Have been very wary of going to any new hairdresser after moving to london, because my previous hairdresser has done my hair since the age of 13. I tried a different salon that was very expensive and had a big name last year, and was very unhappy with the result of the colour. This made me almost overly touchy with my stylist and probably a bit rude. She still tried to make sure she was explaining everything to me so i understood and asked what my old stylist used to do. She was very professional and when the dryer came out and i saw what the color was, i could not have been happier. i have finally found my new london based hairdresser. As for the value, i just can't give it 5 stars, as it was quite expensive, but it was nowhere near as expensive as a vast majority of london based salons. you might be able to find cheaper stylists, but really this was grade a work, that i dont think you could find for cheaper in the heart of london.
