At Genesis we are devoted to you, and finding unique cuts, colours and styles that express your true glamorous and confident self. That is why the first thing we ask a guest is not how they want to look - but how they feel. We understand that true beauty radiates from inside out, and this simple question is the key to ensuring that each guest leaves us not only looking great but glowing with a self-assurance that only comes from feeling like you are at your very best.
We achieve this at Genesis by delivering our unique experience based on our dedication to non-stop training, development and evolution of every team member, thus ensuring an engaged stylist totally focused in delivering specific education for our guests wants and needs, specialised services as well as tailor made treatments.

Customer service can't keep up with prices. I've been here a few times before and have been pretty pleased although the last couple of times the hairdresser has been a bit rushed and left me sitting on my own quite a bit (£90 and 4 hours in the salon for cut and root touch up). I called to book an appointment, got a time pencilled in and was told I had to pay £60 a deposit for the appointment. I was told that the system wasn't working for taking payment so would I be able to come in before the appointment to make payment in person. I said that was fine but I wouldn't be able to come in to make

I’ve had a haircut there before and a couple of their girls are good from 3/4 ago but the majority of them now are incredibly rude -especially manager - and they lack serious customer care skills. Going to a hair salon, like with all beauty salons, should be a pleasant and relaxing experience and this one gets an F minus on that aspect. Def not going back.

Love having my hair done here. All the staff are super friendly and my hairdresser Rosie does a fabulous job every time. I give her licence to do what she wants with a basic idea and she smashes it everytime! Can't fault it. Special mention also for Frankie, for her uniqueness and hair colour inspiration!

I absolutely love Rachel. She is amazing. I like to change up my colour and she kills it every time. I get stopped and asked about my hair regularly. She's professional and knows what she's doing. Each consult makes me feel like I've been heard. If something isn't going to work she let's me know and we work together to find a great solution.
The salon is clean and everyone is very friendly. Amazing coffees. A+ salon.

I was recommended Genesis by friends and was very happy with the move. I settled on Rachel who has a similar hair type to mine. She's knowledgeable and honest about what's best and having taken her advice on hair care products, cutting and colour over the last few years, my hair's in the best condition it's ever been. I look forward to my salon appointments!

Since moving from my previous hairdressers, I have been so much happier. Rachel really listens to what you want and will also give her own honest, expert advice as to what to do with your hair. She is great at matching the colours I ask for. All the staff are so happy and friendly and it is a place you can relax and have a great chat xx
