I had an amazing experience at kudos!
I’d been bleaching my own hair since the last lockdown. It was in a bad way when I visited the salon. Dan did an incredible job of correcting this. I’m beyond happy with the result, and it really exceeded my expectations. I now have the colour blonde I have wanted for a long time and I feel so much more confident.
All the staff were extremely friendly and professional.
I’m looking forward to my next visit.
I would highly recommend!

I would recommend Kudos Hair Salon to anyone and everyone. Dan has created a salon with such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I get my hair done by Leah who is an incredible hair artist. Leah has managed to turn me from a brunette to blonde with minimal damage to my hair and i love the results every time, she listens to what I want and works with my hair type to get the best result. The staff are lovely and you can tell they genuinely love their jobs and their place of work. When i get my hair done, I watch other clients sitting in their chairs and just like me, they all walked out with smiles

I found Kudos hair through Facebook, after seeing a friends hair. I booked a consultation, Dan was very professional and knowledgable and when talking about what I wanted to achieve, was very honest about what he would be able to do.
At the hair appointment I was offered a selection of drinks, the salon is in a lovely location and the interior is beautiful. Dan was so patient and thorough with my hair, took care and time with every piece (I have a lot!!) As well as a balayage I had olaplex treatment which has rejuvenated my hair, I was so pleased that amongst the services the salon offers that

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Quality
Every time I leave the salon I feel so happy! Not only is Dan brilliant at what he does, but the atmosphere is so welcoming and it’s more than a haircut, it’s an experience. From the decor, to the advice and the products used, I can’t recommend Kudos more.

My first time at this lovely little salon and had a great experience. Lovely staff, great atmosphere and nice touches like great drinks menu and virtual magazines. Most importantly though my stylist Leah was friendly, attentive, really listened to what I wanted and I'm so pleased with the result! Thank you so much, will be back soon 😊

Moved to the area a few months ago and was absolutely delighted to find this little hidden gem behind the beach ! The Kudos crew are a professional bunch, but completely personable too. The decor is fantastic (as is the coffee!) And there is a fun and friendly atmosphere! Delighted to have my hair done by Leah - she takes time to listen to your ideas and gives constructive advice on what is possible to be created. She's really passionate about her craft and to have her customers leave happy :). Today we went for Autumnal tones and took the cut into a short blunt one length bob .love it (my photo

I absolutely love going to Kudos for my hair cut! Dan is a fantastic styler who really works with you to achieve the look you want. He comes up with ideas that really suit you and your lifestyle. Coupled with a lovely atmosphere of sitting, chatting and having a nice glass of red! As a new mum, my recent hair cut with Kudos felt like a much needed night out! Thanks guys!

Leah dyed my hair from virgin brown to orangey peach and green in one sitting. Not only is her work absolutely stunning and exactly what I wanted; she's also extremely friendly and chatty which made the 4h30 I was in the salon for really enjoyable. All the staff get on really well which creates a really positive atmosphere, which is essential if you're going to be in the salon for a long part of the day. The prices are really good value for such a big change and you can get 20% off your first appointment which really makes it worthwhile. The complementary drinks are really nice as well, definitely

I’ve been coming to Kudos to get my hair cut for the past four years now. Before that I always struggled to stay with a consistent hairstylist and was often trying out new places. I’m so glad I found Dan because he always listens to how I want my hair and he runs his business so well. He is so personable and friendly and really puts you at ease. I know I can trust Dan with anything and will be coming here for as long as I can!
