I often dread the hairdressers, because I seemed to never be able to explain what I wanted, but here, they did it wonderfully, in a short time, and at an affordable price. I just love it!

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.

After walking past the salon one day I thought it looked quirky and cool so booked an appointment. I'm so glad I did!

My haircut was greatI am so happy with it and everyone says it looks amazing! I will definitely be coming back again and will recommend Heads and Tails to my friends. It's nice to finally have a great salon in the area that also doesn't break the bank!

The first time we were there, I sat and waited for him. Everyone working there was so nice. A regular customer came in for his shave with his wife. They were both quite elderly and she had Parkinson's. The barbers both knew them well and were so sweet to them during their visit --I was already tempted to return just because of their kindness and patience, but the haircut itself was such a winner, he has no reason to stop going there! As an added bonus, for Christmas they have a Santa leaning into a sink by the window, surrounded by meerkat toys. Gotta love a place with a sense of humour.

They have a plastic horse outside whose main they have done up with color extensions and braids .... 2 cute dogs and an atmosphere that will overjoy the inner goth in you. I think everyone who works there is from Spain and they all have amazing hair of course..... there is a slight fear they don't know what you are saying when you describe your ideal haircut yet you always walk away with something better than you first imagined. You can tell they take pride in what they do... and they make you feel really at home in their little world.

So people, particularly if you want the best colour of your life - come to Pepis.

I'm not a fan of this hair salon at all! I came here for a…read moreconsultation because I wanted to become blond. I'm a brunette, my eyes are brown and yes, most of the time I do not get sunburn if I put a lot of sunscreen... Naturally my skin is just slightly tanned... Or at least that's what I thought before entering this salon. The hairdresser/colorist looked at me like I was asking for the impossible... In her opinion it was unthinkable that I would want to go blond. "Look at you", she said, "It would be awful on you with your dark skin tone, your dark eyes blah blah..." Yes, so I learned on that day that I was blacker than a black girl...

It's an upscale clientele here but there is nothing snobby about the place. Just attentive and kind. I like natural looking colour and Aveda is known for that.

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.

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.

I've since moved away from the area but keep returning as no-one cuts my hair as well!

Flaxon Ptootch is not your ordinary hair salon…read more Squeezed between Nando's and the Rio's Naturist spa on Kentish Town Road, this place tries to mix art, music, booze and haircuts and gets it right pretty much every time. The salon is acerbic white, with big comfortable chairs and a great lighting scheme. Even better though is the fully stocked bar out back and kicking sound system that comes into its own in the evenings. Stylist and owner Michael takes control with the scissors, the decks and also the cocktail shaker as he runs a joint that is a hip salon during the day, bar and music venue at night, and art gallery when he feels like it. Admittedly, I haven't yet had a haircut from him yet, but if his hairdressing is as good as the parties he throws, then i'll definitely go. I actually went to one of Flaxon's private views, which is about as far off a stuffy Mayfair do, and more of a good excuse to have a great party. Showcasing a selection of upcoming London artists, the selection of work exhibited was contemporary and innovative, and fitted into the decor perfectly. Flaxon will also give you a 2 for 1 haircut (a haircut is about £40 depending on what you have done) if you introduce a mate of yours to their establishment. So, the next place I go to get my hair cut will be here, with a friend - although I probably won't go next door for a massage afterwards.
