The Belsize Park salon closed & I found myself visiting the camden branch. Was very happy with the service & my colour. I knew I was in good hands. The only drawback is the lighting in the salon. Some parts are very dark, & even the light parts are very artificial. There is very little natural light. Considering it’s a salon- I would have expected better lighting.

She really catered my cut to my face & style & was all around amazing :) so much so that a lady came in outside to have her hair done because of what she saw through the window. Very pleased :)

Mike was my stylist. He understood what I was asking for and knew exactly how to approach my type of hair. Mike cut it with a perfectionist attention to detail in a timely manner. There’s usually something about a haircut that I’m never quite satisfied with, but Mike delivered a perfect cut this evening—genuinely flawless. I will go out of my way to get my haircut by Mike again.

She made sure to talk me through her steps which really reassured me and keep asking for my hair preferences which, as a curly hair girl I really appreciated and made me have trust in her even more. My beautiful curly bob is absolutely amazing thanks to Izzy! I love you and I’m definitely coming back!
