Dappa Hair Boutique

Dappa’s a fun and quirky place with extremely talented stylists. I’m rarely happy with my haircuts, but I’ve gone to Sara twice and loved them both. They ply you with tea whilst you’re in the chair, and you can browse the clothes before or after. Check on Wahanda for a half off deal if you’re a new customer.

I thought the staff were lovely and friendly and it was a lovely atmosphere, not boring talk about weather or holidays!
I was dissipointed though as i had booked in for colour and cut but it all took sooo long that i eneded up just having just the colour, it was such a shame as i was looking forward to a new hairdo for christmas.
I would probably consider returning as the staff were great but only on a quiet day and not near christmas!
lovely place and nice staff but very dissoragnised.

I have heard about Dappa, and I have spoken to Paul on many occasions.
When the QYPE deal became available I snapped it up.
Anywhere which is a vintage shop with a hidden barber shop in the back is going to get my attention, and after reading magazines where Agnes Deyne and other celebs talking about it, I knew it was going to be an interesting experience.
Normally when I get a haircut, it is a £5 job in Scarborough. Short back and sides with a trimmer and a cut on top.
When I entered, I was offered a cup of tea and a mince pie (YES!)
Then I was taken for a consultation and Sarah told me what would suit me.
I was then treated to a shampoo and head massage and another mince pie!
Sarah then cut and styled my hair
She was very chatty, very nice and wasn’t the standard barber shop chatter which was a nice change to have in London.
You definitely notice the difference with the type of haircuts, the look is so much better then what it was.
I have read some of the reviews below and can’t believe what has been said.
This is why QYPE is so good, everyone gets to share their opinions, however it has to be fair.
Paul and the crew are great, the shop and layout is so cool and the overall experience is 5 stars.
If you are looking for a haircut with a difference, I recommend these 100%!
Thanks Guys

I am never on time for anything in fact I’m famous for it so when I rocked up at Dappa for my hair appointment 5 mins late I didn’t think they would be too pleased! They did in fact take it in their stride found my booking (in spite of the fact that I had forgotten my voucher yes I’m that person) and showed me to a waiting area to wait for my stylist.
I only waited a couple of minutes before Emma the stylist who cut my hair came to collect me.
Emma was amazing, (I’m really fussy about my hair and have had some horrendous cuts in the past, but haven’t we all) she instantly put me and ease as she was obviously very knowledgeable. She listened to what I wanted and made a few recommendations of her own before we finally settled on an action plan and off I went to have my hair washed and treated with Moroccan oil (which was so relaxing I almost fell asleep!).
I absolutely love my new hair cut and would recommend Dappa to anyone especially Emma who was lovely, very chatty and attentive. She also gave me some great tips on what to ask for from future hairdressers and advice on dyeing my blonde hair brown.
I live in Yorkshire not London but do get down quite often and am planning on having my hair cut at Dappa again next time I’m in town.
Great hairdresser, great service and a great deal I’d definitely recommend them!

Unfortunately my original review was deleted as I received threats of legal action. So I have removed the controversial bit but here is the rest.
Dappa Hair boutique totally dissapointed me. On my (pre paid) voucher it stated that ‘superlong hair would incur a £10 surcharge’ My hair is just to my bra strap. Super long? I think not.
To avoid my stylist having to deal with my complaint after I was told I would have to pay an extra £10 anyway, I asked to speak to the manager. One of the rudest men I have ever met in my life. He refused to make eye contact or aim to resolve the fact that his company was mis selling a product (a discount haircut, and then trying to charge me an extra £10 on top of what I had already paid– which WASN’T supported by the small print, no matter how much you huff and puff Dappa Hair, the truth is, it was mis sold)
I was very polite and was trying to reach some agreement with him. However he couldn’t be bothered to have a conversation and carried on looking at his computer screen eventually saying ‘just pay the money or get out.’ He made other comments implying I was a cheapskate (when I pointed out a girl with bum length hair had just left the salon, and that was ‘super long’ hairi as opposed to my normal length hair, his response was angrily to snap ‘yeah and she paid £60 for her haircut’ as if I should be paying that. Why sell discount haircuts online if you are not actually going to offer them?) The fact of the matter is, I was sold a discount hair cut and then as soon as I arrived they tried to get more money out of me.
I am a disabled student, and couldn’t afford the extra £10, and they refused to refund the money I had already paid, even though I hadnt had the cut. He was so rude that I ended up in tears having to leave the salon humiliated and very upset.
Since badly reviewing him and the salon I have received threats of legal action and this comment ‘the stylist didnt want to cut your hair because it hadn’t been washed in months’ seeing as they were threatening legal action over slander, I think this is pretty hypocritical. I was my hair every other day.
I would urge people thinking of going here to look elsewhere. there are plenty of other good hairdressers in camden, who take their customer satisfaction more seriously. I cannot stress enough how unpleasant, and rude I found the owners attitude. I remained calm and polite (until the tears came, and then I shut up and left), I even made sure I thanked my would be stylist as it wasn’t her fault that Dappa hair had partaken in false advertising.
Save your self a horrible experience and go somewhere else, this place is the worst.

I wanted to like this place, I really, really did. So I’ll start my review with what was positive about my visit. The haircut I walked away with was ultimately a good one: I had arrived on what could quite fairly be called a ‘bad hair day’, and came out with a nice new do. And in many ways, that’s all I want to take away from the experience. I’d gone on a Wahanda deal, which made the cut exceptionally good value, and I quite like the quirky premises.
However, the customer service I received was quite wide of the mark and surprised me a great deal. I don’t think the staff intended to be rude, but fundamentally this is the only time I’ve EVER been made to feel ashamed of my hair in a salon (and I’ve rocked up at salons in some fairly unkempt states in the past, curly hair does that to you if you don’t have two hours a day to ‘tame’ it) and I just don’t think this is excusable. I was already feeling embarrassed about the state my hair was in when I walked in, and normally, what happens next is that the hairdresser puts you at your ease. That’s the professional thing to do IMHO.
What I actually got was wincing ‘yuck’ expressions from my stylist as she pulled on my hair (we can see you in the mirror you know). I was then asked ‘do I brush it?’ and I did not need to be told that there was probably not much they could do for me. I went to the sinks feeling like a lost cause! Most of all though, I definitely did not need the assistant asking me cheerily So! Do you like your frizz? What sort of a daft question is that?
After all that, they actually did an amazing job as I knew they would believe it or not even horrible hair like mine responds well to being properly treated, and I won’t fault the treatments so why put me on the back foot from the start? I can honestly say this is the first time in about 20 years I have felt insecure about my hair, even if it is sorted for now.

Love this hair salon i was a customer of the vintage shop and decided to try a haircut got to say they are top notch hair stylist and you get spoilt with the good service plenty of magazines in a very luxurious salon would recommend people always

I was very happy with my hairdo, my hair was cut by Andres, a really freindly Portuguese guy who, despite being young, came across as an expert and knew what he was talking about. Only downside — my big ‘60s waves didn’t last long at all but it was a seriously windy day so I put it down to that. Definitely going back.

Being going to dappa fo ayear now love stephen brilliant stylist attentive and good conversation and lynsay does my highlites to perfection
the salon its self is amazingly decorated 100% reccomend

Had a great haircut at dappa would highly reccomend this unique salon and there friendly talented staff don’t be suprised if you walk out in one of there vintage outfits as well
