I visited this hairdressers about six months ago. The hairdressers is located in a little parade…read moreopposite the post office. I had a cut and blow dry and was very happy with my hair cut. The stylist gave me good hair advice and suggested different styles and variations I could do with my hair. My hair wash was very thorough and my hair definitely felt a lot cleaner and in better condition when I left. All the staff were very friendly. I didn't have to wait for my stylist to be ready which I have done in the past at previous hairdressers. Definitely recommend.

After the debacle that was my experience of getting my hair callously lopped off at the Toni & Guy…read moreacademy, my fairy-godmother in the form of Rick from the Rose and Crown appeared to make sure I would get to the ball - and not in the guise of an ugly sister - as he very kindly offered to fix my hair for free. I arrived in my pumpkin carriage (better known as the Northern Line) and strolled down a very busy Long Acre which was jam packed with Christmas shoppers and tourists and found refuge from the madness in Rose Street. A quaint, quiet wee street with a slight Dickensian air to it. The small, independently run salon was a breath of fresh air from the faceless anonymity of the big chain salons I've patronised in the past. It was obvious from the outset that Rick knows about hair and he took a good look at mine and had good chat with me before whipping out the scissors. The result is that I'm now delighted that my hair no longer makes me look like Tina Turner circa 1990 and is very pretty, and I'm ever so pleased. Moreover I feel confident that should I ever have any further hair disasters or even small queries; I know exactly where to go. I will certainly be recommending the Rose & Crown to whomever shall listen and I will definitely be returning whether for a new do, colour, manicure or massage (yes, they do all that in one cosy wee place! Not in the same room, there are different rooms, obviously.) Staunchly recommended for those who find it difficult to trust hairdressers and for any hair catastrophes the personal touch here is hugely reassuring.

My first encounter with Rick's haircutting services was way back when. The salon used to be on…read moreShaftesbury Avenue and called Archive. As an idiot student, I was looking to get my hair dyed a wacky colour. Popped in to the salon to ask advice and Rick took one look at me and said I'd need a better hair cut if I was going to dye it. Got to admire the honesty! From that point on and for the next 10+ years, Rick handled cutting my hair better than anyone else. I have quite curly and awkward hair (as a guy) and Rick managed to cut it in ways that didn't make me look like a complete idiot. This was something that previous hairdressers had somehow failed to accomplish. Even over the course of 10 years, I never felt that Rick got lazy or complacent when cutting my hair. He'd always be willing to discuss different styles as my hair changed over the years. His prices are reasonable, considering the central london location, and Rick himself is a top bloke. If you're looking for a recommendation for a good quality, unpretentious haircut in Central London, then I have no hesitation in recommending Rick and the Rose & Crown salon.

Hairdresser didn't really have the skills to make my hair look glamorous…read more I asked her if she can add volume to my hair, and she really could not do so, blamed my hair for being thin. But I had good results using rollers at home. She cut my hair too short, she advised it look better this way, it did not. She advised i dont get layers, but in the end added some layering on my request. Layering adds a lot more style to hair. I have been to far better hairdressers They didn't seem to have sophisticated hair styling tools at their shop, only heat tongs, she didn't not even use the hairdryer much to add volume or curls to my hair. Hairdresser was fairly boring, had no flair for what looked good. And could not replicate the style in the picture I showed her to begin with. No sophisticated styling products to make hair look silky and smooth, frizz free, as you find in higher end salons. Price was ok at £64 for cut and blow dry

I generally like my hair pretty funky. And I'm pretty cheap. Unfortunately I like my hair a bit…read morefunkier than what I can get from a recent hairdressing graduate who works at the kinds of salons I can afford. Enter: my visit to J Moriyama, a local branch of Japanese hair salons. At £35 a cut (with none of this increased-price for 'redesign' chicanery), the price was a happy medium between Supercuts butchery and Vidal Sassoon highway robbery. I came in with a picture of something slightly anime-looking, explained the stylist could do whatever he wanted, and left with a great new funky 'do. This place is seriously Japanese, and I enjoyed every minute of it. When I arrived, I found that my name was written in the appointment book as 'Rarissa' (bless). My stylist, Soichi, was really congenial and upbeat throughout the entire cut, and even though I gave him free reign on my mop he verified everything he did to it with me first. After the third or fourth time I told him he could do whatever he wanted, he divulged that the Japanese are very particular about their hair and that requests to take 2mm off the fringe aren't foreign to him. So I suppose if you're the polar opposite of me and want something really particular and technical that j.moriyama would also be right up your alley. So, yeah, my hair is truly fab and it was only £35. No drink or fancy treatment, but the hair wash was brisk and invigorating, the facility was posh and had a current array of magazines and I wasn't charged anything extra by surprise. (Did you know that Vidal Sassoon salons charge you for a blow dry on top of your cut? Cheeky! Who's going to leave with a wet head?)

The atmosphere is spot on, with really friendly staff and lots of places to sit and relax while you wait for a nail technician to become available. There is a food and drink area which has a small menu offering cakes, quiches, juice, alcohol, tea and coffee. Unfortunately, you can't book in advance so, unless you arrive at a very quiet time, getting a coffee and flicking through magazines seems to be pretty much part of the experience. The usual prices for nails and hair are quite reasonable, considering that this beauty parlour is run by the same company behind Cowshed. They don't offer a full manicure, so at £10 for a shape and paint (with a free bottle of nail colour to take home) I'd say it's fairly good value if you just want a quick fix. Having nail art will vastly increase the price - especially if you're like me and prefer to have the whole set done - it's £1.50 per nail! My experience was somewhat marred by the sullen attitude of the woman doing my nails. However, I think I was just unlucky, as the other nail technicians seemed really chatty and nice. Don't get me wrong - I'm not expecting for someone to actually feign interest in my day, but a little bit of interaction and friendliness doesn't go amiss! My nail art also looked a bit amateurish, so my advice would be not to bother having nail art - it bumps up the price of your manicure and the options are fairly limited. For a special occasion, or before a big night out, this is a fun place to come with a friend. You could eat lunch or have a coffee depending on the waiting time, and after your treatments you could have a go in the 'selfie studio', which is free to use. Despite its name, I think you'd have to be a bit pathetic and vain to go in there alone!

I seem to have had a totally different experience to the previous two reviewers!…read more Initially I decided to get my hair done there, as I'd just come out of hospital and couldn't figure out how to have a shower without getting my stitches wet. They washed and blow dried my hair brilliantly twice and were charming, helpful, and the whole experience was lovely. After having such a great time with the hair side, I thought I'd get my nails done. I've had two manicures so far, which are just simple polish jobs, but it's been lovely, my technician has given me a little hand massage with each manicure and I've left with perfect nails, and super soft hands (I need to get some of their hand cream...) Did I mention that they let you take the polish home with you?? Yup! You pick your colour and get to take a lovely fresh bottle of gorgeous polish home with you. All for £15! I mean, seriously, how can you not be excited by that?? PS: They definitely do appointments now (a previous reviewer said they didn't)

Situated on the prettiest road in the Borough, fronting the Common, next to shops and cafes crowded with young mothers and their children, Jo Partridge is a peaceful haven where the music isn't too loud and the service is laid-back but professional. I have used them now for a couple of years having graduated from a famous West End barber, and am more than satisfied. My daughter likes them too, so they cater for all styles:-)

Since me moving to London I have tried several different hairdressers and this one is by far the…read morebest in my opinion. I was fed up of paying a small fortune for a mulleted clone to give me an average haircut whilst staring blankly into space. I think they think because they give you a glass of cava and your allowed to sit in one of their overly- aggressive massage chairs they can double the prices. Anyway!In sharp contrast Jo Partridge is an unpretentious breath of fresh air. The staff are really friendly and will bend over backwards to accomodate you. They have a good selection of drinks, current magazines and a good selection of background music. As well as that they also cut and colour hair to an exceptional standard and actually listen to what you want. I go to Nikki but several of my friends now see other people and are all very happy regular customers!

I have been hunting down a stylist for myself since I moved to London and I have been doing some…read moreresearch since then... There are many other hair salon in the area just like Hayato hair salon, now, why did I decided on the Jubilee?? the hair salon I first went into in fact was Hayato but the guy was cocky and with attitude so I left their premise... Since they seems to want to only do ppl with "Virgin hair" un-dyed. Anyways after that moment my second choice became my first choice and I'm glad! I was hesitating if I wanted my hair color done in this hair salon, so I had a consultation with one of the staff then decided to book an appointment for the Saturday, which I was given the approx amount what I would expect to be paying and made a deposit. My hair stylist's name is Yukiko, very professional and polite, I did twice bleaching, color and hair cut, I went for balayage ombré with so baby light in the tone of grey blue lilac ish kind of theme, I also had hair mask done as well. Overall i like my experience although the price was a bit high, considering it is however in Covent Garden, everything will b higher price point. On my first visit I didn't get the desired color, therefore, YUkiko offered me to come back the following week to fix my color, and I would require to pay if I need bleaching, otherwise I won't. I like how my haircut went, I just trimmed about 2-3 inches n cleaned up the end since bleaching pretty much kill my hair anyways lol. My other half had a hair cut all went well, he had a junior stylist cut his hair n he payed 35£ n he like it so that's all it matters. Product they use for hair colouring is Wella, I wish they uses Olaplex but oh well. Overall experience it was great! Definitely recommend and would go back to YuKiko.

Everyone is very friendly and attentive. I had my hair cut by a lady called Erika and she made a fantastic job of my hair and has very gentle hands when washing and blowdrying. She really listened to what I wanted and made suggestions that looked great. I am so pleased with my hair cut. The other thing that I liked is that although there was a steady stream of customers, it did not feel loud, brash or crowded like many salons do and the ladies are interested in making sure you get a cut that you are happy with. I will definitely go back and highly recommend them.
