I've been with my long-time hairdresser, Ian, for 18 years, and couldn't be happier for him - and me! - with the move to The Lion & The Fox last year. I love the look and location of the salon - so different from everywhere else, and all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Ian is totally brilliant and always does a superb job with my hair. As a very happy and satisfied client, I highly recommend this salon. It's first-class.
I've been getting my hair cut by the marvellous Ian Florey for almost 15 years now. He took me from an uninspiring shoulder-length bob, through many and various styles of shorter and cropped hair. I trust him implicitly and he knows that, if he ever asks what style I'd fancy, I always say that I don't mind and he can do whatever he likes (with one of exception that I cannot write in a review!) I have moved with Ian over the years from previous salons, and it was a breath of fresh air to go to The Lion and the Fox for the first time. It's not like any salon I've been to before and, for some reason I can't put my finger on, the ambience in the waiting area reminds me of my younger years in Paris. Come to think of it, maybe it's because I spent a lot of time hanging around in artists' studios - that might be it! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and seems genuinely pleased to see you. I look forward to my visits enormously, and the buzz I feel stepping out with a new hair style.
The Lion & The Fox manages to find that special balance between being very comfortable, friendly and laid back, whilst also being very buzzy, professional and super high quality. A shining beacon of good vibes and real talent!
