Totally ruined my hair, I have been traumatized by what was done to my hair. Left the relaxer on to long, burning my scalp and causing breakages, and patches of baldness. The woman who ruined my hair never apologized and had a rude, offhand and indifferent attitude towards me. I have had my once healthy hair cut really short, my hair is a extremely dry, frizzy mess. To say I am extremely upset is an understatement. Even though I was given my money back and offered conditioning treatments, I feel that nothing can bring my lovely hair back. And to make it worse the hairdresser who ruined my haiwalked about singing and talking to her friend while I sat there devastated. Any emails and phone calls to the salon have been completely ignored read more

I had an absolutely perfect haircut and diffuse dry with Maya a few weeks ago... and this from someone who tends to leave hair salons skeptical at best or in quiet tears at worst. No, no, Yelpers, I was all smiles. I'm sure this salon is open to everyone, but curly hair is where they really shine. Finding a salon that knows their way around curly hair is FANTASTIC because curly hair has it's own particular biological needs. Not only that, but it also varies in character from day to day, depending on the weather, the humidity, whether you washed it recently, its mood... I was so impressed with how much Maya wanted to understand my kind of curl; not just today, but also in general. She had me pull out my phone and troll through facebook to find good hair day and bad hair day pics. "Oh, I can get your hair curlier than that." she tells me when I show her a good hair day pic. And she totally did. This hair cut made me feel like WTF have I been doing with my hair all this time? It was shaped and layered and styled, and felt light and healthy. I also got some solid tips to take home: 1. Shampoo as little as possible - I knowwww but it feels so good when it's clean 2. Moroccan oil to hydrate - on it 3. A light, non-sticky mousse for hold - a welcome addition to the rotation 4. Diffuse dry upside down, or from below while reclined / laying down on the corner of your bed - oh, hello! Maya and I originally disagreed on the air dry vs diffuse dry debate. I'll fully admit that I'm low maintenance (lazy) and usually opt for an air dry, but I ::loved:: the way my curls came out after drying them ~60-70% of the way with a diffuser. I left feeling amazing and all for a reasonable price. I think I paid ~56 quid for top notch service. read more

3thirty - Thanks, Maya! - Hair Salons Near Me - London, XGL

I visited on two occasions. Sadly, I regret going the second time and giving it the benefit of the doubt. Stylist was only keen to cut hair for the sake of styling, rather than the need of a trim. Made me very reluctant to return when the stylist recommends many additional products as I didn't get this sell from previous salons. All I wanted was a trim and a treatment. It just came across as thirsty and made me feel uncomfortable. read more

I have spent MONTHS looking for salons in London that specialise in curly hair. This is for three reasons: 1. Curly hair needs a specialist 2. I have no idea of what i'm doing 3. I wanted to get highlights and read that it could damage curls if not carried out correctly! FINALLY, I stumbled across 3thirty hair, I read great reviews and decided to book a free consultation. I went to the salon and was greeted by a friendly receptionist who asked if I wanted a tea/coffee water - great start. Then I met with Tiff who is the owner of the salon. We sat down and she then went into great detail about my hair; how to manage it, maintaining /improving its condition, protective styling, what products I should be using and how often... she has a great deal of knowledge on curly hair! She told me to have a think about what we discussed and if I was interested to book an appointment for her to give my hair a treatment and show me how to use the products she recommends. However because she was so knowledgable and lovely I was confident enough to book an appointment for half head of highlights and a trim! So, I turn up a little nervous about entrusting my curls to this lovely stranger! I'm greeted once again by the friendly receptionist who promptly takes my coat and offers me a hot beverage and biscuits - great at 10am! Tiff greets me warmly and asks me if I know what colours or style I want. I stare blankly at her, she smiles and proceeds to get the colour charts. She talks about the different colours she recommends I use and how she will mix and blend them. She asks if that sounds good and I say yes. Back to reason number 2 of going there... I have no idea of what i'm doing! She then gets to work highlighting my hair here and there, and had two other stylists mixing the dye and preparing the foil. I have a quick nap while I wait for the dye to take effect, when I wake up there is a fresh tea waiting for me... it's the little things! On to washing /conditioning my hair, great job and a great head massage that almost sent me back to sleep! Tiff then proceeds to trim my hair whilst wet. She shows me in a mirror how she is going to shape my hair whilst retaining length. Back to the sink for another rinse and then Tiff talks me through applying curly hair products for my hair type. She puts the products in my hair and then diffuses it. 2 hours 15 minutes after I walked in Tiff shows me the finished look and I could not stop grinning at my reflection!! The curls, shape and colour were amazing and I couldn't have been happier. I've found my new hair stylist! read more

Damian is amazing. He did wonders with my curls. I've been all around the world for curly haircuts. Damian is the best hairstylist I've ever been to. read more

The hair dressers are amazing. Having ethnic hair, having people knowledgeable about different hair types is essential and the staff here are fully aware and equipped with the tools to do it. The receptionist has been rude to me on various occasions but I do keep coming back because I like the hair dressers so much ! Other than that, very clean, use nice products, and hair dressers are friendly. read more

Just moved to London from L.A. Didn't know where to go to get this 3a/b frizzy/curly hair done. Read the reviews online and 3Thirty kept coming up, and they were close to where I live, so I decided to take the plunge and give it a try. Tiff did my hair, and I am very happy with the results. My motto for curly hair is, "do no harm" because I have had some really bad salon experiences... until I met my girl Melissa in Pasadena.. but I don't have access to her anymore. I knew once Tiff started cutting my hair that she knew what she was doing. Curly hair cutting is all about the shape and releasing the curls. Once it gets too long, the curls start getting weighed down, so a skilled haircutter knows how to keep the length but release some of the hair's weight. i also had a touchup on my color. I'm very happy with the results. I think I found my salon in London. read more

Every time I'm in London, this is my go-to beauty spot. After doing loads of research about Afro salons, this seemed like a great first stop based on the reviews and external articles. I have not been let down! On my most recent trip, I saw Gloria for a blow-out and flat iron. She was super knowledgable about natural hair, didn't use as much heat as other stylists usually do on my hair and I left feeling and looking great. I've also had my hair done by another stylist here and she was also great. A+, always recommend! read more

I've been going to 3thifty for over a year now. Nikki, my hairdresser, is a lovely London lass. But don't be misled by this down-to-earth girl, she's straight with you when it comes to styling your hair. If something is not going to work she'll let you know. She won't go along with any crazy style ideas you have if it's really not right for you. She's a brave girl too. When I first turned up at the salon I had long, long hair and I wanted a change. So, Nikki cut it short. That's a pretty courageous thing to do for a hairdresser, they're often scared to cut long hair short. The salon is nice too, decorated in that trend for baroque decadence. The other staff are pleasant and friendly. But here's the clincher - for a London Salon, it's really affordable. And they have good offers too! 10% off if you book in advance and 20% off if you book a Wednesday. Go check out their website for more info. read more

Tiff gave me the best haircut I have ever had in my life. I was on vacation in London and searched for a salon that knows what to do with curly hair. This one really, really does. And the cut was reasonably priced too - if you don't factor in the plane ticket to London anyway! Tiff, if you're reading this, thank you! read more

I am honestly very disappointed by this salon. I went for the second time today thinking that I would give them another chance and I am now quite sure I won't go there ever again. First it's impossible to get an appointment with a stylist (the cheapest on their price range) nor on the week-end. So I had to take some time off work to pay £72 for the most ridiculous haircut ever. I got an appointment in the middle of the afternoon with an 'artistic director', and when I saw the amount of hair on the floor afterwards I was stunned, there was barely anything. And if the hair cut service wasn't great (I'm suspecting they're making sure that you will need to come back less than 2 months later to get another haircut), the experience didn't make up for it. The least they could do is to give you a proper head massage while washing your hair instead of pulling and pushing your hair as if you were a dog. They weren't even in a rush since there wasn't anyone in the salon while I was there and no one arrived until I left. Honestly I am so disappointed that it makes me question the whole point of this profession sometimes... It feels like it is all about the look you'll get for 45 minutes after you leave their salon rather than for the couple of weeks to follow. The hairdresser was dismissive and almost rude when I asked questions/advice to take care of my hair. They are supposed to be professionals, we go to see them for a service and advice not to be treated like dogs! I know these are usual London prices but for the service and experience delivered I really find it outrageous :( read more

My stylist, Mya, was amazing, really friendly and patient. I went there to get another stylist's coloring mistake fixed. Mya did a great job of helping me choose a color and it looks fantastic. As far as the salon, it is very clean and the staff is very attentive. Even though they were busy, I never had to wait for service. read more

I went to this place today and really enjoyed it. Lovely sparkling water to start, super lovely staff who didn't chat too much (a pet hate of mine!) and cut my hair exactly as I needed. Would totally recommend them. read more

Have a densely packed head of 3c4a natural hair, which I have painstakingly nursed back to natural health (from having chemical relaxers) for 5 yrs. over the last 3 yrs I have been to 3thirty a total of 6 times. Initially my impressions were fairly favourable, because the salon has such a high reputation for dealing with curly hair. However. Following my most recent 3 experiences I now think that it's totally over rated. I do not believe that the ethos of the salon is to help and support you in your 'natural hair journey'. I was offered a texturiser by my stylist when I once mentioned that I find my hair quite hard to manage at times. This same stylist on the next occasion applied heat to my hair in a way that left me with heat damage. This after I'd mentioned to them that my hair felt weak. ( in hindsight I realised that I had had my hair (heat) straightened only three months previously by the same person - I think therefore she should have realised that it might not be a good idea to apply heat in the same way as before.) My last visit was for a trim, very recently. My hair was shampooed ( patchy scalp cleaning) conditioned ( nice scalp massage) and rinsed out and then detangled poorly with a paddle brush ( I questioned this ) with no product in it.Then trimmed - badly since most of the roots were still a tangled mess. No leave-in moisturiser was used (I questioned this, too.) Result: trim useless, I now have straggly ends I'm finding hard to style. My hair was so dry and so tangled it took me absolute ages to detangle and restyle. Overall- I am very disappointed. I have learned a lot about my hair in the last 5 years, and while I am willing to respect professional knowledge I am no longer willing to accept that any stylist and certainly not anyone at this salon knows what my hair needs better than me. read more

I've been to 3thirty a few times for full/half head of colour. The girl who does my hair is lovely, really friendly and does a really nice job and a great blowdry. I find the prices very good for London and the salon has a friendly, relaxed atmostphere. Would recommend. read more

I took my daughter here after searching high and low for the past 6 years for a hairdresser who can cut her curly mixed race hair and I couldn't be more pleased!

She treated my daughter like a little princess, the cut looks beautiful and I'm delghted I've finally found this salon. read more
