ESHK Hair Hairdressers. London

I had a very horrible experience in this salon

I called to book for a cut and the receptionist automatically booked me with 1 hairstylist hat is supposed to be one of the senior stylists with a decade of experienc.

Well. I went in the salon and the cut and styling took around 1.5 hr(1 hr only for cut). She went through consultation,I showed her pictures and we talked a lot about.  I left the salon ok. Arriving home I checked better the cut and I noticed the length was just on the shoulder and my hair were flipping up,then there was a bulky/choppy look.

I called again the salon and only then discovered that since the stylist are working as self employed I had to see her to get my hair cut fixed.

I went again in the salon and talked to vienn ensuring with her that she wouldn't touch my hair and cut more if she wasn't feeling confident and able to fix my cut. She convinced me and after another 1hr of cutting I got the same bulky/choppy look but shorter.

When I asked her explanation she blamed my hair. When I showed her my pictures with the same haircut, hair texture, straightening and mix of straightening and natural roots. She still blamed my hair. a professional should refuse jobs that aren't for him. She had control and possibility to choose to don't accept my request.  60£ are nothing compared to a work she shouldn't take.

I am sorry I didn't realise before that the reviews mentioning vienn were made from people with 1/3 reviews . So as far as I know they can be friends or may be lucky consumers.

There is no way a professional blames results on the constumer.  The professional has the control of the results.

It is not fair to tell it isn't possible to achieve a result, just recognise when we can't personally do something and referr to someone else .

I am extremely disappointed because people that know nothing about hair are keep asking me "what happened to my hair? Where did I make it and how much I paid for it? Advising me to get them fixed" .

I am extremely upset, disappointed and sad of the experience and of trusting the salon . For what I do understand you don't do references check,check portfolio or check the skills of the hairdresser working in your salons. She may have tell she has years of experience but my hair look a bad self made cut. I neved had 1 hr cut looking so terrible.  My very well made cuts used to take 10 min. Review the skills of the stylist before to allow people to book with them.

Such an unprofessional salon

I came for a balayage + haircut without knowing what I exactly wanted. As a picky person who had bad experience with haircuts, I was a little scared of getting a whole new hairstyle. Still, I went for it, got really good advice from my hairdresser.

He did wonders with my damaged hair and managed to change my style keeping my long hair !

Would definitely recommend this for someone wanting a change because the price is a little high for people not used to London.

(PS - you get free coffee and head massage)

Dos hairdressers are inconsistent!

First time hair was ok but then the other four times was a mess. To get a good hair cut there is like a lottery.

Very desalinated!!!!

Been wanting to change my hairstyle for a while now and after being recommended by a friend I called the salon.

I explained on the phone that i wanted a change but was unsure of what to do, they happily booked me to come in for a consultation with one of their stylist, free of charge!

Having a consultation really eased my mind and made me feel very comfortable. The whole salon has a uber trendy feel but without being pretentious. Everyone is very relaxed and chatty. I felt very welcome.

I got loads of tips and ideas from my stylist and we decided on a hairstyle and color together!

They even care enough about you to make a "skin test" to make sure you wont have any allergic reaction to the colors they use.

No other salon I've been to has ever bothered to do that.

I came back a few days later for my actual appointment and coming back to the salon I was instantly greeted with recognition and smiles from all the staff Id seen in the salon the previous time.

I had "Californian highlights" witch looks so good, natural and just like Ive been a sunny holiday!

The cut is also lovely with soft layers and sweeping fringe that my stylist recommended me to have, I was nervous at first but Im so happy I listened to their advice as its without a doubt the best cut and color Ive ever had.

Thank you ESHK team!

The service, creativity, quality, and caring at Eshk Hair Salon is over the top. The atmosphere of the salon is wonderful ... and I love my haircuts! Thank you Manu

I've NEVER written a review before, but I'm infuriated.

Zoltan completely ignored what I requested and gave me a bowl cut. I went back in to get my cut fixed, stating I was unable to style it, and was made to feel stupid.

£36 down the drain, and I’ve also had to pay another hairdresser to fix it, which only took about 5 minutes but was told by Zoltan is an “impossible” job. It seems he was trying to prove a point and would not accept any criticism, at my expense and time.

Completely disappointed.

FYI - I’ve had my hair cut by the senior stylist and she’s fantastic. Attentive and talented. All the other stylists and staff seem lovely too.

Getting my highlights done at Goswell eshk. I arrived asking questions about the techniques she would use and the overall effect. I mentioned that I liked what my previous colorist had done (but he is too expensive) . Se became visibly frustrated by my questions and this comment and subsequently told me that I can go back to my previous colorist if I didn't trust her and if I liked his work so much. I have never been spoken to like this et and after a long work week this Saturday appt was meant to be a treat but I now feel unwelcome and unimportant as a client. Very disappointed and will not be returning.

I've been going to the salon for quite long and i've always been satisfied.

The staff is always very nice, receptionists are friendly and the place is clean.

Unfortunately one day i found out my spanish stylist left. But i'm super happy now because Marta is back.

She's very professional with all the suggestions about my style, great cut and color every time.

I definitely recommend the salon.

I've been coming to ESHK for about a year now after downsizing from Sassoon. I've had my hair cut by pretty much all the stylists and have been relatively satisfied up until my most recent visit, where I was booked in with Zoltan (a supposedly senior stylist). He offered no greeting or introduction, no consultation or recommendations (isn't that the whole point of offering a "premium" service?) and he kept leaving for several minutes at a time without giving an explanation. At no point did he attempt to make a conversation with me and I was quite offended at not being treated like a person. When he was done with the cut he simplt walked away without saying goodbye or anything. Avoid at all cost - There are much better salons around at the same price level.

I have been to Eshk for quite a while, I used to go the Hoxton one but now I live in Barbican I tried the one on Goswell Road. I had Sebastian the senior Stylist and what a great cut. The guy takes his time and I felt very comfortable. So happy with my cut happy to manage and I feel good I had to share!
