Services
We have seen many hair styles come and go, however our stylists have always been kept up to date with regular training in the latest hair fashion. Our entire team at our hair salon, from receptionists to juniors and senior hair stylists continue to share the credit for our success in our brand new London premises.
Tusk is a long-established independent hair salon situated in the heart of Camden Town. We are not a franchise and we believe in creating an individual look for each of our clients. Whilst we are always up to speed with the latest exciting trends and technologies for young people, we positively welcome the more mature individual.

I loved the time I spent at Tusk. I had my hair cut and coloured by Tommy, who made me feel really at ease and is clearly very skilled at his job. Really can't recommend this studio highly enough. I love how my hair turned out too!

Amazing hairdressers that will do everything they can to make you hair dreams come true, very talented and knowledgeable especially if you want something that's not the normal everyday colour and cut, but of course they can do that too if you wish!

It was really amazing, like always! Tommy is just brilliant, very professional and the chat we had was fantastic throughout the process. All the staff are very attentive in case you're in need of something. Can't fault it, highly recommended!!! Thanks for a great service Tusk.

I came to hear about Tusk after my wife had an amazing experience with Tommy who works there.
Before this appointment I had never been to the hairdressers before for two reasons,
I could make do with the job I was doing at home, even though it was never truly what I wanted I always thought I was another box dye away from it.
I was always terrified of going to the hairdressers, I had heard so many awful horror stories of hairdressers not listening to what their clients wanted, such as 'I want an inch taking off the end and then being left with and inch of hair'.
I came in and spoke to Carol

Got a lovely hair cut here!! It was quite a dramatic change, my hair dresser was Chris. I have had so many compliments since.

Tusk is the very best hair salon. Carol and I are the same age, she' s been cutting my hair for 40 yrs. Her brother, Chris is also brilliant. The atmosphere in the salon is relaxed, friendly, super professional and the whole team make one feel comfortable. I' ve tried going to other salons here in Spain, where I live and it never works. I love Tusk!

I had my hair done by Hailey and i have to say its the best color of blonde its ever been. Even the condition of it is better than ever before. The shop is by far the most talented when it comes to colour in my opinion, Carol is lovely and everyone who works there are up to date with the latest trends and also educated on how to keep your hair in immaculate condition while rocking amazing style's. I can't wait to get my next set of highlights! 💯❤️

Been using Tusk for quite a while now and never been less than really pleased. Technically really proficient and flexible stylists (I've been done by Chris, Carole and Peter) with well trained juniors. Always a nice relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Thoroughly recommended.

I asked for chunky grey/silver highlights & ended up with nearly a whole head in platinum blonde. It doesn't necessarily look bad, but is very much not what I asked for. Hob Salon has always done well for me, but they were booked when I was available so I was trying something different. I won't be back.

I happened to walk past the Tusk salon when shopping in Camden high street and decided to just go in and have a basic cut and style as I was way overdue for a cut. The lady was lovely (sorry I forgot her name but she had funky pink hair) and I was very so happy with the result. I wish this salon was more local to me as I would have no doubts making this my regular salon. 5 stars and highly recomended for a superb finish

Avoid!
although nice people, know nothing about hairdressing, use old techniques, need to maybe go on some courses? spent hundreds of pounds here trying to get a look which they told me in the end was not achievable, they got fed up with me always complaining why it didnt look like the picture and i got fed up with their excuses and my empty purse, they should have refunded me money for sure but didnt. finally went somewhere else paid 100 quid and they got it right first time.... GO FIGURE?!

On the hunt for a new hairdresser, after my move to London. It will take a while, because this shop will not be the one. The location is great, but its not very clean. I sat down and was very reluctant to put my bag on the floor, as it was covered in hair. I get it... its a hairdressers, but they can clean up after the clients. Secondly I was given dressing gown that also was covered in somebody else's hair. Very disgusting.
The actual haircut was well done and quite nice (always too short), but the level of cleaning is a big concern.

I am so happy with my new cut! I've been to Tusk twice now and both times were all I could ask for in a hair salon. The stylists all have their own unique and flattering looks, which is always encouraging, but they're super sweet and down to earth and made this less-than-adventurous reviewer totally comfortable, too. This most recent visit was a bit spur of the moment--I walked in on a Thursday afternoon hoping they'd have time for me--and they took me in, no problem. Price is also pretty darn reasonable!

Have been going for about a year now, I book with Peter who is really funny and cool but always professional and gives great cuts. The boss & all the other staff are really nice. Yes they can do any colour of the rainbow and use high quality products including Aveda, Fudge and Bumble & Bumble. Can't fault TUSK. No recent reviews which surprises me as TUSK is always busy when I'm there. They opened in a different location in 1984 and are independent, hence the reason I wanted to check them out in the first place.

I came into Tusk with a crisis: I had gotten hair extensions put in at a salon outside of London and after a month they were a complete mess! I had so many matted knots that it was impossible to run my fingers through my hair. The whole ordeal was traumatic and so I went on a search for professionals who could repair the problem. The hairstylists at Tusk are incredibly experienced and after just two hours all the extensions were removed with relatively little pain. I left the salon with a gorgeous haircut that I am immensely satisfied with and my confidence has been restored. 5 stars for the atmosphere

When I am in London i always go to see Carole at Tusk as she is an amazing hairdresser. I cant speak for ladies haircuts as I am a man (although everyone there always seem to walk away more than happy). She has never ever let me down. Even David Beckham himself would use her regularly if he only ever tried her once. 6 stars to Tusk if it was possible - no one comes close to her in Camden. Don

I've found the one and her name is Casey. No, sadly, not romantically have I found 'The One' but in terms of hairstylist, I'm done searching. Casey at The Tusk is my new girl.

I had a random hair to get my shoulder length locks cut off into a graduated bob (as I do every year or so) yet everytime I go someplace, they just cut it all of, apparently not understanding how to leave the front long and that IT WILL look good with curly hair. Casey listened to what I wanted and clearly knew how to cut curly hair. The end result was exactly how my hairstylist in Phoenix used to cut

Tusks is a hairdressers with a difference, located on Camden High Street, the nearest tube station is Mornington Crescent.

The one thing you will notice about the staff here is they are all so individual and funky looking with their own amazingly fabulous hairstyle.
It can be hard to get an appointment here sometimes as it's a very popular unisex hairdressers so I would recommend booking in advance.

Anytime I have come here for a trim or hairstyle change I have been really happy as the hairdressers here really listen to you which results in red hot hair.

My initial reaction when I first walked in was to run away because the staff each have their own individualistic style with an edge of punk. Not that I'm against being individual or punk, I was just worried that I might end up with pink spiky hair. However, my first impressions were squashed. The staff are brilliant, lovely and talented and there are lots of them. I have had many haircuts with them and the results have always been to my liking. The bonus is that they take on a lot of trainees and offer haircuts for a fiver. Sure, it takes a little longer but considering the price of haircuts
