"Full hair colour low light cut treatment - full works! I don't normally bother to leave reviews but these people really looked after me well and my colourist/stylist Ms"
"THE BEST place in London"
"I did not have a great experience with the stylist nicholas"
I entered the salon with long, healthy hair and left with with damaged, broken hair and an uneven cut. The service started badly and got progressively worse. The application of my highlights was harsh and rushed.. When it was time for the bleach to be washed out, there was no available sink. My stylist pulled the foils out of my hair and vigorously scrubbed the bleach out with a towel. Eventually, a sink was available to wash out the top section of my hair. Because my hair had been rubbed so much with the towel, my hair was incredibly tangled. Getting the knots out was so painful that I had to put my hands to my head to stop her. The amount of hair that was pulled out of that brush was perhaps most upsetting of all - there was so much of my hair pulled out of that brush, it was as if you hadn't cleaned out your hairbrush in months and months. That was when I asked to brush my own hair and I wish I had done that sooner. Finally, it was time for the cut and I was so relieved. However, there was another client waiting and I got the impression that my hairdresser had been told to hurry. There was no precision, inches just snipped away and any further knots caught in the comb were just cut off! My hair has been completely ruined. I have attached photos for anyone thinking of visiting Shadi salon to see the hair breakage and awful cut and I hope this will help someone avoid making the same mistake that I did.
I travel to London frequently and more than not have my hair cut here. I have been to many of the recommended establishments from the local to the high end. By accident I came across Shadi one morning as he was opening his new salon. I thought, "What do I have to lose-- let's give him a try." And boy, am I glad I did. Shadi is the consummate professional and an extremely talented stylist/barber. He worked for over a year at one of the high end shops and own his own shop in Kuwait . . . this is one talented man. He cares for his client every step of the way-- from the cut which he meticulously does to the hot towels, the massage . . . simply amazing. And he wants to be sure you leave pleased and will do everything in his power to be sure you do. You can pay a lot more but will never get the attention and service that Shadi offers. I am extremely particular about my haircuts and can say Shadi is the best-- in London and anything I have had in the US. I liked the cut and experience so much I texted my partner and told him to get over here and get a cut now from this guy. He did and was never happier with the cut, the shave, and the experience. If you have any doubts, throw them aside and get to Shadi Salon. You will be extremely pleased you did-- and I'd even give you a refund if you weren't pleased. Ok that is generous but you know what I mean-- he is a pro. *****
Full hair colour low light cut treatment - full works! I don't normally bother to leave reviews but these people really looked after me well and my colourist/stylist Ms.Ghaliya is a gem! Friendly, smiley, energetic but most importantly knows her trade and is a pro. I loved her ideas and what results she produced - I went in a blank canvass and she made her art! Special thank you to Mr.Shadi also - although we've not met, you kindly notified your staff to accommodate my particular situation of requiring privacy by screening whilst being worked on. VERY much appreciated that !! I know it must have been an odd request but your team rose to the occasion and challenge! Hope to meet you next time. Much appreciation to Ms Ghaliya for her skillful work.
THE BEST place in London. Oh my goodness, for 13 years I have been trying to get a decent nice blonde colour ( every time, and I mean every time I go I have left every salon with yellow hair OR after two days, brassy and yellow hair. I have paying a fortune to FOUR salon, Gielly Green to name a few and Steph who did my hair at Shadi simply is the best and know how to get that right cool blonde hair colour, I have never been so happy before and it wasn't even expensive! My only fear is that she will leave London because if so, I will need to travel to wherever she is to do my hair. She really is the best when it comes to blondes, thank you so so much Steph and see you in January. And thanks Shadi for such an amazing salon. Steph x
I did not have a great experience with the stylist nicholas. He messed up my hair pretty badly to the point where I was crying in the salon. However, Shadi was really understanding and invited me back to fix it. He has since compensated me by giving me a chance to come back whenever I need for a treatment. I am sadly still out of pocket a £600 as I still had to pay for my hair to be fixed at another salon but Shadi is very sorry for my treatment here and apologised for my experience. Just to let other customers know they do not have a refund policy so make sure you spend time with your stylist talking through what you want to achieve! I have attached photos of what my hair looked like when I left Shadi's salon yesterday.
What a wonderful salon and amazing staff. My hair is super-fine and has been falling out due to stress. My roots and colour were looking awful and my confidence was suffering. My usual colourist is away for some time, and I was frightened to go to a new salon. I couldn't believe how kind and understanding the staff were at Shadi Salon. Dimo did my colour: he was so patient and took time to understand what I like, and very gentle with my hair. The results are just lovely and I am so, so pleased. I met and talked with Shadi who was also incredibly understanding. I can't speak highly enough of the salon and will definitely be going back to Dimo for my colour. Five stars-plus. Thank you.
I had my toner done with Dimo and the final look is perfection! He was a great listener and very thorough when explaining how to get the desired outcome. He was also very gentle when working with my hair which is nice (been to a lot of salons that move quick at the expense of your comfort e.g. getting water all over you in the sink, combing hair too aggressively, not applying toner properly so you end up with patchy color but that was not the case with Dimo). I’m so happy with the end outcome and looking forward to my next visit - thank you again Dimo
I have gone to get a hair cut plus style for 55 pounds. It looked all fine as it was blow dried first time. After few days when I straightened it, the layers on my hair were not blend and it was very bad layers which was different lengths. I went back to get a refund which i was refused about several times. Very unhappy customer and deffo do not recommend them for that price to get hair ruined! Their response towards my complain was not to shout although I was not and their response was not showing any understanding towards their mistake or my feelings!
I had full head highlights, cut and blowdry from Dimo. He is a magician. I had been attempting at home highlights and colour over lockdown and had very stripy colour as a result. Dimo corrected the highlights and tone. He was very charming and didn't make me feel bad about the state of my hair when I came in . The cut and blowdry were also brilliant. With a few simple snips he managed to maintain my hair length but remove the weight of what had felt like a dated style. I felt like a new person emerging from the salon a fre hours later! Thanks Dimo!
I got my hair done at Shadi Salon recently and I love the result! I asked for a warm tone full head balayage and its exactly what I wanted. My hair was previously dyed dark brown and its usually really hard to achieve a lighter colour with a dark base but they managed to get the exact colour that I wanted. They finished it off with a treatment, haircut and blow dry. My hair felt so fresh and healthy and the treatment they used lasted longer than i thought it would. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the service and the results.
I’ve been coming here for quite some time... they have delivered a professional, accommodating and precise service every time. If anything my haircuts look better every time I come. They are very well skilled and very precise with their skills and are also very friendly and professional. Finally the salon cleanliness is always on top and had NO issues returning after the reopening due to COVID. They do also wear for PPE for the COVID. Definitely recommend this place, precise and fantastic stylists at a GREAT VALUE!
I'm 38 and have always struggled with my hair, never knew what to do or how to style. Stumbled upon Shadi by mistake and decide to try it out. Now I travel into London every time to get my hair done. Shadi himself is absolutely amazing at what he does! You don't just get a hair cut, you get pampered and treated like a gentleman, from special hair treatments to noise hair waxing, which was a first for me but not the last! Cool guy, awesome place and excellent music. I double you'll find any place better.
Visited Shadi salon today - got lucky to get an appointment on the bank weekend! Had a glossing which made my hair smooth and bouncy, and a nice toner to get brassy tones out of my hair to make it nice and ashy again. Both treatment and colour were done perfectly and by wery friendly guys. Plus head massage - ooh la la! ;) They use amazing and rare hair products of Kevin Murphy. All in all - great place with joyful and relaxed atmosphere, professional and creative people working there. Thanks Ali!
I have been looking for a good hair salon for ages and tried this salon out for the first time (seeing it had the best rating). I had my haircut done by Lauren. She was kind, friendly and very professional. She talked me through my haircut and cut my hair exactly how i asked her to, to the length i wanted. I am not a fan of short hair BUT i love this haircut! Couldn't be happier. I am thankful to Lauren and would definitely recommend this salon. I am most certainly coming back!
I was a returning customer, however this time the cut is a disaster. When they blow dry you cannot see just how bad it is, but after washing it - no style, odd ends everywhere, no bounce and must be corrected. Contacted the salon for a correction- not only do not acknowledge the complaint but charging an additional £50. For that I will go to a different salon and risk have to have a much shorter cut because there is already little left to work with. Utterly disappointed!
Omgoshhh my hair looks and feels amazing. My sister and I found them while walking on a side street off of Regent street near Oxford Circus and decided to go in. They gave us same day appointments(four hours later but worth the wait). Love the cleanliness, vibe and products they use. Dimo is amazing I wish he was in the US! His technique is great and the bangs fit my face perfectly. He would be my only stylist if I lived here in London!
Amazing! My hairstylist was Stephania, I went to the salon for a radical change for me (I wanted to get a fringe for the first time). I showed her a couple of pictures and understood exactly what I wanted. The haircut was perfectly executed and I really love it. She was also very nice and the hair wash was very relaxing. Also, I was impressed by the low price, considering the location, quality and professionalism. I completely recommend it!!
Lovely salon with amazing hairdressers! I had the pleasure of getting my haircut by Lauren, who really looked at my hair and took in what I wanted. She did a wonderful job! I’ve lived in London for 5 years now and I’ve struggled to find a good hairdresser that listens to me and cuts my hair so well - I’ve now found it! Also they are open till late which is great, I can get my haircut after work. Thank you Shadi salon for a lovely experience.
I had a bad experience on my first visit with Nicholas but after few days Shadi called me to return to the salon and see Asia. Wow!! It was a difference experience overall. What a lovely lady, she is super professional and experienced hair stylist. I felt very confident leaving my hair on her hands :) She did her magic and my hair looks much better now. Thanks once again Asia! Would definitely recommend you in the future!
I am happy with the haircut but I made a reservation at 18:30. They made me wait for almost half an hour, no drinks and no magazines offered, no heads-up over the delay and no explanation as how long I have to wait whatsoever. These are really the basics of decent customer service and apparently they don’t have. Hence I will give three stars until they improve their customer services
My friend spent £275 and received a poor haircut and a worse dye job. She had to spend even more money getting it fixed at another salon and Shadi refused to give her a refund or even a discount. From seeing what they did to her hair and how much she paid I wouldn't go to this place or recommend it to anyone else. You can find pictures of what they did to her hair in her review.
Just out of the salon and couldn’t be more happier with my hairdresser, Asiya Took a chance after my regular salon had permanently closed, went online and saw Shadi Salon had great reviews so booked an appointment. They were all so accommodating and kind. Not only was Asiya quick, the results were impeccable, and she made for great conversation! Really great work, thank you.
I popped in one Sunday afternoon in September to cut my hair. After trying numerous hair salons around the world while travelling, I can honestly say that Shadi Salon is one of the most positive experiences. Very professional technically, and exellent service. I will definitely come back on my next visit to London. Strongest recommendations! Kind regards, Johan from Norway
I really enjoyed my visit to Shadi Salon, my hairdresser was called Lauren and I can’t recommend her enough! Super professional and offered a great consultation at the start and gave me lots of tips and tricks for looking after my hair. I rarely ever go to the same hairdresser but I booked my next visit straight away. Definitely recommend, plus the location is ideal...!
I was warmly welcomed by the lovely Maurizio. He sat down and took the time to listen to what I wanted and the result was PERFECT! Highlights and a curly blowdry. Maurizio is super friendly and very good at his job. The complimentary drinks are also a bonus. The other staff (I didn't get their names) were also incredibly friendly. I can't wait to return!
I absolutely love this salon. I’ve been 4+ times over the last year and have loved how my hair has turned out every time. Mateusz is amazing for blonde highlights – very professional, does exactly what I like (and suggests new options when relevant) and does everything possible to make sure my hair stays healthy. Would definitely recommend this salon.
Dimo, really listens to the client and tries the best to satisfy the client with what look he or she is looking for . Today I got my first proper haircut done . And I couldn’t be happier . Dimo did a great job and honesty I’m so gonna be his regular customer. If you read this Dimo, thank you sweetie you are a star . I love my new haircut
Amazing experience.... Shadi is a real professional at what he does. Gave him the freedom to choose a style for me and man i am surprised.... Takes his own time, constantly gets ya feed back to make sure your happy with the changes, new and elegant place finally good choice of music too.. will be definetly visiting again...
My hair was cut four inches shorter than what was told. My long beautiful hair is now super short which doesn't suit my face at all. :( Really surprised that this place has such good reviews, makes me wonder if they are fake reviews, as when I went to the salon I didn't need an appointment and it was empty the whole time!
My second time here - great atmosphere, incredibly friendly staff, spacious and clean, good music. Asia was fantastic - very friendly, high skilled, patient and professional. Such a sweet lady. I had balayage and the result is amazing, I got so many compliments! I will return and I will definitely recommend to my friends.
I booked through Treatwell for a restyle and it was the best decision! Very professional and passionate about their trade and clientele! Ask for Lauren, she is amazing because she will listen to you and understand what you are looking for to make you look and feel good about your hair! Thank you for a fantastic service :)
Absolutely loving my hair colour. Having an asian hair I had several fails at other salons previously to achieve the colour I wanted but Lauren was awesome. She is very friendly and knew exactly what to do. I am very pleased with the hair colour and will definately go back again. Thanks to Lauren. You are a star
It was my first time at Shadi’s saloon today, and I loved it! I have a stubborn curly hair that tends to get frizzy after styling it, and I asked Dimo for a wavy hairstyle. It was perfect! It’s not frizzy at all, and it looks like as if it’s my natural hair. Definitely would visit again!
in 9 years bleaching my hair it never happened to me that my hair would simply fall off after the bleach. And it happened here after only one brief visit. if u are blond, avoid it. now my hair looks so bad that the only solution is to cut it short. And I had a very long hair.
Friendly staff, fast appointment did not need to call and there was no waiting time, really fast but amazing cut. The guy who cutted my hair was really accurate and careful! Over all really good. Only minus was that you need to pay in cash because the card machine was broke.
My experience at Shadi Salon was exceptional! Dimo was really helpful, understood exactly what I wanted and made it happen! I am far than pleased with the result and definitely I would recommend the salon and specifically Dimo, as the service I received was excellent!!
Massive thanks to Dimo, I absolutely love my hair! Once we were done I was extremely happy with the outcome. My color, cut and overall look was great. I was so happy to see my hair look so great and fresh and I loved everything that was done. Will definitely come back!
I am a regular customer at Shadi Salon and I have always had an amazing experience here! Ali always has my hair looking perfect when I step out of the salon no matter how bad of a state my hair was in before. I couldn’t recommend this place and Ali enough.
Absolutely obsessed with everything about Shadi! The staff, the location, the venue and of course the amazing Dimo. Dimo is always so great with my hair and really knows how to make it look the absolute best for me. I cannot recommend this place enough !!!
Great place! I usually don’t do my hair at any place new and have to wait to go home for the holidays but ever since I found Shadi salon, it’s been my go-to. Last time I went, they did a great cut and blow dry. I Recommend to ask for Ali if you’re going.
Amazing, she knew exactly what i wanted and was so kind. As a hijabi she was really thoughtful and put up a screen for me and gave me loads of tips regarding my hair trype and maintenence. Loved the end results and definately will come back again. …
Shadisalon was absolutely immaculate! From the service, professionalism, cleanliness and very warm welcoming from all staff. I adore my hair very much thank you for the amazing service and attention to details. I would 100% recommend Shadi Salon.
Came for holiday in London, walked by this Salon and decided to stop for a haircut. I cut with barber and stylist Shadi and my haircut came out amazing. I would recommend this salon/barbershop to anyone in London. Great staff, excellent vibe.
Went in on a quiet Sunday. Shadi took great care of me and you can tell he is a perfectionist, loves what he does. Best of all, he provided good service and took effort to make sure I had a good experience. I highly recommend this salon!
I’ve gotten four haircuts with Asia at this shop and it’s been amazing every single time! I have very thick hair so have had terrible experiences in the past but Asia is amazing with the scissors! Totally recommend! Great salon!
I am traveling, from the US, and a haircut in London was on my “bucket list”. I’m so glad this shop had a stylist available when I popped in at 6pm. My curls are not easy to cut. Stefania did an excellent job and was delightful!
Always get a great service at Shadi salon, and with a warm welcome! I’ve been going here for many years and it’s the only place I trust with my hair! Matthew did an amazing job with my colour and haircut …
Hi everyone, very happy to recommend Shadi Salon. Very happy with the result, Shadi is very nice and extremely professional! Great price and quality in one of the most expensive area of London! Highly recommended.
Just 5 stars. Absolutely fantastic. I hate getting my hair done but Shadi is patient and listens. Got exactly the haircut I wanted and a deluxe experience to boot! Get in now before he starts up a waiting list!
This place is great! I came for a hair cut for an appointment I made by walking in earlier in the day. My stylist Mateusz did an amazing job! My hair felt so healthy and the cut made me feel like a new person.
A huge thank you to Shadi Salon for doing an amazing last minute job on my hair! My hairstylist was Stefania, she did an amazing job and I am so happy with results. I would 100% recommend using Shadi Salon
Excellent salon! I had a great experience here, staff is friendly and very professional. I had exactly the haircut I wanted and got taken care of greatly. Highly recommend, and will definitely go back.
Really really pleased with my weft extensions done by Ascia. She completely transformed my short, uneven choppy hair into long, thick healthy looking hair - I couldn’t be happier. Would recommend 100%
This is a fantastic salon - I always leave with the best looking hair and the service and staff are top notch. Thank you Dimo for superstar results!! Can’t recommend a better place for cut and color.
Excellent service and customer care. I’ve been going to Shadi Salon since it opened 5 years ago. The staff are very friendly and extremely accommodative. Their prices are also quite competitive.
Amazing experience with Asia from the Shadi Salon. I had opted for a complete restyle of hair and she did a tremendous job!! Very lovely and friendly environment too. Totally recommend …
Love this Salon and the warm, friendly staff and atmosphere. Matthew is an amazing stylist, colourist and will work to your needs for what you want to transform your hair. Highly recommend! ✨
What a pleasant visit at the salon, everyone was super nice. But especially thanks for Mateusz for my amazing new hairstyle and bringing my hair back to life!!!! Definitely recommend!
Really pleasant experience with 2 lovely people, Ali and Shadi who gave me a great welcome and a stylish cut. Loved the hot towel treatment. Now my favourite London hairdresser.
I am 100% happy with the balayage and cut I received from Mateusz. Im looking forward to my next visit. Thank you so much Mateusz. My hair and I are so glad we hair found you!
Amazing! I had Rajaa do my nails and I think it was the best manicure ive ever had! really spent her time making sure cuticles were perfect! great find, will be back. Sabina
Highly recommend Ali for a blow dry! Always leave the salon with shiny hair and a a great beach wave / loose curls look. Also, great customer service. Thank you Ali! :)
Mateusz always does a great job with cutting and colouring my hair as well as giving ideas on what to do. It's the only haircut I've had which is worth travelling for.
Lovely experience. Beautiful salon & great haircut & blowdry by Mateuse - he really made it a lovely experience and I’m so pleased with my cut & finish. Thank you!! X
Fantastic service at Shadi Salon. I had a great haircut and extremely professional and friendly care from all the staff. I’ve found my new salon. See you in a month!
I got my hair cut by Deman today and I loved the experience! He is great! I felt well taken care off and listened to. I left the saloon feeling confident:) Thanks!!
Amazing service as always. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. My barber does a fantastic job with my hair, the best hair cut in London ! Bravo guys !

Absolutely wonderful haircut. Feel I can face anything even COVID. Stefania is professional,polite and welcoming and did miracles on my hair. Thank you!
Mateusz is the best, he literally transforms my hair every time! I have been going to Shadhi for the last four years and don’t think I will ever stop.
It is a very good salon worthy of my expectations. I was very pleased with my highlights. The staff are kind. Dimosthenis is an excellent hairdresser.
Best hair cut I've ever had, total satisfaction! Reasonable price, friendly staff and 10/10 customer service. I'll definitely be back …
Asia did a fantastic job of my daughter’s hair this afternoon. Really friendly and professional. Highly recommend this salon and Asia!
Fantastic job. It has been really hard to find a hairdresser that can cut and thin out really thick hair as well as it was done here.
Been going to Shadi for over 4 years now. Never disappoints! Shadi is great for gents cuts and is always consistent. Deffo recommend
Mateusz was amazing, he understood what I wanted but also made some changes to make sure my haircut would complement my features ❤️
I’ve had the best experience!! People compliment my colour and cut !! I’ll definitely going back !! Thank you so much !!
Walked in after work for a fringe trim and Matteusz was great! In and out with my hair feeling brand-new in 5 minutes!
Very good experience and I loved it so much, my hair turned out perfect and I would definitely visit again
Shadi is a fantastic guy who listens what you say, and understand what you want. I highly recommend!
Matthew is amazing and I love how friendly and good he is at his job! Definitely coming back :)
