I have been having my roots and blow dry with Jessica since she started and she is truly amazing!!

My hair always looks so shiny and the colour so natural. As well as being talented, Jessica is a lovely to speak to and we always have a lot to talk about and laugh about 😀

Everyone who works at the salon is lovely, warm and friendly and always love being there, it’s a lovely experience and very relaxing.

This was my first haircut at Edward James London (Balham), and I am very pleased with it. I reccommend Hayley, she understood perfectly what I wanted and I left the salon completely satisfied. A special thanks to the young lady that gave me the massage, it was amazingly relaxing.

As your review is anonymous, we are unable to look into the costs so we can understand why the price increases every time you attend. We do have different levels of Stylists with different price points, so this may be why? We'd like to look into this for you as price transparency is very important for both our business and our guests.

Appointment verified by Shortcuts Software

This was my first ever time visiting Aveda in Balham. I’ve always been intrigued by the decor and thought I’d treat myself to a blowdry after a long week at work. I arrived to my appointment a little early and was greeted by the receptionist. She took my downstairs to my seat. 15 minutes into my appointment my stylist greeted me and said sorry she was running behind, which was fine, I get these things happen. I was taken to the back wash and was disappointed to not be asked for a head massage, this is one of the best parts! I had my blow dry and my stylist was sweet but kept mentioning the fact that my hair takes forever to dry as it held a lot of water. I have super thick hair! She was running behind on another client so I feel like she was trying to rush through my hair. She didn’t brush it out properly at the end and when I went to the bathroom my hair was still damp at the roots all under neath. I didn’t mention anything at the time because I felt bad but after being in the salon for nearly 2 hours, being dealt with by a director and paying a premium price I did expect a little bit more and was a bit disappointed by my whole experience.

Although my blow dry looked great something was not done properly as the waves were gone by the time I was home after 10 mins. Found myself with flatlish messy hair and no waves. Since I was due for an important movie award night I had to go somewhere else and get it redone. Total waste of my money and very disappointed by charging so much for this result. My hair are naturally wavy and every time I got a blow dry somewhere else stayed in place for days. This is the first time that it gets done so badly.

Great consultation before colour and scattered lights and cut. I am always very apprehensive about colour services however I felt confident Emily knew what she was doing and understands about colour and techniques for my grey at the front and roots. Had the signature Aveda massage to neck and shoulders with Aveda oil of my choice - nicely relaxing. Emily is a very caring thoughtful hair professional and all the staff and stylists are unpretentious which frankly is refreshing. The other great thing at the salon is that all the staff are genuinely nice and get on with each other and that is so good! Such a comfortable atmosphere. Had a further massage to my head at the sink before Botanic mask treatment from Nor which was very relaxing again. I am happy with the results of my colour and cut. I have to mention the bathroom at EJB - the salon bathroom is so spacious and comfortable and smells beautiful with Edward James signature scented candle burning in a lantern in the spotless and spacious bathroom ( many salon bathrooms are tiny cupboard esque ) so it is a pleasure to go to the loo here as well !
This is a busy salon with very good thorough hairdressers and Wonderful atmosphere.

I was really nervous to take the step and chop loads off my hair. The team were amazing. I arrived early and they let me sit down with a drink and my book. I had a lovely relaxation massage. Harriet was super helpful in giving me the confidence to go ahead and reassured me. She did a fabulous job and I love the new hair!

I had a great blow dry with Danielle. She was really friendly and asked me what kind of final look I was after. It was my first time at the salon and i will be back. The salon has a great aesthetic and the team seem quite friendly which was so reassuring.
