What a lovely woman, very friendly she cut my hair so well I love it! She styled it beautifully and paid so much care and attention.It was a great overall experience, booking was so easy and the email/text confirmation was really useful. I hadn't found a hairdresser in Plymouth yet but feel I have now.Colour next and some treatments as it's a fab all round salon thanks ladies 😊Response from the ownerthank you Gillian, very much appreciated and I will ensure Eda sees such a lovely review xx Lewis MilburnLewis Milburn ★★★★★ I’ve been going to Upper 38 for just under 2 years, everyone is always so welcoming and friendly. I usually go around once a month for a trim with Grant and he always does a brilliant job - I also had my second perm done today with Amanda and I absolutely love it! Everyone there is amazing and always takes the time to talk about the style you want and answer any questions. Amazing service would highly recommend!Cleo HendersonCleo Henderson ★★★★★ This is a review very long overdue! I’ve been visiting Upper 38 for about two years for routine cuts, from when my hair was a very short pixie cut to now growing it out. I usually see Amanda, who is always a pleasure to chat with, very talented and knowledgeable, and always has me leaving feeling amazing about my hair. I often had people tell me how difficult it was to grow out their short cuts and how much they hated it, and I can’t empathise because I have never left Upper 38 not loving how I look! I’ve also attended appointments with some of the other hairdressers on occasion and they have consistently impressed as well. I most recently attended an appointment with Eda, who was attentive, skilled, and very sweet! Every welcome and phone call is warm and friendly, and the prices are very reasonable.Eppsie PageEppsie Page ★★★★★ My first time visiting Upper 38 and I had a restyle with Marie. She was great and I'm so happy with the cut, highly recommend.Emily FletcherEmily Fletcher ★★★★★ I had my hair done here a few weeks ago- cut and colour. Massive thank you to all the staff here, they were so accommodating with squeezing me in and working around my awkward schedule. Staff were really kind, helpful and went above and beyond to get me booked in for the week I requested. Really appreciate it!Marie, who cut and coloured my hair, was really helpful with helping me decide on dyes- she explained everything clearly and gave me some good insight on what would work best for the colour I wanted to go for.

Can't wait for 6-8 weeks to swing by again <3Edit: I have been back 3 or so times and been seen by Kat and Amanda who are both welcoming and skilled in their trade.

Excellent4.9 Based on 531 reviews from review us onGeorgia 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
Rebecca WalshRebecca Walsh ★★★★★ The happiest I’ve been with a haircut in years! Eda did a great job and the salon is lovely and friendly!Kerrie JoblingKerrie Jobling ★★★★★ Eda fixed my hair when the roots were so over grown and it had all different tones and colours going through it. She gave it a really good cut and her technique for highlights is 10/10. Cannot recommend enough, everyone is friendly and nothing is too much trouble.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.

I’ll be back.Cally EPCally EP ★★★★★ I had a cut and balayage done with the lovely Amanda and I am delighted with the results! I am very low maintenance and never know what I want but Amanda was very helpful with suggestions and asking the right questions and made me feel really at ease and understood my style! She was also very kind and accommodated squeezing me in before my holiday, I didn't catch her name but the receptionist was also really lovely!Catherine AnsellCatherine Ansell ★★★★★ Very reasonably priced for an excellent service! Love the tips I get given on how to style my hair!Liam DungateLiam Dungate ★★★★★ Brilliant hair salon, having the ability to book slots makes it so much easier to work around.

It’s also a really nice atmosphere in the salon. A great mix of clients; it feels diverse and inclusive. All the staff seem so lovely and it has very relaxed feel.
Liz Jane RaperLiz Jane Raper ★★★★★ Highly recommend Upper38, literally everyone was just so lovely from booking the appointment to everyone in between. It’s such a chilled out salon, so relaxing and nothing felt like a chore, they were so attentive and I couldn’t have wished for a better finish, it was exactly as I had pictured in my mind.Natalecia FordNatalecia Ford ★★★★★ Cody was amazing, I would recommend her to anyone needing intimate waxing. She is very professional and gentle. The staff are friendly too.Kara NobleKara Noble ★★★★★ Wonderfully friendly salon. Amanda does my hair, I imagine I’m not the easiest client, she is always so kind and patient and most importantly so skilled and talented.Isabelle MilesIsabelle Miles ★★★★★ I came in for a dry cut and Eda did my hair beautifully and curled it. She always makes my hair look so beautiful and I leave feeling great about it. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is a brilliant hair dresserJack TuckerJack Tucker ★★★★★ I had an amazing perm experience today at Upper38! Incredibly skilled and attentive. She listened to my preferences and executed the perm with precision. The result? Stunning, natural-looking curls that have garnered compliments from everyone.
