I have been going to Europa Hair with Chris for about 25 years, even though I now live in Norfolk I still go to back to Europa. Have always been pleased with my hair, nothing is ever too much trouble, the cup of coffee I get is the best! Lovely atmosphere in a clean and smart salon. I also purchase most of my hair products from them. Thank you

Located on Tavistock Street, Bedford. Fantastic stylists, very professional, ultra-modern. Pretty expensive for small town with a rising scale depending on the stylist but you will be more than pleased with results. You can have a less expensive experience with a trainee with the qualified staff keep a watchful eye. You would expect to find a salon and stylists of this calibre in New York, Paris or Barcelona but not in Bedford so it really is a hidden gem.They are experts on hair colour. They offer wigs and different types of hair pieces and more advanced types of extensions. They have won numerous
