The Best Beauty Salons And Hairdressers in Bekesbourne, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Edit: Further to me posting this review, the lovely owner got in contact with me to talk through my points and offered me compensation or a free haircut and blowdry. The owner really obviously cares a lot about her business and staff and this wholly translated through this phone call - she's a really lovely lady who wanted to make things right, so I've added a well deserved star. I wholeheartedly appreciate the compensation provided to me, thanks so much for listening to my genuine review. I did want to reiterate that everyone I have had contact with at the Chair have been so lovely, my hair stylist included, and it seems I just had a rare bad experience, via miscommunication or other. Thanks to everyone at the Chair for genuinely caring and making things right. Original Review: Unfortunately I won't be coming back. My stylist was a really really lovely person and did a fabulous job on my bangs but I asked for 2 inches max off my length and at least 3-4 have been cut off my long hair. 2 inches was all I wanted at a maximum because I have very long hair and struggle to feel myself without it but wanted a refresh. I also asked for small beach waves for styling and got a princess curly hairdo instead- not me and not what I asked for at all, and I had photos in tow as an example of what I wanted and just wasn't what I got. I ended up going home and restyling it myself. The cut itself is nice (barring the extra length cut off which I'm not happy about) but for £78 I can't fathom that what I got is what I paid for. A pity, as I came here after having a few bad experiences too.

Went to The Chair today for the first time. My daughter has a very sensitive scalp and is always in a lot of pain when going to the hairdresser. I can’t remember her name, but was a young brunette young lady, my daughter’s word is the best experience she has ever had at a hairdressers. Customer service is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ she was so sweet, nice and gentle with my daughter’s scalp and she smiled all the way home because she was so happy with her hair cut n dry. Thank u and will definitely be returning

I went to The Chair 2 weeks ago and left not entirely happy, as I found many split ends after the appointment. When I left an in-depth review (3 stars) they contacted me asking if I was available for another appointment for a free cut & blow dry to fix the problem. Today I came back for my appointment and they were lovely. They really cleared up any miscommunication between me, the client, and my Hairdresser, Amber, and Amber did a beautiful job. Katie, the owner, also came and talked to me to make sure everything went well and I left with no visible split ends and a gorgeous hairstyle. Thank you so much for your great customer service The Chair!!

Having struggled for years to find a suitable hairdresser who can manage my mixed race hair I finally found The Chair. They are simply the best! They work their magic on my hair every time and make me feel well and truly pampered whilst I'm having my keratin smoothing Brazilian blowdry. I have a regular wash cut and blowdry in between treatments and my hair is now in such good condition since becoming a customer of theirs. Hair magicians! 🪄 Thank you 💇‍♀️

Since moving to Folkestone last year I was struggling to find a hair salon that could understand curly hair. After terrible experiences in two local salons I was about to gave up…until I came across Oliveira Hair. Veina was lovely and did her magic, leaving my hair feeling gorgeous. The place feels very welcoming and relaxed. I had a great chat with Eudu and her apprentice, and I’ll definitely be coming back! 100% recommended!

My first experience with Oliveira hair was absolutely lovely! Venia was very attentive to what I wanted to do with my hair and patiently gave advice on what would suit my hair the best.I started with dry and lifeless looking curls and finished with beautiful bouncy curls. The salon itself gives a nice and welcoming vibe and I thoroughly enjoyed my haircut!!! Will definitely visit again :)

Asked for Jean Seberg circa 1960 / Winona Ryder circa 1994 hair and got a pixie cut completely tailored to me. Good coffee and conversation made it a very enjoyable afternoon! I've received many compliments and it's only been a few hours since I left the salon, thank you :)

I highly recommend Oliveira. I have finally found my hairdressers and Venia is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced hairdresser. My hair is more complicated, so you need to know your stuff with thick/curly hair! Venia was very attentive to what I wanted to do with my hair and patiently gave advice on what would suit my hair the best. I started with dry and lifeless looking curls and color and finished with beautiful bouncy curls and a stunning glow to my hair, and I always get compliments. The salon itself is very welcoming and fun, and I always come out feeling taken care of.

Highlights and a cut with Jo who does the best curly blow dry! Shampooing with the most relaxing head massage. Always arrive feeling welcomed and leave feeling great. Thank you 🙏

Fantastic professional service. Holly was very knowledgeable and helped me to decide on the right highlights that look simply stunning.

My 1st visit as moved to the area and I needed to find a local family ran salon. Warm welcome, mother and daughter, both very lovely ladies. Can highly recommend.

First time at Salon Chique and I will be back. I was with Honey for eyelash tint and lift. She was very delicate and the session was super relaxing. I am very pleased with the result and will definitely have it done with Honey again.

Very happy with my cut and styling from Ben - it was my first time and this salon and I didn't get disappointed, thank you!

Had a jellyfish cut done by Ben and I’m incredibly happy with the results! The length and style is exactly what I wanted and I really felt listened to about my wants from the appointment. Highly recommend him as he was very kind and accommodating and gave me a great cut :)

Had my hair dyed by the loviest lady Elise today and I am SO impressed with the transformation of my hair!! We went from a faded out red box dye colour to a beautiful 2 tone dye with dark brown and rose gold halo. I appreciated how everything was spoken into steps, reassurance, and honesty through out the whole process of the colouring. I’m still in complete awe of the transformation of my hair, it looks great! & of course brilliant chat and chill vibes through out. Anything is possible with Elise when it comes to colouring! 10/10 ✨

Had a haircut with Elise today and cannot recommend enough! Best haircut experience I have had. Elise carefully listened to me and did my hair perfectly, and exactly how I wanted it. This was funny because where I have gone somewhere else before, they have said I couldn't get a fringe because of my cow's lick, but Elise proved them wrong and gave me the perfect wispy fringe. What made the experience even better was how she talked me through it the whole time, making sure I was happy with the cut throughout, this was really nice because most hairdressers don't do this. Overall, Elise is the best person I've gone to for my hair and I will definitely be going again. I walked out feeling like a total new me, which I loved.

“My first visit to COAH today, and I can honestly say it’s the best hairdressers I’ve ever been to! I had a consultation and haircut with Charlotte, and I was so impressed with her expertise and understanding of my long, thick hair. When I left, my hair looked incredibly healthy and shiny, and my family couldn’t stop complimenting how lovely it looked. The whole experience was fantastic – Charlotte and the lady who washed my hair were both so friendly and welcoming. They even brought me a latte and chocolate, which was such a thoughtful touch! I don’t usually write reviews, but the excellent service and results deserve recognition. I’ll definitely be a returning customer to this wonderful salon!”

Just had my hair done this evening by Dani, she was so welcoming & friendly! For someone who doesn't get their hair done very often the whole atmosphere was so relaxing! Gorgeous salon as well, it just adds to the luxury feel of it all! & ofcourse, over the moon with my hair booked back in straight away before I left!💗✨️

I’ve had the pleasure of having my hair cut by Ash for a couple of years now. Despite never knowing what I want going in, I always come out feeling more confident and much better about my hair. Happy to travel the distance every time to get my hair cut by someone who knows what I want done due to his wealth of experience.

Amazing experience again here - amazing staff and amazing work! I love it here and won’t go anywhere else. I love my new hair I am so so grateful for them all! Complimentary drinks and chocolate is always appreciated

Leah did my hair at short notice today, considering she does not know me or my hair she did an excellent job. Thank you 😊

honestly deserves the world! Leah really gets your vision and understands your hair. she recommends what’s best for you as well as how you want your haircut. Amazing customer service always telling you how she’s cutting your hair and keeping you in the loop! I love her service, will always come back here because of her!

Angelina was brilliant with my daughter who is quite shy. She put her at her ease and chatted to her throughout, so friendly. My daughter was super pleased with her har. Thank you!

Leah was fantastic. It was my first time in the salon and I was a bit nervous explaining what I wanted to someone new following a bad experience in the past. Leah asked me what I was looking for and walked me through all of the steps she was going to take, checking in with me along the way. My experience was lovely and I was very happy with the end result. I will be booking in again in the future with Leah and I would recommend her to anyone, especially if you have any anxiety around visiting a salon!

Visited Sabi multiple times for a Hollywood wax and now I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Sabi is so lovely and always makes me feel so at ease. Highly recommend to anyone!

I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a wax after meeting Sabi! I was looking for somewhere to go to have a Hollywood wax for the first time, after reading her Google reviews I was sold. Sabi really does look after you, she is friendly and kind and she does all she can to make you feel comfortable during your treatment. Sabi makes what could be considered an “intimidating” treatment a completely easy experience. I’d recommend Sabi every single time!

Went to Sabi for a deeply healing and relaxing back neck and shoulder massage. Sabi made me feel at ease and worked intuitively, checking in and providing a much needed relaxing experience 🤩

Been visiting Sabi for about a year for waxing. Wouldn’t go anywhere else! Always a pleasure and at ease when I’m with Sabi. Brilliant experience

Brilliant service. Very friendly. I had a vision of how I wanted my hair amd the lady who did it did a brilliant job. I've never liked my hair after it being cut but I'm in love with my new hair. Definitely will be going back!

I just wanted to say thank you Clarice for a fantastic hair cut. It was the first time I’d had it cut in 4 years and I was v anxious. She was lovely, incredibly helpful and made me feel so welcome and understood. All the team were fabulous. Thank you so much and will see you very soon.

Booked a last minute deal for a wash, cut and style with Thea. Thea did a pre-cut consultation to ensure she knew exactly how I wanted my hair to look. The cut was perfect and looked amazing one my hair was styled. The products used were fabulous. My hair felt and smelled incredible, so much so that it still smelled wonderful 2 days later. I called the salon and asked to purchase the shampoo, conditioner and oil and Thea popped a complimentary mousse product in the bag for me. Honestly, this is the best salon in Canterbury. I return time and time again and have never been disappointed.

Jess is an absolutely amazing stylist! She works pure magic - my hair is in brilliant condition because of her skill and attention. I have absolute confidence in her advice about colour and hair care. Jess is great at taking my vision and making it a reality. I always leave the salon looking and feeling incredible!

Lovely to meet you all today. Thank you Paris for your gentle and thorough treatment. Thank you Sarah for a great hair restyle, love it! Would definitely recommend this salon to anyone, young or old!! Easy parking and good coffee too 🤩

Honey HQ!! I won’t be going anywhere else that’s for sure!!! Sarah does my hair (and has done for about 2 years now) and all her girls are Professional, caring and welcoming, relaxing atmosphere and I come out feeling like a new me no matter what treatment I have had!! Thank you so much Sarah for such an amazing experience and gorgeous hair style and colour. Also thank you to Maisie today for doing such a fab job with my hair! 😘 😘

Amazing job by Sarah, transforming my dull light brown hair to a firy beautiful red fusion! Got chatted up at the local Co-Op straight after 🤣🤣🤣

I have visited twice in the last week and had 4 treatments. The first visit was for an exfoliating treatment followed by a full body massage with Karita. I had managed to book my treatments for the hottest day of the year but the room was a comfortable temperature and Karita made me feel at ease throughout. The products used felt very luxurious and it felt like a real treat. I went again for a facial followed by lash lift & tint with Madison. The facial was very relaxing and again such a treat! The eyelash perm & tint was the most comfortable time I've ever had this treatment. Although perming solution is never a pleasant smell my eyes weren't irritated and I didn't have any discomfort as I've had at other salons. I'm so pleased with my lashes! I was given a few samples of the products used in the facial to take home. They also offer a loyalty stamp card and when you have collected 10 stamps you receive 10% off.

I took my mum here for a birthday treat, we both had facials in the dual treatment room, the hydration sensation facial was so good the ice globe massage was my favourite part so cooling and relaxing! Stacey and Madi were both lovely, they had good product knowledge and made us both feel at ease. They even managed to fit my mum in for a wash and blow dry after so she left feeling very refreshed. Thank you will be visiting again!!

Danielle did an amazing job on my cantankerous wavy curly hair. Great cut which means I can care for it myself. She took time to find out what I would really like. She was friendly and interesting to talk to. A lovely relaxing yet professional treat. I’m coming back

This salon is just the best. Always welcoming, amazing friendly staff who are all at the top of their game. Four generations of my family enjoy the services of this salon. Always leave there feeling great whether having nails, hair or beauty treatment.
