Consultation Page Coming SoonHairdressing in the Heart of Tilehurst
The 5th Element is based right here in Tilehurst at 24 School Road, welcoming women and men from the local community and across Reading for personalised cutting, colour and specialist hair services.
Being based locally means your salon visit does not need to involve travelling into Reading town centre. Our Tilehurst location gives clients straightforward access to the salon while keeping the experience personal, relaxed and focused on their hair.
Tilehurst itself has a much longer story than its modern residential streets suggest. The settlement was recorded in the 13th century and historically formed part of lands associated with Reading Abbey — a small piece of local history behind the place we call home.
How to Find Us
Our salon is based on School Road in Tilehurst, with convenient nearby parking and straightforward access from Reading and the surrounding area.
