About Bloc

Alan Short Hairdressing.
I have meet a lot of very talented, inspiring, interesting people and also some challenging, all of these have shaped and guided my thoughts, skills and taught me a wealth of very valuable knowledge.

Pulling on 17 years of experience, I keep a balance between business and creativity as one can not exist without the other. I find equal enjoyment in seeing the penny drop in an employee, to helping a trainee become a stylist and creating a fantastic haircut.

I take pride in high standards, customer service and strive to be successful in every new challenge. There is nothing better than a client who is happy and I managed to either change their whole out look on hair or just given them one small bit of advise that they can take away and make their hair day that little bit easier.

Keeping in tune with latest trends in hair or fashion is crucial, but dose not mean this should be forced upon anyone, its to be considered as inspiration and a guide only.
I love science and link that to hair by absorbing every bit of information I can on products and the building blocks of hair its self, once you understand what goes on in side it allows you to logically look at your hair in a different way. Their must be reason in what you do and not just trust advertising.

Most important detail of all is attention to detail. Im a perfectionist and proud of it!
I believe you should remain down to earth but professional at all times. I love what I do and consider myself very fortunate to be in this industry.

Alan is an exceptional hair dresser and colourist. High end expertise and service, with an eye for perfection. What he doesn’t know about products isn’t worth knowing, so you know the condition of your hair is also in capable hands. Alan has been cutting my hair for 11 years, from pixie crops to long on trend blunt cuts, I love to mix it up and for this you need to trust your hairdresser. I’m a hair and make-up artist and I know exactly what I want. My hair is naturally fine, straight and knotty, so needs expect tlc. You book with Alan for the whole pamper experience. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else to cut my clients hair either! 5 stars.

Alan is an amazing hair dresser…always professional and friendly, and exceptionally inventive and stylish. Whether you want classic or ultra modern styling Alan is your best choice out of anyone around. He's done advanced training in colour, so has a great deal of knowledge and experience. On top of all his qualifications he has a hugely personable approach, and you will feel so relaxed and happy.

I thoroughly recommend Alan, his attention to detail is amazing - he made light work of my very unruly hair that most hairdressers struggle with. Superb cut and finish!

I feel incredibly lucky to have found Alan. Hairdressing is undoubtedly his passion (not just a job) and this is reflected in every cut I have ever received. Alan's attention to detail, talent and vision puts him in a league of his own. I always receive compliments from friends and family after each appointment with Alan, and the style always holds so well, I am repeatedly asked if I've just had my hair cut, weeks (sometimes months - ooops! ) later. I absolutely won't go anywhere else now. Why would I need to? Thank you Alan! From one extremely happy client.

Alan has been cutting my hair for over 10 years now and I have always been really happy with the results. He has transformed my naturally thick, frizzy hair in to something which looks great when he has finished cutting and drying it and is now easily manageable at home. He's also great company. Recently, my six year old son had an unfortunate 'peaky blinders' cut at a local barbers. Alan fixed this and, in the words of my son, 'made my hair awesome again! '. We think he is great and would definitely recommend.

Alan has cut and blow dried my hair for three years and done an amazing job. He's not just a great stylist but there is nothing about hair that he doesn't know. He helped me through a complete panic after losing loads of hair after my second baby and has given me brilliant advice on hair condition and scalp problems due to chaotic hormones! He's passionate about his craft and I have already recommended him to two friends.

Alan has been cutting my hair for about 18 months now. I never have bad hair days now. The cuts are exceptional - and boy am I fussy! I get loads of compliments about my hair too. He takes time at the beginning to find out what you want and makes helpful suggestions. And he takes time fine tuning it after it ahs been dried. He is a nice bloke too!

As always a fantastic cut by Alan. Lots of advice too on hair care and product use - he really does know his stuff.

Alam has cut my hair for more than 15 years now - I am very confident in his choices of styles to suit me, and I get numerous compliments from friends and family! We always have a laugh too - not only is he a great hairdresser but great fun too!

Alan is a first class hairdresse. He listens to what you want and is happy to give ideas if wanted. My hair texture has really improved. Great to watch how he cuts the hair. My hair is quite thick but the way Alan cuts into it it feels lighter even after it grows a few weeks on. A true professional. And a very pleasant person.

Been going to Alan for a number of years now and have always been very happy with the haircut I get as well as the good laugh we have while he's doing it.

Alan has been under the pressure of cutting my hair now for over a decade and I think he's finally getting it right! Seriously, I wouldn't trust anyone else with the task, I've been told I'm a perfectionist and I'd say he's one too so I guess it just works. I always feel more than a little bit sick imagining a time Alan decides enoughs enough and leaves the world of hairdressing! Always recommending him to friends and family, and he's a bloomin' nice bloke too.

I was looking for a new hairdresser, one who could cut and finish my unruly hair and make me feel ‘normal’! After visiting numerous salons in and around Reading and having costly and disastrous experiences, I came across Alan. I duly booked my online appointment, turned up at the salon and boy did he do a fantastic job. I can honestly say it’s the best hair cut I’ve ever had, it looks great and I have received many compliments. Not only that but the cut has lasted and I have been able to successfully manage it at home, always a challenge I find! Alan is highly skilled at precision cutting and as a bonus he is a lovely person. I would, and do, highly recommend Alan to everyone I know. Looking forward to many more visits, Alan please don’t leave Reading!
