Long overdue haircut and restyle by Sean. He did a great job, listened to what sort of thing I was after and advised on the cut with my hair and on how best to look after it. Friendly atmosphere. Highly reccomended!

The hair cut I’ve had since going here has been spot on. I’ve never had a cut that looks so good from the get go but also grows out so well, which is rare with thicker hair. Plus an all round great vibe. Strongly recommend for a gents cut.

I luckily walked in a year ago to this salon after going into several ones around Hackney, and this was the best priced, actually, for what seems like the most amazing results I could hope for (twice) when trusting someone with a big hairstyle change, colouring my hair and cutting it. I think they have great, modern taste and it’s, on top of know-how, the most important thing. I’m usually not one to be able to afford fancy hairstyling, but this is worth every penny. I’ve literally have had compliments by hairdressers on the street for my colour. Staff is truly lovely too.

I am normally not the best at making regular appointments for my hair. I don't like to get my hair done when I feel sad in any way. Moose are great at accommodating this, they allowed me to cancel last minute on Friday night and even worked to fit me in the next morning! So extremely kind of them.

Johnny is great, super professional and gives a great head massage! I left very happy with my hair, and isn't that the main thing? The salon is the full of the nicest people I've come across in a hair salon in years - the only place I have been a repeat customer. No one here is stuffy, nor do they look down their nose at you. Just simply nice and energetic people, no judgement.

I am not much of a talker at the hairdressers, this is my only time to just sit and be looked after, I am a PA so my life is all about organising other peoples lives. Johnny got this and had a little bit of a chat here and there but was happy to leave me to the peace and relaxation; he was keen to make this the experience I want, not what is the expectation.

Johnny did a great job of my hair, a blunt cut that is so straight it could cut glass! He spent a great deal of time and care on making it perfect, as he always does.

10/10 for Johnny, Sean and the rest of the team at Moose for not only doing hair right, but also understanding that the customer sometimes just needs to sit in silence and be looked after.

The best salon in the area hands down - great service, everyone is super friendly, good vibes. Also, can't be more pleased with my hair as it is right now. I was undecided this time about what I wanted and I got very honest advice about what would suit me and the cut turned out great! I also tried the Olaplex treatment to help with my damaged hair and it now feels super silky, I would definitely recommend it.

I love Moose and I have been grooming my hair there for quite some time. Is not the typical ‘senior’ ‘stylist’ ‘technician’ rubbish you get in other salons. Every single person in here knows what it’s doing and bursts with personality. I always feel confident to book my hair with any of the hair specialist working in here however on my last visit, Nicole was an absolute winner, she coloured and cut my hair like a goddess and made me look sleek and stunning. 100% recommended.

First class service and cut. Alberto is a fantastic hairstylist who has been snapped up by the very lucky Moose. Throughout the haircut he made sure I was still happy with my dramatic cutting of a good few inches! He was extremely professional and made the right amount of small talk :) I will certainly be happy to let him cut my hair again! His wash and massage was.. just. phenomenal... the staff here always listen to your request but equally are happy to provide advise, as Alberto did in this instance, I love my hair :)
