Reviews of RCNQ

L. T.

Had a really good experience with Jack who did a full colour transformation for me. My hair is in great condition still and it looks amazing! Thank you so much

S. K.

I've been going to RCNQ since the salon first opened, it feels like a friendly second home when I'm over in Manchester. Rob is a master of his trade... a friend complimented me on my "new hair cut" this weekend.... the razor cut was 7 weeks ago and still looking soooo fresh! Big thanks to all at RCNQ xxxx

F. W.

Couldn't have asked for a better haircut. Aisha listened to what I wanted and gave great suggestions. They told me what they were doing and why they were doing it every step of the way. Would definitely recommend if you want a personalised style.

R. J.

The salon is beautiful and all the staff seem lovely, poppy does my hair and she is excellent. Talented funny and kind honestly the total package. 10/10 recommend!!

E. P.

I really like my hair, but I had a bit of a frustrating experience at RCNQ. The hairdresser who I initially booked in with never turned up for my appointment and no one informed me that he had cancelled until I got there at 10am on Saturday (and I had paid a £70 deposit). They then made an effort to rebook my appointment before the wedding that I am going to on Thursday which I appreciated. Rob did my balayage, cut and styling and I really like the result, although the lighting in there is quite clinical and washed me out, I liked it way more when I got home. At the end of the appointment they were about to charge me the full cost of £150 before I remembered about the deposit, which they couldn’t find on the system for some reason. I showed the bank transfer and the payment was adjusted, however I wasn’t offered any kind of discount considering the original very last minute cancellation. Additionally, they made out like they were doing me a favour by only charging the stylist who had cancelled on me’s price.

A. W.

This salon is the best. I had an appointment with Callum and from the very start he was so helpful and understood exactly what I wanted. He was honest that we may not achieve the exact result due to my hair colour but would try and get close. Throughout he was so friendly and made the entire experience great. I can not tell you how amazing the end result is. I would recommend this salon and Callum to anyone!

A. F.

Had my hair cut with Rebecca and it’s the best haircut i’ve ever had !! She was so nice and made lots of conversation, and I love my hair now :)

Friendly and warm welcome. Wasn’t left waiting. Had an appointment with Chris when I had a hangover. Had the best head massage of my life. His skill set was really noticeable with the techniques used to cut my hair. Enjoyed my visit.

C. C.

Always love going to RCNQ when I need a trim or fresh look. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. The salon has a great atmosphere, very inviting. Last time I was there they were playing 2000s classics and the nostalgia was real. They're also updating their prices to be calculated per hour, rather than a set price for the service done which I think makes the process just a bit easier to understand!

M. C.

I've had some dodgy hairdresser experiences since growing out my hair and this is the first time I've had my hair done professionally in a year. I absolutely love it, so obsessed with myself. Rob did a wonderful job, everyone was super friendly, would definitely recommend this salon!! Already booked in for another appointment, thanks Rob! 😘😘

E. B. R.

I visited the salon last week and very much appreciated their services. I opted for a vivid colour done by Hayley and although I arrived late she made sure I received the best of care! She was very friendly and professional and I loved her colour, cut and finish! One of the best cuts I've ever had and the colour is out of this world for vibrancy and depth. 100% would recommend :)

A. S.

Michael did an incredible cut and colour and completely transformed my hair, over the moon with the results. I did find however that communication from the salon was quite poor when my appointment was cancelled and I wasn't told until I arrived at the salon having already paid for a taxi to get there. I believe there was a miscommunication between the original stylist I had booked in with and the salon. I understand that these things happen sometimes but it was very frustrating. The manager did however manage to find me an appointment for the next day which was I appreciated greatly! I would definitely come here again though and overall I was satisfied with my experience.

e. b.

Rebecca is AMAZING !!! I've had my hair done by Rebecca three times and she always absolutely smashes the colour and cut, she takes the time to discuss what I want and she always has great ideas and suggestions. When I visit the salon I put my trust in Rebecca 100% and she kills it every time! Not only is she an amazing hair stylist she's also a mega babe and I love coming to RCNQ to see her for a gossip, looking forward to my next appointment ! <3

N. N.

I had an appointment with Hayley in May 2021 for a full colour correct and rainbow highlights 🌈 and a cut/ micro fringe. I messaged Hayley initially to discuss and she was super helpful and lovely, she went through everything with me including all of the prices in detail so it was super clear! She was really friendly and talked me through the process and despite the fact it took 12 hours she was so enthusiastic and she and Rob stayed behind (the last people in the building on a Friday night!) and they both was so lovely and even spent time taking lovely pictures at the end which was a really nice experience. I am absolutely in love with my hair, the colour and the cut looks fantastic and I would definitely go again ☺️ The salon was a really nice vibe and clean and I felt really looked after and it definitely felt COVID safe! 😷

C. C.

I visited the salon last week for silver hair with a shadow root and a little pop of colour and a cut with Hayley. Due to lockdown I had enormous roots and overgrown hair, but as expected, Hayley was fantastic! She was extremely helpful when it came to deciding on the colour and was very attentive throughout. She went above and beyond during my appointment to ensure I was comfortable and happy with the results, and was very friendly. I left the salon with my hair looking even better than I expected and in fantastic condition (which after a year of lockdown and bleach I did not expect!). I won't go anywhere else now! Thanks so much Hayley! Highly recommend - especially if you're looking for a fun new colour!

L. A.

Got my hair cut today by Rebecca, with two kids under 3 it's hard to get any time to keep on top of my hair. Rebecca did an amazing cut and blow dry for me, it was long overdue and looks and feels amazing!! She even did great navigating cutting and blow-drying while I was feeding my 3 month old 😄 Fantastic cut Fantastic service Fantastic place Xxx

F. M.

Probably the best hair cut I've ever had! Rob understands curly hair!!!!!

C. L.

I booked in for a skin fade with Matt from a recommendation. I’m quite particular with how I like my fade because of work, however Matt fully understood what I was looking for and delivered. It’s been cut where it still looks professional in my uniform, but also looks sick out of uniform. Thanks Matt, great guy, good banter 👌

S. D.

Just back home after another fabulous hair cut by the lovely Rob @ RCNQ. I always leave the salon loving my hair and feeling great. Such a relaxed, cool place, a great location and super staff to boot...what's not to like?? Thanks a million..see you soon.

This place is definitely worth the hype! Everyone is so lovely and welcoming as well as being amazing at what they do. I do my research when it comes to hair cuts and colouring and I am quite picky. I have tried many places and may I just say, I think i have found one that I will become a regular of! I had a haircut with Michael and I am so happy with it! Absolutely recommend without a doubt! It is super central as well so you can go grab a bite to eat or smt to drink right before or after :)

F. E.

Rob has completely transformed my hair - always the perfect colour, & cut! I used to get ‘the fear’ before going to a hairdressers, worried they would get it wrong & I’d leave hating my hair, but I never get that anymore, since going to RCNQ; I trust Rob to always give me exactly what I’m looking for! The team are always so lovely, and there’s always a great playlist on in the background!

k. l.

Me and my mum travelled from Hartlepool to visit this salon after following the salon on Instagram. We both had a cut and finish by Michael, who listened and did exactly what we wanted to our hair whilst offering his advice. We have never felt as at ease at a salon as we did in RCNQ, which boasts a clean and inclusive environment for all. All staff very friendly and accommodating and made to feel welcome. Would highly recommend Michael and this salon to all.

I have been coming to rob for years and my hair is always beautifully done. I love that the salon is so diverse and welcomes everyone 💕 the team are so friendly and really makes you feel at home abs welcomed ❤️no matter what hair you desire - rcnq has you covered always. Love love Love it here

A. L.

Really great experience! First time coming to RCNQ and wish I'd come sooner. My appointment was with Callum to have my hair cut and I can not express how amazing he was. He managed to make my quarintine-DIY-haircut-and-bleached hair feel and look great, gave me advice on colours I can go next, and generally just a lovely person. Can't wait to come again!

R. O.

My hairstylist was Shenae who styled my hair today in knotless braids. The style is not what I would usually ask for but after allowing my stylist to have creative freedom she came up with an edgy look that I love! Gentle and attentive, with a great sense of humour!

S. N.

I called up rcnq to ask if they do haircuts on a wig & i got a call back saying one of the hairdressers has never tried but would love to help me out , this alone made me happy as not many hair salons are very diverse with their customers. On the day i met callum who was going to cut & style my wig , he was so friendly and made me feel so welcome , i asked for a wolf cut and thats exactly what i got. I traveled 1hr 30mins to get to the salon and it was so worth it , I am so im love with my hair and its made me feel so much more confident. I have already recommended callum to my friends and i will be coming back. For someone who had never cut & styled a wig before he did an exceptionally good , thank you so much callum.

L. S.

Probably the best experience at a hairdresser's I've ever had, Callum was so unbelievably lovely and funny plus made all of my hair dreams come true for a amazing price. Could not recommend more, can't wait for my next visit :)

M. M.

Had a hair colour appointment with Callum: Really happy with the result, lovely staff, and great salon. Really impressed with the colour and the products used, and had a good overall experience. Callum was really knowledgeable and I've booked my appointment to go back!

G. M.

Always delighted with my hair by Hayley, she's great at what she does. After searching for a hairdresser in Manchester for a while that was affordable and delivered great results I can safely say I won't go anywhere else now! Love the atmosphere and decor of the place and I always leave feeling great 😊 Would definitely recommend!

M. S.

I have chosen RCNQ for quite a big hairstyle change and from very early on I felt like it was a friendly and open space what made me feel at ease and relaxed. I got my hair done by Hayley and I could not recommend her enough. She was attentive and open to what I wanted to get done, took the time to guide me through the process and I was blown away by her attention to detail and care with which she worked. Needless to say, I am loving the hair and I will not be going anywhere else for my appointments.

R. B.

It's always scary changing hair dressers, but when I moved to Manchester I'd heard good things about RCNQ so I thought I'd try them. I'd done some digging on Instagram and loved Hayley's work, as all her 'blonde' transformations were amazing. It's easy to get blonde hair wrong (brassy, stripy, we've all probably experienced a blonde disaster), but every time I've visited, Hayley was done an amazing job. The perfect ashy blonde, and I've been so pleased with it every time. All of the staff are lovely, as is the atmosphere. I'd confidently recommend the hairdressers, and Hayley to anyone! x

L. F.

Hayley is an amazing colourist! She performed miracles on my hair and I absolutely loved it. The staff are welcoming and friendly and I would recommend RCNQ whole heartedly!

C. L.

Had my colour done by Hayley and I am so obsessed with it! Hayley was amazing, completely listened to what I asked for and I couldn’t be happier with my hair, the whole team were so lovely and I’ll definitely be returning- thanks Hayley ☺️

N. G.

AMAZING! I was having a horrible hair day so I treated myself to a wash and blow-dry. They somehow turned my crazy mane into exactly what I was hoping for if not better. Staff was friendly and great to talk to. If you're in Manchester and need a quick fix RCNQ is the place to go to

K. A.

Best Balayage I've had!! I've attempted several places to get a balayage look but I was never 100% happy, but Callum took the time to really understand the colour that I wanted (and I'm the worst at explaining!), and the tones I was going for. The colouring is absolutely perfect and Callum was brilliant throughout!

A. M.

Callum did a scalp bleach for me which turned out perfectly - toned to the exact shade I had in mind. This is contrasted to many disappointing attempts by other salons in Manchester. Callum was very reassuring and professional and went through things in detail so I was happy to proceed. I would certainly recommend and im looking forward to my next appt.

L. S.

Had a haircut yesterday by Hayley. I normally don't write reviews but I was very pleased with the service. I had really long hair and I decided to go really short for the first time was a bit nervous in case it went wrong. Hayley was very professional, showed her a picture and she gave me exactly what I wanted.

H. B.

So pleased with my hair! Rob is so knowledgeable. He was able to advise when I wasn’t too sure exactly what I wanted and I came out completely satisfied and in love with my new hair.

V. H.

Rob has been doing my hair for years and I always trust him completely with the colour and cut. He always gives his advice and speaks honestly about what can be achieved with my hair. My colour gets compliments all the time for how natural it looks. Great atmosphere at the salon and all the staff are creative, friendly and passionate about what they do.

S. F.

I started coming to Rob only around 8 weeks ago. I’ve had my hair coloured twice and cut once and never have I ever felt so happy and confident with it. He listens to what you want. With his incredible knowledge of hair and years of experience he will offer his input too which I love! I always come out feeling “a millionaire dollars”. Rob is a true gem and one of the best in the business. Oh, and he’s great to chat to too! X

S. G.

Always a brilliant experience at RCNQ! The stylists are all super talented and knowledgeable, I'm always delighted! Excellent value for money as well!

E. B.

My first time dying my hair was made to be an exciting morning at RCNQ with Callum! He did the most beautiful balayage on my dull hair and has completely transformed it! Thank you so much Callum😍

Never written a review but feel like I want to for this. My haircut result was good BUT the customer service was ... questionable. My hairdresser didn't talk/address me for like 10 minutes and after washing my hair proceeded to stop and reply to texts while I sat there with wet hair. Just felt really uncomfortable and upset that I spent quite a lot of money on such a mediocre experience.

A. H.

Rob is excellent love my hair quirky place ....fab hair salon

P. W.

Friendly staff, casual atmosphere, and great with hair. Chris has done a super job cutting and dying my hair. He's also the best at washing hair of any hairdresser I've had- no water in my ears!

L. M.

Fave hairdressers - I used to feel very uncomfortable going to get my hair done until I discovered RCNQ. I’ve had cuts by Chris, Daisy and Becca and some colour by Elliot and each person has really listened to me and made me feel comfortable. I always come out with beautiful hair, feeling fantastic. Highly recommended!

Chris is great at cutting and took time to finish my hair properly. Inconsistent service from other staff though. Sometimes you get a head massage during a shampoo, sometimes not regardless of how quiet it is in shop. Sometimes my hair is finished with care, sometimes not. However having said that, some great colourists work there and I love the uniqueness and quirkiness of the place.

P. -.

Rob is everything you could want in a hair stylist! He's knowledgeable, skilled and super friendly. Rob did a colour correction on my hair and really listened to what I wanted and made sure the process he used was right for me. He talked through each step which helped put my mind at ease, and also offered me an endless supply of tea and coffee! What more could you want? I left with silky smooth locks and a lot more confidence. I couldn't recommend Rob enough to anyone who is a little nervous to try a new salon. Big thumbs up, I will be returning for sure ☺️

I'm autistic, shy and awkward so I am always really scared of going to get a haircut. This was my first appointment in years and it was great! The salon is really nice inside and the staff are really friendly, I was made to feel at ease straight away (without even needing to disclose my autistic situation) and my hair cut was amazing, it's easily the best haircut I've ever had and I couldn't be happier! Thank you so much RCNQ, I'll definitely be back! (Fyi my hair was cut by Danielle)

C. P.

Had the lovely Elliot do a root bleach and tone, which I was very happy with. Such a cool quirky salon, and all the staff were so friendly and chatty. They also put a film on for people to watch while they waited which I've never seen in a hairdressers before, and was certainly appreciated when I was sat waiting for the bleach to lift. I will definitely be going back :)

R. W.

I've had my hair done by Daniel twice, once for a dye and the second time for a cut. Both times he was incredibly friendly and did an amazing job with my hair. I'm really glad I found this place, it's my new hairdressers!

C. W.

Second trip here and I had a fantastic haircut with Elliot! It's lovely for someone to actually listen to what you want and not just try to foist the latest 'do on you! I can easily recreate the salon look at home too, which is normally my main problem. The staff are lovely and I've already booked in my next cut!

M. M.

Great hair salon – all staff members are very helpful, approachable and ready to listen. They really care about customer leaving happy. They saved my hair more than once and I cannot praise them enough. I can’t wait for my next appointment.

C. B.

Lovely fresh new salon got a great vibe to it. Staff are very friendly. Rob cut and coloured my hair and it looks great. Being naturally curly it can be tricky to style but Rob really rose to the challenge and had my curls bouncing away! Definitely recommend and will return. Thanks Rob!

Great haircut / hairdresser (Danielle). As well as being technically a good hairdo, which grows out well, Danielle always has great ideas if I fancy a change - and is really easy to talk to. The other staff are also friendly and the salon is very relaxing. Highly recommended!

T. M.

A really professional and friendly salon that make you feel at ease and I love my hair when it’s finished. Conor is not only a fantastic hairdresser but a fantastic person too! Without doubt, 5 stars.

A. “. G.

Connor is brilliant. Hes really friendly and welcoming. Hes very experienced. RCNQ is not like any other salon. I personally get anxiety when going to normal salons. I always feel very comfortable at RCNQ.

e. k.

Hayley did such a fantastic job with my hair, it’s exactly the colour and style that I wanted, I love it! Can’t recommend Hayley enough :)

A. C.

Got my hair done here today by Sofie and can't recommend this place enough. Friendly, professional and such a nice vibe in the salon. My colour is perfect and the cut exactly how I wanted it. I will deffo be back!

A. H.

I've been twice now to RCNQ and I definitely wont be going anywhere else again. Chris is amazing, really listens to what it is that you want and both cut & colour has been absolutely perfect. I have walked out with the biggest smile on my face both times! Thanks Chris & RCNQ :)

S. C.

My fave salon experience to date. The staff are all so friendly and good at what they do. I’ve become a bit of a regular 😅 I’ve never felt happier with my hair. Highly recommend 💕

J. B.

Matt is a great hairdresser who always makes me feel at ease and my hair comes out feeling trendy and on point...Great place I like the vibe...

J. B.

So a spent over an hour on a Saturday trying to get my hair cut without an appointment. I eventually walked past this ladies salon and asked if they would do my hair. They check to see if they had some available and offered me a seat whilst I was waiting. I didn't realise they had a basement level to this establishment and on arriving down stairs I found myself @BarbarBelow a mens grooming salon. What a gem.. Cool and very spacious. Scott was my barber who was really friendly and chatty, took his time with my hair and in doing so found himself a regular customer. Great service, great price (£15 trim) and perfect for me. Give it a try!

S. A. O.

Love my hair! Customer service was excellent and Connor was the sweetest! A little pricey, but you're paying for what you get, so it's not that surprising!

R. B.

Great experience as always. Really great salon, with a good vibe & really friendly staff. Daisy is amazing, colour is always incredible & I get loads of great comments - no wonder she’s so busy!

H. A.

This was the 2nd time I visited RCNQ and I'm glad that I came back. Nothing but a top hair salon for a quick blowdry when in the MCR. Not pretentious, they are super friendly and use great products for my hair and what's even better, came out looking fabulous and of course very affordable. Don't look anywhere else.

L. H.

Hannah has coloured my hair several times now she always does a great job and makes you feel comfortable! She's knows her stuff. Thanks Hannah! 😊

D. P.

Best hairdressers in Manchester by far. I've been going here for years and stuck with them even when my preferred stylist moved on because I love the team and the atmosphere. Never had a bad experience at all.

E. G.

I had my hair done by Daisy! She’s so so lovely and I genuinely love my hair! Definitely booking with her again! X

S. A.

Staff are lovely and so is the owner! Had an issue with last hair cut having been too short for what I wanted but it has been kindly addressed. Really happy to have sorted it now - amazing customer service x

J. C.

Really good stylist who listened to me and gave excellent advice. Nice atmosphere and they don't mind if you get Deliveroo! Would recommend and use again.

L. M.

The Friendliest staff, great service, expert colourists... Rob, Becca and Elliott are fantastic at what they do. Would recommend as a five star salon in the centre of the NQ, Manchester

M. W.

Fabulous, Daisie was so welcoming and chatty and very knowledgeable. My hair is exactly what I wanted aba she gave me some good advice about my hair care - thank you!!

S. H.

I’ve always been a little dubious of hair dressers and salons and really don’t like the experience at all, but I really love this place. It’s a super chilled salon with talented stylists who listen to what you want and do a great job.

R. H.

Been coming to this salon for a while now! Amazing customer service and really friendly talented staff! Can’t recommend these guys enough. Thank you and I’ll be back soon 😊 x

C. E.

Great Salon, Elliot cut and finished my hair brilliantly, would definitely recommend. Price is very fair as well for the quality you get.

L. M.

Daisy was amazing! Committed to getting the results I wanted and making my vision a reality. Great vibe in the salon and booking process smooth throughout.

I love my new haircut! Connor was great and did exactly what I asked. My new hair looks more stylish than ever!

K. O.

Had an awesome experience at RCNQ. Connor was brilliant and friendly and did a wonderful job on my hair! Will be back soon!

j. j.

Totally recommend this place. My colour lasted so well compared to other places I have been in the past, they also make you feel really comfortable and welcome!

E. T.

I won't go anywhere else in the city. Decent prices for a hairdressers of this calibre. Staff are all knowledgeable and friendly...and no inane small talk!

S. P.

I've had work done with both Ryan and Keira, and they are mega in their own ways'. The are both skilled and proper decent humans. Chuffed with my cuts'.

A. C.

Another happy customer; couldn’t recommend highly enough. The staff are creative, talented and warm, the atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and welcoming. See you again soon!

J. K.

Amazing salon only negative it's not in the same city I'm living in ! Every time I have a cut or colour I am never disappointed.

S. S. T. M.

I came in looking scruffy and left feeling a million dollars! I got really taken care of, good hair advice as i was unsure, booked in again already!

Z. J.

Becca was fabulous! Made me feel comfortable from the off and had a laugh as well! Brilliant haircut to top it off

D. J.

I am never disappointed with a visit to RCNQ. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and work tirelessly to give you the best result. It feels like visiting friends! I always recommend this place.
