This salon is my favourite day out!

Getting your hair cut and coloured here feels more like a day out than an appointment. I love going to the Notting Hill salon - it's so relaxing it's like stepping into my best friends living room. Everyone is so welcoming and I always leave feeling 100% better. I completely trust them with my hair and they always know what's on trend and what will suit me most (which saves me umming and ahhing about what to get)!! Thanks team!

Excellent colourist but mixed bag with support staff

It’s a real mixed bag. I had a beautiful experience at the patch test. Good experience being welcomed at the Marylebone salon. I think my colourist Dean has been very skilled, very pleasant and did overall a great job. However, … my hair feels so thin, which I noticed when I got home. A lot thinner than when I get home from full head of highlights from other salons. Whilst Dean was brilliant, the support staff are average. My rough blow dry post highlights was really extremely simple and very quick. I understand we’re not going to do an elaborate blow dry but even other salons include something a little more. The head massage was short and below average, the support staff washing my hair pulled in quite few places. The support staff also congregate around reception and kind of “hang out“ there.

So overall for the price of £290 for full head of highlights, I feel it’s a mixed bag.

Horrible service and staff

Horrible service and staff. This salon does not cater to all ethnicities either. Staff make you feel incredibly uncomfortable especially the receptionists. You feel unwelcomed. The technicians are not worth the price either. My blonde highlights have gone brassy in less than 2 weeks and paid just over £160 ! For just a T section. Horrific all around.

Hair Gods!

Had the most amazing colour and cut by Sophia and Katie! Truly made my jaw drop to the floor. Having been a blonde for 5 years and after hopping from one hairdresser to the next I think i have finally found my forever hair heroes!

Such a great salon with a very welcoming culture! Can't wait to go back x

Disappointing haircut with Katie…

Had a disappointing haircut with Katie Jane, I asked for long layers but got short layers and the overall length is shorter than I wanted (and asked for). I didn't feel listened to and the blowdry was not good either, she put too much of the Social Life for your Hair product into my hair and it just looked awful. It's just as well I will never go back and she was telling me that she was wanting to move to LA so could be leaving soon.

My favourite hair salon

I've been going to Larry King salons for about 4 years now and I regularly see Sophia at Notting Hill and Luci Green at South Kensington for my colour and they both do the most incredible job and I see Issey Cook for my hair cuts. Love both salons, such a cool vibe and the team are so lovely and friendly.

Divine cut and colour, luxury salon.

Fabulous luxury salon, I was made to feel pampered as soon as I walked through the door. My hair is divine, colour and cut, highly recommend. (Amazing hair care range too).

My beautiful long hair has been…

My beautiful long hair has been absolutely destroyed by luci green colourist at Larry king. I am devastated that a very simple full head of highlights has left my hair fried to the point I am now facing having to have hair longer than my chest all cut off. I have breakage, banding and my hair is so damaged so badly it snaps off when any tension is applied to it. Please take my advice and do not visit this hairdresser. I have had no apology from the salon for categorically ruining my hair and am in the process of considering legal action for what she has done to me.
