   Absolutely love this salon. The staff could not be more friendly, welcoming or attentive and the results are always amazing. I get beauty treatments at the clinic next door and there is a lovely almost family-like vibe when you visit. You feel really at home and the stylists (especially the salon owner Virginia who I always have cut and treat my hair) are perfectionists and so professional. Highly recommended. UPDATE!! Still visiting Virginia many years on in her new salon (which is lovely!) and need to add extra love for her on here (with photos of the magic she can work). Despite moving out of the area further into Kent, and being a non-driver, I’ve still been travelling in to visit V for cuts/colours, and, in general, sticking to a fairly conservative and natural style. However, as someone with hair “lazyitis”, I got in into my head this year that a perm would be a quick and easy “wash and go solution”’ to the usual cons of styling long and frizzy hair, and booked an appointment at a London salon “specialising in perms curly hair”. I’d had an upmarket West End perm back in the 1980s as a tennybopper and loved the look and was expecting a similar head of bouncy, spiral curls. Instead I was left with completely damaged, distressed, dry and colour stripped hair, which - not only wasn’t curly for the most part (it didn’t fully “take”) - but even worse was dry chopped prior to the treatment with no wet cutting afterwards, leaving me with completely uneven ends, half wavy/half straight brassy, dry frizz. This London salon were very slow to respond to my concerns post-perm and even advised me via text to “snip the long bits off myself” (!!) before asking me to return for a “repair job” when I persisted that I was hugely disappointed. However I was very wary and I knew they’d make my hair even worse if I did return (stating they’d cut straight across - probably dry cut again). Thankfully V rescued me, and when I arrived asked if I “wanted my old hair back”. I didn’t know such miracles were possible but I went into V’s salon looking like a famous TV scarecrow and left with a me that felt like my human self! V put enormous effort into colouring my hair to a beautiful chocolate brown (my natural shade) cutting off the damaged and uneven ends and showing that, even though my hair is now irreversibly permed, it has the versatility to be styled in other ways, including sleek, straight and bouncy. I cannot express my gratitude enough for Virginia’s effort and attention to helping me in dire straits. She heard my concerns before our appointment and ensured ample time was booked in to address my disaster. She has a real respect for your hair and loves to work with whatever natural flair you have, helping you minimise the elements you’re not fond of. She’s hugely dedicated and passionate and, outside of her skills, she’s also a really lovely human being who you can’t help but enjoy spending time with, often putting the world to rights. Thanks so much Virginia! I’ve attached some “before and after” photos to show the miracles she can work.
