Our Salon

A different kind of salon.

Wisteria Avenue is an independent hair salon at 4 East St. Helen Street in Abingdon — a Grade II Listed building between The King's Head & Bell and the Abingdon Town Museum. We opened in 2018 with a simple ambition: to do hairdressing properly, in a place that feels like somewhere you actually want to be.

Every appointment starts with a proper consultation — actually listening before anyone picks up the scissors. We take the time to understand your hair, your routine, and what you're trying to achieve, then show you how to recreate the result at home.

The salon spans two floors. The ground floor is our main space for cuts, colour and curly hair. Upstairs is quieter — used for men's hair systems, hijab-friendly appointments, silent appointments for clients with autism, and anyone who'd prefer a calmer setting. Whoever you are, you're welcome here.

Tracey Senior Stylist

Tim is a Master Stylist with over 35 years of experience in cutting, colouring, styling and perming. He built much of his career in London before relocating to Oxfordshire.

He brings a thorough, detailed approach to every consultation, and his specialisms include curly haircuts, highlights and perms.

Anya grew up in Poland, where she began her hairdressing career before moving to England seven years ago. With over 15 years of experience, she's a self-proclaimed perfectionist for whom 'good' is never quite enough — and it shows in her results. She's our go-to for colour: bespoke blondes, highlights and beautifully seamless balayage.

Her specialisms include bespoke hair colour, curly haircuts, ladies' haircuts, men's hair systems and hair extensions, and she's trained in the AirTouch technique for both balayage and highlights. Our in-salon qualified teacher, she also offers hijab-friendly and autism-friendly appointments. Thoughtful and quietly funny, Anya is someone whose brains are worth picking — ask her opinion and you'll get a considered, honest answer on what will genuinely suit you.

Tracey is a Senior Stylist with over 35 years of experience, much of it in busy London salons. She's our go-to for creative, edgy work — wolf cuts, undercuts, bold restyles and vivid colour, from greens and blues to yellows and beyond. She also does men's and women's perms! If you're after a proper restyle or a confident change of direction, she's the one to see. She genuinely understands hair, and cutting in particular.

Her experience spans a wide range of hair types and textures, including Asian hair cutting, and she offers both hijab-friendly and autism-friendly appointments. Known for great conversation, plenty of laughter and honest, down-to-earth advice, Tracey quickly becomes someone clients look forward to seeing in the chair.

Shanika is one of our colour specialists, with a genuine gift for highlights and balayage — some of the most beautiful colour work you'll find in the salon. She takes real care and precision over every colour, and it shows: seamless, dimensional highlights and natural-looking balayage that clients come back for. She's a great choice if you want standout colour delivered with patience and a meticulous eye.

Alongside her colour work, she's skilled in curly haircuts and longer styles, and offers hijab-friendly appointments. What sets her apart is how she works with clients — she listens properly, picks up on what someone actually wants, and makes the chair an easy, relaxed place to be. Warmth and patience as much as craft.
