Down to earth, friendly and reassuring. Gave amazing tips for additional concerns. Definitely recommend. 10/10MikeMoto15MikeMoto15 ★★★★★ Abigail HeadAbigail Head ★★★★★ Got my first balayage here, my hairdresser took extra care listening during my consultation to my specific needs, but also took extra consideration with recommending me what shape would suit my hair style. I am so happy with the results and this is the healthiest and cleanest my blonde has looked ever, thanks!CatrionaCatriona ★★★★★ Lovely staff! Did an amazing job on my hair xxFiona LangFiona Lang ★★★★★ Amazing salon! Absolutely love them. So friendly and helpful, they even manage to cut my son’s hair and he doesn’t hate it at the end (serious compliment there!). I’ve been when they are super busy and they’ve somehow fitted both my son and I in (we did have an appointment, but the stylist was off). The best salon I’ve been to in Plymouth (and I’ve been to a few). I don’t want to recommend them too highly, because they might get too many people going in and then I’d have trouble getting an appointment 😂Seriously, this is the salon to go for.Kate ParkinKate Parkin ★★★★★ I went in to get balayage highlights.

If like me you find it difficult to visit a salon for whatever reason, I recommend Upper38 it's very laid back and they make you feel welcome❤️Davee NealeDavee Neale ★★★★★ Amazing experience, went in not knowing much of what I wanted and I was given feedback and even a tester and when I booked my hair in the results were amazing. Amanda has brilliant people skills, great to talk to and knows a lot about her job and gives all the relevant information. Upper 38 as a whole is brilliant and recommended and looks after you from the moment you get to reception. Thank youRoss PyburnRoss Pyburn ★★★★★ The hairdresser Dan today cut my granddaughter’s hair in a minutes notice after she cut her fringe in school yesterday.
He really is a credit to your salon and please pass on my gratitude
Sophie CollingsSophie Collings ★★★★★ First time visiting Upper38 today, on my entrance I was warmly welcomed, the lady kindly hung my coat up and offered me a tea or coffee ☕️ I then had the best wash, cut, blowdry and style done by Lewis (he was so friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout)…I’m obsessed with my hair!!🖤 I had long and short layers added this time to give my hair more of a shaggy look.

I will definitely be back and highly recommended!🖤
Georgia MuersGeorgia Muers ★★★★★ Incredible experience with Amanda. I came in with an absolute mess on my head, faded red box dye that had been bleached over with a lot of banding. Amanda worked absolute miracles as I not only did a massive chop to donate what I could to the Little Princess Trust, but also fixed the colour more than I knew was even possible with my hair history. She’s given me such a gorgeous colour with some really cool highlights around my face. On top of that, with such thick hair I was always terrified of going short for fear of looking like a triangle because it just poofs up, but she’s given me such a beautiful shape to prevent that from happening. I cannot recommend enough and will 100% be back again. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻Hayley IrisHayley Iris ★★★★★ Hannah was great. She fit me in last minute, listened to what I needed and delivered despite my being a bit vague.

I hadn’t had my hair cut in a couple of years, and it was ratty and full of split ends. When it gets brushed it was a fluffy mess. 20 mins sat in Hannah’s chair; and it looks and feels so much healthier.

10/10 would recommend
Shannon McFaddenShannon McFadden ★★★★★ Had my first hair appointment at this salon yesterday morning and will definitely be returning in the future! Eda did a wonderful job with my hair and I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. I also had an eyebrow wax done by Autumn and it's safe to say my brows have never looked better. Amazing service!Amy ProllAmy Proll ★★★★★ AMAZING! Walked out with my dream hair in one appointment! Amanda was incredible, can’t recommend enough!David ShulDavid Shul ★★★★★ My wife's review (Emma S):
I had my hair cut and highlighted a week last Thursday, and I cannot really convey how delighted I am with the result. Eda is unlike any other hairdresser I have ever been to. Because of her unique training she uses different techniques that are not "one size fits all", and tailors the highlights individually each time. In all my years of having my hair done, I have never seen such expertise and care to get it exactly right. She is just amazing. It does take a little longer than a normal appointment, but it is completely worth the wait, the highlights are beautiful, and because of the unique way she does them the regrowth doesn't show that quickly and I only need to re-book after 3 months. I have been coming to have my hair done by Eda now for nearly a year and I can honestly say that each time I leave I feel like a princess. She is just on a different level from all the other hairdressers I have been going to, and I never want to go anywhere else 🙂
Talis SpiritTalis Spirit ★★★★★ Lewis gave me a stunning and gorgeous dimensional copper balayage, taking the time to make sure that I got exactly what I wanted.

Would 10000% recommend Upper38 for those looking for a professional and fabulous result! All the staff are so friendly!
Haider JafriHaider Jafri ★★★★★ Big thank you to the Upper38 team, especially Grant. I usually have a lot of issues with getting my hair cut or trimmed. Grant made me feel comfortable, took his time, exuded confidence and made sure everything matched what I was asking for. 100% coming back here for next time.James WillisJames Willis ★★★★★ Had my hair cut by grant, the only barber I will go to! Quality cut and a nice environment in there, would recommend anyone to goTina HaleTina Hale ★★★★★ Loved this place - everyone was so friendly and loved my hair.
