I found Daniele after a sad experience at a different salon in Spitalfields. He is fantastic; always on time, really good at colour (I've done both highlights and bayalage with him) and I just really enjoy every time I've been there over the last 2ish years. Thank you Daniele! I'd highly recommend him or anyone at ESHK if you're looking for a better experience than the one you have currently.

As someone who finds getting their hair cut a chore; usually I just find someone cheap to do it quickly,
However, I thought I'd give the friendly-looking salon near mine a go as a Xmas treat (although more expensive than I would usually pay).
I was surprised to walk out having had a really pleasant time and getting exactly the haircut I wanted.
Becky took the time for me to explain what I was going for, measured carefully and checked constantly if I was getting what I wanted.
So, I guess now, I pay slightly more for my haircut - will definitely go back.

Positive: Professionalism
I met Silvia today. Five stars for Silvia!! Silvia was professional and personable. Silvia did an amazing job with colour matching my hair (I had disgusting re-growth silver highlights🤦♀️). It wasn’t an easy job for her. Any Australians visiting in London, I would recommend going to ESHK Barbican.

Fantastic service! I was looking to try a new style and get a far shorter cut than I'm accustomed to and the result was exactly what I wanted- the stylist that cut my hair was really nice and put a lot of attention to detail with the thoughts provided- the atmosphere of the place is fabulous as well, really nice decor and lovley jazzy indie/alt music playing. Definitely going back again!

The salon is clean and tidy, I adore the plants dotted around everywhere! Sylvia's experience and wisdom really shine through. She was determined to be satisfied with her work, and was quick and efficient in the application process. Very honest, polite and easy going. Really impressed with her knowledge on bleaching, and the time she took to make sure there was the least damage to my hair as possible. She finished it off with a shaggy wolf-like cut that framed my face, while still keeping the length of my hair. I'll be back Sylvia, thanks again!

I had a very horrible experience in the salon in barbican
I called to book for a cut and the receptionist… automatically booked me with vienn that is supposed to be one of the senior stylists with a decade of experienc.
Well. I went in the salon and the cut and styling took around 1.5 hr(1 hr only for cut). She went through consultation,I showed her pictures and we talked a lot about. I left the salon ok. Arriving home I checked better the cut and I noticed the length was just on the shoulder and my hair were flipping up,then there was a bulky/choppy look.
I called again the salon and only

Nothing like my beloved Taylor Taylor which I cannot afford to go to for a simple trim. This place does have a decent ambiance (but lacking in the music department) and my haircut and blow dry was good. My stylist Ana was eager to please and very professional. The receptionists could have been a bit more friendly--and note that they have a first-time client discount.

If my hair had arms it would hug ESHK!
I stumbled across ESHK when I started working in Clerkenwell and now I wouldn't dare trusting my hair with anyone else. Their stylists are all very talented and know how to shape your hair to compliment your face, which sounds pretty blatant but you'd be surprised at some of the experiences I've had in the past! They're definitely very reasonably priced for the quality of stylists in a London salon. I've got quite long and thick hair and a cut/blow dry only costs me £45.
Everyone loves being pampered when you're having your

This is somewhere I'm almost reluctant to divulge because Meg is amazing and frankly, it's hard enough to get a booking with her as it is, especially since they opened a second salon at Old St.
Meg is amazing at dealing with curly/kinky/unruly hair - mine falls into the last category. There are about six stylists at any one time and though Wallpaper* and ID seem to be magazines of choice, it's very relaxed and not at all pretentious. Around £40+ for cut and blowdry for women.
They do now take cards - phew. No customer bathroom on the premises but you can use the cafe a couple

I stumbled upon Eshk on my way back from the India visa office and all I did was take a peek inside at the decor and the staff and I had to go in. I had previously had some very bad experiences with Toni and Guy and normally wouldn't go into a place that I know nothing about, but the staff was so friendly and gave me an estimate that was EXACTLY what I was looking for.
This is going to sound like I am insulting them, but I love them, stick with me, it gets better. The girl doing my hair had my same name, and I thought it was fate. But she was fairly new to the shop, and even though I told

A relaxed, friendly place for guys and gals to get their hair chopped off without breaking the bank. The place feels cool and current, without being ultra trendy or intimidating. Grab your complimentary drink and chill out on the big, comfy sofa until it's your turn in the chair.
They also sell (and use) Bumble and Bumble products here, so you can get your haircare fix. Open seven days a week, five of them until 8:00pm, I believe.
