I was visiting London and was aghast at how scorched my hair had become in Greece. After checking…read morereviews on Yelp, I emailed TOKITO salon overnight and was able to book in for lunch the next day. I walked in very cautious because with a stylist who is a stranger, a lot can be misunderstood - plus, I have hair almost to my waist, and after encountering some stylists who seemed to feel like a few extra unasked inches off was not a big deal (wut), I am scared of new stylists... but no need for fear, here! Hiro is very attentive and listens very carefully, and clearly had no agenda but to apply his expertise to my direction. Hiro cut my hair dry so I could make adjustments as we saw the progress; he was very conservative at my request, and didn't complain in the least when I reconsidered my asks twice and wanted to cut even more to address the dry ends. It was clear I could trust him not to overdo it, which made me trust his judgement. After the main trim, he did a fantastic wash and head massage, used the dryer on only medium heat (which is so much better for your hair!) and did a little more touch-up trimming once my hair was fully blown out. I walked out feeling like a whole new person, and am super grateful to not have haggard hair for my last few days in London!

After having a great haircut, she also advised me on how to do self-treatment for hair loss. My second appointment was with Arkin. He was gentle and efficient, who gave me an excellent hair cut. Arkin also impressed me with his wide knowledge and understanding of our current world. He showed the sign of a thoughtful and well-educated man. I will stay with this Blow Dry Express for the high quality of service. It is also a place where I can enjoy and appreciate having interesting conversations with someone who is sensible and intelligent. Highly recommended.

Great staff, great conversation, great cut. 5 stars.

John ( gorgeous ) deals with the joy that is my hair and he does it well. I don't even need to tell him what to do, he just knows. He also cuts my Mums hair and she travels from Surrey but won't go to anyone else. The salon staff are friendly and though everything from the music to the decor is supercool it is not intimidating. A haircut is a necessity but is also a pamper and this place is a short term escape. They say women are more loyal to their hairdressers than their husbands..... Sean Hanna is well worth a visit!

This location is tiny! And there's no mobile phone reception so make sure to ask for the wifi password if you have to wait. More importantly: Arkin is a hair wizard. I explained that I needed a long lasting style to take me through a dinner that night in London (Tuesday), a conference the following day (Wednesday), and a flight to Phoenix (Thursday). It was a tall order and he delivered. When I took the stage on Friday morning my hair still looked awesome!
