Edward James London - Balham

Gitanna gave me a wonderful colour and cut as always, the colour is subtle and gorgeous and the cut and style afterwards was exactly what I wanted. My head massage was wonderfully relaxing and the guy that washed my hair was so careful and considerate. I have been going to Edward James Balham for a while and always delighted with the results.

I adore Jessica, so careful and always pleasant and considerate. Hair colour came out great. Other staff are also very kind and helpful! Only thing I would mention as negative, I feel that hair must be fully dry prior putting the round brush on, brushing semiwet hair with the brush results in breakage especially for bleached hair like mine and I noticed this happening in all my visits.

I only go to Danielle to colour my hair and she’s never let me down. This time last year I had jet black hair and we’ve managed to get it to a lovely golden blonde. Very happy :)

Emily is the best! Great colour and cut. Really friendly staff. I love coming here!

Thought I’d leave another review for highlights. I have been getting blonde foiliage done by Gitanna for 1.5 years now. I am never this faithful to somewhere/someone but she is the only consistent colourist in London I trust to get the blonde I want. It’s so hard to find somewhere and someone good. I have been pretty fussy over time - but she still even managed to make my colour perfect for my wedding day!!

Amazed by my toner result and overall experience with Carrie, she was so lovely and went over and above to make me look and feel beautiful.

I love this salon and always have a great experience - from the lovely coffee and biscuits and neck/ head massage before the wash and Blowdry to the warm friendly atmosphere of the place
The service is five star
All the staff are amazing
Edward cuts and colours my hair and I’m very happy with outcome
Blowdry with Jessica Derren or Gitana is super too
My sister also goes to the salon and Harriet does her colour and she is always very happy
Recommend 100%

I had a fantastic wash, treatment and blow dry from Chris. He understood exactly what I wanted and I loved the result!

Ed is a great hairdresser and a lovely person. He has also assembled a really nice team, so everything, from complimentary massage (wish it were longer!) and having my hair washed is a really enjoyable experience.

Each visit starts with a warm welcome. Chelsea always aims to take care of all comforts first. We take time to catch up as she treats my hair to all sorts of favours. Makes a great cup of coffee too!

Excellent

Always a great experience at Edward James salon. Friendly greetings, I always feel looked after, amazing head massage.

And Ed …is the “hair whisperer”! Intuitive, listens and highly skilled. Thanks Ed and EJ team. And see you again soon ?

Harriet always gets my colour just right.

Danielle was lovely, she really listened to what I style I was after and the hair it turned out perfect as did the blow dry. Will definitely be booking in with her again!

Hayley is a brilliant hairdresser with constructive advice around cut and colour. My hair always gets lots of positive comments after I’ve been to her.

Dsnnielle always takes time to listen at when hair cut you actually want. Always a lovely treat when getting my hair done.
