Had a great experience with Elliot…

Had a great experience with Elliot today. A great cut and blow dry after not having been to a salon for a while. Elliot listened to my concerns and delivered a great cut that I’m very happy with. Thank you!

Better than smoke in my ears

Always a pleasure to have my hair styled by the lovely Katie Bailey. She tells it what to do and it complies every time.
I travel an hour from the leafy suburbs to get the Larry King experience. Of course, I could get my local barber to run clippers over my head, apply a boiling flannel to my face and stick lit matches in my ears for a fraction of the cost, but for some reason I keep making the trip to Notting Hill.
Nice people to do hair business with and I've never left with smoking ears.

Thank you so much for this brilliant review Jules!
You've perfectly captured what we're all about: great hair delivered by people who genuinely care about getting it right. Katie is an absolute star and we're so glad she's become your go-to, even with an hour's trip to reach us! We can't wait to welcome you back to Notting Hill for your next visit.

Larry King Hair Salon is another level…

Larry King Hair Salon is another level of customer service. Jasmin at the front desk always has a smile and goes out of her way to be helpful. Phoenix does a magic hair massage when doing a wash. I would pay to just have a hair treatment to get her hair massage! I have found no one else in London that can do curly hair cut and blow out like Lucy. Jay is fantastic with color and Vicky rocks the hair extensions. Bobby and Loui do amazing blow outs as well. Clearly have been going for a while and the team is stellar here

This was my 3rd time at the salon

This was my 3rd time at the salon. It has, again, been an amazing experience.

The staff was very friendly and I was very happy with the results. I went for a blowdry and styling.

I had my second haircut with Louis at the South Ken location this week — and he is truly an artist, as I told him “two for two” with great haircuts. I love love love Larry King salon and will probably keep coming as long as I keep traveling back to London!!!

Excellent colour and haircut

Excellent colour and haircut. Best haircut since i can remember by Scott - he is gifted and truly listens to what you are looking for. Highlights by paul are the best I have had. Incredible team. Booking team are top - they book my appointments from abroad.

Good hair cut , service could be better

The hair cut was nice, however I get it life can be repetitive and tough at times. I just felt the hairdresser wasn’t really engaging , the blow dry brush kept hitting my face and at one point her nail poked my cheek and didn’t apologise or seem to acknowledge it happened.
We did have a few conversations etc, but when I asked how much a product was and she just told me to go and ask reception.
It was my first time at the salon and my birthday treat to myself, so when you pay at a high price point you expect the service to be at a standard and sadly on this occasion it wasn’t quite met.

Visit Vicky regularly for hair extensions. Yesterday Vicky suggested slightly different color and really really love the result. Not forgetting to add the whole session was fun and relaxed. Thanks
