best hair dresser local?

Recommended Posts

I went to Traci at Lawler Steel after having a bad hair colour experience at another local salon. I had previously used a West End salon for 15 years but once I had kids found the trek to up to town inconvenient. Traci sorted my colour out which I'm really pleased with and suggested an update for my haircut - much needed. I have recommended her to lots of friends who continue to use her, so she must be doing something right. I agree choosing the right hairdresser is a personal thing but in my opinion she's worth the money and cuts down my travelling time.
Unfortunately I didn't have a very good experience at Lawler & Steel when I went there last spring and it took six months to grow out what was a truly terrible haircut. The staff were nice, the colour was ok but I knew as soon as I tried to blowdry my hair myself that the cut was a shambles! I didn't have Traci so maybe that was where I went wrong; I've wanted to find a good salon locally so I didn't have to trek into the west-end and I do keep meaning to try Kuki as they seem to be well regarded on here. I think sometimes when you're considering a new hairdresser it's good to go in for a blowdry first so you can get a feel for a salon and watch what they are doing on other clients before you book in for a cut or colour.
Like another poster, for years I trekked to Putney to have my hair cut/coloured after a colleague recommending someone over there to me. Then I found Andres, who works in Partridges in West Dulwich. I've found him fabulous in terms of color and cut. As my hair has gotten longer, there is little you can do with long long hair, but people do always comment on the good cut he has given, he does give it a great style despite its length. I'm sure he's dying for me to allow him to chop most of it off at this stage :)

Well, "East Dulwich Hairdressing scene" covers an awful lot of hairdressers (and I agree some of them are awful, having in the past tried many of them).


Who did you go to, and what did they do wrong? Surely they ought to put it right themselves if they've f-ed up?


You can't have tried Kuki in Bellenden Road?


I've just had another fantastic cut from Shingo.


The price for a cut and blow dry has just gone up to ?45, but for the result it's an absolute bargain.


I used to go to Charles Worthington in Covent Garden, and the last stylist I had there cut my hair so badly that someone else from there had to cut it free for ages to get it looking half decent again.


Shingo cuts my hair much better than ever I had done anywhere in town, plus it lasts a lot longer.


Kuki (and Shingo in particular) have many many recommendations on this forum. We can't all be wrong, surely :)

Try Stevie Thomas, she will come to your house. She has a thread on here, with quite a few recommendations.

Would love to know of a Soho hairdressers that charges almost half as much as ED hairdressers.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
