I find it easiest to just get my hair blown out and leave it for several days and I didn't bring a…read moreblow dryer or really any hair products to London. I looked on Yelp for the closest highly rated salon near my hotel (St Ermins) and called for an appointment a few days before. Easy! It was just a few minutes away from my hotel, but it took me at least 15 minutes to find it (I'm directionally challenged). I was a few minutes late, but they were very understanding. It's a small salon and was pretty busy on this Friday afternoon. They washed me and dried my hair relatively fast. While it wasn't as good as the blowouts I get at home, it lasted me thru the next leg of our trip in Paris. Mission accomplished!

Fyi, this negative review is based on a bad customer service experience and not on a bad haircut. I…read morewas visiting London and desperately needed a haircut. I found Headmasters through yelp and they looked to have good reviews. I didn't need anything fancy, so I was OK with having anyone at a decent salon cut my hair. I arrived right when they opened on a Sunday in hopes that no one booked an appointment first thing in the morning. When I arrived, I asked the young man working there if they accepted walk-ins - yes; is anyone available now? - no; Ok, is there any availability later today? - maybe; Do you know around what time maybe? - 3pm, but I'm not sure; Alright, should I just come back after 3 or can I book something now? - I don't know, they'll probably be all booked by then. At this point I just walked away, they obviously didn't want my business. I understand I'm a walk-in so can't get preferential treatment over their customers with an appointment, and I get that I have no idea of how busy they are. But he already told me there might be an opening after a certain time and didn't bother to check who was free, thus not allowing my any services. This is at 9am, he literally just opened the doors to the shop, and no other customers were there. If you're fully booked, just say you're fully booked. I can understand that. Again, I can't attest to how they do hair as I wasn't even given the opportunity to even get my foot through the door. One star for the bad service by the front desk. I know this doesn't change much for their regular customers, but hopefully new customers can bring their business some where they are wanted.

Today I discovered what happens when you get a 20 quid hairstyle. A beautiful man, who may or may…read morenot know what he is doing, shears off all your hair. Headmasters do a £20 stand by appointment service, just ring an hour before you want it done and they try to fit you in. They do warn that you don't get to pick your stylist. They don't warn that you might get a jaw droppingly gorgeous blonde with epic biceps that looks like he belongs on a catwalk or a surfboard. So laid back, he was sitting across the street in a doorway having a fag while I was getting my hair washed. I was a little bemused and terrified through the whole experience. I was never entirely sure that he hadn't spent his career to this date in a poodle parlour. He ruffled my hair a lot, excessively so, it was quite funny actually. He spent an awful long time gazing at me, sniping away and staring at me. No-one this good looking has ever looked at me this intensely. He cut and cut and cut, then got out a razor. No one has ever used a razor on my hair in my entire life! This haircut is precise! F#@k it's short! I'm not sure how he ever thinks I will style it. Seriously he might be the worst hairdresser in the world or the best, am too dazzled to decide. Headmasters lose a star because he ghd'd my hair instead of blow drying it straight, which is the laziest thing to do. A good hairdresses can dry it poker straight. The staff are all young and fun and friendly, you will get a great cut here.

Well worth the price. This is a Clean, and friendly salon good for a same day appointment or even…read morewalk 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.

I walked past this place on the way to work most days so when I realised that I hadn't gotten it…read morecut 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.

why the poor review?

I'm not saying they're bad at cutting fair. we all know anyone cut use a trimmer and that's easy anyone can do it. . I'm just trying to justify why their prices are three times more than average and they offer nothing special in comparison to others. you want us to pay a high price? Prove its worth it

Booking experience - as an expat living in Singapore traveling to the UK for an occasion, I booked online via the Yelp appointment messaging function. It was my first time using this feature, and I was so happy with the experience. The salon was so responsive (living up to their 100% responsiveness rate), which made it really easy for me to book even with timezones and my busy Pre-travel schedule. I even booked in my boyfriend (who was traveling from the US) for an appointment! The service - from start to finish, everyone I interacted with at the salon was incredibly nice and respectful, both to the customers and each other which made for a great experience. They also had me come in a day early to test the toner for allergies, which showed me the level of care/thought they put in, and I was able to align on the plan for my hair with my fabulous stylist Hannah. It was clear from that convo that Hannah knows what she's doing with blonde highlights AND curly hair - I always ask for recommendations from my stylists (trust the experts!) without me even telling her, she did exactly as I have had done by my hair stylist in the US who had been doing my hair for 5+ years: a mix of blondes to give dimension, extra of the light blonde and layers around my face to frame it, and some light layers in the back for crown volume. The color/cut - Hannah did a fantastic job with both! The color turned out amazingly natural looking, just the right level warmth, and some shine (which is difficult to get with my dry curly hair). The layers at the face were exactly the angle I like them, and I can see a slight difference in crown volume from the layers in the back. The price - for the level of service and quality of cut/color, the prices were very reasonable! I had gone to a much more expensive salon in London over the holidays, as I was nervous about a bad result (charging £60 for a blow out, which I was surprised to find wasn't included in the cut and color), and found that I like my hair from Feel just as much as that salon and actually preferred the service of Feel (much warmer and more personal). Oh and my Boyfriend (who has Long curly hair) also had a great experience with the salon and his stylist, Tom - and was pleasantly surprised at how affordable the salon was! Overall, thanks Feel Hairdressers, Hannah, and Tom for a great experience, and great hair! Hope to see you again soon :)

Finding a good hairdresser is like finding a good man…read more You have to go through many who just don't understand your needs, who don't listen to you, who think they know better and who try to rush something that coulda been a good thing. So when you do find a gooden (I have heard it happens occasionally) you've got to hold onto them for dear life and never let them go. Ever. Discovered by my flat mate who popped in after work one night and had her hair cut by the the only person available (Are you mad? I was thinking as she told me) it turned out to be the best hairdressers she'd ever been to. So after inspecting her (after all they say the proof is in the pudding) I decided I'd give it a go myself and booked an appointment. The difference with Echo is that it's a tiny Japanese run salon and they seem to have a welcomely different ethos about hair, not to mention superb cutting skills. Junya washed and cut, which was a nice surprise since as I'm used to being shuffled off in different directions for each, before spending the best part of an hour blow drying it to perfection. Although the clientele is mostly Japanese I didn't feel out of place and I actually enjoyed the whole experience. Apart from a terrifying moment when I realised that there was a slight language barrier between the two of us ("I'd like a few sharp layers put in"... "oh you'd like a Pat Sharp, I'll see what I can do" kind of moment) Junya made me feel completely at ease. In the end I got into the spirit of things and said he could do what he liked. I must say it was fantastic, he did all sorts of fancy cutting techniques that transformed my bonce from haystack into seriously hot hair. Hooraaah! I felt like I had stumbled upon the Holy Grail and from that moment on I decided Junya was going to be my best friend (I now understand why some women marry their hairdresser). You're in safe hands here. I promise. As it was my first cut (first of many I hope) I also got a 25% discount and, even better, there was non of that nonsense of trying to sell me stuff at the till. Although it is essentially a walk in salon, I'd advise booking as there are only two seats, with two stylists working at a time so obviously it gets full, fast.
