Expert Hair & Nail Services in Hanwell

Established in 1987, Tangles has evolved into a family-run sanctuary for creative hairstyling and nail care, rooted in Hanwell, West London. Our journey began with a wartime barber's resilience and passion, which has been passed through three generations. We specialise in bespoke cuts and colours tailored to individual needs, complemented by eco-friendly in-house products developed through continuous innovation. Our team of skilled professionals prioritises a supportive environment for both clients and staff, ensuring every visit is a pleasurable experience.

With a legacy of technical excellence from institutions like Vidal Sassoon and L'Oral, we blend artistry and science to deliver quality services. Our commitment extends beyond aesthetics to environmental responsibility, reflected in our handmade, sustainable treatments. Clients return not just for the expertise but for the warm, conversational atmosphere that makes each appointment something to look forward to rather than a chore.

I went to this place first on Friday the 26th November 2021 after checking out google reviews. Was feeling very apprehensive but as soon as i got there i felt very welcomed and at ease. Collette was lovely and I absolutely loved my end result from the colouring and styling of my hair. I had a total of 2 visits, just a couple days a part. Both were great. I will definitely be returning.

I never go anywhere else. The Tangles team are top class, I am always very very happy with the results of any appointments. Their colouring skills are exemplary and my hair always looks fantastic if I do say so myself. Adam and the Tangles team are skilled, friendly and receptive and always check if you would like a coffee. Highly recommended!

Ive been using Tangles in Hanwell for many years and always leave really happy with my cut & blow dry. Adam is always great and even though Im not good with hair & how I want it cut he always interprets what I mean into a great cut. Ive also had full colours and hi-lights here in the past they were great as well.

All of the stylists at Tangles are excellent. I’ve been a customer here for many years. Adam offers great advice on styles and colour, and all of his staff are super lovely and genuinely care about what they do. Even my teen sons insist on getting their hair styled here too now!

Adam's been doing my hair for several years now and I'm always happy with the colour, cut and the attention he pays to getting my hair looking good. I've recently had compliments from strangers about how nice it looks! Also I've recommended Adam to a couple of friends who were both very happy with the results.
