Crook Ralph
Ralph Crook Hair is a family business which first opened its doors in Inverness on 7/7/77. We are an exclusive salon and our clientele is extensive and varied. The salon offers a wide range of Aveda products and services extending from specialist training and the very latest in hair technology. Aveda is the art and science of pure flower and plant essences.

This organic product is very much at one with Ralph Crook who has for many years followed practiced yoga and Ayurvedic thought, which roughly translates as 'knowledge of long life'. Hair Care is not an accessory, its your identity. The way you treat your hair - how you cut it, style it, care for it - helps communicate who you are.
Services

Fantastic Aveda salon in the heart of Inverness. Probably the best hair cut and colour I’ve had in years. Wonderful, friendly team!

5 star service. I love the Aveda products and colour and was glad to find a salon in town since moving back to Inverness. Lisa is an excellent colourist, really friendly and professional and great with blonde hair. Already booked my next appointment and would definitely recommend :)

If there was an option for zero stars, I would have chosen that.
The stylist, who I believe is the son of the founder knows nothing about customer service. I found him very full of himself, rude and arrogant. However incompetence is actually the best word to describe my experience of this Salon. Right from the off, he did not listen to the description I gave of my hair's history and my lifestyle needs nor try to offer a solution for my hair. All I can say is that the stylist must lack the skills, confidence in his own ability and capacity to problem solve, so he covered it up with arrogance

This is an excellent hairdressers but very, very pricey.


I have to confess that's it's been a while since I was there last simply because after a 2-hour car journey to reach the salon (although I live 100 miles away, Inverness is my nearest large town)
I arrived in good time but was still sitting waiting for my hairdresser to turn up which he eventually did, some 45 minutes later.


He was an excellent hairdresser but on reflection, I think they might have offered me a discount for my lengthy wait!


I hope things have changed, but do keep an eye on the prices. There is a tariff

This is really well run family business which does pretty much everything it can to offer a fantastic service to its clients.
The staff are extremely helpful and can't do enough for you.
The salon is really clean and well laid out but its the little extras that they offer that really make your visit.
Things like the free head therapy (massage) that you get before your haircut is all part of the service; the music they play is just so appropriately relaxing for the place.
I always have Ralph as my stylist and his really relaxing and professional approach just lets you know that you are in the
