First to review, YAY!!…read more So I'm pretty particular with my hair, and haven't had a proper hair cut in around 2 years (I trim the ends myself), but I wanted a huge change and wanted a hair dresser who I could trust. I searched and searched for a salon around my area who was not only recommended but was a good price. I stumbled across Love Hair, I checked them out on line, and even emailed them to make sure I was booking the right option. I used the online booking system- Treatwell, and ended up with a same day appointment, YAY! When I arrived at Love Hair, I was a tad early, so was happy to wait. Unfortunately I ended up waiting around 30-45mins, which was beyond Jane's control. Luckily, Jane and Jack are both super friendly, and were keeping me updated the whole time. So onto the cut. I LOVE IT! Jane really listened to what I wanted, and took a great pride in her work. Even though she was now running over 45mins behind her schedule, she did not rush me or the cut at any time. Love Hair Brixton is a reasonably new salon, and in a sea of salons their friendliness, passion and skills is what will bring me back.

This salon used to be a favourite of mine but for various reasons I won't go back there. They…read moredon't listen to you, rushed jobs done of hair colour and also inappropriate comments about customers and up selling of products. I have had to return twice or more for a root retouch or where the colourist hasn't listened or realised what strength colour should be put in first place or where grey roots have shown after as little as 2-3 weeks. When I voiced my concerns it appeared they listened but when I returned again, no they hadn't listened at all as same mistakes were made again. You have to ask a few times for a cup of tea! Hectic frantic salon. A couple of the other stylists are ok. Cuts have been good in the past.

I brought Lolly the doggy I'm looking after at the moment with me and they were totally cool about having her there and everyone was so friendly. Okay down to the nitty gritty, nope you don't get a drink when you walk in (but that doesn't really bother me) Yes you do get a lovely head rub while you're hair is being washed ( Lolly got a tummy rub - she's a fan too!) Yes they made me feel comfortable and yes they asked me how I liked it all the way through. Actually it was a really enjoyable hour I spent in here and even grabbed a coffee from 1001 on my walk home. I have new hair and am a happy lady! £35 was pretty fair for the service too!

Independently owned hair salon Vision, located within The Truman Brewery just off Brick Lane, is…read morepopular amongst locals and the press alike having featured in Vogue, Tank and ID magazines. A contemporary and cool salon, Vision's staff of 10 stylists (nee hairdressers) and six colourists are as capable of giving you a classically beautiful barnet as they are of fashioning your hair into an avant garde do. However, this being the trendy East End it's probably best to state which side of the classic/trendy divide you reside on. Being a classic gal myself, I'd recommend Toby for a particularly chic - read: not at all Shoreditch - cut.

I work in the film industry as a film editor and used to work next door to them ( Jigami…read moreHairdressers) at a post production place, Art For Noise. A friend recommended I pop in to speak to a colourist at their new shop (now Natural Colour Works), as recently I have tried something a little different with me hair... I started the process of dying my hair grey. Im 60 this year and I was so tired of dying my roots dark brown every 8 days.. I wanted to go dark grey all over and let my silver grow into that. But as anyone knows who has tried this.. its not an easy process. You have to go thru many stages to get where you want to be.. And the recent toner I had put on was a little too lavender for my taste and I wanted to replace that toner with another darker grey toner. But I wanted to use some more natural products if possible that would be gentler to my hair. So yesterday I went into NCW for a consultation. I spoke to a young woman in her 30's who looked at my hair reluctantly and asked me what it was that I hoped to achieve.. and then she said, " Well, we do have a wonderful natural product that would remove the toner you have.. But I certainly WONT DO IT.. as I think what you have done to your hair was a very bad idea.. we would NEVER do that here!.. Let me ask if anyone else here would be willing to do it." She went off and asked a senior stylist.. he tilted his head in my direction, made a face.. then shook his head. She returned. " He REFUSES to do it as well. But there is a place around the corner I can send you to called Bleach London, they will bleach your hair as much as you want them to... but that will certainly ruin your hair even more than you already have. I would never do what you have done to my hair.. as I love my long hair." to which I replied, " Let me get this straight. You say you have a natural product that will remove this toner without damaging my hair, but you are refusing to offer me that.... but are instead sending me somewhere where they will surely damage my hair? Sorry but i'm confused. I do not want to bleach my hair again.. I just want a different toner on it." She then went to 2 other stylists who also turned around and looked at me, made face of disgust and shook their heads NO. Their clients also turned around and stared at me.. (this is a very small salon, where you could hear everything that was being said) This public shaming made me feel just terrible. I left. I can honestly say, this was the most unpleasant, unhelpful and embarrassing hair experiences of my life. I have never encountered such rudeness or snobbery in a hair salon! To say to someone.. yes we "could " use our wonderful natural products on you but we refuse to do so.." What is the point of that? Other than to try to make me feel really terrible. I left the salon and walked to my car and burst into tears. I desperately do NOT want to be a woman in my 60's with died brown hair. I think it looks ridiculous. But really, who needs an experience like that? Trying to grow old gracefully is tough enough already! Thankfully I didnt give up and I found a colourist with some compassion as well as talent... not in Soho. https://www.facebook.com/Natural-Colour-Works-Organic-Hairdressing-1617855811833496/?pnref=lhc

I stumbled upon this salon on accident, after being turned away by Bleach London just down the…read morestreet*, and am surprised that there aren't more positive reviews! The salon was cozy and willing to schedule me as a walk-in for an appointment that day. The stylist was attentive - listening me describe in detail what I wanted and gently pushing me towards what was realistic**. She was friendly and talkative (very important qualities in someone who is going to spend hours hovering over your head, touching your hair). The products that the salon uses were sweet-smelling and didn't feel harsh on my hair. * Bleach London would've made me do a 48-hour skin test before touching my hair. NCW also has a skin test policy (to make sure people aren't allergic to their toner), but they were able to accommodate me by dying my hair without toning it. Cheers to those who accommodate! ** I have naturally jet-black hair at the roots and honey-blonde everywhere else. I wanted to go full platinum, which just wasn't happening in the four hours of time I had.
