Headmasters

«Indifferent hair cut and simply appalling service. I was greeted at reception by an androgynous creature in a miniskirt with a ring through its nose and two studs. It minced me over to a seat and gave me some magazines. By and by, my stylist Maxine came over and greeted me with the words „I am SUPPOSED TO BE doing your hair…“ It transpired she was running late and she tried to fob me off with another stylist. I had specified I wanted a female stylist and in the end she agreed to do my hair. By this time I felt like something the cat had dragged in. I won’t be going back to them again — I will go to my old Headmasters branch in Richmond — much further away but they did my hair beautifully! »

I am very satisfied with my whole experience at this Headmasters Store! I got an appointment within the next day, got 50% off colour, didn’t get talked into buying products or getting special treatment, loved the guy Leo who cut my hair, loved the head massage, loved the result AND. drum rooooooll the price was EXACTLY the one they told me beforehand!
And let’s be real, this does happen alot… here an extra shampoo, there an additional color and Bob’s your uncle… the price is much higher!
They have the 50% of colour deal three times a year, so that’s pretty neat. All in all (Half head Color, Toner, Hair Cut, Blow dry) I payed 87 quid.
I also really liked that he used the Balayage technique and not foils which supposedly gives you a sun-​kissed natural looking hair colour.

Had a cut and partial highlights. The stylist was very patient and willing to please. She used 3 different colors for the highlighting. They want to make you happy and it shows. I am very pleased with my cut and highlights. I only wish they had pictures of hair colors so I could of shown her want I wanted, but Nuala knew exactly what kind of look I was aiming for. I would recommend this salon.

When I made the appointment, I almost canceled it because of the reviews I found online but a.) I was desperate and b.) I figured it was the hair dresser not the salon that makes or breaks the experience. So I gave Headmasters Paddington a chance.
I had Alex who on all levels was wonderfully pleasant, professional and listened to what I asked for. She chopped about 5 inches off and gave me a half a head of highlights. The cut was fine, great actually and the colour of the blonde that I wanted was spot on. However… I walked out of the salon, went home and checked out my hair from all angels and discovered that I still had 1 inch roots.
The whole point of my regular salon visits is to cover up my roots… so when that doesn’t happen (yet I paid for it to happen). it’s really disappointing.
Because of this… I won’t be returning to Headmasters.
So I’m back to the drawing board in finding a London hair stylist. :(

The hairdresser I had, cut my ear instead of my hair last time I visited them. He or his manager did not apoligise instead blamed poor little me for moving my head. On previous occasions the same hairdresser cut my hair it was not brilliant but I am a little boy and all my mummy wanted was for my hair to look trim for school, she was not concerned about the style .
My ear was bleading non stop for whole morning and I had to visit St Mary’s A and E and the lovely nurse said that the hairdresser should be a butcher instead.
