Hi all, I'd appreciate some tips...


I want to get my hair cut towards end Jan (I've been about twice in the last 3 years). Can anyone recommend a stylist or salon they think is good? The last few times I've been a bit disappointed (main gripe is doing a really hurried blow or being persuaded to have a 'fashiony' style when all I want is a classic good cut!).


I don't mind paying for one of the more senior stylists for a better cut. Locally or up in town. As I haven't been in ages I don't mind spending up to ?80.


Many thanks :-)


Ps


Sorry just to add Im asking in the family room as I want a mum friendly haircut really, if there is such a thing!

I get depressed going locally, but every now and then make the effort to go near to where I worked and go to Stagedoor in Horseferry Road, Victoria - my stylist is Claudia but all the others fab too. Think I have tried everywhere decent in SE15 and SE22 and nowhere quite hits the mark despite the prices, worth the effort going into town. Local ok but just not quite hitting the mark.

I am a big fan of all the team at Myla and Davies by the station in Herne Hill - http://www.mylaanddavis.co.uk/Myla_and_Davis/Home.html

Sue in particular is great - very cool, but hugely approachable and does great cuts!


(not that you want to bring your kids along to the appointment, but they do a Kid Friendly Monday with toys etc in the salon)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
