Edward James London - Balham

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.

Excellent, always cares for what I need and knows curly hair!

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.

Hayley did a fantastic job on my colour . Someone who listened to what I wanted finally

Chris just knew exactly what I wanted! The colour is perfect and have received so many compliments- thank you so much!

Danielle is a true professional with attention to detail and a very friendly attitude! Thank you- love my style!

Emily is a fabulous stylist who not only does a brilliant job on my hair, but is also lovely company. Don’t hesitate to book with her!

Wouldn’t trust any other salon with my hair. Absolutely love Deren. He does an amazing job! 10/10

Jess is amazing! She’s so lovely to talk with and knows exactly how to advise me on my hair and how to manage my challenging baby hair bits! Always look forward to seeing her and LOVE the results after I have been! She is the Sicilian Queen of the blow dry!!

Ed and his fabulous team always bring the most wonderful atmosphere. From the smiles and efficiency as you enter to the relaxing massage you feel so special before anyone has even started on your hair. And I have ALWAYS been delighted with the results on leaving saloon, whether it’s cut or colour - they are a such talented bunch!! Highly recommend Ed James salons to anyone looking for a wonderful experience ❤️

Jessica is incredible. She’s so intuitive & and I trust her completely. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

Jessica has been dying my hair for a long time and she always delivers. Not only is she very professional and gives good advice for your hair, she is also very pedi able and friendly. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Jessica!

Friendly staff, multiple glasses of Prosecco and very happy with my colour and blow dry. What’s not to like?! I’d recommend to others and will be returning

Great appointment Danielle’s advice was always superb and I feel great with my new colour!

Fabulous colour and styling

Hayley was great, as always. Cuts my hair better than anyone else

Nice lady great cut

I loved Jesica’s blow dry- lots of volume exactly as I wanted! Also fantastic service and experience. I loved it and would recommend.

First time at Edward James Salon and the best salon i’ve been to in South london. Emily was very attentive and has very good cutting styling skills. She shaped my wavy lots of it fine hair and it looks beautiful and feels beautiful. A lively experience in this beautiful salon. Great customer service at front of house. Relaxing surroundings, gorgeous interior decor and ambience, music not too loud. blissful complimentary head and shoulder massage. I’m going back for colour next. I’m happy I found this salon.

Harriet is an amazingly talented hairdresser and lovely with it. Such a joy to go to the salon and see her.

I’ve been coming to the salon for a number of years ( I spend between £80 and £100 every 4 weeks so I would say I am a good and regular customer). Today for the first time, when the amount I was asked to pay what not what I was quoted on the phone, I was told putting my hair in rollers (which I have resorted to asking for as none of stylists know how to blow-dry in a way that wiil hold the curl) was going to cost £20 more. This wasn’t mentioned at the time and has never been charged. And there is nothing on the website to indicate that costs per stylist aren’t fixed and that their discretion they can raise the advertising and quoted price without asking the customer first, atrocious customer service which is a huge shame as I have always had very positive experiences with other staff. Amazing this is a manager also who clearly knows nothing about customer service.

I usually praise the saloon but this time I cannot. The stylist did her best but I had to wait sometime before she could help
I am busy and even 30 min delay disrupts my schedule. I have docs to prepare and deadlines. Everything was going on a slow motion for me
My usual stylist was not there and I asked for a stylist of the same level..
I ended up paying almost 20 £ more for hair which did not turn up at the same level. Shame I was disappointed but more for the delay than the performance
I hate complaining and it might not be anybody fault but I was not happy

I recently had my highlights done with Jessica. It was my first appointment with Jessica and she was absolutely fabulous. She took the time to understand what I was looking for and advised me as to what would work best with my hair. I’m really pleased with the blonde achieved. Thanks Jessica!

Natalie is fabulous. Full of knowledge beyond the expectation! Done perfect job
Highly recommended
All staff are so friendly and greeting costumers from start to finish

I am a regular here and after trying other salons have come back. Will not go anywhere else now. Emily is a talented hair stylist and a lovely woman. Had a really relaxing and fun time. The atmosphere in the salon is friendly and relaxed and the customer service excellent. There’s a drinks menu ffs. Highly recommended.

Brilliant

This salon is amazing - the whole experience from start was lovely.

Fabulous

Great as always! Hayley’s the only hairdresser I trust with my hair, she’s fab :)

Hayley did a gorgeous balayage colour - and advised me to have more scattered at the back ( and she was totally right) . Hayley asked lots of questions re what I wanted to make sure she was clear on the goal Danielle then did the most sensational Hollywood blow dry thanks both love it

Perfect blow dry
Discret but helpful

Have officially fallen in love with my hair again. I visited the salon today knowing exactly what I wanted my hair to look like. Edward listened and recommended, the results are exactly what I wanted! The service from all staff was brilliant, super attentive and smiley! You have gained a new regular, already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you Edward and the team

Love Ed and Ed’s salon! 5* service

Lovely haircut with Danielle, friendly service and really listened to what I wanted. Beautiful cut and styling.

Fabulous stylist- I had the best balayage. Very professional and friendly attitude, can’t wait to come back!

As always, Jessica provided an excellent blow dry - she is delightful!

I had a lovely keratin treatment at Edward James in Balham done but a team who are experts in what they do and knew what was best for my hair. I love the results!

I’ve been coming to see Ed for about 7 years now. He’s the best hairdresser I’ve ever had. Gets colour and cuts hair beautifully. Worth every penny.

From the moment I walked in the door it was a wonderful experience and I was delighted with my haircut. I can’t wait to come back!

I’ve been coming to see Natalie for years & have always had fabulous haircuts. I often receive compliments about my cut even 8 weeks later so the style lasts for ages. Natalie is a superb stylist as well as being a lovely person. Always a treat seeing her.

Edward stayed late on a Friday night despite having finished for the day to squeeze in my daughter’s blow dry. We were late (completely our bad), but the salon went the extra mile and then some to make our booking work. EXTREMELY KIND!
He is the loveliest (& funniest) man as well as being incredibly talented and giving one of the best blow drys I’ve ever seen!

As usual brilliant treatment and terrific hair do.

Jessica was amazing she did everything right I'm so happy with my hair I love it!! Special mention to Harrison he was great!

I have been a client of Emily’s for over a year now and she is incredible! She is always spot on with translating what I want into reality. This time we went for a bold vibrant colour change from dark brown to copper and it’s honestly incredible! Thank you so much Emily!!!!

Always a wonderful experience! Great cut and excellent service.

Wouldn’t go anywhere else. So pleased with my cut and colour as I always am. Harriet as lovely as always and the other salon staff friendly and attentive. Great overall experience.

A really great cut and blow dry - no more headaches from my heavy hair. I always look forward to my visits to Edward James. Thank you

This was my first time coming to this salon and it won’t be my last! I had a cut and colour and OH MY GOD, unbelievable. I never thought my hair could feel like this again! It was like straw, and now it swishes like a beautiful mane! The colour is also perfect - I was brunette and balayaged it blonde, and I wanted to go back to my natural brunette roots. The match is amazing! And it still has tone and definition. Plus the whole atmosphere is lovely - really relaxed, gorgeous interior, lovely massage, lovely people! Couldn’t recommend more :)

Always good service
