Fabulous salon very conveniently located between Kings Cross and Farringdon! I'd been living in…read moreLondon for a couple months and hadn't gotten a haircut yet, so this was the place I selected based on other great Yelp reviews - they did not lead me wrong! The owner was very sweet and made me feel at home on my first visit. He was great at listening to what I wanted and understanding when I couldn't quite explain it. Started off with a shampoo and an AMAZING scalp massage - haven't had that in a very long time! He cut my hair with care and asked questions along the way to make sure I was happy. As I have shorter, curly, non-fussy hair, my cut and shampoo was an incredible deal of £24!! I will definitely be coming back before leaving town.

I'm almost reluctant to review this place because it's a hidden gem, but that's just too greedy, so…read moreI'm going to share my secret. Avenue manages to be both a neighbourhood salon where little old ladies pop in to have their curls set and chat a while, and also produce some lovely contemporary cuts and styles. I usually try to schedule my appointment at least a week in advance, but if I mess up, they're lovely about trying to schedule a last-minute appointment whenever possible. Fu is particularly good with short hair-- I've had problems getting a good pixie cut at some very expensive salons due to my fine hair, but he consistently does an excellent job. And as others have mentioned, the head massage during the shampoo is amazing! This really is a hidden gem-- a reasonably priced, incredibly friendly salon where everyone is welcome, I can't recommend it enough!

A serious little 3-floor beauty delight!…read more I am a previous client of No 74 having been in a few years ago for a cut and color, and a very nice Yonka facial. Then I had a baby, found a waxer very close to my flat and didn't return, despite always being very happy with No 74 Hair & Beauty. Life got in the way! And now its finally out of the way, my office is around the corner and we are back in love. I booked in for a few waxing services and was (thankfully) assigned to the lovely Sarah -- who is not only an extremely lovely human, but did a fantastic job getting me in tip top shape with very minimal discomfort (seriously!). The space is GORGEOUS. Clean, well curated and spread over 3 floors. It's beautifully appointed and painstakingly considered. It is a joy to walk through the door, and it gets better once you do! I will certainly return to Sarah for all my future waxing needs as well as for facials, which she also does. Brilliant, just brilliant.

I've been going to Sibel for my hair for the past 18 months and have been extremely happy with the quality of her cuts and her coloring skills. She's now helping me transition from my dark brown color to my natural salt and pepper in a way that doesn't look too abrubt. I'm so pleased with the results! I'm about halfway there and should be fully natural in about six months. I highly recommend this team.

The old maxim "all advertising is good, even bad advertising" does not apply to the only form of…read moreadvertising I care about, which is, of course, the self-promotion of me. Sadly I have been recently informed that not cutting your hair for 3 months could be classified as "kind of gross", which is not quite the reaction I was expecting from the rogueish pirate-y look I was going for. So I stopped ignoring the repeated reminders in my calendar that I was months past due for a hair cut and went to the aptly named The Hairdressers. I like the name, I mean, it's clear, it's concise, and you aren't exactly going to get it confused with a haberdashery now are you? If you can imagine getting a hair cut in the living room of a professional stylist who also happened to have a barber's chair and wash basin in his living room, then you have successfully imagined the interior of The Hairdressers. It's really pretty funky, set in one of the many Georgian terraces of Islington. The walls have been graffiti'ed with crayons which helps convey the impression that you are in a very hip young family's home. I've been here twice now and had two different hairdressers. Both have been young and far more stylish than me, and seem to have the miraculous ability to somehow impart some of their stylishness to my hair. This could in fact be the hair product they use as my hair never seems to be quite as good the next day when I try and replicate the result. The only thing I don't like is the price; a guy's haircut is 35 pounds (you get a 10% discount for booking your next appointment on the day). I don't know if that's a lot by London standards but it's certainly a lot by my standards. Still, I guess you get what you pay for and I've certainly felt that was the case both times.

Charmaine is waxer extraordinaire, super fast, and prices are really reasonable. I've been going here to see her for three years (minus last year). I've had two haircuts here now. The first was over two years ago, and I can't remember it - not a great review - but the latest was last week. Said wedding emergency was that my hair looked rubbish. My hair no longer looks rubbish, so that's a start. Ingrid, I believe, thinned out and trimmed my hair so it looked fine. Not great, but fine. Unfortunately, she did it in a slightly painful way - razoring the scissors down my hair - which works fine but probably isn't very good for it. And it hurt. I wasn't in any position to say anything, and it cost £35 so was a decent quick fix. For something special, hair-wise, I'd look elsewhere. Nice massage as they shampoo though. I keep meaning to treat myself for a facial or a massage here - I think they'd be good, and the treatment rooms are clean and inviting. Beware, they take only cash or cheque.

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!

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 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!
