Chameleons Hair Salon

Where do I even start with this fantastic salon. I actually only come to visit about once a year and it is for something very in particular and I wouldn't trust anywhere else to do it! After looking around 6 different salons in cheltenham for where to get my long hair permed I came across Chameleons. As soon as I met Ian and his son James I instantly felt relaxed and that the process would be a good one and that I would be happy with the result. As you can see my hair is very long and dead straight but I have always wanted my hair to be curly. This is now 3 years that I have had curly hair for and take a trip back to the salon each year to have a 4 hour long apt of it being permed and cut to shape. I then usually pop back the week after to have it dyed. One year (the second time I had had it done) for whatever reason the perm didn't take very well. Ian managed to fit me in on NYE to sort it out and re do it all FOC! This lovely family run business will go out of their way to ensure you are 100% happy with the results, and will definitely make sure you have a good laugh while you're there!! Couldn't recommend highly enough! Exceptional staff including Tori, and fab service, everyone who's in there at the time having their hair done seems to be enjoying themselves!

I recommend booking Oscar!! he cut my layers and bangs exactly the way that I wanted and was consistently checking in with me and informing me of how he was going to cut my hair to make sure I was pleased and it came out perfect :)

The first and last time we used the salon.The guy was very very slow, and the owner despite the friendly face was very rude.I asked (the guy was cutting my daughter’s hair) whether he should put more layers in or not , the owner jumped in and said stop changing your mind , you already asked him to make it a bit shorter …Honestly I couldn’t believe it , as I was replying to him , he said don’t have attitude….Stay away, Cheltenham is full of lovely hairdressers, beautiful and refreshing and up market .This one is just at the very very very bottom.I gave 2 star only because in the end my daughter’s hair looked nice .Reading your reply , you’re wrong I wasn’t aggressive at all, I never mentioned I am paying (never), I was just talking to Oscar and my daughter ,you had no right what so ever to tell me like school girl not to have attitude.Also you never ever mentioned that he is new (that explains why a normal haircut , conditioner and blow dry took 3 hours )otherwise I wouldn’t let him to touch her hair , in fact he said he has been doing this for 3 years .Interesting he is trained recently but you charged what you did …As an owner you can not pick and choose your clients , you need to be patient with everyone.Sadly my hairdresser didn’t have time for her and she insisted to have haircut that day , but this is completely normal to discuss the length and layers whilst cutting is getting done and doing any necessary changes but not in your place .

Just had Oscar cut my hair and I am over the moon, I have very fine thin straight hair which is difficult to cut and after reading the one review I was a bit worried but he has done one of the best cuts iv had.I done hair dressing myself so I know a good cut he will definitely be my new stylist from now on highly recommend

I never ever write reviews but I just wanted to give some credit to James! My son was absolutely terrified of having his hair cut! We’ve had some really bad experiences but he made him feel totally at ease the first time we went and today was only his second time and he sat with a gown on and just had his hair cut no tears no screaming job done! Thank you so much! It’s now something I don’t have to dread!

I tried Chamelons for the first time today and had a cut and highlights put in and I couldn’t be happier with the result. James took the time to discuss my hair with me which resulted in me getting exactly what I’d wanted. On top of their professionalism, James and Oscar were both really welcoming and friendly. I’d 100% recommend Chamelons to anyone.

The staff are amazing and love coming here yo have my hair done.

Thank you to Ian and to Oscar for my fabulous haircut today. I have been coming to Chameleons for a very long time and have always been thrilled with my experience and often receive compliments about my haircut. I would like to praise Oscar for his exemplary attitude and service. He is a real asset to the Chameleons team and I can only recommend people to book in with him. I am sure you will be delighted by his professionalism as a stylist.
