Good value haircut in London ...

Options
Does this exist?!

By good value, I mean under about £35 - and even that makes me wince a bit as I type it! I've tried a few colleges and trainees in places I've lived in over the last few years and wouldn't rule this out, but my experiences have been a bit variable so I'd love to find a consistently good, but not outrageously expensive, hairdresser that I can build up a good relationship with :-)

I can get anywhere in London but work in EC2 ...

    Keep an eye on the "spa" sales on last minute.com . I have got a voucher for a cut & blow dry at the sens spa in hilton park lane, for a tenner. I am going to go there over the next few weeks.

    I also got the buyagift hair cut vouchers with the hair group but im not confident in this cut materialising for some reason ( it was free)

    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
  • Ooh, thanks Lynzpower, I hadn't thought of that! Will have a look over on lastminute.

    I sent off a voucher from a magazine for a Hair Group cut a couple of years ago but never heard from them, and couldn't get anywhere by chasing it. I sent another one off a few months ago and same thing - nothing! I've read others with the same story on here, but also some who have had a really good experience with the HG, so it sounds a bit luck of the draw! Hope it works out for you :-)

    I'd chase the HG if I were you- others seem to have had things turn out well so theres no reason you can't too.

    I'd say supercuts tend to have lower priced cuts, salons are at many stations- maybe try Liverpool St for one? http://supercuts.co.uk/salondetail/default.asp?salonid=30013&searchAddr=london&searchRadius=

    Also look out on here. I have been to Michael barnes and thought it was really good ( we had a voucher but its first time only ;) )

    I go to a Japanese place in Soho called B-zar
    http://www.b-zar.com/
    £35 for a cut and blow dry. The place is a bit no-frills but they do a really good cut and blow dry in my opinion (best I've had).

    a few of us go to imenio at high street ken, £20 for a dry cut and £30 (i think) for a cut and blow dry
  • Thanks! Lots of good ideas there! Please keep them coming as I can't be the only one needing advice on this :-)

  • Saks Academy! I had a half head of highlights followed by a toner and then a cut for £23 and the service was excellent :)
    Never argue with an idiot; they'll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
  • Thanks for all the ideas - on the advice of a friend I've just been and had my hair cut at Francesco Picardi on Old St (he also has a salon in the West End). If you look on the website you can get 50% off your first visit - I just got a lovely cut and blow dry for £30. Would definitely recommend him.

    Good luck booking that - they have almost no availability. Plan on waiting 6 weeks - 2 months for a slot.... I had to waste my voucher, as I'm now out of the country for a year. Rip-off central, and to be honest, given the manager's attitude when I emailed to complain, I'm relieved I didn't let them cut my hair.
