Had waxing with Nour today. I’ve been a regular waxer for years but this was my first time at Blake’s. Had to write a review because I was so impressed. Nour was extremely thorough and took her time to give an excellent treatment. Not rushed or slapdash (I’ve experienced that in other salons), and even relaxing at times. I don’t usually expect waxing to be relaxing! Definitely coming back and would highly recommend Nour.

Both my mother and myself used this hairdresser in the past but would not go back.
Very expensive, poor styling and they drenched my mother who is elderly with co-morbidity conditions and reduced her to tears.
They refused to admit wrong doing. We did go back but with covid 19 I now dye my own hair and my mother's we do a far better job of it and cut each others hair.
Once covid ends I will be going elsewhere. Don't recommend.
Not worth the money. Not that good. Certainly not professional.

Have been going to Blakes for a good few years now and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I go there for my hair, nails, any waxing I get done, and massage appointments and every time it's a fantastic… experience.
All the staff are lovely, I always feel so welcome and well looked after - every visit without fail. They're one of the main reasons I don't want to move away from the Canterbury area!

I have been a client at Blake’s Hair and Beauty for many years. The salon is full of lovely, welcoming and friendly staff who will go out of their way to help and to make you feel comfortable. They tolerated my moaning when I was heavily pregnant and at their doorstep asking for a blow dry every other day, they issued a special certificate when my daughter’s hair was cut for the first time, and they never charge for a service if it’s your birthday! There are often cakes on the go as well! I once made a comment on how lovely they were and when I got home I found a recipe sent to me by text

Seems pleasant group. Hopefully can sort my hair colour....
I've tried this hairdresser again and am more pleased than the 1st visit. A senior stylist explained in detail why my hair won't pick up on silver root tones.
I a nice cut. Not exactly what i asked for, but it looks better. Maybe slightly over priced at £71 but it was re style not just a cut.
Reduced my star rating. I used the website for this hairdresser on Saturday morning to book an appt for Monday. 0 communication. The next Wednesday the receptionist called me to tell me that the appointment for the previous Monday had gone !!

Very friendly and understanding hairdressers offering a professional service and always a warm welcome. Anyone from the team is happy to step in and help. Mike and Elsie thank you.
Last week I went in for a hairdo as I was going to a Christmas party. Aaron did an amazing job. My hair looked very sleek and elegant and the look lasted a lot longer than anticipated. Great job, thanks again 😊

I don't often walk away from the hair dressers feeling like my hair reflects what I wanted, but half the charge here is for the good people who respect the service of ensuring you leave smiling. Was recommend Mike by a professional but he was understandably busy, however Chelsea seemed equally skilled with the scissors aswell a lovely one to natter with.

I visited yesterday, I haven't been to the hairdressers for years, and having never had a colour put on my hair I was extremely anxious about going....Alice was amazing, put me at ease and cut and coloured my hair exactly how I wanted it! Very happy. Thank you so much, will definatly return and recommend to friends. 😍

The team at Blake’s went above and beyond to make myself, mother and sister-in-law feel beautiful, pampered and relaxed in the lead up to a family wedding. Huge thanks to all involved with all our hair and make-up, your attention to detail was impeccable and your relaxed, warm and friendly customer service was second to none. Thanks again!

If you’re looking for professionals who know what they’re doing and have amazing customer service, I cannot recommend Blake’s enough! Everyone there is friendly, and if you’re struggling to find free time to go/ would rather book online YOU CAN! Their online booking is a dream for when you have a really busy week and don’t have time to go back and forth looking for an appointment!! Canterbury has a fair few salons but I have to say Blake’s is the best so far!

First visit to this salon, and certainly not my last. Fabulous attention to detail, from the warm greeting at reception with the kind offer of some delicious carrot cake & coffee, to an honest & illuminating consultation, followed by a wonderful shampoo, head massage, cut & blow dry from Mike. Thank you. I'm already looking forward to my next appointment, for colour enhancement, in a few weeks time!
