Customer Review Summary
Haircuts and color work from the salon's two stylists draw consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly returning for cuts, colour consultations, and patch-test-guided transformations like a switch to red hair. Several describe a recovery from a bad cut elsewhere being restored, and one diner recalls being talked through options honestly before committing to a colour change. Beyond the technical work, reviewers describe a warm, chatty atmosphere, with one mentioning being offered coffee on arrival and another noting a stylist offering to tidy up a beard unprompted. Many say they've returned for years without disappointment, citing politeness, professionalism, and feeling "at home" during visits. No recurring complaints appear across the reviews. The pattern closes on repeat customers who say they wouldn't get their hair cut anywhere else, several explicitly recommending the shop for both value and quality.

“I wouldn't get my haircut anywhere else! Paul has been cutting my hair for years and I have never been disappointed. He and Jackie are so lovely, and I always feel at home here🩷 …”

“Fantastic haircut - Paul is a master stylist and really knows his art. Jackie and Paul create such a genuine, proper East End welcome and absolutely cannot be beaten on price or quality!”
- Niall Dickson
“I absolutely love my haircut! Jackie and Paul were so friendly, there was such a warm atmosphere from the moment I walked in. My hair was cut by Jackie, who did such an amazing job. We had a lovely chat whilst she was doing my hair and she even offered to get rid of my beard for me when I mentioned that I didn't like having one. I left feeling so good and very happy with my experience. Will be going back for sure:) I would highly recommend!”

“I went so disheartened as my hair was badly cut with lawyers by a different hairdressers but reading the reviews of Chris and Pete I thought let me go and give it ago maybe they can fix my hair and I’m so happy I did as Jackie restored my hair and got it back to how it was. I felt so in love with my hair again. I left feeling healthy and happy. Both Paul and Jackie were very friendly, and the atmosphere was lovely. Jackie is a darling. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend Chris and Pete’s.”
