**NOTE: The correct name of this business is Krosbie Hairdressing". Upon making the (daring) jump from Michigan to London, one of my first concerns as a girl about town was, "Who will cut my hair?" A friend suggested I visit Krosbie Hairdressing which is local to me so I thought I'd give it a shot. I had recently cut five inches off of my hair after my wedding and had the urge to cut it a bit shorter. Krosbie Hairdressing gave me the experience I was looking for. I made an appointment and was told I'd be seeing Robert. Although I arrived a little early, he was ready to begin our appointment and sat me down to talk to me about what I'd like to do with my hair. He looked at it, examined what had been done recently, asked me questions about the color I had and when it was done. I explained all I wanted was for it to be shorter, obviously healthier, and for me to still be able to throw it up in a pony tail if I felt like I didn't want to fuss with it on any particular day. I was seated promptly for a wash and a really good conditioning (which my hair needed). The girl shampooing and conditioning my hair was friendly, appropriate and the water was the perfect temperature. After my hair was clean and conditioned, Robert began working his magic on my hair. He removed all the damaged, leveled my hair out (after showing that the last person who cut my hair was a bit careless and had some drastic differences in length - NOT to be confused with layers). He used products on my hair and explained what he was doing every step of the way which is important when you're new to a place and slightly nervous about a new salon and stylist working on your hair. He did a quick blowdry and straightened a few sections and once he was done, I had smooth, sleek, very stylish and healthy hair - exactly what I wanted without having the words to express it. A wash, cut and blowdry cost 46 pounds - a bit more than I was prepared to pay but I happily paid it. From now on, I'll skip the blowdry to save me a few pounds (unless, of course, it's an extra special day) and make sure to visit Robert regularly. It's not easy to gain my trust when it comes to my hair but it was a really easy and pleasant experience at Krosbie. Leave your coffee and tea at home, too - you'll be offered a beverage when you walk in. Great experience and I'm surprised no one has reviewed it thus far - try it! read more

I often go to Krosbie hairdressers myself, and always have Robert Kane Simon do my hair, he is a perfectionist in his field, so I decided to let my friend Rima Shinde and her son Ishayu try him out for themselves. On entering the salon we were greeted by the ebullient Mr Robert Kane Simon, who cordially introduced himself to my guests and then invited Rima to the chair where he does his materpieces on various clients. Firstly , he asked whether she preferred tea or coffee, he then examined her hair and decided how best to proceed to create another of his masterpieces. He offered advice and suggestions to Rima, who agreed wholeheartedly with Robert and then he proceeded to design her hair. It was a work of art when finished, as he worked tirelessly for an hour, talking with Rima and explaining every step of the way what he was proposing to do. Once finished she could not believe she was the same person, she looked fantastic. Then he started on the 8 year olds hair - Ishayu and explained to Rima what he proposed and made him look fantastic. He talked to him throughout and at the end the little boy's face lit up in delight. What a charming fellow this Mr Robert Kane Simon is , he is well known in the profession and if you are able to make an appointment with him, you will not be disappointed, he is one of the greatest hairdressers in the country . What a wonderful experience going to Krosbie hairdressers of Edgware Try it and try to obtain an appointment with the great Robert and tell me if I am not wrong. read more
