Above expectations
This place seems to manage to straddle being a local hairdressers where people know each other, and being a suburban snippers where they haven't got a clue about the latest looks.
The colour and cuts that I've had there over the years easily rival in quality a lot of those I've received from big name salons in the West End.
The decor is quirky which gives the place a sense of individuality that is reflected in the people who work there. Obviously what you get depends on who you get - I like Curtis - but for a local hairdressers, I think it's a good bet.
If they're busy, you might find yourself waiting a little while, but there tend to be enough mags to keep you occupied and, the calming fragrance of the aforementioned Aveda products mean it's not too much of a hardship.

As expected
This Clapham hairdresser is perennially busy, and as a result suffers from conveyor-belt syndrome. Most of the staff are competent and friendly (I recommend Emma) though you'll often feel like they're trying to rush you out the door - expect your hairdresser's time to be divided between a couple of clients. Nice Aveda products make it worth the reasonable prices. Little Willies, the sister shop nearby, specialises in children's cuts
