Great salon, really recommend it for anyone with curly hair. Its a lovely positive environment with extremely experienced hairdressers who really listen to what you need. I left with a wonderful cut and lots of advice on styling my kind of hair. Ill definitely be returning, its the kinda place that you can really trust to give a thorough consultation and quality cut.

On the pricy side IMO, however, the service is excellent, it cannot be faulted. My (mixed race) hair is being looked after very well by Damian, which also looks and feels great for the first time in a very long time, and that is after attending only 3 appointments. Just having a wash, blow-dry, and treatment, no more relaxers needed!

I couldnt be happier with the treatment and result I received! This was my first cut since going curly (3 years!!) so I was dreading it. But Maya was amazing at reassuring me and telling me clearly how much she will need to cut! She also explained very well which of the hairstyles I wanted would suit me and why, and I ended up crying from happiness when I saw the end result! I love my fringe, I love that my hair is now healthy and I love everyone at this salon! They treat you so delicately and ask your opinion always! Ive found my hairdresser!

I am always very anxious when visiting a new hair salon, are they going to listen? are they going to mess it up? Tiff straight away knew my hair was my identity, what I have always been known as Caz with all the hair so she knew it had to be right. She gave me full bodied shape whilst maintaining some of the length. Didnt for one minute feel worried at all throughout the process. She guided me with the things that may have caused my loss of curl pattern over the years and recommended some products to order to maintain and work on getting the curl pattern back. I left the salon with healthy

I am honestly very disappointed by this salon. I went for the second time today thinking that I would give them another chance and I am now quite sure I won't go there ever again. First it's impossible to get an appointment with a stylist (the cheapest on their price range) nor on the week-end. So I had to take some time off work to pay 72 for the most ridiculous haircut ever. I got an appointment in the middle of the afternoon with an 'artistic director', and when I saw the amount of hair on the floor afterwards I was stunned, there was barely anything. And if the hair cut service wasn't great

Im new to London and wear a short, blond tapered cut, all natural. I had been following this salon online for a while and felt good that there was a salon dedicated to my type of hair. Their before and after photos are awesome! Finally, I was ready to make an appointment and ended up showing up in person to do it. Everyone was nice and they ended up squeezing in a consultation at that time. I felt good that they understood what needed to be done and were positive and reassuring about it. I went in today (about 3-4 weeks after initial visit/consultation) and it was a great experience! Super positive

It is quite rare in these days to get hairdressers who care, let alone the ones who make you feel like a million bucks thanks to their curly hair cutting skills. I can not recommend enough 3thirty salon because this salon is the pure definition of going the extra mile. Immaculate service, nourishing treatment for my hair, and above all, curls to die for. Very thankful for 3thirty Salon and I wouldnt hesitate a second about flying to get my hair cut on this fab salon again.
