Feel Hairdressers

Just got my hair highlighted by Stelios. Having just moved here from NYC, I chose Feel based on their already high reviews, and Stelios lived up to my expectations. My hair is the perfect color and not too one-​dimensional (he used a variety of different blondes). It looks so natural! Ecstatic that I found my colorist on the first try. I’ll be coming back to Stelios for a cut and know I’ll be in good hands.

Awesome, affordable hair salon in SOHO. The guy who cut my hair was extremely attentive to detail and made sure that every cut was made for a purpose. It was an enjoyable experience and I got a great tattoo artist recommendation while I was there! Definitely recommend and gives a nice day of shopping after walking out with a rockstar haircut!

I moved to London from Manhattan last year and I was dreading getting my first hair cut. As most girls can relate, you are always alittle terrified to have someone new to touch your hair once you have a trusted hair stylist. I discovered Feel in Soho after much research, and I have read great reviews for Amy and I decided to give it a try.
The verdict is that Feel is an absolute Gem in a big city. All the staff are nice and friendly; the salon itself have a wonderful vibe and plenty of natural sunlight that light up the whole space; price wise it is definitely reasonable; and best of all, Amy is a pure JOY to work with and she does an amazing job to both color (balayage) and haircut.
I highly recommend if you are new to London and looking for a salon, or if you just simply want to try something new, FEEL and Amy is definitely the place and stylist for you.

Feel Soho is still the best salon I’ve ever been to. Brigita (who fabulously fixed a disastrous dye job and took me platinum in 2012) no longer works there, but fear not! Amy is a hair wizard and in the last year has fixed a bad platinum hair situation, got rid of some residual blue dye, and given me a killer haircut. Every time I sit in her chair, she gets a new (self-​inflicted) challenge, but she always nails it.
Today, she took me from ice cold platinum to a gorgeous warm chestnut colour in two processes and 2 hours. It’s beautiful, my hair is in great shape, and the estimate matched the price I paid. In the time I’ve been going to Feel, I’ve never been surprised with a higher bill than expected, never gotten a bad cut or colour, and never felt like I had less than their full attention.
I cannot stress enough how excellent the service and quality here is — and at £39 for a cut, it’s a steal by London standards!

I’m writing a 2^nd review for FEEL because Jenna totally saved my hair and great hair really does make you feel good about yourself!
I’ve been getting my hair dyed for almost 10 years… i’m very loyal to my colorists… BUT…I went to Jenna… got a gift certificate to a Mayfair salon so had to use that, and then went back to Jenna… THEN went to Korea… got my hair done there… and now finally back to Jenna again…
My original colorist Johnny in Korea does thicker highlights… which i loved… BUT when growing out looked awful and blockish… bc my roots are dark dark brown. And on top of that i had the worst hair cut… very sliced up and too feathery… it was a mess once it started growing out.
I came back to FEEL and Jenna knew immediately I was unhappy… hair is a big deal for me. she totally knew EXACTLY what to do. she fixed my fringe and made it less feathery and just did a root touch up + toner… with the root touch up she blended it down into the blocked highlights so that it created a more natural color gradation.
I left feeling really great about my hair. Jenna really knows what she’s doing and is super good at it.
(I’d also like to add that people need to know what they want… and what kind of look they are going for with their hair… your stylist or colorist job isn’t to redefine you. it’s to guide and make what you want possible in the best way.) =)
All this came out to 60 £ (42 £ (roots) + 18 £ (toner))
This is why I really like this place. it’s the price it needs to be. Not too expensive, Not too cheap but exactly what i’d pay. I say this bc i’ve been getting my hair done for ages and know how much it should be. And you definitely do get what you pay for.
(*TIP: if you are an expat living in London… as a rule of thumb, this is how you know if it’s the right price. If you used to get your roots touched up for $ 60 in the US… then 60£ in the UK is about right. it’s not the same amount if exchanging currency but… a coke is $ 1 in the US… but 1£ in the UK…)
Hope this review is helpful and that you will get great color too!

I have a difficult hair — thick and stubborn! And Nadia did her magic and knew what she was doing. I am also very particular about how my hair is texturised, and she listened!
And then I met Heath the owner, who is a fellow Aussie and he made sure you are 100% happy before you leave. Best service and haircut so far even though not cheap! I guess it comes with the quality.

I would not recommend this place to anyone based on my two, almost three experiences here. The first time I came in to get my dark roots bleached blonde. I have been to several places in the last 3 years to get my hair bleached because I have been living between the US and the UK. When I came in the stylist (who no longer works here) bleached my roots, which took 3 hours in total and when she washed it out there were dark patches still so the head stylist told her to bleach those spots again and do another toner. At this point they asked me if they would could order me a sandwich from the place next door, and since it would be another few hours I said yes. When they delivered it the salon then asked me to pay for it in cash only, which really surprised me. I figured they would pay for it and charge me all at once when they finished my hair, but thankfully I had exact change as they didn’t. The head stylist then proceeded to tell me that it had taken so long and was a difficult job because I had been to so many different places to have it bleached and I had longer roots, as if he was trying to blame me for this taking so long. If they had told me in the beginning that it would have been this hard for them I have gone somewhere else. I had never had a problem with getting my roots done before, even if it had been a few months since my last bleach. In the end it took them 6 hours to finish my hair, which didn’t look that great and left me with burn marks along my forehead.
I don’t know why I booked another appointment here, I guess because I knew the place. I made an appointment a few months after the first experience and this time I wanted a cut and all over colour as I had decided to go dark for the first time in 3 years. I get to the salon and sit in the chair while waiting for the stylist. She then tells me they need to do an allergy test and I would have to come back in 48 hours to have my hair dyed. What annoyed me about this was that I had cleared my schedule to come in for a 10 minute allergy test and they said nothing about it on the phone. They kept saying it’s the law, which was fine but why did they book the appointment first rather than tell me over the phone that I would actually need to book a second appointment. I came back and got my hair dyed and cut 48 hours later and it looked good but really nothing to write home about.
The third time I called about 10 months after this appointment to book a cut and colour. The receptionist said she could book my cut in first and then I would need another allergy test and come back 48 hours for the colour. I get that they are following the law but I don’t understand having to come in for two separate appointments, one for a cut and one for the colour, who has time for this? Last time she said nothing about needing an allergy test every 4 months, and I just wish they would inform their clients of these rules which I have actually never experienced in any other salon in the UK or US. I canceled this appointment and am going to try and find a salon that is more helpful and polite than this place.

I came here for the first time after reading the positive Unilocal reviews and wasn’t disappointed. I had a full highlight and trim, and both of the girls that did it were great. They took the time to listen to what I wanted and even had an iPad to show me an array of possibilities for the color, which was really reassuring since that took the guesswork out of everything. Was offered a coffee and magazines right away, and all of the stylists around me were very nice.
There are a ton of stylists onhand so that’s why I was able to get a same-​day appt — don’t let that scare you off (usually that’s a bad sign in the States). The price was reasonable, people were friendly, and results were great. Definitely recommend!

My favourite place to get a haircut in London and I’ve tried a few. I can highly recommend Jenna who has been great working with me trying to figure out what I want — I knew it’s something new but had no idea. Once she was finished with me, I was happy and I like that I can come back and it will always look good. I even got complimented at out company’s Christmas party described as a man with the best hair at the firm. I blushed a bit.

Must see stylist Amy! I have never been so happy with my hair! I am a blonde from the US who is very particular about my hair. Ive been going to the same person for the past 6 years. But given my current situation, I am traveling for the next 9 months and dont have access to my normal hairdresser. I read reviews on Unilocal about Amy and came in for a partial highlight. She did an absolutely amazing job. I explained that I love natural looking highlights and dont like anything too bleach blonde. She gave me what I wanted spot on! And actually she did it better than my old stylist. If you have any doubts about getting your hair done here, forget about them. Amy will give you exactly what youre looking for. And on top of that the rest of the staff are extremely nice.

I should preface by saying that I’ll certainly be giving Feel another go once my hair grows out a bit and I have more to work with. I’m just not as wowed as others, I suppose.
Pros:
+ amazing colour job; seriously, even if I end up getting my hair cut elsewhere on a regular basis, I’ll be coming back here for the colour
+ great value – I doubt you can find a better price for a great colour in central London, and they don’t skimp on the foils!
+ really easy to set up an appointment
+ laid-​back, unpretentious atmosphere
Cons:
— cut wasn’t what I had envisioned when I used words like ‘edgy’ and ‘different’; I knew that the current condition of my hair would prohibit certain things, but I walked past this same cut five or six times on the street the same day I had it done. and mostly on ladies at least 20 years older than me. It isn’t that it’s a disaster by any means, hence my plan to go back for another go, but I had this cut when I was 14, and now I have it again. It’s boring, it’s safe, and I don’t think it does me any justice.
— the music volume was ridiculous; there weren’t many clients in, and yet I had to keep yelling back and forth with my stylist
— stylist didn’t actually introduce herself, and I didn’t find out her name until later when I looked it up on the website
— maybe it’s because it was a slow day, and it’s not a big deal, but I kept catching the assistant and receptionist watching my hair being cut in the mirror, and not anyone else; it was making me a little paranoid that things were going seriously wrong!
I did get to watch Heath in action while I was getting my cut, and he’s probably the person I’ll go to in a few months when my hair’s grown out enough to do something more flattering and up-​to-​date with it.

When I got out of Feel, after a gruelling 5-​hour long balayage and a serious butt-​pain like one can’t imagine, I was like WHAT have they done to my poor beautiful hair? To be completely honest, I hated it at the beginning, because it was hard for me to adjust to being a blonde after having been a brunette my whole life. But you know what? My hair is amazing. It has been done so perfectly, and the lightening is so natural and soft that it looks and feel a lot more expensive that what I actually paid for (around £150)
I’ll go get it even lighter soon, since my stylist Giuseppe said I can do and I just need to wait a bit longer.
Ask for Giuseppe, he is the king of highlights and balayage!

I had a terrific haircut from Stelios a few months back, then went in a while later for a trim of my fringe and was even more impressed by his understanding of hair and what works with different face shapes and such. I totally trust him to know what cut will make me look great, and when going in for a hair cut there’s nothing more important to me than to feel that trust and appreciation for my hairdresser. I’m so pleased to have found him and look forward to going back. Also, Feel has a very friendly atmosphere. I found the business owner to be attentive and welcoming. If I could give 6 stars I would!

After browsing Qype to find the perfect hairdresser in central London for an affordable price I’ve read the reviews on Feel and decided to try it out a few month ago.
I was very happy with my haircut! I really liked the place, the owners are very friendly, my hairdresser was really kind and a great hairdresser of course… I can’t remember about the head massage that everybody’s talking about in their reviews but they’ve offered me a drink!
It’s in the heart of Soho and really good value, only 35£, for the area.
They have all you can look after to be happy about a hairdresser!

After doing some online due diligence for quality and price I picked Feel. I was very pleasantly surprised. I came in for a color consultation and talked to Kimmie. She’s a Danish born hairdresser who has a great sense of color and knows how to achieve it. After the consultation I scheduled an appointment for the next day. The front door girl could have been a bit more welcoming but at the end of the day I was there to get my hair done, and didn’t particularly care.
As I was deciding between going all out blond and a more «caramel-​ly» color, Kimmie steered me slightly to the conservative which was probably the right thing to do. I spent several hours in foils getting full highlights. She put an incredible number of foils on so you can expect a very thorough job.
I was very happy with the results and people that didn’t know me before had no idea that my hair had been highlighted. It looked incredibly natural. I am planning to wait a bit and then go lighter in color as I’ve always been a brunette craving the limelight.
Kimmie is truly a great hairdresser (4 years of education in Denmark!) and I would highly recommend her. The wifi was down when I was there but hopefully they’ll fix it soon so you can enjoy surfing the web while waiting for your highlights to take. The student discount rocks but be prepared to show ID.

Feeling really disheartened about my thick, waist length hair, I went to Feel a couple of months ago after looking at reviews of dozens of places.
My experience was fantastic. I’ve never really done the whole salon experience before so I was pleasantly surprised to get an appointment the day I phoned up to book.
My stylist was Roberto, who upon explaining that I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with my hair, or indeed whether I even still wanted the length, knew exactly what would suit me and even refused to cut my hair short (thank goodness!).
I was made to feel really special and months on my hair still looks great. I’ll definitely be going back!

I dropped into Feel today after reading the positive reviews here on Qype a few days ago and i’m extremely pleased I took a chance on a salon i’d never been to before. It was good value for money at £36 for a ladies cut and blowdry. Stelios was my stylist and he did a very good job, plus he’s a lovely guy and very attentive.
I would definitely recommend, i’ll be returning for my next cut.

I had to choose a hairdresser to have my hair cut for the first time in London, so looked up in Qype for a place with good reviews that I could also afford! Feel was my final choice due to those very good reviews they had and I went yesterday morning for a cut & blowdry (£36). I was pleased that I didn’t have to wait at all. Kristen was the stylist that cut and dried my hair and I must say that I couldn’t be happier with the result. She understood perfectly what I wanted, despite my explanations weren’t the best (as English is not my first language) and did exactly that.
I will be going back for sure, but probably on a weekday. For info: the don’t offer the student discount on Saturdays but anyway, it was worth it :)
UPDATE (22÷4÷11): I’ve been to Feel two times more since my first visit. I got Stelios and Kristen, respectively, and both times were as good as the first one, so I’ll keep going back for sure. I’m afraid that if I ever leave London and go back to Spain, I’ll have to keep coming back to have my hair cut!

You know when you have a great haircut and it immediately makes you want to wander around telling strangers about it and then you are so excited you buy some lilac skinny jeans?
Well the details are irrelevant but the theme is the same. Great haircuts make you feel great. And blow me down with a feather if Feel haven’t just done that same thing to me.
I had a superb haircut somewhere very expensive about a year ago. I effing loved it and begrudged every second the fringe grew too long. Since then I’ve been traipsing around London town looking for someone who could cut my hair similarly and have been disappointed by people from the same salon and people from a different salon. Until today, natch — I booked an appointment at Feel just a few hours before going down and was cut up good by Kristen. She totally got what I wanted — and did it with no fuss and plenty of skill — start to finish (with a wonderful wavy blowdry) in under 40 minutes.
I’m well aware that reviewing hairdressers can be a bit of an odd task — you have to find one that suits you, understands what you want and so on — but here Kristen hit the nail on the head. Good on ya girl, mad props and all that. £35 all in and everything. Brilliant.

This is a London hidden ‘gem’. As a former Taylor Taylor regular, converted to Hurwundeki. I am now a true convert and a convert to Feel and all because of one word — Heath. He is the salon owner and a charming Aussie/​virtual customer service ambassador. While this salon is not a pampering palace replete with champagne and bubbles, it is absolute value — for — money and exactly, precisely what you want when you are looking for a phenomenal haircut.
With hideously ethnic and slightly overwhelmingly thick hair that is far from low maintenance, I ask for a lot in my stylist (I know). Heath asks, he listens, he has an shrewd eye, suggests and asks again, and damn he pays attention.
Nobody pays for pretension and thank god this salon lacks it, because it makes up for it in care. Salons listen up… Heath and his team are the ‘emily post’ of customer service.
