I am the kind of person that gets anxiety whenever I go to the hairdressers. I have very long hair that has taken years to grow and I have always wanted that very light whitish, creamy blonde. Over the years, a couple of hairdressers have coloured my hair but never to the colour that I have wanted, each time damaging my hair for a colour I did not ask for. Many more have turned me away and said it was impossible to achieve. At last I met Philly @ David John. I have not felt this happy with my hair for many many years! Not only is this a difficult colour to do on my now fragile hair, I am also a

A lot of the 5 star reviews here are 4+ years old. I have had a very bad experience. Terrible cut, not as i asked when booking, felt extremely uncomfortable and looked worse when i left than when i entered. This looks like a professional salon but it is not.

I have been a client at David John Salon for around 4 years now and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. I have had many balayage’s, cuts and blow drys with Philly and all I can say is that I have never been disappointed. All the staff are all so lovely and helpful with tips to keep your hair healthy and hydrated.
I look forward to my haircut so much thanks to this place and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do my hair now.

I really like this salon. I'm not usually someone who frequents at one salon but this place may just do it for me . The hairdressers take their time to understand what you want and make sure you're happy. Loyal staff that have been there for years, seem to care about the work and there's a car park ! Would recommend and definitely going back .

I have been having my hair cut by Nathan at David John for the last 8 months. My hair is course, thick and grows very quickly so Nathan recommended I try a Keratin smoothing treatment. I cannot believe the difference it has made I thoroughly recommend it. My hair feels and looks much sleeker and is so much easier to manage. In my opinion it is a really good investment and I have already booked my next treatment. I love the way Nathan has taken the time to get to know my hair, continually suggesting different cuts and styling techniques to ensure I get the best out of my hair cut. It's definitely

I highly recommend David John Salon. Nathan is an excellent stylist. He gives great advice, but always listens too. Cheryl ensures the colour is just as I want it. Everyone is friendly and helpful, especially when I take forever to book my next appointment. I also take my daughters to David John and just as much care is taken with their haircuts - even when they are wriggling around. It's been great to find a salon that I want to keep going back to.

I always look forward to my salon visits. The friendly and courteous staff provide a professional and luxurious service. I enjoy the conversations with my colourist and stylist which is a refreshing change from some salons where small talk prevails. I trust my stylist completely, allowing him free rein with the scissors to adapt the style as he wishes and I am never disappointed. He is extremely conscientious and endeavours to ensure I leave the salon feeling very special. They make great coffee too!

David John is a welcome change to the usual Afro Caribbean hairdressers that I have attended for many years. I called to make an appointment and spoke to Nathan who was excited about cutting and re-styling my hair, since I have a mix of European and Afro hair. Nathan re-styled my hair and he knows how to deal with my hair type and he made me feel proud about having this type of hair, since it has been a curse all my life! The atmosphere at David John is always very welcoming, friendly and refreshing. A lovely salon that really makes you feel pampered! Nathan is now my stylist and I look forward

Nathan is my hairdresser at David John and I followed him to this salon from his last one as I knew I couldn't let anyone else cut my hair! I've been going to him for the last 10 years and would class him as a friend and not just a hairdresser. He's one of the most important men in my life! He makes you feel relaxed and gives the full salon experience easing your troubles, pampering you and ensuring you walk out feeling ten feet tall. The salon is lighter and brighter under his management and new and exciting product ranges have been introduced which cannot be bought elsewhere in Chelmsford. This
