Danny Oh

Great hairdresser, very nice services and welcome. The salon is really nice and the decoration beautiful. But it is really expensive, and far too much for me.

US expat looking for a semi affordable salon and this hit the mark! Great for guys and gals. Convenient to Angel and my apartment. Danny and Soo are both great. Got a color and amazing cut with a blow dry from Soo and great dining recommendations from Danny! Tucked away in Camden Passage.

I really recommend this salon and especially Danny himself for any blondes looking to have highlights done. I had half a head of highlights and a toner done for £98 in just under 2 hours. Not the cheapest BUT I am incredibly happy with the results and therefore don’t feel ripped off, you may pay a little more but it’s worth it. The staff is also very friendly and engaging and I managed to get a last minute appointment.

Was delighted to get an appointment on a Saturday evening at short notice. Small but perfectly formed salon with lovely products and service. Danny did my blowdry and made sure he styled my hair just as I like it (I’m fussy!). I’ll be back to brave a haircut soon.

I’m in London for a few weeks and found myself badly needing a trim. I’ve been going to the same hairstylist in LA for ages and she’s knows my hair like the back of her hand. Over the years, anytime I’ve had to settle for someone else to cut my hair — I was disappointed. After doing some research, I decided to go with Danny’s salon even though it’s around 40% more than I pay back home as I didn’t want an awkward haircut to ruin my stay here.
The salon is located in a pretty trendy area with lots of café’s /​outdoor market /​etc and attracts young urban professionals. It’s well styled and quite small which gives it a very personal feel. I was received by the team with a friendly attitude who offered me a complimentary drink and attended to me in a very timely manner. Danny himself is a cool and down to earth guy who also gave me some great tips for my stay in London.
The haircut itself (most important to me above all else) was great. He listens and communicates well throughout the process so there is a good feedback loop and no surprises. At the end of the cut, I was happy to say he did just as good a job as my stylist who has been cutting my hair for ages (which is a compliment).
While I can understand the (mild) premium this salon charges for it’s pleasant experience — it’s still a bit above my price point for a long term stylist. However, I did enjoy the experience, and will probably return if my stay in London gets extended a bit. I’m more than happy to a pay a premium to ensure a good cut while I’m out here.

After a whole year of trial and error (with more error…), I’ve finally found my trusted, go-​to salon in London!
Conveniently located in Camden Passage, a short walk from Angel station, this is a small, laid back salon that is perfectly on point. They use and sell bumble and bumble and Moroccanoil products, both of which I love and use myself. They also offer water, teas and coffee during your visit.
My regular stylist is Emiko, who is probably one of the few people in the world who is capable of giving my super straight Asian hair beautiful Victorias Secret curls and volume to last a night out.
She is currently on maternity leave so I have since had my hair cut and styled by owner Danny Oh, who is lovely and takes the time to listen and understand what you want and need.
The salon seems to have a pretty even balance of male and female clients. I always feel looked after here and prices are well reasonable. Highly recommended.

I’ve had my hair cut by 3 different people at Danny Oh and all 3 did a fantastic job. I’m not very clued up about hair so I’m happy to pay for professionals who know what they’re doing. I have to say very little and they always understand what I want and do an amazing job. It’s also a lovely experience. They’re friendly but not too chatty and I feel very comfortable. I leave feeling relaxed and happy.

I have tried several well reviewed, high-​priced salons in this area and been very, very disappointed.
Finally I went to Danny Oh, and it was great. The salon is very small and laid-​back (I enjoyed listening to Beyonce’s latest album on repeat throughout my color and cut). Aki did a fabulous job – unlike the other stylists I’ve seen recently, he was able to take a bold, skilled sculptural approach and give me a bob with really good shape. I am so grateful.
Also, prices are very reasonable.

After having a bad experience in a high profile hairdresser’s in angel, I was wary about looking for another one. But this hairdressers fits the bill — Danny is careful and considerate, listened to what I wanted and i was really impressed. I will be back!

I’ve been looking for a hair stylist since I moved here from California and finally found Emiko at Danny Oh. She took her time and did exactly what I asked, if not more. I also had a fabulous hair wash and head massage in a very comfortable chair (which isn’t usual for hair salons). Overall I highly recommend this salon, especially Emiko!

This is a great small hair salon. the two people who cut hair here are very friendly and sweet and they do a great job. they offer tea and it is a very calm atmosphere. I’d go back!

I’m in London for grad school and have been looking for a place to color my roots and a trim to hold me over before I go back to the US to see my usual stylist. Danny did the color and Emiko did the cut and blow dry.
The color is a near perfect match, I have blonde hair. I was most worried about this but very happy with the results.
The cut is exactly what I asked for. Half an inch off and she really listened. Nice bangs too. The blow dry left me with soft bouncy hair.
The wash was really amazing. The helper washed then, to my surprise, gave me a proper head massage. I don’t even get it that good at my usual salon in D.C.
The service was really great. Friendly and warm. Got me tea twice.
It was a bit expensive but for the quality definitely worth it, plus they scheduled me in same day within an hour of calling.
£90 color £48 cut… will definitely come back between my trips to the US

This is a great little salon on Camden Passage. They are incredibly lovely people and I’ve had great haircuts here. The colourist, Emi, is great at what she does and is warm and friendly. Slightly pricey, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. I highly recommend Danny Oh!

This is a gem, the salon is perfectly located, the team is very friendly and very fashionable and very up to date with what’s going on in London, always happy to help, oh and give very good haircuts! I almost forgot as it doesn’t feel like a normal salon, much better than the big chains.
Also a good mark for the deco, not pretentious and reflects very well the service and what they are about.

‘Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.’
Sorry, it’s all I had in my head throughout my haircut.
This salon is small but really cool, I was a bit scared going in at first as from the outside it just looks so hip but the staff were really friendly. I’m pleased with my haircut and was glad the hairdresser soon caught onto the fact that I don’t like gossip but I love to talk about food and restaurants and extra kudos for not saying the usual hairdresser line «I was rubbish at Maths» when they ask me what I do, Emi just smiled.
If I have one slight niggle it was the chairs I had to sit in whilst getting my hair washed — really not comfortable. To get my head in the right position I had to slide down the chair which had been raised into a bed like position until my bum was almost hanging off the side and my back was beginning to hurt.
Still, it only lasted a few minutes so I’ll live and I’ll probably be back too.

A great small salon in the heart of Islington — just at the start of Camden Passage off Upper Street. Look for the giant plastic orange and green cartoon dogs out-​front!
The salon is tiny but oh so very trendy… just 3 stations on the main floor and 2 washing sinks downstairs. Inside you will see a selection of miniature toys and a hip and funky atmosphere. I agree with the other reviewers that they manage to be both high-​end and unpretentious.
Danny and his team are remarkably friendly and professional. Upon entering you will be asked if you want a beverage… nothing like a nice cold beer to get you in the mood for a haircut. The men’s cut is a bit pricey (circa 40 quid), but they do a great job and certainly seem like experts in what they are doing. I’ve been twice and both times have been happy with my haircut.
They also have a great selection of gentlemen’s magazines including Monocle — my favorite. The beer and Monocle are worth 4 stars on their own!

Just came from my first appointment for a cut and finish with Miu at Danny Oh. A lovely experience from start to finish.
The salon is fairly small and cozy, an upstairs with 3 styling stations and downstairs is the washing area and one more styling station. It was peaceful when I arrived for my afternoon appointment, 2 other stylists were working and there was a regular influx of clients, but no one was racing around and there wasn’t a sense of noise or chaos like I’ve experienced in other salons. The space is very clean with modern and simple, funky décor. It felt high-​end, but absolutely unpretentious, as everyone was quite friendly.
I came in for a cut, not knowing exactly what I wanted — I needed a professional’s help. I have been growing out a graduated bob for the past 6 months which has left my hair in a disastrous, blah state. I thought I wanted long hair again, but given how horrible it looks during the growing-​out process, i was now reconsidering this and thinking about going back to the shorter ‘do. Miu gave me a thorough consult and even though there was some language issues (I am American and Miu moved here from Japan 6 months ago) she made an effort to put me at ease and I felt very confident that she understood the look I was going for. Danny, the owner, also stepped in and offered some hair magazines to look through to ensure that Miu and I were having the same vision. I loved that Danny, was present in the shop — seeing his own clients and getting coffee and tea for customers.
The whole process went very smoothly. Shampoo was great, Mui was completely attentive. As far as the cut, one thing I can say about this gal — she is seriously meticulous! Mui made sure my cut was perfect, literally down to every single strand of hair. After drying, she went back and reshaped and perfected every section of the style. I gave her feedback about areas I was concerned about, and she altered them to my liking with skill and precision. She spent a great deal of time and gave thorough attention to the cut.
One thing to consider, the space is pretty small, so don’t expect to have a private conversation with your stylist. I didn’t mind it — the open atmosphere felt friendly and welcoming to me, but others who prefer to share intimate information with their stylist may not appreciate the ease of eavesdropping.
Cost was 45 GBP for the cut. This may be a little high, but pretty average among high-​end salons. Very professional service, friendly atmosphere and a highly skilled stylist.

The cut looked great when I left the salon, but I can’t recreate what Emi did to style it. My hair has a duck tail –like flip and just isn’t falling in place properly. I look like a young girl who escaped her mother’s hairbrush and am sadly missing my longer hair.

I was drawn into this shop by the cute perspex doggies decorating the outside. I booked a cut and colour right away with Shihoh. Along with having a wonderful personality, she is great at hair. This was the first place I had been to in London that I felt I received a great cut, colour and at a incredible price. Danny, the owner, is so sweet and ensures that all his customers are happy. It is worth the trip to Angel.

Went in because I couldn’t deal with my gray hair. Danny took a look and then someone else took care of me. It is small and unpretentious – I hate going to the usual factory salons or haughty-​taughty place…
Offered drinks and were quite friendly. They did a good job of just blending in the color with my existing color… not too bad 45£. I’d go back…
