Top notch selection of every day brands and even some professional products, reasonably priced. I have to say, though, I'd love this place far more if the staff weren't so pushy and borderline rude. Maybe it depends on who you are, but I find that as soon as you walk in, staff are watching you like a hawk, and not in the "hi there, I'd totally love to help!" kind of way. I've seen workers be really snarky to some customers, and the atmosphere has me wanting to buy and get out as quickly as I can. So, staff get a 1 and the store itself, 4/5. Together, Shaba, you've been rolled down to a 3 star place to go when I need to get my hair on point.

Try the Dyptique line or even the Space NK, which is a little cheaper but still smells like heaven.

As my roll model advised, fed up with my own barnet I had a look around the African beauty shops in Brixton for an alternative. If you are looking to buy a wig, value for money and quality wise, you can't really get better than this area. A huge selection of shops with a variety of styles. After much trying on and playing with all of the wigs in the shop I walked out with a £30 real hair shaggy cut. Fabulous! It's great for when you just fancy a change or if you're having a bad hair day. I'd suggest coming in this shop with a friend. You can get a little carried away and end up walking out with a Tina Turner number if you take the fella behind the counters' advice.

I'm not sure how I discovered this place, but it makes me happy to come here because I get to pick up all my Palmers cocoa butter goodies. The range of Palmers that they have here is more than I have seen in any chemists, and it is also cheaper, by almost a third of the price. There is a full range of beauty care for Asian and Afro skin and hair. What I also like is the slightly cheesy range of hair accessories and jewellery. Have you ever wondered where all the velvet alice bands have gone? Look no further! Still, there are a few so-kitch- its Shoreditch-cool gold earrings and necklaces to be found here, at tiny prices.

Contacted seller and asked them to contact Royal Mail as they will only deal with seller and not with the intended receiver. Seller stated that Royal Mail claimed that it had been delivered to my house, but I've now spoken to all my housemates and confirmed that they were on placement or working and were not in the house at the supposed time of delivery. The signature that Royal Mail supposedly got from me looks nothing like mine, and I was at Uni at the time of delivery. It could have been a mistake on Royal Mail's part, but there's nothing I can do on my end to rectify that and I resent paying money for items that didn't arrive at my house. If they had pursued a complaint with Royal Mail instead of just accepting what they said I wouldn't be writing this review, but as they didn't I wouldn't recommend dealing with this shop as they won't have your back if there's a delivery issue.

Actually located in Jermyn Street, this long-established (1854) family business situated in a tiny shop, is both a hairdresser and barber for men, and sells an extensive and very traditional range of men's grooming products. These include an enormous range of shaving brushes, and soaps, shaving oils, hair-tonics and after-shaves in long-established, traditional fragrances. Made using the finest pure ingredients, the emphasis is on discreet, uncomplicated, masculine aromas - think sandlewood and citrus - at very reasonable prices. The shaving brushes in particular make lovely gifts, starting at the porcelain-handled versions from £35, up to silver-handled brushes, complete with stand, from £130. They have an extensive on-line shop, but a visit to the shop is an experience in itself - and for the men, why not go the whole hog and indulge yourself in a shave?

Location: Oxford Street, London, England LAX somehow lost my luggage with all my toiletries and photo op clothes inside! Ugh! Fortunately London is in a First World Country where I can still get my mandatory metrosexual needs. Tbh I never heard about Boots until the English gal at the theatre told me about... Boots is the British version of CVS/Walgreens in America. It's the largest pharmaceutical chain in the UK boosting about 2,500 locations in the UK and elsewhere. Boots dates back to 1849 starting as an herbal medicine shop in Nottingham. The location I visited was located on Oxford Street in Mayfair, London. I walked over... "But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own And in your eyes you're holding mine..." Entering Boots was so familiar. The security up front, cashiers to the side. The pharmacy in the back. I came specifically for - eye contacts solution. Boots had what I needed and more. I was now in search of small scissors that I could transport on a plane. Then I turned and she... "Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight..." The young lady, with shades of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, turned to me and asked if I needed help. I told her what I needed and she walked me over to each spot. Scissors, tweezers, deodorant, toothpaste, juicy apple shampoo, and even shortbread fingers! All the while I'm admiring how gorgeous this Boots gal is. Hmm I wonder was she wearing equestrian boots? Did she ride a horse? Would she go out with me to a romantic picnic on the English country side? Barefoot on the glass. Hmm... "Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets To carry love, to carry children of our own..." In the end, Boots had everything I was looking for, sans the Lysol wipes. I did get a generic version at Tesco. Boots, as far as I know had nothing to do with equestrian boots or the like, instead it's named after the founder with a surname of Boot. I admit my fantasies got the best of me oh my! The English gal, the Pharmacy gal, not the theatre gal, who helped me was certainly gorgeous and Brit proper. I hope one day to have kids with her, maybe? "Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, w/ you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song I have faith in what I see... Now I know I have met an angel in person And she looks perfect I don't deserve this You look perfect tonight... You look perfect tonight..." https://youtu.be/eiDiKwbGfIY

The ladies who work here really know their stuff and are fully trained make up specialist, so if its a false nose or false lashes, they will almost always sort you out. What's so great about it is the size, there is room to browse even when you are in there with 30 other Halloween wannabes, and they hold more stoke of white face paint and fake blood than anyone else I know. You can also get bargains here if you ask. When you are at the counter, see what alternatives they have for the products you've chosen and they'll give you cheaper options if available. They also have sales on great branded professional make up. It's like play time for adults in here. So now you know for next year and you'll see me rushing past the other idiots who are desperately looking for fake blood on the 31st October in central London.

Excluding the prosphectic body parts, I'm quite sure (but yet to test) that some of the theatrical makeup they stock could double up and be quite wearable day-to-day. I'm very excited to find they stock glittery gold make up - solid gold when applied thick, and shimmery when rubbed in. Will definitely come back to purchase it for a Ziggy Stardust karaoke night (if I ever organise one) and then will wear it as an eye shadow. I particularly like the brushes, and make up brush holders here. They also stock a huge range of makeup from Illamasqua - normal consumer make up with a theatrical flair - I have seen it described as the 'new MAC'.
