Why Clients
Love Me

I always have a wonderful experience with Simon! He cut and colored my hair days before my wedding and it looked absolutely perfect. I’m always so happy with my haircut – Simon really takes the time to understand what I’m asking for, knows what will suit me, and checks in throughout the cut to make sure I’m happy […]

Valerie Pinkerton
Simon has been cutting my hair for years. He’s the best. Always takes time to talk over the cut and agree on what we’re doing. Also very honest with what is possible and not possible/what won’t look good with my type of hair, which I really appreciate.

Adele Simor
Best hair magician in London! I have always left with the best cut and colour as Simon really gets what you’re after.

Lena Gunnarsson
Simon is the colour king and it’s never a ‘one size fits all’ or ‘same again’ approach even if you’ve been seeing him for a while. his considerate approach in a relaxed environment means it’s always a great experience having your hair done with Simon.

Miranda Cochrane
I had a fabulous experience with Simon! He really took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted, while also offering his own expert advice. I left with a gorgeous cut and feeling incredibly happy and confident. I can’t recommend him enough and I’ll definitely be returning in the future. Thanks, Simon!

Sarah M.
His colour skills are fantastic and consistently brilliant. He keeps notes on every visit so he’s always across what we’ve done previously and it’s so nice to know that I can sit back, relax, trust the process and leave with a look I know I’ll love.

Katie Jackson
Simon has been doing my hair for years, he is the best! The colour, cut and style are always perfect. The new salon location is very peaceful and relaxing – plus really nice coffee!!

Lucy Mair
I’ve trusted no one else with my hair for what must be more than five years now, always a friendly face in a beautiful environment that leaves you feeling calm and looking gorgeous

Dan Govan
Simon is always honest about what is achievable, what is practical and thinks along with you. When I had my baby he helped me look my best with pp hair loss; for my wedding he ensured my colour looked incredible for photos and he will always make sure he sources products that suit your desired hair outcomes.

Carolina Van Den Berg
Simon is brilliant at what he does – every single time he’s given me a cut I just love. A total pro… plus fantastic interior design tips on request! If you book with Simon, you won’t be disappointed.
