Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the cut and colour work of one particular stylist, with the male stylist drawing the most repeat praise for honest advice on what suits a client's hair and face, and a female colourist praised for colouring and a wedding cut and colour. Another stylist is described as finding a balance between what a client wants and needs, and one reviewer on a cut and finish found a stylist who checked progress often and gave a gentle hair wash. Several mention coming for around 15 years, and prices are called reasonable or fair for Sheffield. Staff are described as friendly, quick to offer tea, coffee or a tot, and accommodating, including to a customer with a 7 week old and to appointments rearranged by opening early or staying late. One reviewer had a very different visit: a curt stylist who cut a bowl-like shape, gave no mirror view of the back, ignored three complaints about a too-hot hairdryer, and left the scalp feeling pulled and dry after a root touch up. Others close on being rebooked before leaving.

“I came here because my friend recommended it to me but I'm not happy at all with my experience (in fact i'm quite pissed) I was there for a haircut and root touch up, and the stylist (she didn't introduced herself so i don't know her name) was curt and looked like she was just trying to get the job done quickly. I showed her a style and she didn't bothered to inform me if the style would works on my hair and face type and just started chopping things up. It looked fine when it was wet but when she dried it I noticed my hair just look like a bowl, i asked if she could gives more layer so it doesn't look at bulky but she just told me i have to cut the top part then and i said okay but she just left to fetch someone to do the root touch up, she didn't even give me a mirror to show how the cut looks from the back either. The root touch up colour looks fine (from the front again i was not given a mirror to see the back) but i can feel how my hair pulls at my scalp everytime i move immediately after i went out of the salon because it was so dry. I used lots of hair treatment when i reached home so my scalp and hair is fine now. Also when the stylist was drying my hair the heat on the hair dryer is too strong it hurts my scalp and i told her three times and she just said "sorry" off-handedly but did not change the temperature (it continues to hurt my scalp so bad that i had to rub the burning feeling with my fingers in the middle) I paid £81 for the haircut and root touch up and i'm gonna have to pay more to fix this haircut mess, but it's okay i consider the money loss as throwing my bad luck for the rest of the year, my advice just stay away from this salon if you don't have good luck like me (unlike my friend) and got matched up with one of their unfriendly stylist”

“Went in for cut and finish. Grace was super attentive and frequently checked with me on the progress to make sure it was what I wanted. Hair wash was gentle and comfortable. Price was fair. Would definitely recommend.”

“I've been having my hair done at Brownes for the last 15 years. Holly is so talented and always does an amazing job colouring my hair. I've lived around the world and I've never found anywhere that matches the quality of service. Now I'm based in London I make the effort to travel to Sheffield to Brownes to get my hair done. Holly did my colours and cut for my wedding last year. I would 1000% recommend!”

“Hollie is my go-to person when I am getting my hair cut. I always struggle between what I want and what I need. She finds a really good balance and gives the best advice every time! I have always been happy when I leave the salon. The prices are great for Sheffield, and I have always been satisfied with the service.”
- Amy Williams
“I've been coming here for years and I love my hair afterwards every time. Hollie is lovely and always does a fab job with my thick and unruly hair. I came here today with my 7 week old and everyone was very accomodating and made the experience easy. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else! Thanks team, Amy xx”
