Customer Review Summary
Extensions and colour work draw repeat praise, with reviewers highlighting balayage, a complete colour change, and extension refits described as looking natural and comfortable with no irritation. Close behind, several clients single out one stylist for cuts, saying her attention to detail left hair healthier, more stylish, and easier to manage, while others credit a different colourist for prioritising hair health through extensions and shade changes. Nervous first timers repeatedly mention being put at ease and fitted in warmly, including one client fit in last minute and another welcomed alongside a baby at appointments. The massage chairs at the wash basins get a specific mention as a nice touch. No complaints or service issues appear across the reviews. Multiple clients describe becoming long term regulars, with one noting six months of continued visits for extensions and colour, and several saying they now would not let anyone else near their hair.

“I can’t recommend Athina’s enough, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! I’ve been a client for years, and the salon is always so warm, welcoming, and comfortable. Athina is an absolute colour queen—no matter what look or shade I’ve asked for …”

“I was a little nervous as it was my first time at Athina's but there was nothing to worry about. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional. Athina is an incredible hairdresser who listened to what I wanted before the cut and I couldn't be happier with the end result. I will now be a regular customer.”

“Amazing experience as always with Poppy. She does an amazing job with my hair and I always leave feeling happy and confident. She is an absolute delight; always bubbly and kind and makes the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend her!”

“Came to Athina's on recommendation from my friends who are also regular clients as my previous hairdressers were reluctant to book me in for just cut appointments. I do the bare minimum to my hair, I get it cut every 8 weeks and I don't blow-dry, style or colour it. Poppy was incredibly welcoming from the very start, I feel we've built such a good rapport, which I've never really been able to do anywhere else. I've also had to take my baby in a couple of times for appointments and everyone at Athina's was so accepting and happy to have them there. I'm now able to come alone again and feel comfortable in Poppy's very capable hands to start adding colour to my hair again after many many years (I'm super excited about this!) If you want a relaxed, welcoming environment to have your hair done, I really recommend Athina's. P.S. they have AMAZING massage chairs at the hair wash basins - 10/10”
