Review of ESHK Hair

Best salon in London! 
Having lived in central London for 6 years, I have tried numerous salons in Soho, Covent Garden, the City, even travelling half an hour by train to further parts of the city (Putney!) in an attempt to find the 'perfect' salon.
Well, the search is finally over. Meg and the rest of the team at ESHK Hair gave me exactly what I have been looking for all these years - a perfect haircut, gorgeous colour, and a relaxed & groovy salon environment. All at an affordable price.
Meg, who cut my hair, actually took on board all of my demanding hair issues: she understood that I needed a cut to work with my naturally wavy hair, that I hate spending hours with the blow dryer, and that I wanted a cut that was stylish and modern, but I didn't want to look like a fashion victim. Unlike many of the other salons I have been to, she didn't impose her own ideas on my hair, but still had enough vision to transform my vague descriptions into a cut that was exactly what I was hoping for.
About a day after having a cut and colour at ESHK, I came to the conclusion that I actually wanted my highlights a bit lighter (this was my own decision, not the fact that they hadn't followed my instructions the first time). I rang up the salon and they happily had me back to put in a couple of lighter pieces - all for free and without giving me any guilt at all. They actually said that they would rather have their customers come back to fix any issues, so that they ultimately leave the salon happy. That is what I call service.
Having been to the salon twice in as many days, I saw lots of people having all sorts of cuts/colour - guys, gals, trendy, traditional. It was nice to see a salon where the stylists apparently give the customers what they want - that shouldn't be such a difficult concept, but ESHK is the only salon I have found in London where they actually deliver!
As others have commented, the salon is friendly and funky, with AMAZING music - they should bottle that too and sell it alongside the Bumble & Bumble products on offer.
I have had loads of compliments on my hair since visiting ESHK. I will go back again and again. I hope this is useful for people looking for a great hairdresser!
