   The owner is horrible and NOT SAFE. He totally violates your bodily autonomy, completely disregards what you say you want and don't want, and does what he wants to do. As a woman, I feel horrible after my experience with him and want to ensure other women know this before booking with him. I gave him a second chance and he violated my boundaries again. On my first visit, he said he'd do the haircut I want and then did something completely different to the picture I showed. On my second visit (I only decided to return because they use slightly less toxic hair dye - FYI there's another salon in Richmond which uses a better hair dye brand called Naturalique), I came in for a root touch up only. This guy dyed my hair black! I had been extremely clear when choosing the colour the first time that I never want black, that I want a warm brown. I only booked a root touch up so I know he knew he was going darker, because he pulled it through all the way to the ends of my hair when he first applied it (if it was the right colour he would only do the roots and then do the ends half way through the application time). But he thinks he knows better than the client and goes against the specific instructions given. I've had experiences in hairdressers before when I don't love the haircut, that's normal and not an issue. But this is something else - to have someone say yes, and then purposely go against what you said and do something to your body (even if it's "just" your hair) is horrible. It's a violation. I did call him afterwards to ask him why he dyed my hair black and he said he didn't, he used a number 2 which is "darkest brown." We used a mix of numbers 3 and 4 on my first visit which I noted down and he tried to tell me I was wrong. He was rude and belligerent on the phone, unwilling to offer any help to fix my hair. Do yourself a favour and stay away.

   I recently had the absolute pleasure of visiting Art8 for a hairstyling service, and I could not be more satisfied with my results. The hospitality, professionalism and kindness we were met with really stood out to me, the staff, especially by Joe, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort the entire time, making us feel completely taken care of. The talent and skill of Joe can also be seen in his amazing work with my hair. I couldn't be more pleased, thank you so much Joe and team for our incredible experience, I highly recommend visiting them!!

   I took a risk going to a new salon when visiting friends recently in London. I chose Art8 because of their reviews and because they use organic products/no chemicals. I was not disappointed! I came away with exactly the cut and colour I wanted and the atmosphere in the salon is like feeling part of a family. Joe and Luli are both lovely and great at what they do. I live in France but I'll be going to Art8 from now on with regular trips to London. Thanks guys!

   Highly recommended. Great men's hairdresser with a really good sense of humour and he's always cheerful. I've been going to Luli for many years and have always left the salon pleased with my haircut.

   Luli is honestly the best hairdresser I have ever been to! The vibe is amazing and he is not only super nice but really knows what he’s doing! I had a great time and will definitely go again.

   I have been a client of Art 8 for 13 years and Ulie has cut my hair since the first time. He's the best in business for men and women when it comes to hairstyling. He's a gentleman, has a nice shop, perfectly located!

   Luli has been cutting and styling my hair for about 13 years now and I would not have anyone else, he's brilliant. Always happy with my perfect cut.

   Luli is an excellent hairdresser! He has been cutting mine and my husband's hair for the last 7 years and last weekend he gave my son his very first haircut which was amazing! Luli is a hairdresser that truly listens to what you want whilst also giving good advice about what will work best. It's this level of trust we have in him that means we still visit even though we've moved out of the area! It's worth it for the good haircuts, chat, coffee and Luli's sense of humour!

   Hair work was actually great, and stylist was friendly for several months and then one day decided he didn't want to work with me any more (for whatever reason - I'd obviously upset him in some way, but I have no idea how and he'd let it build until he couldn't handle it anymore). Instead of telling me direct and enabling me to book into somewhere else instead, he accepted my booking and engineered a very awkward conversation with loads of passive aggression, and finally told me he "can't do this anymore". Great hair work, but I can't recommend due to the unstable nature of the stylist.

   Luili cuts my hair really well. I’m often asked where I’ve had my hair cur as the layers are great and the shape lasts well. It’s also great that Luili loves what he does and that characteristic contributes to both a good experience and his excellence.
