10500 Hair Salon London (Westbourne Grove)

Magda has been my stylist for nearly 6 years. My only gripe is that I can't take her back with me to Australia when I leave in June! Fabulous stylist, and prices are reasonable considering the high standard of cut and colour.

10500 is my new regular salon. We all know how daunting it can be finding a salon that understands our hair needs. I visited 10500 for my colour overhaul. I am very fussy about my hair and I wanted to know who was cutting it, how much experience they had, etc.

I have to say, the customer service is great. They offered me mint teas and smoothies instead of the regular coffee whilst I was having my colour done - a refreshing change.

The salon is buzzy and relaxed at the same time, and the staff and team were very well knitted together. This, seemingly, is the effect of a staff training academy they run at 10500 every Monday to inspire staff and keep them motivated to learn and become better at the techniques - techniques that punters like us rate and value so highly.

My only issue with 10500 is that I didn't find it when I arrived in London 6 years ago. Magda is a genius with curly hair. After years of hairdressers either not listening to what I wanted or not knowing how to do it, I have finally found salvation. Tonight I walked out of 10500 feeling fabulous again. If you have curls, look no further (and the straight cuts look good too).

The salon is buzzy and friendly, with most people having worked there for over a decade. It's totally unpretentious and funky. Anthony is welcoming, relaxed and quick to serve up a scrummy Coffee Plant coffee or lovely teas. And in the evening, little tipples are offered too. Perfect treat!

I've never been happier with my hair! After numerous break ups with clueless hairdressers, I'm so pleased to have found one that actually understands my hair type. Magda is amazing! I have consistently had the best cuts and colour from her over the past couple of years and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.

I went in for a change yesterday and decided to go for a new look with colour (a subtle dip-dyed effect). I've never tried it before, so was a little nervous walking in. Of course, I had absolutely no reason to be. Magda executed the style perfectly and it looks fantastic! She always takes the time to give me an amazing blow-dry and show me tips on how best to style it to suit the cut. Highly recommended! I don't know what I would do without her!!

I had more or less given up trying to find a stylist who could create a style I actually liked (I have very curly hair.) Well... this morning, after a chat with Darren, who was so totally friendly and helpful, I decided to come back at 3pm.

After nearly 2 hours I left 10500 on a complete high. For the first time in years I have a style that I really, REALLY love! All my grey has gone (I just can't pull off the George Clooney look!) and the cut is incredible. I look like a well preserved 39-year-old... instead of a tired 49! So, a brilliant colour AND a brilliant cut for 80 quid. Superb, eh?

The salon has a really cool vibe (the Japanese smoking garden is great for that sneaky ciggie!) and the team at 10500 are a really sweet and lovely group of people. 12 out of 10. I'm very seriously impressed!!

I just recently made a MASSIVE change to my hair. I cut it short after having long, lustrous hair for as long as I can remember. I am also extremely picky with my colour and, having such a drastic change made, you can imagine I wanted to be in safe and confident hands. Magda listened to exactly what I wanted and executed it perfectly. I LOVE IT!! Just how I imagined it to be. I highly recommend 10500 for professional and warm service and for any hair or beauty treatments you need.

I am very surprised by some of the reviews below as they seem so far from my experiences!

I have just started getting my hair cut with Anthony again after a few years out of the area, and it's like finding an old pair of shoes that fit really well.

I enjoy the whole experience, from being greeted by one of the very friendly staff to the excellent coffee and headwash with knee-trembling head massage.

As famous as the door next door!

Had a terrible experience there. Was left waiting for over 35 mins before someone even came to take my jacket. Didn't offer me a drink or anything. Waited another 15 mins and asked to see the manager. A guy called Anthony came over and was extremely rude. When I asked him if I could make an appointment for another time he swore at me and said I could do what I want. So I left and will never be going back there. Do not go to this salon and pay ridiculous prices for crap service.

A mind-blowing head massage and a Bloody Mary are just some of the nice added extras you get at 10500. I've been getting my hair coloured and cut by Darrin for years and he always does an incredible job. Without fail, I always get compliments on my hair after I leave the salon. All the stylists are really friendly, and you never know which Notting Hill celebrity you might end up getting your hair washed next to.

I had been going to 10500 for over a year when I finally got fed up with poor service, spending my whole day off in a salon and high prices. It is a shame because the salon has huge potential, but I am not prepared to sit there all day while my hairdresser cuts 2 or 3 people's hair in between doing mine and then charges high-end prices.

I was really nervous going to a new hairdresser after having the same one for over 7 years. I tried a few hairdressers who were OK, then I saw 10500 on urbanpath and thought I'd give it a go. I must admit, I am not one for 'blogging'; however, I feel like I just simply must share: I LOVE MY HAIR!! For the first time in ages! The colour was spot on - not too light, really vibrant - and the cut too, it just feels right. It's such a relief to have found a hairdresser (Danielle - she's a sweetheart) who just got it and got me. Have no doubts, just go go go!

I have been going to 10500 for the last two years having been introduced to one of their senior stylists, Magda, by a friend. Magda always makes me look and feel like a million dollars. Since first arriving in her chair I have surrendered my head to this woman who performs nothing short of a miracle each time. One thing I appreciate is that, while the salon is very 'on-trend', I will always walk out with a cut and colour that suits me rather than looking like a fashion victim. The rest of the team are very friendly and always make me feel welcome. I love the design of the store and they always play great music. I'm a particular fan of the lovely biscuits they serve with their coffee - they're so addictive!

I have been going regularly every 4 weeks for the last 2 years and I love 10500. Excellent service! Darrin (my wonderful stylist) is always on time. Haircuts and colours are always done to perfection. If you are thinking of having extensions, 10500 is the place. My hair looked so natural and people could not believe I had extensions! I recommended the place to a few friends and they love it too. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Well done to everybody at 10500!

Excellent service, can't wait to go back for a top-up. My stylist was Tiff, very professional, down to earth, warm, and very engaging. Definitely all you can ask for in a stylist. And for a junior, she is excellent - I think that her level of work is that of a stylist, with very good rates. Have recommended Tiff to 3 friends so far.

Great salon in West London. Never been loyal before but now I don't go anywhere else. Friendly staff and always leave with a perfect cut. I recommend Magda, she cut my hair from very long to very very short and I've never looked back!

by tahneelonsdale, 16 Dec 2009

The best salon in West London. Service is on point, with Bloody Mary given on a Saturday morning, friendly staff who look like they want to be at work, clients smiling. I had a junior, who was the best - made me feel really welcome and gave me the best haircut I've had in ages. Then had an wonderful head massage from the bubbliest girl, Sasha, whose hands were blessed! As if that's not enough, you also get free internet, coffee and a cheap bill. Please try this salon - it won't let you down.

Wasn't impressed by service or highlights. My male stylist made little attempt at conversation and provided a lacklustre cut. Felt rushed throughout - this is a real no frills salon.

I have been going to 10500 since Anthony Carenza opened his salon over 12 years ago. The team are fantastic, innovative, the atmosphere is wonderful and always a friendly place to arrive. Some places seem to go out of fashion but this one never does. The design of the salon is really out there and so different and exciting compared to the usual hair salons. All those extra facilities are a real bonus. More of a lifestyle salon than just hair. Well done Anthony and the team!

I have just moved back to London and was recommended to 10500 by my sister, who's been getting her hair done there for a while. I was very pleased with my highlights and got just what I asked for. As an added bonus, I was able to check my emails while waiting for my colour to develop. Overall, I was very pleased and would recommend Frankie for colour. Will certainly be returning in fututre to see her.

by Fox1234, 10 Sep 2009

Had my highlights done by Tiffany. She really takes her time and I have never had them so close to the roots. Definitely my new colourist and will be going back. Oh yeah, half price too. Bargain.
