Well worth the price. This is a Clean, and friendly salon good for a same day appointment or even walk in . Great for a basic or standard haircut. I had high expectations when going in. As you can see from my before and after pictures, I had quite a lot of length cut off and was expecting a more stylish cut. I ended up with a pretty standard Bob, which is still nice, but not my ideal. I had detailed pictures of what I wanted but the hairdresser wanted me to "name" the haircut. Like short-angled bob or something like that. She seemed to have a bunch of hair cuts memorised in her head but had trouble letting her creative side take over. But once again, I probably should go to a more experienced salon and hair stylist if I'm expecting a true hair style. There seemed to be about 50% men and 50% women getting their hair cut on the Saturday I went. Definitely a good deal for the price. read more

See all

I walked past this place on the way to work most days so when I realised that I hadn't gotten it cut for about 6 months I booked an appointment,. I was booked in with a Russian gent called Edward. I have extremely dry, curly hair. Most stylists want to chop inches off and layers in to my hair in a bid to make it more manageable. Not Edward. He recognised that my hair is extremely thick and that layers would make it more unmanageable. He knew that cutting 5 inches off wouldn't make it less dry than it already is. He simply did what was best, which was just cut an inch off. After I get my hair washed at salons, it normally takes 2/3 stylists no joke to brush the knots out. No jokes. Not with Edward. He had it brushed out and trimmed in the space of 30 mins, and even though I didn't request a blow dry, he gave me one anyway and didn't charge. Can't recommend this place enough, I've been to a lot of the top salons in London and this place definitely did the best job of cutting my hair. read more

I went their last Sunday at 12.40 (as Michael), and I probably had the worst hairdressing experience in my life. After a nice head massage, the hairdresser (a lady) used very hot water, which was only the start to a disastrous experience. She pretty much cut my hair exactly as I have told her not to, although she seemed to have exactly understood what I wanted. Finally, when I waited for her to dry my hair, she said: "it's all done!" and let me go with wet hair (at an outside temperature of about 8°C). When I came home I had to rinse out all the loose hairs and basically finish the hairdresser's job. Well, what did I pay 17 Pounds for here? It seems as if I was really unlucky with the employee who was assigned to me. After the experience I thought that it was too bad to be true. I must admit, normally I am not critical at all but this was just a horrific experience. read more

went here last minute recently as i was headed on a trip home to california and was in desperate need of a cut and color. after searching the internet, this was the lowest price i could find, near my place, and was willing to take me the same afternoon. i ended up getting a trim and highlights/lowlights to cover up my previously grown out highlights. i really liked the color actually - i wanted to go darker all together and she ended up doing low lights with a few blonder pieces blended in which i thought worked well. probably a little blonder/noticeable than i would have wanted, but none the less a good job. the cut was fine - not great and she should have asked for more feedback. i also should have been more aggressive and told her i wanted my fringe and layers cut more. i would still probably go back based on location to my flat, as well as the price point - it was about 100 pounds total for 1/2 head of highlights and the cut. read more

Another Successful cut from a lovely chatty girl. £18.50 and no appointment is nothing to be sniffed at!

Been to this location a few times, but recently did full colour, wash & cut with Julia and she was really good! Extremely thorough in applying colour and detailed when styling the cut. She is very good at listening and pleasant person. Am definitely requesting her specifically when I return in a month. Only reason why I'm not giving full 5-stars, is cos City Cuts & Colours does not do student discounts. read more

Was looking for a cheap but "safe" place to get my highlights done and found this place randomly on google. Abby, from the Baker street salon, did a good job, the colour was not exactly the one I had in mind, but looks good too...cant complain, good service, friendly staff, quick and under 35 quid. read more

Great customer service. Got a cut and highlights to touch up my roots, and my stylist (forgot his name, but he was Italian) got the color perfectly. read more

I came to this place as a regular when I was an exchange student at London Business School. This place is right across the Baker Street station exit and short walk from LBS, extremely convenient. I especially liked the barber's customer service and friendly attitude here. The barbers here are also very skilled. You just have to be specific with them on what you want your hairstyle to be like, and they will make it look great! Come have a try especially if you are a student nearby. The price is also quite reasonable for an establishment in the downtown of London. read more

Amazingly good experience with Chanelle at City Hair. I was in London for work and in need of a color touch up, and had been considering a new style. Chanelle looked at my hair for the best color match then assessed my long hair, with layers, and moving to a bob. Nearly two weeks later and I love the new style, highly recommend City Hair and Chanelle. Thank you! read more

I always go here for a wash and blowdry, nothing else. I also always book but I have no idea why because walk ins appear to get priority. But it is cheap, by london standards- long hair blowdry £21.90 amd the wait wouldnt be so bad but i'm usually getting a blowdry before catching a plane, so the wait then is never good. Have never really had a totally rotten blow dry but it really depends who you get as to how much value for money it is, as theres one scary blonde girl who manages to rip out most of my hair by the root while simultaneously blowdrying my hair flat to my head(its a gift i tells you) oh and try not to get the wine expert who drones on about how smart he is and is the last person you want to listen to after a long day at work! read more

I've been going here on and off for a few years and have never had a bad cut. Several different stylists have cut my hair and all have been friendly and experienced. I've found I can usually walk in without an appointment on weekday evenings which is great. My only issue is that although it was amazing value when I had short hair, for very long hair (mine is about armpit level) the price for wash, cut and dry goes up to about £40 - no cheaper than other salons. read more

Quality of cuts vary A LOT. First time I was there, had an extremely horrible cut - the hairdressor literally spent only 5 minutes on trimming my hair. As a result the trim was horrendous - very uneven length, hair sticking out here and there...I looked far worse after the cut than before. Second time I was there (only returning because it was the cheapest place in the area, thought I would give this place one final chance), hairdressor was actually shocked to see how bad my previous cut was. I told them it was done at their very own salon. This time around, cut was good, suit me very much, and hairdressor was nice. Her name is Gona. If I am to visit this salon again, I would definitely ask for her. read more

Popped in expecting a good haircut like last time, but have now realised that the service depends on the hairdresser you get. The lady who gave me the haircut this time seemed to be in a rush and even dropped her tools several times in a hurry to get the cut quickly done. After just about 10 minutes and with an uneven embarrassing haircut, I was ushered to the billing counter. Needless to say I am not going back to this place again. read more

Was looking for a better value hairdressers near my work and went here for a cut and blow dry having read the other reviews. Can highly recommend it! It is very unpretentious, which I loved but if you're used to higher end salons you may not- no tea or coffee, basic decor, bustling rather than calm atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming which is better than a lot of other places- I really hate surly receptionists. The hairdresser (zlata) did an amazing job. She checked carefully what I wanted and has given me a really good cut- much better than the last one I had from a much more expensive place. As I have a bob it requires a certain level of precision cutting and her technique was flawless. She even showed me a new way of blow drying my hair at home, and having tried it myself now it's brilliant- it's the first time in years I've got my hair to look super sleek without the aid of straighteners. It cost me £32.90 as my hair is mid length- it's slightly less for short and slightly more for long hair. If you want to save money you could wash your hair yourself at home and skip the blowdry- then it would only be £18.50. There is no pressure to have a blowdry, she checked with me if I wanted one before she started cutting. They have a loyalty system where if you go 6 times you get your next cut half price. Will definitely be returning! read more

Wow, i was so happy with the cut and colour. Went here as my friend recommended the salon to me. I was a little sceptical at first but i am so happy with the outcome i thought i'd post this review to say thanks. Will definatley be going back. read more

Been hear a few times for a basic wash, trim and blow dry. The staff is very nice and the cut itself is good value. I'm not getting anything revolutionary done to my hair so it certainly serves my purpose. Very conveniently located across from Baker Street station. I've been able to walk in as well as book with short notice. read more

Update December 2016: my last haircut was pretty bad. I had to return to fix whatever craziness they had done to the back...

Frances from City Cuts & Colours gave me the exact hair style that I was idealizing in my mind. A guy from my class wouldn't leave me alone later that day because I looked "striking" and "really nice" and claimed we didn't talk enough, haha. When I left the salon, the hair was still clinging to my head a little from my previous hair cut. I woke up this morning to find that it looked totally totally awesome and has so much style and isn't weighed down anymore, etc. I'm extremely happy! Frances is the best. Also, it was only 20 and that was good. read more

I really like City Cuts they are centrally located, and offer a great value for money. I pay for a hair cuts + highlights + lowlights (full head, a short bob) about £100, which is very reasonable (if not to say cheap!). Usually I would be suspicious I can get a good service at that price, and I am VERY fussy with my hair, but I found a great stylist Andrea (aka AJ), who is an Australian hairdressing miracle. I am a big fan of her talent she is really a profi, and very versatile too, as she is equally brilliant with long and short hair, and with blond and dark colours (yes, I tried it all!). Another plus she never dumps her problems on her clients, and is always friendly and attentive. The manager, Maria, is very fair and welcoming (she can be mostly found in the reception area), and remembers customer preferences well. While waiting for my hair to be dyed, I am always offered tea/coffee/water, and their coffee is great (they have purchased a professional coffee machine a while ago). Plus, they are centrally located, meaning I can go shopping afterwards. Great! read more

this place has terrible service. got there 10 minutes after my "appointment" time because of the awful london metro traffic and then it took me even more time to find the place. then i get there and the woman in the till tells me that i can come back in 2 hours because now they were full even though this was not true and two of the girls who cut hair were free and just looking at me. then the woman said that if you want to leave, then leave you missed your appointment. awful service and terrible manners. read more
