This rock and roll duo have come to us from London where they have been for the last 16 years. They've worked for all the big names, Vidal Sassoon, Windle and Moodie, Toni and Guy and Lee Stafford before setting up their own salon, the famous The Chapel in Islington. During The Chapel years the girls partied hard with celebs, became the go to girls for Kasabian and won London Salon Of The Year.
This is a totally new treatment that delivers great smooth manageable hair for 3 to 5 months. Also formally known as the "Brazilian" or "permanent" blow dry, (NOT be confused with earlier "Brazilian Blow Drys" which used large amounts of harsh chemicals.) The Nanokeratin System is an ber conditioning treatment that reduces frizz and maximises shine.
SO happy for our gorgeous client Sian on another win for her show Peter Kay Car Share at the National Television Awards. Ladies, the statistics say that more than one third of women aged 25-61 avoid the invitation for the test, which is rising year on year. Ages of 25-29 year olds, only one out of two have been attending, these appointments take a few minutes and could literally save your life.
The North Wests most talented bridal hair stylists. Based in Chester our VIP wedding room, The White Room, is styled with a 1950s bar and vintage dressing tables. Its the perfect setting to start your special day. One of the happiest days of your life and one of the only days where it really is all about you.

Hippest joint in Chester
What can i say about this Salon.Without a doubut one of the coolest hair Salons in the North West ,as soon as you walk in the vibe is of a Salon that you would expect to find in the cooler parts of Camdem and Shoreditch or Manchester rather than a space next to an Army carreers office and above a twee art studio in Chester. The space has been cleverly thought out and has a real cooperative feel about it . I followed my long time stylist Jayne there after she rentend a chair previous at two salons that never really appreciated her artistic flair and commitment for her proffession

Hey Vain Matthew here. Just thought I would pop a little review on the the cut I recieved today. Faith was extremly professional and done exacltly as I asked. The salon has a funky yet warm tone and I will happily visit again! If anyone that reads this is switching salons like I please do not hesitateas you are in the most professional hands.

Its always daunting switching to a new salon but I can honestly say I am SO glad I found Vain!! They are not only total perfectionists when it comes to hair, they are in touch with modern trends AND are amazing value for money! Not to mention the salon is always a warm and welcoming environment. Siobhan is lovely and incredible at what she does, as are all of the other members of staff I’ve come across. If you’re thinking of booking in, DO IT! You won’t regret it 🙂

Thanks to Jo for always giving me the best hair! After years of trying to find a salon that I felt comfortable in, I can finally say that I found it with Vain. Everyone is super friendly and I love the decor and the general vibe. Good music every time I’ve been there as well.

I have had previous mixed experiences at this salon during my uni years. Decided to give them another try 5 years on from previous visits, but they were unaccommodating which was unfortunately expected for such a salon as Vain. Shame that with these hipster salons, comes the inevitable exclusivity resulting in snooty service.
They live up to their namesake, so you've got to give them that!

I don't call Siobhan's service the Taylor Loving Care for nothing. She's a natural expert in what she does! From keeping you chuckling and talking the whole way through your cut, to advising you on the style you're seeking and how best to achieve it. The only stylist I've ever trusted to do what they want with my hair as I know i'll always be leaving looking tip top xx
