I’ve been a customer of BIBA for 10 years, longer than any other hairdresser in my very long life. The quality if the cut is superb and consistently so. The salon gives the impression of being laid-back and easy- going while paying attention to detail and a providing a level of customer intimacy that is unusual in such a central location. And the music is great too.

I have very straight hair that is fine and I am a wash and go type of person. Mark knows how to cut my hair so it keeps its shape. He recommended an excellent shampoo and conditioner for my fine hair. Even though we no longer live in London I still make the trip to get my hair done here.

Best hairdressers in town .Sue has been perming, cutting , colouring and bleaching my hair magnificently since she very first opened shop, back when we BOTH had curly perms . Both our cuts have since evolved :o) She cut my 80 year old mother's hair so beautifully that my dad fell in love with her again - my mum, that is . Great place, friendly, lovely people - go there !

I’ve been going to bibas on and off for over a decade, since my grey hair kicked in I’ve made it a bit more regular. My last visit in March wasn’t great - but I thought I would give it one last chance, and I am thrilled that I did.
Ieva is one of the junior haircut stylists and colourists, she greeted me warmly and took a genuine interest in my hair and how I felt about it.
Her professionalism and skill set shone through coupled with her calm and caring personality.

I went in for a regrowth basic colour and 2 inch trim - l came out with half my hair cut off and the haircut/style of a summer goddess!!!

Ieva took the time to listen to me and encouraged me to be brave and try something new without pressuring me or
up-selling.
I am the most basic person you’ll meet but my hair is my security shield and Ieva respected that and took amazing care of it.
She spent extra time with me and answered all my questions, nothing was too much trouble.

She’s an absolute asset to Bibas and I’m so happy to have finally found the perfect stylist for me and my hair.
