John Frieda Hair Salon London (Mayfair)

Couldn't disagree more. Sitera and Joel have saved my hair. It looks wonderful now and I get loads of comments on it (good ones). If you see them, you can't go wrong.

I agree with the last two reviews. I visited quite a while ago and never went back!

Heard a lot about the place, went there and was really disappointed. I left with much worse colour and haircut than what I'd come in with, and all of that for a ridiculous price.

Had whole head foil highlights. Very disappointed with outcome. Colour was better before. Told stylist that I wanted layered cut as was not happy with current blunt cut. He chose to give me exactly the same cut with a slight razoring at the back, which has left a gap at the end of one side of the head of my very fine hair that I did not notice until I tried to style it myself. He was only interested in talking about how wonderful he was. Neither the colourist or the stylist LISTENED TO WHAT I ASKED FOR. Will never go back. Very expensive and really not worth a penny. Lots of preening stylists, both male and female.

Had my hair done in the past couple of weeks by Paul. Very happy with it - it sits really nicely even when I do it myself, and my hair isn't the easiest to manage at the best of times. It's nice to get someone who really listens to what you want. Thanks Paul.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Sandra when you had your hair coloured, but I had my blonde hair done by Sandra last week and it was amazing - the girl is the best colourist in the business! I have been to some of the best and Sandra comes up top. I could not fault her. So if anyone is reading this and looking for great colour, then Sandra is your lady.

An amazing salon, by far the best in London! The cut was great, the ambience was good and the salon made me feel a million dollars. Ask to have your hair washed by the Indian boy (I think his name is Jazz) - he does the most incredible head massage! They charge for drinks but the menu has some tempting food dishes.

I had my hair coloured by Sandra and it was an utter disaster. After assuring me that she understood what I wanted, she coloured my roots a DARKER shade so the rest of my light blonde locks looked ridiculous with even darker roots. To add insult to injury she then put bleach blonde highlights over the dark tint which made me look as though I had zebra stripes on each side of my head. It wasn't until the dye was all washed off that I saw the mess she had made. The woman clearly has no idea how to deal with blonde hair. Even the receptionist was appalled and called over the manager. After another gruelling 3 hours my hair was coloured an all-over block tint, that then began breaking off within a fortnight. Avoid at all costs!

I was in serious need of a good hair cut and can only confirm all the positive reviews posted about the John Frieda salon in Mayfair. Joel did a brilliant job and I have really 'difficult' hair. The service was first-rate and very friendly. If you are looking for a makeover or simply a cut that holds and is easy to maintain, don't look any further - just ask for Joel.

I'm so surprised to see so many good reviews! Myself and a colleague have both had awful service at this place. The cut was mediocre and cost the best part of £90! Awful, awful, awful.

I've been a model for cut, colour and blowdry at the John Frieda salon in Mayfair. Cameron was brilliant, friendly and very professional. Am very satisfied - she brought my hair back to life.

I had my second hair cut with Joel at the Mayfair salon and can honestly say that my hair has never been cut and styled better.
He is fantastic - really got my personality right. Thank you Joel.

I just joined UrbanPath's newsletter and was surprised (or not) to see John Frieda listed. I've been going to the salon for 20 years. As another reviewer mentioned, always good to see the same faces. Simply the best hair salon I've experienced in the UK or USA. So professional, inviting, and yet relaxed. The hair products only get better and better. Kudos to all the very skilled stylists (and juniors), particularly Darren. I end up feeling on top of the world when I depart JF and it far exceeds my expectations every time.

Nadia knows exactly how to cut my hair perfectly, and not only that she actually can blow dry hair so that you really don't want to change it when you walk out of the door. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Wow! I just had my hair cut by Andreas, the German guy. I had a very fixed idea about what I wanted, but we had a consultation and he suggested styles I never even considered for myself. I ended up leaving the salon with something completely different than I had envisaged when walking in there, but feeling a million dollars! I will so go back. That Andreas is worth his weight in gold.

Like the previous reviewer, I have been going to Lesley for over 12 years and find her receptive, good company and an excellent stylist (it is a regular event that I'm stopped in the street or in a shop to ask who cuts my hair) but I was always too nervous to have it coloured. Finally, I did and the results are amazing (ask for Bena) - natural, not too yellow and she wove 3 different colours to make my hair have 'depth'.

by monix, 03 Apr 2009

I've been going to the Mayfair salon since 1990. I find it reassuring to see the same faces still there after all these years and love seeing the juniors progress to stylists. Lesley has been cutting my hair for longer than I care to remember and I cannot recommend her too highly.

Have had great haircuts and blow-drys there. I particularly recommend Paul. Was VERY disappointed, however, by the colourist - hideous highlights which did not look natural at all and did not 'age' very well (very visible roots after only a few weeks). But definitely go for a haircut or blow-dry!

by Fantomette, 14 Nov 2008

Nadia is absolutely brilliant for curly hair, especially if you let her do what she wants. I wouldn't trust anybody else with my locks and I always get a lot of comments on my haircut. Really, she's one of a kind.

The way they colour, everyone looks like a 45-year-old Stepford wife!
