Stuart Phillips reviews
Had a fantastic experience at Stuart Phillips today. Tristan gave my hair a complete restyle, which was great. Everybody was really friendly and helpful. Looking forward to my next visit.

I went to Stuart Phillips after having the same hairdresser for many years and fancied a change of style and colour. Christina coloured my hair and Tara cut it. They were both very attentive and listened to what I wanted and I was delighted with the results. I have had many comments since having my hair done and I will definitely be returning on a regular basis.

After trying one salon after the other, I have finally found a salon that I left feeling awesome! Tara is brilliant. She understood exactly what I wanted and delivered. I even got some great tips on maintaining my style. Love it and will definitely be back!

I went to Stuart Phillips after researching hairdressers on-line and in 'I ♥ My Hair'. I booked in for colour with Christina (£130). I stated my main criteria as being "I want to have blonde hair that looks gorgeous and fashionable". She spent quality time consulting with me and I was impressed with her concern over maintaining the condition of my hair.
I left the salon with beautiful, natural-looking blonde hair - it looks amazing!! Even now, almost a month later, I am still admiring the shades and overall look. Christina clearly understands colour and how to blend the highlights to create a beautiful effect in conjunction with the client's eyes and skin tone.
My trim was booked with Tara (top stylist, £47). She was equally brilliant. She took all my ends off and I have no idea how she did it but my fine hair has that long, full, chunky look I love but rarely get! Plus she gave me great haircare and styling tips.
Christina and Tara clearly have a passion for their work and enjoy the reward of doing a good job. The juniors were very sweet - they brought me lots of drinks and magazines and gave me a wonderful head massage!
Thanks to the whole team at Stuart Phillips. I will definitely be back!!

Have been to many top salons, some good, some full of bullshit.
Tristan at Stuart Phillips has got it right. He understands hair and the person underneath it, plus he knows how to cut. Now my wife uses him, and she's extremely fussy. We won't be looking any further.

First time at Stuart Phillips. Impressed with the courtesy with which I was received at the reception. Nevertheless, I was left waiting about 15 mins after the scheduled appointment time before I was seen to, without an apology. But who cares, because Ellie cut my hair and 3 weeks later it still feels like silk. Also the cut is amazing - just the right length and style. Wow. And Ellie herself was really friendly and down-to-earth. With the discount it cost just over £40 and was totally worth it. I'm hooked.

Very impressive men's styling. I got an appointment with Stuart himself and he gave an expert consultation before a great cut. I've tried other top hairdressers in London but he has been the best. Very friendly and warm staff as well, which makes a difference these days.

For the last 35 years I've always had my hair cut at the barbers and paid just £10. However, for my birthday this year my wife treated me to a haircut in a top London salon. Strangely enough, I wasn't that enthusiastic about going as I was pretty happy with my £10 cut, reason being you're in and out fairly quickly and I felt the cut was okay... also, £95 for a haircut I felt was a bit too steep.
What made this experience interesting was the stylist spoke to me about my hair for around 20 minutes (that is normally the time it takes me to walk to my barbers, have it cut and walk back to work). He taught me things about my own hair that I didn't even know. The next bit was good - I got to lay back to have my hair washed and massaged. Then he spent what seemed about an hour to cut my hair.
I have to admit, the result is the BEST haircut I've ever had.
The golden question is, do I go back and spend £95 again on my hair? In this salon they don't rush you out, they actually care about you. The staff seem generally happy and certainly friendly. You get a nice head massage and a great haircut. And on top of that, my wife wants me to return... Who am I to argue?!

This is the best salon I have ever been to! Sorry guys, you're stuck with me for life!
On my first visit, Stuart spoke to me about my lifestyle, skin tone, face shape etc. in order to determine my perfect hairstyle. And boy, did he get it right! I was going from a medium to short length and it has been done so wrong in the past. But this never happens with Stuart, he knows exactly what looks right for every individual.
I also have Caron Ann doing my colour. She is so warm and friendly and there is nothing this woman doesn't know about colour. She is amazing and completely transformed my hair.
In a nutshell, if you want a brilliant atmosphere, great staff who know what they are doing, and to come out feeling transformed, then go to Stuart Phillips. You will not be disappointed.

I got my hair cut here on Saturday and am really pleased with it. The atmosphere was good - friendly and with music playing (but not so loud that you couldn't hear yourself think). Not terribly chatty, but then I was very quiet as I was nervous (as always). Tara convinced me not get my hair cut short (thank goodness!) and seemed to know exactly what to do to my hair in terms of layers, etc, whilst keeping the length. The cut is great and the blow dry was amazing - it was the best styled hair I've had from a salon. And only £40 with the discount!

Just moved over from Australia and I was looking for a new stylist, read all reviews on urbanpath and chose Stuart Phillips. Had my appointment with a stylist called Tania, she greeted me and we spoke about cuts that would suit me as I wanted a radical change, she had some great advice.
Left feeling great and it has been so easy to manage and everyone has complemented me on it, found my new stylist. Thanks Tania.

What a gem. I have tried many salons and stylists, but Tristan at Stuart Phillips just gets it. In addition, the salon is welcoming and unpretentious and the service impeccable. Well worth the 5 stars. What's not to like?

Tristan Eves, the hairdresser off 'Make Me a Supermodel', cutting my hair - too good to be true? Well it happened at Stuart Phillips. I am a bloke with not a great deal of hair but he did a great job and made me walk out feeling amazing. Thanks Tristan.

Sorry to change the flow of stars here, but I must say that I had no more than a mediocre experience at Stuart Phillips. Drawn to this salon by all the stars in the previous results, I made an appointment to visit last week. However the result is not satisfactory. Where before I went to the salon I could literally walk out the door every morning not having to do anything about my hair (which I specifically mentioned) I now have to blowdry it every morning. Also, it is cut much shorter than I wanted. The hairdresser didn't really listen to me but just started cutting the way she thought best. I will most certainly not go back.

I've been going to Sharon at Stuart Phillips for three years now and, simply put, she is the best stylist I've ever had. She consults you at every stage of the process and is spot on in her recommendations about what will/won't work for you. Technically she is astonishing, with an eye for detail that ensures you walk out of the salon looking and feeling fantastic. After years of bad and inconsistent experiences with stylists and salons, finding Sharon has been a godsend. I would recommend her to anyone!

Last week I visited Stuart Phillips and was very impressed with both the service and my stylist. Sharon is a great stylist, professional with a very unique approach to hairdressing. She considers all aspects of your lifestyle and whether what you want will suit you or not. Her philosophy, she says, is to give her clients a look that they can manage at home and that looks good without having to do too much to their hair. Where has she been all my life? My hair is great and I feel years younger. I'd recommend the salon to anyone who needs a boost!

5 star rating. Times ten. First, I was greeted and dealt with in impeccable style by a polite, professional and friendly blonde Irish lady on reception. Then Christina tactfully suggested the BEST colour for me - initially I wasn't sure but her experience shone through and she proved to be 100% RIGHT! (We also had a lovely chat - thanks Christina.) Finally, Tristan for a cut, assisted in blow dry by trainee and expert scalp masseuse Kayleigh. The best stylist experience and results I've ever seen. Top team work. I look and feel 10 years younger and will be heading back. Thanks Stuart Phillips!

Caron Ann has been cutting and colouring my hair for 10 years now. It's a fantastic salon with a great atmosphere and undeniably professional team. After having made the mistake of going to other salons I can honestly say I would now not let anyone else cut nor colour my hair anymore. Stuart Phillips has become an addiction! Thank you Caron Ann for many many years of knowing exactly how I like my hair done and letting me sit back and relax while you work your magic.

I have been going to Stuart for about 15 years, and would never go anywhere else if I could help it. He gave me the most wonderful haircut from the start (I have very difficult hair)and has never failed me. Since he's had his own salon it's even better - it's such a friendly place and no one is made to feel old or ugly but rather deserving only the best. As I tell him, he is my last luxury and it will take more of a crunch to stop me going to him.

I would like to add to the glowing comments thus far! I have been looking for a good stylist to cut my mixture of curly/wavy hair. Stuart turned out to be perfect and a true professional. He spent at least 40 minutes just on consultation, as I was going from long length to short length. He gave excellent advice about the type of hair cut that would suit my face. And his services didn't end as you left the door - he called me up a week later to check on my hair and if I was comfortable and happy with it. As I wanted my fringe slightly shorter, he booked me in again (at no extra cost). I would say money well spent and excellent service. Very friendly staff.
