I work really close to this little hair salon and after being intrigued by the vintage decor I was…read moreseeing through the window every day. When I phoned for an appointment, I was totally surprised to hear that a haircut would cost me between £29-£35, depending on what it was! This is possibly the cheapest hair cut I've had in London. I can't remember the owner's name but she was completely lovely, chatty and bright. The place was really quiet and it made a change from pretentious, clinical surroundings. The truth is, this was not the best hair cut in the world but she gave me exactly what I wanted - just a trim, nothing to wild. I've often said the same to other hairdressers but come out looking like Rod Stewart! So I was gad she listened to what I said at least. This isn't wild and whacky, you get what you pay for but I left in a great mood and totally happy.

This is my local hairdresser so I thought I'd give it a go and loved it!…read moreShe doesn't charge too much and seems to really know her stuff. I'm indecisive and really appreciated her giving me an opinion based on what is clearly many years of knowledge rather than simply what is in fashion. Both times I've walked out my hair has felt great and the style has had reasonable staying power. I'll be making it my regular I think. I've since moved away from the area but keep returning as no-one cuts my hair as well!

I love this place. Not "too cool for you" or overwhelming; just a nice, clean salon with lovely…read morepeople who listen to what you want. I have wavy/curly hair and not much interest (or skill) in styling it everyday. Jane Edwards has been happy to work with me; rather than loading my hair down with products or insisting that I need to straighten it, she cuts it to emphasize the curls so it's easy to take care of. Everyone I've encountered there is friendly, they're efficient without making you feel rushed, and they take care in their work. I always leave with a smile on my face and a skip in my step to show off my nicely cut, bouncy hair.

I really don't like having my hair cut. It is a task that I put off for months, so by the time I…read moregot to The Engine Room my hair was in quite a bad state. It needed a lot of work. Everyone was very friendly and the guy doing my hair was lovely. It was a very local place, everyone knew each other, lots of regulars. The hair cut is great and have already had lots of compliments even though it was cut only yesterday. It was a good price. Definitely would go if we lived in the area.

On a whim I decided to go to a completely different hairdressers to see if they might be able to give me the hair style I was aiming for. Thank god I went here!!! I now no longer regret cutting my hair off! Everyone was really friendly and Agi who was my stylist was a top bloke, not only that but he has given me the style exactly as I saw it in my head.......I bloody love it!! Even after getting home and doing the usual inspection I still bloody love it. I am one very happy client so THANK YOU! Cracking cup of tea too :)

Exactly what I wanted, and she was really friendly and laid-back. They use Kevin Murphy products, which are full of natural ingredients, paraben- and SLS-free and smell amazing. The feel of the salon fits perfectly with the unique vibe that is Archway. I am going back.
