looks much longer than the length we agreed on and politely asked if he could take off some length from sides. His response was ‘I could but I would also have to cut the back again’. At this point I wanted to get out ASAP so said it’s ok to lose some angle/graduation. He then unenthusiastically started to cut my hair…freehand. He did not make it much shorter but only destroyed the shape and clean edge so each side now has visibly different lengths and some longer bits sticking out.After I went home I checked back on their website and it turned out they had booked me in for a Premier Stylist-I specifically asked for one of the SENIOR Stylists when I made the booking. I am extremely shocked this whole experience was provided by the highest level of the stylists there. I had to laugh when I showered because there was quite a bit of leftover shampoo, the left side of my face was covered in lather. It’s been a few days and my hair is basically looking worse than pre-haircut. I totally feel ripped off and disgusted so I would not recommend this salon to anyone.

It's difficult to trust someone new with your hair, but everyone here at Blooms is excellent. A modern, clean salon with top notch products and expert, friendly stylists.

Always fabulous service at Kate Bloom. Fantastic Kerastraight treatment works really well with my hair. Great condition after treatment and smells wonderful. Thanks so much!

Thought i would try it out because of the amazing reviews. Very friendly however not the result I was expecting. I booked for a cut wash and dry which I paid the price that was on the website however when I got there they said that I only booked for a wash and style and they didn’t have enough time to cut my hair. When my hair was finished it was nothing special.

Chris was as always, super welcoming and made me feel really calm, he talked me through every step and made sure I was completely comfortable and had complete control at every step, offering breaks where possible. I left the salon after chris had worked his magic with so much more confidence and healthy beautiful hair.I still have anxiety around having my hair done so when Chris moved salons, I moved with him as he was someone I trusted and he’d made me feel so comfortable even if I wait nearly a year between haircuts and my hair is in dire need of a refresh, chris is always completely non-judgemental about this and encourages me to book in as and when I feel ready.

Libby is the MOST amazing stylist I’ve ever had, I used to hate the hairdressers and now I love going. My hair always looks fabulous, she is such a talent. All the other staff at Kate Bloom are all super friendly and chatty - an all round great experience!

This review is for Chris at Kate Bloom, he has been doing my hair for a number of years now and there is nothing I wouldn't trust him to do! He has always cut and coloured my hair perfectly and I am always so so happy with the finished result! I would highly recommend him, he is friendly and always recommends great products for my hair too. I will continue to go to Chris for all my hair needs!

Honestly couldn’t recommend enough! Chris always does my hair, he makes me feel at ease and absolutely smashes it every time. He always styles it perfectly whether that is straight or with curls. I moved over an hour away and went to a salon closer, but had a bad experience so came back, it is worth the drive! All the staff are so friendly, and they even let my dog in the salon!
