I just need to say Kerry had went above and beyond for me and my hair. My hair was a complete nightmare and she turned it around. She made me feel comfortable and listened to what I wanted. Thank you so much for making my hair experience worth the wait my hair is in the works of where I want it to be, your professionalism is what will keep me coming back. You really are the best!

After being highly recommended, I decided to book my mum in for a haircut and colour. So we specifically booked her in with the most senior stylist and emphasized on this. Firstly, she was told to pop in for a colour test on her hair and then 5 days later was told to pop in again for a skin test just in case of an allergic reaction. Two days later, she turned up early for her appointment and a young man started working on her hair. She got her hair cut and then as the stylist was blow drying her hair, she questioned whether she was suppose to get her hair dyed before it being blow dried. After

If you have fine straight hair then this would be a great salon but if you happen to have thick curly hair than this isn’t the place for you. I really wanted to like The Vanilla Room. It’s local to me and I really like the vibe of the salon however despite trying this place four times and seeing two different Art Directors, my experience hasn’t been great. They just don’t seem to have the understanding or experience of cutting thick, curly hair. When booking my appointment, I made sure that I requested for someone who had experience cutting my hair type and I was assured that they were

Excellent hair salon in Hornchurch. Received a wonderful haircut yesterday from Kirsty, who was professional, friendly and incredibly skilled. It was my first visit to The Vanilla Room, on recommendation from my mum and sister who have been going there themselves, and I’ll certainly be making it my new hair salon. I really enjoyed my experience and felt relaxed and looked after - I felt I had received a real treat, which is exactly what I had hoped for. The salon have worked incredibly hard to ensure that their customers feel safe and at ease in the salon environment during these times, which

I have been going to the Vanilla Rooms for many years now and Kerry and her team always provide a professional and friendly service. Despite the challenges of covid Kerry has gone over and above to ensure clients feel safe. Nice touches like private room availability for those who are vulnerable or feel anxious about visiting the salon post lockdown, a bespoke coat hanging facility, plastic visas whilst at the wash basin and disposable cups so you can still enjoy a drink. I will always be grateful to Kerry who was so caring and compassionate when I lost my hair due to chemo; her expertise was invaluable

I have been going to The Vanilla Room for a little while now and I absolutely love the staff and customer service at this salon! Everyone is super friendly and professional. I started coming here as my hairdresser moved to this salon and I can see why she would! Cannot wait for it to be safe enough for salons to reopen!! :)

I am just writing to inform you that I had a great first experience at your salon. Before I even arrived, the receptionist listened to concerns I had and made my appointment longer which was really appreciated.
I had Katie as my stylist, who has done a fantastic job. She really listened to what I wanted and had a good balance of giving advice alongside listening to the client's views. My hair feels much lighter and healthier now than it did before my haircut! Her finish was also brilliant. I have a lot of hair and usually a bouncy blow dry leaves me looking like a poodle, but Katie really took

I have been using the Vanilla Room for many years now and never disappointed. Friendly, efficient and professional. I am so sorry they cannot open at the moment, but I will be first through the door when they can open. I used the Vanilla Rooms when they opened last time and never felt unsafe. A great system for safetly and so clean. I am an older client and never felt apprehensive. I can't wait to get back there and see the lovely team again.

After having a nightmare visit at another salon, I had trouble trusting hairdresser's with my hair. I visited The Vanilla Room around 3 years ago now and it's safe to say I wouldn't go anywhere else now. George is a superstar, she is just the perfect hairdresser. All of the staff are friendly, welcoming and professional. The way they have adapted during the past year is outstanding, I can't wait to visit them when lockdown is lifted and see them all. If you're thinking of changing hairdressers you should visit TVR and in three years from now you'll be writing a review like this because they truly
