AVOID! I bought a Groupon deal for a Keratin treatment at a cost of £60, but was persuaded to ‘upgrade’ to a better treatment for an extra £40. After the treatment, I didn’t wash my hair for 3 days and purchased the sulphate-​free shampoo and conditioner as suggested (another £35) and nothing. The treatment didn’t work on me at all, no noticeable difference whatsover. This is the fourth Keratin treatment I’ve had and every other time (at different salons) has been amazing my hair has felt really soft and so easy to manage — so I know what it should be like. If anything, after this treatment, my hair felt worse.
I wanted to give the salon the benefit of the doubt (perhaps this particular product just didn’t take on my hair) so rang to see if they could advise me after being passed from pillar to post between branches I was promised that the manager would call me back. Despite another prompt from me, a month later, I have heard NOTHING.
So in short, I am more than £100 poorer and all I got for my money was three days of greasy hair. I’ve given the salon the chance to make it right, but they have chosen to ignore me. So, I would advise everyone to stay away, from the Groupon ‘deal’ at the very least.

Do not use this place as i went to have my hair cut on 24/​01/​2012. The hairdresser just hacked off all my hair twice i asked her to stop and slow down and let me see what she was doing as i felt she was going to fast and cutting to short.
After wards once all the damage was done the hairdresser just said don’t worry your hair will grow back!!! the Manager just gave me discount of £6 and said she will pray for me– for my hair to grow back. #I am so upset and warning other women please do not use this place if don’t want to look like me i complete mess and afraid to face other people. This place is not a BEAUTY place but a butchers Shop. No respect for other poeple’s hair not once did the hairdresser apolgise for hacking off my hair– instead she blamed me for not understanding her style of cutting her !!! BEWARE IT IS BUTCHERS SHOP– PLEASE LISTEN AND DON’T GO THROUGH WHAT I DID

Fantastic salon, great value for money I go regularly for Brazillian/​Hollywood waxing. Just make sure you specify which beautician you would like as the prices alter accordingly. Would recommend this wholeheartedly far cheaper than Chiswick!

DO NOT GET YOUR HAIR CUT HERE! I got my hair cut here, the first time the hairdresser messed it up, when i went back to have it corrected a few months later another hairdresser completely hacked my hair off! Result having to wear hair extensions for 4 months. I got my hair exrensions done here because they gave me 10% off and also deducted the cost of the hair cut, within 3 weeks they were loose and i had to have them taken out and redone in a proper hairdressers. After four months of having my hair in hair extensions (costing me a fortune not to mention the discomfort) it has finally been cut into a bob that sits just above my jaw done at HEADMASTERS in shepherds bush by Sean who is great (fab hairdressers).
You may ask why i went back if they ruined my hair so many times and it was stupidity and the cheap prices but honestly if you love your hair do go here pay a little extra and go elsewhere.
The hairdresser was totally unsympathetic to what she had done to my hair and even a telling off from the manager didnt seem to phase her.
I have been back several times to get my nails done by Tony who has done my nails for years and who is Fabulous and i have seen this untalented crappy hairdresser messing up a number of peoples hair from cuts to brazillian blowdrys.
My advice go there at your own peril, previous hairdressers they have had have been ok but this one who seems to wear the same clothes everytime i see her ruining someones hair is horrendous.
THUMBS UP TO TONY THOUGH ONLY PERSON WORTH SEEING IN THIS PLACE

This place must be the best deal for beauty treatments in London. Based on my housemate’s recommendation I went there for a waxing appointment. I had booked an app’t because I heard it was busy. I had to wait a little bit but it didn’t matter because I don’t know anywhere else where you can get a Brazillian wax for £10. The beautician chatted away and distracted from the pain. I didn’t get my hair cut, but my housemate has and it looked really good. It’s best to bring a picture if you have a specific idea in mind. I was skeptical of the place before I went as it isn’t much to look at from the outside and the prices are disturbingly low, but I am now a convert and highly recommend that everyone go.

Great little salon, friendly service and at a decent price. i got a restyle, wash, and blow dry, as well as a full head of highlights with two colours, and my eyebrows threaded for about 95 pound. A really welcoming atmosphere, not much to look at but they give amazing results. The threading is insane, they do it to perfection. Note that the hairdressers do not speak english, so pictures are a good thing to have, but even without they get it right, just might take a little more than you are used to. Overall great service and end product!

Having been a customer for many years. I do not live locally and travel from far just to go there to get my eyebrows threaded, waxing and using the sunbed. The service has always been very outstanding. Always come out feeling great. Staff always make u feel very welcomed.
I agreed with another customer’s comment about the waxing. As Jabeen always shows an interest in her customers and talks to u, which does distract u from the pain. She also is very experience and very fast. Before u know it she is finished. Gives u good advice on the service provided.
I WOULD RECOMEND EVERYONE TO PAY THE SALON A VISIT. AND SEE FOR URSELF. I bet u will keep going back like i have.
I am very happy with the service provided. And will go no where else but there.

This place is amazing! It’s on Acton High Street and comes across as a very basic salon where most people might be slightly wary to get their hair done. However, the girls here are fantastic and the prices are so cheap you won’t believe you are still in London! I paid £10 for a hair cut– my hair was really really long and the girl was so patient and kept adjusting it how I asked her. I also had a Brazilian wax there (there is a beauty section at the back) and again, the girl who looked after me was fantastic, it was (almost) painless– she has a very firm grip and chats to you whilst she goes along to keep you distracted from the pain. That also cost £10 and she did a good a job as (if not better) than many expensive places I have been to in the past where I have been charged around £40 for the same treatment!
