This review is for the new Strand branch…read more Clean and funky looking, this salon has an especially nice hair washing area with coloured mood lighting. I was offered the usual drink and magazines, but agree with Michelle T that the junior staff were pretty robotic. I never pay much to have my hair cut, and I consider £50 far too much for a wash and trim, but if you quote 'online 50% off', it's a good deal. I was going to give an 'a-ok' review, but reading Michelle's reminded me that I too got a different haircut to the one I asked for, and that although it worked out well for me, that is not actually a fine way to run a hairdressing business. Because I left with half price snazzy hair I just smiled to myself at the stylist's arrogance, but thinking about it, how dare he make it up as he went along, without consulting me! Also, the receptionist was pretty pushy about trying to make me sign up to a loyalty card, and looked at me as if my refusal (which I had to give 3 times) was weird. I was not impressed that they used my mobile number, given to secure the booking, to subsequently bombard me with marketing texts. So, as long as you are up for a surprise, go here for the 50% off deal. Otherwise, it's just an expensive central London chain, which I suspect is only of any real interest/use to people who work nearby.

I was well looked after by the hair washer, who gave me a lovely massage, and the hairstylist was friendly but not too animated (which is a pet hate of mine, I don't need to talk ALL the time). The decor is French and feminine with antique furniture and there was alternative music playing which was a nice change to other salons I've been in. The overall result was good, but not the greatest haircut I've ever had. However, the price is great, so it's a little bit of a trade off.

Sadly I lost the card with the stylists name who I had the best experience with so have been just hoping to get lucky every time since then. I am not sure I would come here for any highlights given my friend's issues in the past, however when we have had issues the salon has resolved them without fuss and with apologies. The shop front is a beautiful and in the summer you can have coffee in the courtyard outside if you arrive early enough.

I visited on a weekday afternoon, so the salon wasn't busy. The colourist greeted me cheerfully…read moreand asked the assistant to get me started. He robed me up and offered me a beverage. I accepted a coffee and found the cafe americano I received of enjoyable quality. The colourist then came for a consult, and I discussed my hair history with her (years of dying it black myself with only a recent salon-quality lightener to lift the colour to brown), and we decided on a semi-permanent colour. The service itself took about as much time as I would have expected, and the assistant gave me a relaxing shampoo. Both the colourist and assistant were chatty, although the overall vibe of the salon wasn't particularly welcoming so I felt a bit awkward throughout the experience. Perhaps it was because it wasn't bustling with business. Overall, the salon experience was pretty average and the price was par for central London; I had no immediate complaints after leaving, but I also had nothing particularly good to say about the salon. Nothing stood out as better than the rest. Unfortunately, the colour washed out after just one shampoo at home with products specially formulated for coloured hair. I didn't bother going back.

They have a good range of skilled hairdressers, but most of all they are friendly, make you feel very welcome and spend lots of time offering advice and guidance.

They never force any products on you, but - if requested - offer advice. I love them and every visit is a real treat. They also do the hair of more prominent people and are very discreet.

Stuart Phillips himself is, according to their website and literature, a celebrity hairstylist at the centre of the hairdressing world, styling nominees for the BAFTAs as well as a star-studded client list, including (among many) the likes of Mr Big Chris Noth, Ronnie Wood and even The Hoff! Just to be clear, none of whom are my hair style icons! And when he's not teasing celebrity locks into camera readiness, we're told you're most likely to find him demonstrating his skills on morning TV or in the midst of an A-list party. Wow, fancy eh! For Stuart to get his hands on your barnet it'll set you back £200 (ladies) or £115 (for gents), for which he will apparently provide a complete lifestyle hair consultation to determine your perfect haircut. Given the price tag, it could be an expensive routine to get into, so you may want to save an appointment with Stuart for if you do actually get an invite to the BAFTAs. For my first visit I just had some highlights put in by one of their colour technicians, plus a blow-dry and fringe trim. Rest assured the prices for a regular stylist/ colourist are much less than a session with Stuart, and broadly comparable with most London salons pitching themselves at the same kind of level. My colourist seemed really pleasant and professional as did the other staff I came across and I'm completely happy with what she's done. She listened, assessed my hair, and made some suggestions, which is what you want. It also seemed to me that she worked very neatly and attentively. I'd feel comfortable trusting her enough to take a few more colour risks - well, within reason, I still have to go to work! The fringe trim was probably the most diligent fringe trim I've had anywhere, from one of the main stylists who stepped out from his current client for a short while to attend to my bangs so I could actually see where I was going again. The attention to detail for a mere fringe trim impressed me sufficiently to return for a full cut here and to see how they did with the rest of my hair, and I was really happy with the result. I think it's one of the best cuts I've had, and it's held its shape well as its grown out. One minor observation I have about the experience, which doesn't reflect negatively on the service or skills of the staff at all, is that I think the salon decor maybe looks a tiny bit tired. Obviously it's a subjective matter of personal taste, but I wasn't particularly keen on the heavy wavy frosted glass mirror surrounds. And when you're at the hairdressers you spend a lot of time looking at the mirrors. It does however make a good impression on entrance, and the Swarovski crystal light fittings and velvet covered waiting chairs convey a certain level of luxury, but for a premium salon, I don't feel the rest of the interior is quite up to the standard of plush or modern captured so well by The Chapel in Islington, or Ena a bit further up the road, which is what I'm comparing it to. So I would hope they perhaps consider a bit of an update in the not too distant future. It really wouldn't take much.

By chance I was given Mitz for my first hair cut and I'm so glad! He completely restyled my hair twice, once from a bob to a crop, and always does an excellent job. He takes a lot of time and care over his cuts, does an excellent colour and is a lovely person to spend a couple of hours with too. All in all, a fantastic experience.
