Blakes Hair & Beauty Canterbury

Canterbury, Kent

I can’t rate this salon highly enough. I had a disastrous colour at another Canterbury salon, where I went from blonde to mud/khaki (obviously not what I’d asked for!). The same day, I called Blakes in distress and explained; the super friendly receptionist got me in immediately (within 15 minutes), where I had a consultation with Mike, who took hair strands to test for colour removal. He also gave me a temporary toning rinse, free of charge, before I could come back for a full colour correction in two days after a skin test. I had a 5 hour appointment today with amazing Annie, who stripped out all of the hideous previous colour and restored my blonde - it is what I wanted originally, and more. Thank you, thank you, thank you Annie and Mike - I am so happy with my hair and will never go anywhere else for colour ever again! The service at Blakes is exceptional.

What a complete asset Grace is! I feel I could call her my friend. She is utterly professional, attentive and personable, but above all, Talented. Grace is intuitive in her work and makes me feel totally confident that I am in safe hands. Every time Grace does my hair I comment that it has never looked so lovely, then I return and she surprises herself. Thank you so much Grace, Blakes is very lucky.

Hi It was my first visit to the salon on 28th July. Great service, great haircut and thank you Mike for looking after me and cutting my hair just how I like it. Already booked to come back again. Janine

I had my first appointment at Blakes after my previous hairdresser of 40 years retired. I was nervous. I was thrilled by the results. The lovely Kirstie performed a miracle, great colour, good cut and lovely healthy looking shiny hair. I was made to feel very welcome. Lovely people working there. Didn't hesitate to book my next appointment!

A fantastic hairdressers lovely staff always welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. Annie is a brilliant she has completely changed my hair it looks so much more healthy thanks to the products that they sell and fabulous colour as recommended by her. My son also has he’s hair done there he is 10 and was very nervous of hairdressers but at Blakes he is happy relaxed and he’s hair looks brilliant. Can’t fault it. Five stars ⭐️

I've been going to Blakes to have my hair done for many years and I highly recommend it! Lovely staff always feel well looked after, Thank you to Chelsea who colours and cuts my hair regularly we have a lovely chat on every visit.

I went here today for hair products for a family member. All the staff was really helpful and polite. As I don't know anything about hair products they explained everything they had in great detail. ​ Very knowledgeable people ​ Thanks

Professional stylists.​ Experienced staff.​ Competitive rates. Central location​. Excellent parking nearby.

i go here every 6 week's Fabulous hairdressers with excellent customer service

A lovely hairdressers with even lovelier staff, whenever either myself, my husband or my two children go to Blake’s the level of service is exceptional and all the staff are personable and professional, I always feel comfortable and relaxed and trust their advice, thank you ?

Very friendly and understanding hairdressers offering a professional service and always a warm welcome. Anyone from the team is happy to step in and help. Mike and Elsie thank you.

If you’re looking for professionals who know what they’re doing and have amazing customer service, I cannot recommend Blake’s enough! Everyone there is friendly, and if you’re struggling to find free time to go/ would rather book online YOU CAN! Their online booking is a dream for when you have a really busy week and don’t have time to go back and forth looking for an appointment!! Canterbury has a fair few salons but I have to say Blake’s is the best so far!

have been a client at Blake’s Hair and Beauty for many years. The salon is full of lovely, welcoming and friendly staff who will go out of their way to help and to make you feel comfortable. They tolerated my moaning when I was heavily pregnant and at their doorstep asking for a blow dry every other day, they issued a special certificate when my daughter’s hair was cut for the first time, and they never charge for a service if it’s your birthday! There are often cakes on the go as well! I once made a comment on how lovely they were and when I got home I found a recipe sent to me by text.

Get morning getting my hair done. Arraon,was very helpful in getting the right cut and was great fun and professional.?

This is a very friendly salon in a very convenient part of the city. My hairdresser has done my hair for more than ten years which is a recommendation in itself.

Dear Mr Blake I would like you to know what a wonderful beauty therapist Ashli is. She is both professional and thorough in her work. Ashli is very knowledgeable and passes on the information I need in a clear way. I also enjoy being with her as she is fun, she smiles and she has awesome interpersonal skills. Diane is always attentive to my needs and remembers conversations we have had. I would highly recommend Blakes. Mrs Belinda Jones

To The Blakes Team, I just wanted to say how great I think your service is. I had an appointment booked with a graduate stylist, who unfortunately was poorly and couldn’t make it in for my appointment. Due to these unfortunate circumstances, the team at Blakes did everything the could to ensure my appointment was not cancelled. I was fortunate enough to have a very lovely Artist Director (Mike), who stayed extra time at work in order to offer his services and do my hair. Not only that, I was not charged any extra cost. Additionally, the team were also so helpful and moved my car into the staff car-parking area, and lent me one of their permits so that I didn’t have to pay extra on the car park! I also was lucky enough to have received a free sample of the Moroccan oil! I just wanted to let you know how helpful, kind and considerate I think the staff at Blakes are, and I wanted you guys to have some recognition of that. I felt very well looked after by a lovely team of staff you have, and you have gained another loyal customer. Thank you for a great service and a great hair-do! Megan x

Stress massage with Ashli, wouldn't go anywhere else. Perfect!!
