I am beyond particular about my hair and the stylists that cut my hair. But when it comes to having…read morea precision cut I am an absolute fanatic! Urban Roots may have given me the best cut I've EVER received. Skilled, thoughtful, friendly. I rarely find a stylist I love but yesterday I did. Overall everyone at the salon was friendly and it had a cool vibe. I can't believe I waited so long to give this place a try. I can't wait for my next visit. Vas has got to be London's best stylist...

Taylor Taylor is a boutique hair salon on Cheshire street, just off London's famous Brick Lane in…read morethe east. The style and feel of the salon fits in well with Brick Lane's trendsetting style and quirky fashionista / art school feel. What attracted me first to the salon was the fact they have a little resident dog (a king edward spaniel I think) always either sitting at the window, or in summer, just outside. The salon itself has a vintage boudoir feel and is not that huge. It's always pretty busy so make sure you book in advance. I've been there two or three times now but have never left fully satisfied. Although the staff are efficient, helpful and friendly and the salon is really beautifully designed, the actual hair styles I have received have fallen below my personal standards. I always feel there is a danger with these places that they may give you the hair style that's most "in vogue" for them / around that area and, sadly, here that is true. I've had a Rod Stewart mullet a few times and I've left a little dissatisfied. For the price, this place is probably not worth it. Unfortunately, here, it's a case of style of substance.

Ugh. One of the worst experiences I've ever had at a salon. If you're pretentious and happy to pay…read moreridiculous amounts for hair that you could do better at home then this is your place. If not then avoid. The girl doing my hair didn't have a clue when I was asking her about different shades and techniques, every single sentence either began with a swear word or certainly included one. She must have thought this made her edgy? The highlights were rushed, she was complaining about hand cramps and didn't do a throrough job, the colour was off and didn't match the rest of my hair and the staff were all rude. A £10 bottle of bleach would do a better job.

I had been eyeing this place ever since I moved to the area a year ago, but had convinced myself…read moreThe Chapel was out of my price range. What a mistake! For the same price I had been spending for cuts and color, I could have been receiving them with savory nibbles, wine and chocolate biscuits! The Chapel is very different from other salons, and not just because they feed you and allow you to meet stylists as chirpy and charming as Lucinda. The first "I've never done this before" happens if you want to change your hair color. The Chapel requires a skin allergy test 48 hours in advance, which may sound annoying, but it comes with refreshments and is free of charge, so enjoy it! When I went in for my test, I was seated on one of three comfy sofas in the waiting room. I had arrived a bit early and settled into a couch with an Ottolenghi cookbook (no magazines in the waiting area caused another pang of "how different"). Looking around at the coffees people were enjoying with a foil wrapped sweet made me regret turning down a drink when one was offered by the man at the reception desk. I had enough time to convince myself I NEEDED the cookbook before Lucinda popped into the room. The bright Australian casually sat herself down next to me, giving me the feeling we had known each other for ages. She and I discussed the new cut I wanted and we pawed through a tackle box filled with color swatches until I found the perfect new hue for me. Lucinda explained that The Chapel charges by the hour and not by the service. The amount of time needed for an appointment is determined before you are in the stylist's chair, so you know what the bill will be in advance. When read about the charging policy online I thought the whole practice would fill me with anxiety. I imagined the feeling I get when I'm in a taxi, watching the meter click higher and higher. Luckily, this isn't the case at all. I was full of excitement when I returned a couple days later. Dropping my bag off in a little locked drawer, I was ready to unwind. I had decided to treat this as a little spa break and indulgently requested wine when asked if I wanted a beverage. I sipped my complimentary vino while Lucinda applied my color. This was done downstairs, in front of a modern fireplace. I then curled up on a bench seat with a magazine (they do exist here - they're just not in the initial waiting area) and nibbled my veggie crisps. I love the big reveal when you blowdry your hair after dying it and see your new shade for the first time. This time did not disappoint. I had it done weeks ago and am still in love with it. The cut is great too. A little choppy in one place, but I just haven't had time to go back in and have it fixed. I have a strong feeling that would be done quickly and with a smile. The Chapel made me feel more important than I have since I quit my "real job" in Washington, DC a year ago. It's a wonderful place that I can't believe exists. Just too good to be true.

I have had a fear of hairdressers for years. I never seem to find a decent one. By decent I mean,…read morewhere they listen to what I want and I dont run out the door and immediately put on the hat that has been hidden in my bag. All that has now changed. The Chapel, as its name might suggest has converted me. Its a new religion. Upon arrival I was given a full tour of the space and it was explained to me how the salon works, which is different to anything i have experienced before. The waiting area is big fluffy comfortable couches where I'll meet my stylist to chat about my haircut as I want it. Tea/Coffee/Wine and snacks are offered, complimentary. You can see why I fell in love at this exact moment.... have a chat, have a drink, talk about my hair in a way that makes sense to me. As a friend pointed out to me recently, hairdressers have the power to change how you look, very directly and it is SO important to be comfortable with them being in charge of that for you. What is lovely about the whole experience you don't feel like another customer, you don't feel rushed through the salon as if they have some quota to meet. There's a sense of value to you. At every point through my haircut I was offered a chance to play with my hair and see how it felt and whether i liked it or not. I'm not the girliest girl, but the part of me that relishes in make-up and dressing up simply lights up in this place. Its not snooty, or overarching, it just makes sense. I will be going back again and again. Hair Hallelujah!!

Getting a haircut is not something I usually enjoy in fact to be quite honest it's one of my least…read morefavourite things in life. The main reason for this is due to my general ignorance and disinterest for all things follicle I end up like a rabbit in the headlights when faced with the inevitable utterance What would you like done with your hair today, sir?, as to be quite honest I don't have a bloody clue and feel that out of the two of us it should be the hairdresser not my layman self that makes that decision. As a result my idea of a good barbers/hairdressers is somewhere that ideally just chops your locks in a fashion that makes me look as good as possible or at least offers a guiding hand through the decision making process and Tony's is one such place. It's owned and run by young chap (who's name i assume is Tony) and he has the hairdresser to hairdressee banter down to a tee, offering an informed opinion at all the right junctures. At just under £20 I felt it was rather steep but I guess that's heavily down to rental costs in Soho. All in all I'd thoroughly recommend this place if you want to get value for around £20 for a cut.

I intended to book another massage with him next month, after he finished the massage, but Chris informed me that he would be leaving this month and I asked where he would be going, but I forgot, so I called Aveda to find out, who informed me that they don't know, right!

I always think it is slightly strange to review hairdressing saloons as it depends on who is cutting your hair not where you get it cut.
