Fabulous hairdresser! As a new client Michelle was sure to talk about my hair with me, what I have had done previously,... how my hair picks up the colour, plenty of things to ensure for the best outcome. Michelle understood me wanting to keep the length in my hair and only took a minuscule amount off in my trim, fantastic! The other team members where lovely too.read more

Totally honest and professional, she advised me exactly what I needed to correct the colour and condition of my hair. Her knowledge and approach instilled absolute confidence in me and she explained each step of the correction in detail. I can’t believe how much she achieved in one appointment - I am utterly thrilled. She is an absolute star, incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly.

Just been to the hairdressers for first time in many years and was made to feel so welcome. I picked this salon by the... 5 star reviews and I'm so pleased I did. My stylist was Michelle and she made me feel so relaxed. She asked what style I wanted and explained how to manage my style. She was so informative and instead of just a straight forward cut and blow dry I have come out feeling like a new person. The salon itself is beautifully decorated with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. All the stylists seemed to be very friendly and i would just like to say a big thank you to Michelle. Xxread more

All staff are absolutely lovely. Really friendly, even asked if I would like a cup of tea. Before I had my hair cut... Nicola sat with me and consult myself over my hair type and what I wanted. She sat and listened and looked at my hair and gave it a good cut and style. Even told her about my scalp condition and she was so professional and explained she had seen all conditions before and there was nothing to be worried about which relaxed me.read more

I’ve been going to Emma for all my beauty treatments for about a year now, and couldn’t recommend her enough. My... gel nails, every time, are spot on with no chipping or lifting for weeks on end. Emma is meticulous with her work and has a fantastic eye for detail, which ensures perfection every single time I have been in. Apart from nails, Emma also does waxing and brows for me and again, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.read more

I initially came to the salon for an appointment with Emma the beauty therapist. As I have been her client for many... years at her previous place of work.

I would not go anywhere else and would highly recommend her to anyone. I now also have my hair done by Michelle who is also an exceptional stylist as my hair is particularly hard to handle. I would recommend the salon to anyone. Five stars ⭐️ all round. Well done girls xread more

Visited Kitui after commencing chemotherapy but before I had actually lost my hair. On meeting Nicola, any reservations... I had about having to choose a suitable wig were soon forgotten. Nicola was so friendly and empathetic whilst remaining professional. I felt completely at ease and trusted her advice. Having chosen a couple of alternative styles I returned to see Nicola the following week. The actual wig I chose was in fact what we originally thought was the best choice but it was good to try alternatives! I was so pleased with the wig and felt confident wearing it that I kept it on and made a trip to the shops! My hair actually began to shed two days later and within four days I had it all removed so I got the wig just in time! Finally, if anyone needs to have a consultation regarding wigs don’t be in the least bit hesitant in making an appointment with Nicola at Kitui. I can not recommend her highly enough.read more

Very helpful, friendly service and the help and support you get is fantastic. Very understanding and lovely staff. A... great service for people going through the traumatic experience of losing your hair. Would recommended Kitui to anyone going through this. My wig is so much like my usual hair colour and style and my family say you can barely tell the difference and its like I'm not even wearing one. 5***** from me! Carolread more

This place is Champagne Gold, absolute perfect salon. Roomy, clean, posh, what a place. They even serve green tea. Had... a great hair wash by Annabelle, and a great hair cut by Nicola, both girls were friendly, bubbly and made you feel relaxed and at home. I’m a 38 year old guy so I don’t usually get excited by going for a haircut, but this a place not to missed. As that famous actor once said, I will be back.read more

Thank you so much to Nicola for my experience and new hair cut! I was in need of some expert advice of what to do with... my hair - having finished chemotherapy earlier this year, I had lost a lot and now had both lots of new short hair as well as some longer hair that I'd managed to keep. Nicola was lovely and I really felt she listened to me during my consultation. We discussed what my options would be and decided to go for an edgy short cut, keeping some of the longer lengths in a side swept style. Nicola was great at advising me how to get the look at home. I'm so happy with the result and have had plenty of compliments for the quality of the cut and style. The salon is modern and welcoming and I couldn't recommend Nicola enough!read more
