O’ Sullivan’s

Very Junior stylist. Asian guy who meant to be senior stylist but didn’t have a clue what he was doing, he had absolutely no idea for making the haircut look at least good. Zero attention to detail. He was very nervous for the whole time and ignored my requests to fix few areas that needed styling from my point of view. ‘Saucepan cut’ as someone mentioned above is quite accurate description of what I got. I’m very disappointing. I’ll never go there again. I could get a similar or even better haircut for 10 quid everywhere else.

I purchased a Groupon voucher for a cut, blow dry and treatment at O’Sullivans salon. I was so looking forward to having the luxury treatment that was promised from this salonwell never was I so disappointed.
Firstly I wasnt offered as much as a glass of water while I waited.
The stylist came along, never introduced herself, and took me for my wash. I got soaked, there was more water running down my neck and in my ears than on my head.
Then came the cut, the stylist actually spoke at this stage and asked what way I wanted ‘it’ cut. I explained I was letting ‘my hair’ grow so just wanted it tidied up.
Now I come from a family of hairdressers and know whats what when it comes to cutting hair. Basically the stylist combed my hair and cut around the bottom in one gono sections to be seen in sightit reminded me of when I was a child and we used to get what was know as the ‘saucepan cut’.
I was so disappointed with the service I received at O’Sullivans and definately would not ever recommend them to anyone.

I actually left this place in awe and amazement. I went here with my whole family, ages 3 to 60 and everything in between, and they took care of all of us professionally and fabulously. Pascale did my 3 year old’s hair; 2 weeks later it still looks stunning & I can tell in the pool that the lines are perfect and precise. Chris did my 17 year old’s hair, which was already gorgeous if I may say, but he made it glamourous, and (thankfully) subtly talked her out of some mohawk thing she would’ve regretted in a week.
But the woman there who does «hair up,» deserves special mention because her creative genius in hair is unparalled in my experience. The attention and care she took with doing up my 2 foot long hair was impressive. She put every single curl and pin in meticulously and mindfully. In the end, doing the front and sides, she checked every placement to see if it would work with my face (& the rest of the hair), ie, I wasn’t just a disembodied head of hair. She even arranged the net on the hat she pinned in just so.
You are in good hands in this salon. I don’t live in the UK, but I will look back on our hair experience there as a a fond and fun memory.

This place is fantastic.
I’ve lived in London for 5 years and after constant searching, have finally found my perfect hairdresser — senior stylist Pascale. She’s not at all pushy, remembers my name & also what I chattered on about last time — but when I don’t want to chatter on, that’s fine.
The haircuts have been consistently excellent — my hair looks infinitely healthier since I’ve started coming here regularly, even though I only get a tiny trim each time! I don’t even have to say anything apart from «just a little bit off», and that’s that. No worries about not being in safe hands.
It’s a very welcoming salon — I have previously found that I perhaps feel a bit ‘judged’ in certain salons in Covent Garden, but I’ve been here having been out in a blizzard, barrelling in through the door drenched with rain and snow and no-one’s batted an eyelid. There’s always a cup of tea on hand as well, which is almost certainly the way to my heart.
I always leave here feeling happier than when I went in — it’s is a real hidden gem.
