Saco reviews
I have been going to Saco now for the past year and have found the salon to be very professional with a modern and relaxed atmosphere. Jamie is my colourist and he is by far the best I have found.
He has an excellent understanding of what the client wants and the technical skills to match.
His technique, as well as his ability to understand what I want, are what keep me going back to him for fabulous colour. I highly recommend him!
I changed salons when Jamie moved to Saco. He is quite simply the best colourist I have ever had. He has managed to understand the exact shade of brunette I wanted, where everyone else failed. I now have my hair cut by Ana and she is fantastic too.
by katemahon, 06 May 2008I discovered Saco by accident when looking for a salon to rescue my disasterous cut and colour from another salon not a million miles away in Covent Garden. Leila is a complete gem, very professional and both a talented cutter and colourist. I wouldn't go anywhere else now.
However, I agree they need to step up a bit with the refreshments. Mind you, bad coffee vs a bad hair cut is really a no-brainer!
You'd be hard pressed to find a stylist who passionately concentrates more on her craft than Leila. Been getting my hair cut with her a lot longer than Saco has been around and she never fails to give me an A-class cut. Good stuff!
by STE, 01 Apr 2008Saco is a fabulous, stylish salon. They make you feel relaxed and you immediately know you're in good hands. My colour was amazing and just what I wanted. I'm definitely going back again.
by Karla_NZ, 28 Mar 2008I visited on the 20% discount offer from urbanpath.
Good points: the salon is very stylish, clean and well thought out in terms of layout, space and design. Both my colour and cut were super - much care and attention was given, they listened to what I wanted, were friendly and the end result was brilliant.
Bad points: when staying for 3 hours I expect to be offered a good choice of refreshments. I asked for a latte but was told their coffee machine was no more. Instead I got a horrible lukewarm filter cofffee. If a customer asks for something you can't offer, with a coffee shop on the doorstep I would expect you to offer to get it! The only other element that would prevent me returning: the price. Even with the hefty discount, my cut and colour came to £155. This is just ridiculous! I loved my visit, but without a discount this is far, far too expensive. With hardly any other customers there, I think Saco would do well to seriously review their price list.
Ane is amazing for both cut and colour. She also makes you feel so happy and relaxed. Worth every penny. Every time I go somewhere cheaper I regret it and always end up coming back to her. Very highly recommended.
by Rachel F, 12 Feb 2008Just back with an amazing haircut and colour once again. A great experience every visit. The team are always friendly, and truly talented. An absolute gem of a salon, I cannot recommend it highly enough.
by judge, 30 Nov 2007Always a good experience when I come here. Smart, friendly and, most of all, good at what they do! Leila's a star - she always takes your ideas and works them into a manageable and great cut. Highly recommended.
by Jaxx, 18 Sep 2007After years of trying to find someone who could actually colour my hair the way I wanted it, I have finally found that somoene. I felt relaxed as soon as I walked into the salon. I don't normally like male hairdressers, but after seeing the results of the highlights I would recommend the salon to anyone. A must.
by honeys, 06 Aug 2007I had a great experience here. Really friendly salon. Had my hair cut and coloured by Layla and she was lovely - friendly and competent, I immediately knew I was in good hands. I left feeling amazing. Although I live abroad I will definitely go back to Saco whenever I'm in London.
by Paupau (2 reviews), 03 Aug 2007AWFUL experience! Came in with thick long hair that needed 'body'. Half head highlights were non-existent and didn't even match up with my ends. As for the cut, my hair was layered (and pulled until I had tears in my eyes and a sore scalp from the pain), and then half dried with a diffuser for 'body' (which obviously just lasted the day). He said: "We won't bother drying it all"! So I left with half a wet head and a style that resembled an 80s throwback. Then the cherry on the cake - £230! Left in tears. Another amateur 'trendy' salon. NOT RECOMMENDED. Will be going down the road.
by karmakat, 31 Jul 2007I was extremely pleased with the service I received at Saco. The consultation was thorough and I am delighted with my haircut. I will be going back.
by uogara, 30 Jun 2007Far and above the best hairdressers I have been to. Everyone is genuinely lovely and my stylist Ane was fantastic. My embarrasingly bad condition hair came out looking the best it has in ages. Strongly recommended.
by kathryn, 22 Jun 2007Great salon! I had my hair cut by Ane and she was awesome. All the staff there are really nice and I walked out feeling like my hair was looking at its best.
by firegal, 25 May 2007The salon is modern and peaceful, service is excellent, the hairdressers know exactly what they are doing. I have dry, frizzy big hair and they made it manageable. It's not even expensive! Best hairdresser I've been to.
by toni90, 22 Apr 2007Excellent haircut, would highly recommend. Well designed salon too.
by vickyo1 (3 reviews), 04 Apr 2007Excellent results and very professional. What a relief to finally find a salon that not only provides the very best no matter who you are, but also takes the time to inform you and give you a result that suits your lifestyle and your face. My highlights and hair cut are perfect; I've never had so many compliments about my hair. Highly recommended.
by Anonymous, 15 Feb 2007I had the best experience at this salon. The girl who tinted my hair was so informative and she got the color perfect. It didn't fade and was exactly what I asked for. The surroundings are also tres chic and the products smell delicious!
by charlielondon (7 reviews), 08 Jan 2007Rescued my hair from a very bad cut. Very professional from beginning to end.
