Revived and refurbished

I feel revived and refurbished after a lovely morning with Sue and team. Eyebrows and eyelashes sorted by Angela who is very skilful and friendly. Then Yeva repeated the highly successful colouring that she first identified for me earlier in the summer. Last but not least, I had a new hairstyle with Sue, who listens carefully and cuts with great precision. Thank you all.

I first came to Bibas Hair & Beauty to correct a disastrous do-it-yourself colour situation, and I have always left feeling fabulous. In fact, everyone I encounter there leaves looking fabulous. Sue, and Leva (who did my highlights) are both great, and the atmosphere is as relaxed as it is professional. It's hard to find somewhere this good and this unpretentious – so hard that I travel from Cambridge especially! My first visit..... it was 25 years ago now. Even in Covid-times, it is still a pleasure.

What a joy to be treated to a really professional haircut after all these months of lockdown. And in such a friendly and relaxed atmosphere... Unrushed, plenty of space and the salon immaculately maintained and laid out so you didn't have to worry about bumping into anyone else. I appreciated the care and attention to detail, and will happily put my trust in Sue again! Feel like a million dollars!

Lovely salon, first class haircut, a stylist who doesn’t rush and takes the time to listen and understand what you actually want (all the more difficult with face coverings getting in the way). Very pleased with the whole experience and outcome. I hadn’t been here before so don’t know what atmosphere is usually like but under the current circumstances this was as good as staff could possibly make it.

First cut after lockdown so as my very short feather cut had got really long (but managed to retain its shape, signs of a great haircut), I decided to go for something different and have gone back to a bob.
I wouldn't go anywhere else, Sue is excellent, all the team are friendly and they play great background music.

Sue has been cutting my hair for over 10 years now. Sue is an exceptionally talented hairdresser, who always takes the time to listen to what her client wants.
I have frizz prone/curly wavy hair, which in other hairdressers hands, I have left salons in tears. This is never the case in Bibas.
Sue always cuts my hair beautifully and brings my wavy hair to life again. Besides Sue’s professional talents, she is genuinely one of the loveliest, kindest people I have ever met.
My 14 year old daughter has also started having her long wavy hair cut by Sue, and she loves Sue too.

I've been getting my hair cut by Mark for years - and now he cuts my son's and husband's hair too, while Sue does my daughter's! We went as a family to get the mess of our hair post lockdown sorted out this week. Excellent cuts as ever - and so nice to be back in that friendly environment. Mark, Sue and team have done a great job of making the place safe - chairs are distanced, staff are wearing visors, everything's immaculately clean. But I was so pleased to find that it still felt relaxed to be there. Really glad we made the trip back into Bloomsbury!

I walk in with a dark cloud hanging over me and I leave with the sunshine beaming over my head. She's done an amazing job on my hair as always over the years that I have been frequenting the salon and long may she continue to do so, today's visit is no exception. Well done Sue, please keep up the good work and will hopefully be back at Christmas.
