The Hairdressers opened its doors on Islington's Amwell Street in 2006. Owners Guy Healey and Claire Taverner met half way through their illustrious careers in London, and found they shared a vision for something new. The shop has been going from strength to strength, with the support of their loyal clients who have followed Guy & Claire from salon to salon, and a growing list of customers that are still coming through the door.

I'm co owner of the hairdressers. I started my career at ginger group in Knightsbridge, then moved on to Vidal Sassoon. I then chose to work in a much smaller bespoke way either from a loft in Old Street or by visiting clients. I met Claire when we worked at Jacks in Soho! We set up the hairdressers in 2006 trying to bring the West End feel to a more relaxed homely atmosphere, where we've worked to date with our team!

Best haircut I’ve had in years! I’m 100% happy! I always have trouble explaining what I want to my hairdresser but this wasn’t the case with Noel. She gave me exactly what I wanted & it looks fantastic! Couldn’t recommend her more. Plus the studio has a great, homely but hip, atmosphere. I’m definitely going to book again.

Claire has been cutting my hair for longer than I care to remember, I cannot recommend her and the Hairdressers highly enough. Super friendly staff and I always come out pleased with the cut.

Excellent. I arrived as a walk-in client and they managed to fit in a haircut even though it was after opening hours. I like my haircut a lot, for which the price was very fair. Will definitely return

Have been coming here for more years than I like to mention. There's always a funky tune and a laid back vibe, plus brilliant scissor skills from Claire and the crew. HIghly recommended.

The first hair salon in London that I actually want to visit repeatedly. Noelle is kind and helpful and does a great job and the salon is clean and welcoming, with drinks and usually a cute dog to help you enjoy your visit more.

Being a first timer at the Hairdressers, Claire was uber-intuitive about what I would have liked and did such a brilliant job! My husband now wants to come for his haircut after seeing mine. Very impressed.

Been coming here for years, the staff are super friendly and very knowledgable. They'll talk through any concerns you may have and actually listen to what you want. I've had my hair cuts done by Georgia and Krissy who are both amazing and I've always been very happy after. Highly recommend!
