Good hair cut , service could be better

The hair cut was nice, however I get it life can be repetitive and tough at times. I just felt the hairdresser wasn’t really engaging , the blow dry brush kept hitting my face and at one point her nail poked my cheek and didn’t apologise or seem to acknowledge it happened.
We did have a few conversations etc, but when I asked how much a product was and she just told me to go and ask reception.
It was my first time at the salon and my birthday treat to myself, so when you pay at a high price point you expect the service to be at a standard and sadly on this occasion it wasn’t quite met.

Visit Vicky regularly for hair extensions. Yesterday Vicky suggested slightly different color and really really love the result. Not forgetting to add the whole session was fun and relaxed. Thanks

I can 100% recommend Sarah Bower in Marylebone she has literally transformed my hair. She is highly skilled and professional and most of all such a lovely genuine person. I come out feeling so good. I willingly travel from S Wales to see her, however I would also trust any of the staff with my hair if she wasn’t available. Well worth every penny ✔️

Excellent cuts and great experience

I continue to receive an excellent service in Larry King. I see Bobby, who is superb and lovely to chat to. I also saw Izzy for a treatment today and she was fab. Best salon I’ve been to, and I’ve been to some high end ones. Relaxed environment with a cool feel.

Disappointed

I booked a grey blending "consultation" with Sarah at the Marylebone salon as I'd seen her work on Instagram. The support staff were lovely, but the colourist was brusque and dismissive and the consultation lasted all of 5 minutes. To be fair, I was 5 minutes late due to delays on the tube, but it did take another 5 minutes for her to join me. No attempt was made to make me feel comfortable or heard, I was simply shut down when I tried to open up the conversation.

My third visit to Larry King and…

My third visit to Larry King and another great experience.

Lucy has cut my hair twice now and she’s brilliant. She has such a calm, grounded presence and somehow always understands exactly what I mean, even when I can only describe the feeling I’m after rather than a specific haircut.

I completely trust her judgement and taste. Today’s cut and styling were perfect, and I left feeling refreshed, confident and very happy.

The whole team is friendly, welcoming and professional, and the atmosphere is always lovely.

Thank you, Lucy – you’re incredibly talented and a pleasure to see every time. Highly recommend.

My hairdresser of choice

I have complete trust in Lilli to do my hair - have been going to her for several years now. Everyone in the salon is very professional, it’s always a nice experience.

Back for my cut and colour this time

Back for my cut and colour this time. As usual, Scott gave me a perfect cut, and I had Jay as my colorist—Jay has extraordinary talent. I left looking 10 years younger and perfectly natural- Jay is very attentive to your wishes and incredibly kind. I'm so lucky to have Scott and Jay as my stylists! 👌🏼😎 Thanks Guys ! And all the team obviously are Amazing !!!

Fabulous Experience

I would follow Sarah wherever she goes, the colour she creates for me is just what I wish for!
And Christina, who cut my hair for the first time, removed all potential stress (I always worry about having my hair cut) and made me laugh, whilst giving me a perfectly styled cut.
Thank you both!

Great Colour, Beautiful Salon

I had such a lovely experience with Martha today at Larry King in Marylebone. She’s been my go-to for colour for several years now, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair. She always knows exactly what will work and gives advice I completely rely on.
It’s never just a hair appointment, it’s always a fun few hours catching up with a genuinely wonderful young woman.
It was great to see her in her new home at Larry King. The salon itself is beautiful and stylish, but refreshingly without any airs and graces, which suits me perfectly.
Already looking forward to my next visit!

A fabulous self-care experience at Marylebone!

Visited Marylebone salon for a cut and blow-dry with Frankie. Great experience from start to finish. Wonderful staff and a lovely vibe in the salon and Frankie really knows her craft! She was very quickly able to assess the straggly mop in need of serious TLC and provided a finish worthy of a front cover!!! Classy, chic and just what I needed. More than a haircut, it’s a self-care experience!! ❤️
