Your hair, our passion
Life is busy enough; your hair shouldn’t add to the stress. That’s why at Albert Fields, we make looking after your hair simple, enjoyable, and effortless. We firmly believe that great hair is about more than a style, it’s about how it makes you feel. Our goal is to take care of the details so you can walk out the door each day with confidence, knowing your hair is in expert hands.
The Albert Fields story
Albert Fields grew out of a love for great hair and the kind of salon where everyone feels at home. We wanted to create a place where every guest feels cared for, where the atmosphere is calm and relaxed, and where beautiful, healthy hair comes naturally. For us, it’s not just about what happens in the chair, but about giving you time out from the day-to-day, with a team who genuinely enjoy looking after you.
Our stylists and colourists are passionate professionals who see hair as a craft. Every snip, every shade and every style is done with care, attention and creativity. We take time to get to know your hair and how you live with it, so the result isn’t just good on the day — it’s easy to wear and love long after you leave the salon.
What makes us different?
What makes Albert Fields different is our belief that your hair should fit your lifestyle, not the other way round. That means cuts that grow out beautifully, colour that feels natural and sustainable, and treatments that bring your hair back to health. Whether you’re after a bold new look, low-maintenance colour, or simply a cut that works every day, our team will listen and deliver with heart.
And because we care about more than just the end result, we’ve chosen Davines products for every service. They’re sustainable, ethical and a joy to use, helping us care for your hair in a way that’s as kind to the planet as it is to you.
At Albert Fields, our story has always been about people. The people in our chairs, the team behind the scissors, and the community around us. From your very first visit to every appointment after, we’re here to make looking after your hair simple, stress-free and something you can genuinely enjoy.
Here’s to happy hair days!
Why chose Albert Fields hair salon?
Cut, colour & care
-

Haircuts & styling that work for you
A great cut should fit your life, not just the salon chair. Our stylists take time to understand your hair’s natural shape, texture and movement. Whether it’s a tidy-up, a new style or a men’s cut, you’ll leave with hair that feels easy, wearable and completely yours.
-

Creative colour that feels natural
From sun-kissed highlights to bold transformations, our colourists bring creativity and care to every service. We specialise in balayage, glossing, highlights and full colour using Davines’ professional colour, gentle, sustainable and long-lasting. The result is colour that enhances your look and keeps your hair healthy.
-

Hair & scalp treatments that restore & revive
Healthy hair is at the heart of everything we do. Our bespoke treatments are tailored to your needs, from deep-conditioning masks to smoothing services that add shine, strength and softness. Perfect for giving your hair some extra care between cuts or colour appointments.
-

Wedding & special occasion hair
From elegant up-dos to soft, romantic waves, we create styles that enhance your natural beauty and last throughout the day. Whether it’s for your wedding, a prom, or a special event, our packages include a relaxed trial and expert styling on the day itself — so you feel calm, confident and completely yourself when it matters most. (Prices on consultation)
From Goring to Henley and everywhere in between
We might be rooted in Goring-on-Thames, but our chairs are filled with friendly faces from all over – Reading, Wallingford, Pangbourne, Henley and across South Oxfordshire and Berkshire. People come for the cuts and colour but stay for the relaxed atmosphere (and maybe the Davines products they fall a little bit in love with).
Whether it’s a fresh cut, sun-kissed balayage or bridal hair that lasts all day, we put the same care and creativity into every appointment. Think of it less as a trip to the salon and more as a little pocket of calm where you leave looking good and feeling even better.
