I looked it up on Google and I can't find anything!


I tried a new salon this week in Tooting. It is called 'Shilpa's' - as in Shilpa Shetty! I think she owns it. My mother wanted to try eyebrow threading because she envies my perfect arches (admires own image in compact mirror). I took Brenda to Shilpa's because I had been going to Shavata at Harrod's and I knew that my mother would tell me off when she found out how expensive it was, so I needed to find somewhere cheaper.


Anyhow, I took Brenda in, and for a joke I said, 'remove everything below her eyelashes' - OHMYGOD! It was like a sandstorm in the salon. I couldn't bear to look. That woman had no sense of humour and lets just say that my mother was thoroughly depilated...

I've never found anyone who does a decent arch in London. I wasn't impressed by Shivatta but I got an assistant and I swear I came out of Harrods looking permanently surprised. There's a lady in NYC who gives me movie star brows (no, not Lassie) but I don't get to her often, obviously.

No, by a lovely Hungarian lady with a nice fast technique. It's all in the wrist, apparently. And she doesn't seem to mind when you cuss and swear, which is a bonus. She's heard it all before.


Does Mrs Miyagi have a salon? I would give her a go?

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
