Chris's is a barber's shop next door to Harringay Green Lanes station at the south end of Grand…read moreParade. Painted pale blue, it is a traditional barbers shop, run, as you might expect, by a Greek Cypriot named Chris and his team. There is a sofa to wait on, some newspapers and a radio (with a very visible Performing Rights Society Licence framed on the wall.) It looks and smells like a barbers shop is meant to. Traditional is the keyword here - and, for those of us who want hair that is short and neat, Chris's is definitely a good place to go. Their side partings are so straight and clear they could be used to sight an arrow; they rub hair tonic in if you have a wash and cut; whatever you've had done, they will finish off the back and sideburns with an expertly-handled cut-throat razor. I think the fact that the shop is a little dated is the root of its charm for me. During the course of a haircut at Chris's I tend to feel increasingly like I am living in a quieter time, maybe the 1950s. The staff are very polite. I feel like a Customer. In an age where so many hairdressers/barbers have gone down the road of rowdy music and gaudy decor, Chris's is an oasis of calm in the chaos of Green Lanes. And good value too.

I have to say I was originally dubious....wondering...really...is something so outwardly crying its trendiness that good? Pleased to say, yes, they are that good. Andy is absolutely wonderful. Soft speaking, engaging without being too chatty....he approached the haircut like a small project and talked through what I wanted, what he suggested, and took me through every step of the process with the gentlest of touches. I was utterly pleased with the results. The fringe, the fringe: perfectly clipped in a gorgeous little box shape. Thrilled. The salon itself is quite industrial/bare chic, which I think works well here. Concrete, high ceilings, big windows with lots of light. Good quality speakers putting out some satisfying mid-tempo music....deffo a big plus in my book. Makes you feel as if you are there to be transformed into something fresh and new, not the same ol' thang again and again. And even if it is the same old haircut, somehow they manage to make it seem fresh. You can book online but I called over the phone, which worked just fine. I've been searching for a new hairdressers for a while, and will be returning.

I came to Bluetit East Village in stratford after speaking to the receptionist on the phone about…read morean enquiry to have my hair coloured. I came in and was greeted by stylist Aimee and went through what I was looking to have done. She checked out my hair and we went through some pictures I had. She explained to me that due to my hair 'type' there were risks in trying to achieve the Grey/Silver colour that I was aiming for (which I did mention over the phone). She went through some alternative options and asked what I thought about a purple tint but that was not what I wanted. After being persistent with the colour I wanted to achieve she suggested we take a hair sample to see how my hair would take. She walked off to what I assumed to get the bleach and do a test. She returned and said that she had a chat with Andy stylist and thought it be best to get him opinion as he was considered the 'colour guru' with plenty of experience. This gave me a bit more hope that it was achievable. Andy came along and asked me what I was trying to achieve as I explained he almost cut me short and rolled his eyes and told me that as Aimee explained it is difficult to achieve this colour due to my 'ethnic background' and then told me that he didn't want to use that as the reason but basically he did! He then told me that 'if' I was willing firstly 'commit' to the 'looong' process then they will 'give it a go' pretty much all said half heartedly and trying to shove me out the door. He told me that the initial bleach would take 'hours' and that I would have to leave the salon with blonde hair and come back after 12 weeks to achieve the grey/silver. To be honest this did not make sense to me but he made me feel so dumb I didn't ask him why it would take so long and that after 12 weeks I would have grown roots????? After he told me that my ethnic background may prevent me from getting the grey/silver he then told me that all the pictures I showed him were 'fake' and 'probably wigs'. I then asked if he could achieve the bronze/blonde as seen on Sierra the singer he did not hesitate to tell me that it was a weave. He advised me to not watch youtube videos as they had been edited and are probably fake if there was an Asian person with grey/silver hair?? And that I need to search for hair colour 'suitable' for Asian hair. To top it all off Aimee then cut a chunk of my hair off to test the bleach to see if my hair would 'take'- which I was given no warning about and 2 1/2 weeks later I have still not heard anything. Not sure what to call this guys but if you are of 'colour' and want anything but black hair then don't bother. Guess I can thank Bluetit for not charging me for the consultation and cutting a chunk of my hair off for testing with no results. I would like Bluetit to know that they did an outstanding job on stamping on my self esteem and confidence. I came to enquire on hair colour and left insulted. Have sent a complaint to head office and been promised to be in contacted but nothing nothing as I have still not heard anything. No words to express how disappointed I am... worse overall customer experience ever.... Here at Blue Tit's London Hairdressers we believe a haircut should be an experience, not just a transaction.

I landed in London today and desperately needed an intervention on my plane hair…read more After reading reviews of other Blow lads, I specifically asked if they could do weaves before I made my appointment. Someone named Natasha replied yes, but I would need 40 minutes. No problem. Appointment made. I arrived at 6 minutes past the hour because they neglected to tell me they were inside Debenham's, and it took a couple minutes to find them once finally inside. After the person who answered spent another four minutes helping another customer, she finally returned and told me I had been 10 minutes late and they would have to curl my hair dry, as they no longer had time to shampoo and blow dry it first, else her and her colleague would both be late for their next appointments. I've never heard of shampoo and blow dry taking 10 minutes, and the reasoning for insisting they could only provide a different service from the one I had requested was dubious at best. But I was already there, so I said okay, which is probably what they were counting on. Ended up paying 30 pounds just to get my hair badly curled, with no effort made to blend the weave in with my natural hair. Total waste of money - the shampoo and blow dry steps are the value add. I can curl my hair myself, and much better at that. And by the time I was leaving, there was one more customer but two hair dressers, one of whom was now idle. They could totally have honored my initial appointment. Never coming back here again.
