“Robin and the team at The Barber Club Croydon made me feel truly welcome from the moment I arrived. As someone with autism, I often worry about things feeling difficult, but Robin’s patience, understanding, and warm approach meant I could relax and enjoy the experience. The atmosphere is friendly and inclusive, and it’s clear the team care about every client. For me, it’s all down to Robin—he turned what could have been stressful into something positive. Highly recommended.”

“My mum has been having her hair done here for years. The owner is brilliant, really patient & attentive. He also squeezed in a quick appointment for my mum when he was really busy!”

“Had the best eyelashes ever done by Agnes. AB Beauty Studio in 53 Aesthetics. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. I have a bad back and was worried about lying down straight for 3 hours. When I walked into the studio, I was amazed; the room was luxurious with a really comfortable high-tech bed, which was ergonomic and bent to my design. I was so comfortable. I visited on the hottest day of the year but was actually a bit chilly by the end! As the air conditioning was so good. The experience was relaxing, the decor delectable and the ambience ajouter with the choice of music to listen to. The patience, care and attention that was taken to apply each one of my lashes individually unbelievable. The end result: divine. I love my fabulous new look. I wanted a false lash look, and AB Beauty Studio certainly delivered! I have already booked my next appointment. These lashes have lasted through thick and thin. Im so pleased with them. Honestly best lashes in Croydon. I regret forking out money before for lashes that fell out straight away. 5 stars. Booked skin facial for my Son at 53 aesthetics. It was brilliant, head massage, mask, exfoliating, the works. This place is really the best for self-care, time out, pause and relax. Staff are all polite and adorable. Wonderful atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. I used hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Was a very positive experience.”

“I had an LVL lash lift and tint with Shetal today, and I’m so happy with the results! Shetal is so lovely really chatty, bubbly, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the appointment. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend her to anyone considering a lash lift.”

“I recently found Regal nails on Instagram, I loved their work. On my first visit Every staff member was so polite. And I must say they are all super talented with their art and creating designs. Designs is what I love and they have delivered everytime. I recommend them to everyone!!!”

“I just want to say a big thank you to Amy and her team. Amy is a real definition STAR, Not only her art but also her behaviour. I’d recommend her for both haircut and colour. I would say she’s one in a million.”

“Been coming here about 3 years now and the guys are always friendly and cheerful. Happy to have a chat if you’re the talkative type but equally will just get on with things if you’re not. Open 7 days a week with a number of barbers in situ so don’t normally have to wait too long even at their busy times”

“Good stylists, cutting a variety of different hair types. Friendly family barbers”

“Recently got a haircut that just wasn’t right, and I was pretty anxious about getting it fixed. But, Angelo came to the rescue! As someone in the hairdressing industry myself, I could immediately tell that he knew his craft inside and out. He effortlessly corrected the previous cut, and the results were spot on. The ambiance of the barbershop was welcoming, too. At first, I assumed it was just another barbershop with a random name, but I learned it’s named after the main man, Angelo. A cool touch, if you ask me. If you’re looking for a cut from a pro who truly understands hair, Angelo’s your guy! ^^”

“Best customer service very professional haircut”

“Mario takes real pride in his work which is what keeps me returning. He understands his customers hair needs and expertly creates fresh styles. Friendly, affordable and professional. I highly recommend Valentinos Barbers.”

“Amazing barbers the best hair cut polite and wonderful barbers”

“Best Barber in Croydon! The shop is always clean and tidy and there is always good music playing. The shop has Air conditioning which I am grateful for especially on those hot summer days. Iv had this Barber for the past three years and don't go anywhere else. Always leave with a fresh hair cut.”

“As always, wonderful experience at Atara!! I’ve been coming here since 2021ish and have always appreciated the care and attention to detail provided here! This time, the lovely Puja was my nail artist and my nails are stunning — ready for the holidays!! 10/10 would recommend booking her/here if you’re in the area! Definitely the best in Croydon ✨”

“I have tried several treatments at Wellness Therapy Centre: Acupuncture with Sarah Joseph - this was my first time trying acupuncture; it was an amazing experience and I loved it. I've heard the term 'holistic treatment' before and after my session with Sarah I think I I finally understand what it means. The pre-treatment session was really thorough and I felt like I got a therapy session for free! The acupuncture itself was fantastic. It was very calming and relaxing and after my session I felt lighter like a weight had been lifted. Chiropody with Michaela - my feet had a lot of hard skin and I had pretty much given up on them ever looking nice. She did such a fantastic job of removing the hard skin and pampering my feet that after the treatment my socks felt softer! She also gave me good tips on how to take care of them and now several months later my feet still feel better than they did before the treatment. Reflexology with Gillian - I really enjoyed this treatment too. it was amazing how much Gillian picked up about the rest of my body from working on my feet. I'd swear I could feel toxins leave my body afterwards. I find all the staff at this centre to be really friendly, professional and helpful and I look forward to booking more sessions in the future.”

“I visited Sanderstead Physio after suffering from sciatica for over a year. Within only a few sessions my symptoms had improved dramatically and after two months I don’t experience any symptoms at all. Chris was knowledgeable and patient and extremely professional.”

“Great Atmosphere Very friendly staff! always open to answering any questions regarding hair or tattoos 5 stars all the way!”

“This is a really nice friendly Cafe, the coffee and flapjacks are delicious. Very friendly and good service, if you are passing by I highly recommend you pop in for a comfy chair and nice atmosphere.”

“lovely staff and good amount of seating area. i had the cinnamon roll more than once it was very nice! not everyone can perfect the roll but it suited my preference for it well. there’s an upstairs with a lighter environment great for doing work and a downstairs area which is a bit moodier but a nice place to read books just depending on your preference.”

“Before my football match i popped down to this café , it is a real gem. Not only is the food halal and very well prepared, but the customer service truly stands out. The staff are polite, welcoming, and made the whole experience enjoyable. A great place to relax and enjoy — will definitely be coming back.”

“Decent Spanish omelette, good price at only £7.50. Good cappuccino also.”
