Friends come and go but a good hair stylist is forever. And due to my hair stylist suddenly passing away I had to start at square one, finding a stylist that i can vibe with and have good conversation with as well as trusting somebody new with my hair again. I had been eying Lanes work on Instagram and let me tell you she worked her magic and I think I found my new go to stylist. I have dark, thick, curly hair and was in need for a little blonde to be put back into my life, because we all know blondes have more fun. Lane was extremely knowledgeable when it came to dealing with my hair and the whole process was completely relaxing. I came in with grown out highlights and left happily ever blonde! Having a good hair stylist in life is a must and Lane definitely delivered. read more

Easy place to find just at the base of the big steps on the UW Tacoma campus on Pacific Ave. Industrial interior. Def not a spa like feel, so there isn't a coziness about it at all. Waiting area is in back of shop instead of front what appears as a bar with hard metal stools with no back support. Maybe its unfinished. Kind of had that feel to it. My back is bad, so I just stood to wait for my appt. No water or beverage service at the bar for patrons, so if you have to be there a while, byod (bring your own drink). It's kind of dark inside. My wax girl came to work here from another place, so I'm trying to follow her. The wax room is dark, but the whole place is dark. *absolutely needs more lighting)* Parking is streetside that you have to pay for. The 3 stars is 1) For me..Im trying to save $ and Im used to free parking and it's also limited 'pay to park' 1 1/2 hours max on the street which isnt exactly cool...especially for long appointments. 2) Too dark inside to be performing hair cuts colors and body waxing beause you can't really check your work properly. *Free parking on Sundays so Ill try getting appt on that day* The girls are super sweet and I intend to go back for a haircut soon just because other reviews were rating this place high. Im going to give it a go, but low light does concern me. I'll be all over that. I dont usually let people cut my hair, so this is important. Offering your typical hair salon options cuts.colors.perms.styles etc Body waxing traditional and sugaring Ill try updating review post haircut. Until then....toodles read more

This review is for London's on Dock Street (LDS): I use to go to another salon in Tacoma, until I found LDS and met Emily. She helped me design and refine my longer hair style. She's friendly and efficient. She listens and is responsive. I highly recommend both LDS and Emily. read more

I came here for an updo and my stylist was lovely. She took a lot of time to get my hair just right and in the middle when I made some adjustments, she was totally cool with it. I suggest that you make an appointment by calling because the salon is essentially open when they have appointments. My hair lasted throughout my entire photo shoot, regardless of all the wind. I suggest if you're looking for a stylist that you give this place a try. read more

I am blown away by this response. I get being upset as a stylist when someone flakes but this is completely uncalled for. She was cutting hair right out of school out of her house so not like there was salon cost that she has to worry about paying. And it was two years ago. And she just assumed my circumstances at that time were due to me just being a flake. This is so unprofessional. If you don't want to work with someone tell them your booked for the next couple months they will usually find someone else. read more

Maggie is a wizard with hair... I frequently want to hop from color to color and she always exceeds my expectations. Not only that, but my hair feels if not healthier than before. Professional hair stylist, outstanding human being, also hilarious. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I've been seeing Maggie for the past two years and absolutely love her work. She is a great colorist and discusses realistic expectations on what she can do with my hair and how to keep it healthy and strong. This is a rose gold color she did. Note I went in with my hair already pretty blonde, so she just added color to it. read more

London's itself is such a nice, clean shop. Great atmosphere, nice stylists, and great location. My family and I mainly go for Lexi. She is an amazing stylist. She's patient with my currently young son, great with trying the things my wife comes up with, and most importantly, knows how to make me look good regardless of how much hair is left to work with, (a fair amount now, but it's days are numbered). I'm sure the other stylists are just as good, but I can't speak to their personality, humor, or just generally awesome attention to detail Lexi has. So if you get your haircut by Lexi, tell her I sent you. It won't get you anything, and she'll genuinely be confused, but I'll have a good laugh about it when I see here at my next haircut. read more

I have been getting my hair done by Maggie regularly for the past year and WOW. she takes my vague idea and makes it better than I imagined. my last appointment I took the leap and cut 6 inches off, switched my color completely and she went with it and delivered AMAZING results. Cannot recommend Maggie's skills more for vibrant, original coloring and great cuts. read more

Lexi is absolutely wonderful!!! I was a client of hers at Rudy's and when she moved to London's On The Ave, I followed right behind her!! She listens to what her clients want and she gives them exactly that!! I was terrified to ditch my fake blonde locks and head back to the dark side, and she made me completely comfortable and didn't let me leave until I loved my hair!! The salon is super cute and trendy. The decor is my favorite. Very clean and welcoming. Everyone said hello to me when I walked in! I'll definitely be back!! read more

Amanda Scissorhands rocks! She gave me a great hair cut and was just cute, funny, and cool! Her prices are quite reasonable and she has me for a client as long as I still have hair! Ha ha! read more

Being a military family means having to "re-find" all the important things when you get to a new place. I would venture to say that finding a hair stylist that I like has consistently been the most difficult of my regular services to find in each of our locations. I'm so glad I found Lane at London's on the Ave! The shop is super cute, very convenient, and I felt comfortable right away. I was in on a Saturday morning, and due to an impending storm, things were relatively slow. I gave Lane an idea of what I was looking for, some of the things I like and don't like about my more recent color endeavors, and let her create something great. I was really interested in the balayage process, with hopes that it would allow my color to look a little less blunt when it grows out. Lane did a great job on that process, as well as getting the tone for a nice auburn to work with it as well. I also really liked that when she styled my hair, she didn't load it down with product. I don't typically use a lot of product in my hair, and I've had experiences where I want to wash my hair within about 2 hours of leaving the salon because it feels so heavy. Definitely not the case here, and I really appreciate that! I'm a few days into my cut and color, and I'm still loving it! I can stop searching for my stylist here - I found her! read more

London's is perfect. All the girls are incredibly sweet, and they work magic on hair. Not to mention its soooo cute inside. I've never been more impressed by a salon in my life. I'm incredibly impressed by Maggie, she's always willing to go out of the box with my hair and try anything, even if it's brand new :) She is a hair wizard! I've never had a more positive experience than I do at London's On The Ave:) I'd love to see pictures of the "horrible" job that someone has suggested Maggie did. Haters gonna hate. Long Live *~*~* read more

LEXI IS THE BEST! I followed her from Rudys and will never see anyone else! Cuts or color, she is the best! The shop is super cozy, coffee close by, and Lexi is the nicest person you'll ever meet with skills above expectations! read more

This salon is so cute, clean and they have the nicest stylists that know what they're doing and how to take care of your hair. I always get a short pixie cut from Maggie. She's a girl who can do it all; short cuts, longer cuts and amazing color that leaves your hair looking healthy. She posts her color treatments on her Instagram and Facebook pages https://www.facebook.com/Hair-by-Maggie-241545415906990/ As well as tips and warnings against trends that could damage your hair. Maggie is sweet, fun to talk to and a professional at what she does. If you're getting color I recommend her. If you're getting a cut I recommend her. She's the best stylist I've found in the Seattle AND Tacoma. I drive from Seattle to get my hair cut with her because she has been my favorite so far and I know that I will be able to come back to her for a long time. read more

Lexi cuts my hair---She is absolutely amazing with shorter hair styles!!! definitely the best haircuts I have ever had. I have mine razor cut which works great for my fine but thick hair and as it grows out it continues to lay in place beautifully. I swear if Lexi becomes your stylist you will not be sorry. Plus she always asks and delivers exactly the style you want. combine her skills with her great personally and for me she's a "keeper" I also love that I can call or text her directly to set up my appointments 253-257-0851 Thank you so much Lexi read more

What a Great place! Everyone is so sweet, my hairdresser Amanda is amazing! I absolutely Love the cut and color she did for me. I wasn't sure what I wanted and she did exactly what I didn't know I wanted. I will definitely be back to see Amanda. read more

I love this Salon! Maggie does my hair and she is fabulous!!! Maggie is so creative and she really listens to you, I am very protective over my hair and she is the only person that I would trust to touch it, I really trust her and she always does an amazing job. read more

I've been on a search for a new esthetician and the other day a friend of mine recommended Jessica. Yesterday I went in to get a brow and lip wax and it was a wonderful experience. She was very nice and professional and her prices are very reasonable. Will definitely see her for more services! Thank you Jessica! read more

The salon is so cute, everyone is very friendly and the location is convenient! I always see Maggie and she works wonders on my hair! She is amazing at coloring and has done my hair many times. I always love how my hair turns out and appreciate the time she spends to make it look great. I would recommend Maggie and London's to any friend! read more

Love the atmosphere here. I've gone three times to see Maggie. She always matches my hair perfectly!

Get your hair done by maggie. If you don't get it done by maggie you will wish you had gone to maggie and end up going to her anyways. Do it right the first time. 10/10 read more

Wow - I have to say Maggie is the sweetest girl and does fabulous work! Love how my hair color turned out, but I was completely shocked by the prices!! Very overpriced, make sure you budget for this salon! I won't go back! read more

Ashley was my hair stylist. She was nice and easy to talk to. However I am not happy with how my hair turn out AT ALL. I asked her to trim my bang a little shorter and less hair in the middle. I ended up with uneven cut. Too much hair on one side and the other side was cut too short. Now my hair look worst than any 5 year old that got their hair cut by their mom. read more

I've only been to London's On The Ave once and had Maggie do my hair but my time spent was exceptional. Maggie took my hair from a brassy blonde, to a rich and lively deep dark brown color. My hair had so much health restored to it and I felt at home while I was in the Salon. All of the ladies working were friendly, funny and helpful. They speak to you like you're one of their friends! I would highly recommend anyone and everyone get their hair done at London's and I'll definitely be going back to Maggie very soon! read more

So I was in need of a trim big time and they offer discounts to UW students as well, so I figured why not. I had the pleasure of having my hair cut and trimmed by Maggie who I have to say did an AMAZING job! She was not only entertaining to talk to but her work is quality. My hair feels 10 lbs. lighter and looks so great. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a haircut, she listens well and does flawless work to fulfill whichever look you'd like. She had mentioned that her clientele is largely color, and although I have never colored my hair, I might be back just to have my hair done by her! read more

I had moved to Tacoma and needed to find a new stylist. I had also decided I wanted to embrace my natural grays(they were taking over), changing from being a redhead for over 20 years. Two situations that brought some stress. However, from the moment I sat in Neysa's chair and she walked me through her ideas she made me feel at ease. Not only that the finished product was amazing and I get lots of compliments. I am thrilled I found Neysa at London's on the Ave! read more

London's on the Ave is always so welcoming and warm. The stylist that I see (Maggie) is always so nice, friendly and does an AMAZING job on my hair. She takes the time to make it look amazing and really listens to what her clients are looking for. I refer all of my friends to her and London's because I have never heard a bad thing about them! London's is the only salon that I come back to, time and again. read more

I live in Seattle and will fight traffic even at the worst hours of the day just to have Maggie do my hair. Before she became my permanent hairstylist she had fixed multiple bad highlight and bleach and tones I had gotten at previous salons. On top of that the rest of the girls at the salon always make me feel welcome and it's just a great atmosphere and location overall read more

Maggie is the absolute best! She's the only person I will let get near my hair with a pair of scissors. She never disappoints!

I went in to get my hair fixed. A salon I had tried completely messed up my hair. Maggie came to my rescue!! She fixed my cut, and a few weeks later, fixed my color! I have always had a hard time going to salons because I have thick, curly/wavy hair, and I always end up getting the stylists that don't know what to do with me! Maggie did a fantastic job, and I have found my permanent salon. Everyone was so great. The atmosphere was so welcoming, and I really felt like everyone there cared. I would recommend any of the stylists to anyone. Seriously, the best salon experience of my life. read more

I see Maggie here for the most amazing color I have ever gotten! She's so good with fashion colors and is a fabulous artist. Great space as well, and a really welcoming staff overall. Can't recommend it enough!! read more

I've been to Maggie at London's three times now and she is amazing! She is great at doing color (the first time we did lavender and lately it has been a silver/ gray ombré) and educating me on how to style my hair is different ways. Everyone at this salon is super nice and I always feel like I'm hanging out with friends. If you want a fun and colorful hair style, make sure you ask for Maggie! read more

Love this salon, and I would honestly never go anywhere else ever again. All the girls are so professional & work absolute miracles on my hair. I always see Maggie Murray and she's a literal hair WIZARD. There's a reason they win Best of the South Sound year after year. The London's team strives for excellence and proves it with each & every client. read more

Best hair experience I have ever had! They were fast and my hair looked amazing! Ask for Lane!

Maggie is a hair magician. She does my hair flawlessly every single time. My cuts are always on point and exactly what I'm looking for. My last appointment, I decided to color my hair and it came out even more amazing than my reference pictures. I look like a dark unicorn and I couldn't be happier. Make an appointment with her. You won't regret it! I would also like to add the salon itself and the ladies who work there are just incredible. Always friendly and helpful. The salon is always fresh and clean. read more

I'm looking for how to add stars. I need more buttons! Let me first start with my raves for the ambiance. There is so much great light and open space and it's just flat out cool. I feel like I'm in the hippest hair joint in Tacoma . . . and that is probably because I am. These ladies have been winning Best of South Sound since they opened and it is clear why they are the salon of choice. I was transitioning from a salon the I had been going to for 13 years - I was nervous to be honest but I would follow my stylist to another state - she's just that good, but I will come back to her, as I will save the best for last. The Londons team - and you definitely get the sense that they are a team - are awesome. The owner, Keila always comes over if she is there to take a minute to say hello and personalizes the experience. If feels real because she is real and it just makes you feel that much more welcome. Now let me tell you about my girls there. If you need a sugar wax - Jeselle is the girl. Fast, low discomfort and just a pro at what she does. Love her! And now for Jessica - Jessica has been doing my hair and my husbands hair for over a decade. She is hands down one of my most favorite people in this world. She has a heart of gold and the professional skill to match. I will tell you she is incredibly talented but what I think is even more important is that she gives you the kind of service most people can't even dream of. I could take up paragraphs of the amazing service she has given our family over the last decade but suffice it to say - she has our families loyalty for life. So if you are ever that person that finds themselves in that scary position of needing to change stylists or salons . . . let it be Londons' . . . just do it. read more
