Great haircut! I'm trying to grow long hair and he totally fixed the mess the previous barber did. I had a black tie event a couple hours later and I was extremely happy with the result. He will be my go-to hairdresser for the rest of my time in London.

Ive always been very happy with the service received. John is a very skilled hair stylist. I also like the keratin treatment he offers which leaves hair very smooth and easy to handle.

I had been a client of John for more than 10 years but when I moved to another location I tried a different hairdresser more locally. Soon I returned to John and he has been looking after me for another 10 years or so since. He takes pride in his work and you can see it in the result.

Great service and nice chat with Andrzej who not only cut my post-lockdown hair exactly how I wanted but also treated my scalp with an amazingly soothing head massage. I left relaxed, entertained and much better looking
