Had the best experience

Had the best experience. Larry is lovely and humble as always, have known him for a long time and was great to get a cut and blow dry from him. Really appreciate it. Was so good to see Elsie who gave me a great massage and wash. Love you guys and have to say I am so happy for what you have built. All the staff are also very friendly and the Marylebone saloon is beautiful and gives a very lovely relaxed vibe. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much Larry.xx

Yikes

Yikes. Spent the extra to get something top-shelf for my engagement.

Tracey was the stylist. I explained what I wanted and when I mentioned "a fade" the stylist said she had no idea how to do that, saying some people at the branch do, but not her, but she would try. She spent the whole appointment snipping little bits off and stepping back and constantly checking, taking her glasses on and off. Embarrassing.
Bad cut, no ability to fade or really do anything with mens hair. Expected far far far more for the price. Could have gotten better for a fraction.

If stylists are not comfortable or competent to do mens hair, they should not be bookable during selection.

Giving people a snack and a drink when they arrive only goes so far.

All five stars go to Elliot

All five stars go to Elliot! ⭐️ I’m 47, and honestly, this was the FIRST time I’ve ever walked out of a salon absolutely loving my blow-dry!

Elliot listened to me from the start and then completely blew me away. This may sound over the top, but I’ve always ended up tying my hair back after leaving a salon because I’ve never really felt that the blow-dry suited me. I seem to get the same default style every time — those boho-type waves — but my hair always ends up flat on my head.

I knew in my head of what I wanted, and Elliot somehow knew exactly what I meant. He went beyond what I had imagined and absolutely nailed it. I was genuinely thrilled — understatement of the year!

And Dean was pretty great too with my highlights! 😂 He was excellent, and can have the 5 stars too, and between the two of them, I left the salon extremely happy.
Thank you both xx

Amazing service and staff

I’ve had my hair cut for years by Issey and she never misses. Wouldn’t get my hair cut by anyone else, she’s amazing. Always attentive and remembers how I like my hair.

The rest of the staff at Larry King are really friendly and welcoming, can’t rate the place higher enough. Despite the location being in South Ken, you couldn’t get a less snobby salon. Would recommend to all.

Embracing The Grey!

Sarah B has given me the confidence to embrace the grey at last, transitioning from a brunette which tended to morph into the orange side of chestnut when the mood took it! Her no nonsense advice, and consummate skill continue to be deeply reassuring at this fork in the road. Christina follows up with fantastic cuts to complete thoroughly relaxing, spoiling visits to Larry's stunning Marylebone salon, not forgetting the lovely Leila, Phoebe and May who are learning from the very, very best!

Thank you Sarah. This 5 star review is amazing and we are so pleased that you are confident and so pleased with your hair.

Sarah is truly one of a kind when it comes to grey blending and her techniques used. Along with Christina's effortlessly chic cutting, you have been in very safe hands.

We cannot wait to see you again already at your next appointment!

The best experience I have had at a hairdressers.

Had a great cut with Sol at Larry King. The entire team were very friendly and welcoming with excellent service. It was first time at the salon and getting a cut with Sol. Described what I was thinking and Sol cut it perfectly. It was the best experience I have ever had at a hairdressers.

I’ve never left any company a second review…

I’ve never left any company a second review and LK deserves it! I’ve been seeing Louis now for 6 months and just had some colour done with Paul. Spot on first time, no questions asked and they had a better vision than I could even describe! So so happy and that’s why I keep coming back. A good salon is worth its weight in gold and this one is worth bags of it - I look good and feel presentable to human-kind each time. Much appreciated and see you again in 4 weeks!

Fantastic customer service from start to finish ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just had to leave a review after such a wonderful experience.

From the moment I walked through the door, I was made to feel genuinely welcome. Andreas greeted me with a warm handshake, and after I’d explained that I’d had a long, hot day, the team couldn’t have been more thoughtful. They cooled me down with refreshing towels, gave me an iced coffee and cookies, and immediately made me feel relaxed and looked after.

The hair wash was honestly the best I’ve ever had, complete with an incredibly relaxing head massage, followed by a beautiful blow-dry. I didn’t catch the name of the lovely young apprentice who looked after me at the basin, but she deserves a special mention. She was so kind, caring and attentive, and made me feel completely relaxed – a real credit to the salon. Every member of the team was friendly, professional and nothing felt too much trouble.

I left feeling completely revived and ready for my evening event. It was exactly what I needed after such a busy day.

The customer service was exceptional from start to finish, and I genuinely couldn’t fault a thing. I’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend Larry King Hair to anyone looking for not only great hair, but a truly outstanding salon experience.
