Luca is Amazing!

I had a wonderful experience at this Notting Hill salon today! Even though I arrived late, the team were incredibly understanding and accommodating, which I really appreciated.
From the moment I walked in, everyone was so welcoming, attentive, and kind. The atmosphere was lovely, and the salon itself is in a beautiful location. Luca did an amazing job my hair wash and conditioner massage were so relaxing, and my blow dry turned out flawless. He really understood my hair and what worked best for me.What made it even more special was that it was Luca’s birthday, yet he still went above and beyond to make my experience feel so special.

I left feeling really happy and pampered highly recommend!

Great experience with Zoe, who cut my hair exactly how I wanted it, whilst handling my yapping at the same time. Go here if you want a good professional cut and a friendly experience.

Martha is incredible

Have been coming to the salon every month for 5 years and it's always an outstanding experience. Martha is incredible. The quality of her work is unmatched and she's such a kind of lovely person to speak to during the haircut. I've literally tried to find salons across the UK and world and found Martha's haircut to be the best. Value for money is 10/10 given the quality.

The Biggest Disappointment!!

Truly, this was the most disappointing hair cut I have experienced. For the price point, I was expecting so, so much more. I was in the chair for less than 25 minutes…
I do not expect to have to tell a professional hairdresser how to cut hair - the top of my hair was thinned only, and only after I expressed concern! I am writing this to you after visiting a barber on the way back to my hotel and begging them to fix this disaster! He could not believe the appalling work and was flabbergasted at the cost.
People should walk out of your salon feeling incredible - you didn’t let me do this. I am so embarrassed and disappointed. A waste of a visit and extreme waste of money.

Hi Steven,

At Larry King, we always strive to provide the highest possible standard of service. Larry has worked incredibly hard to build a business founded on care, attention to detail, and genuine respect for every client who chooses to visit us. While we do everything we can to ensure every experience reflects these values, we understand that occasionally things may not meet expectations.

That said, we were disappointed to read your review, particularly as we were not made aware of your concerns directly at the time. Whenever a client is unhappy, we would always prefer the opportunity to address the issue personally and resolve it as quickly as possible. Our team are always open to feedback and committed to finding solutions, and we would have welcomed the chance to put things right for you before the situation reached this point.

Client satisfaction is extremely important to us, and we take all feedback seriously. If you would be willing to contact us directly (comments@larryking.co.uk), we would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your experience further and see how we can help resolve the matter.

Lovely salon - but take photos

3 stars - 1 for head massage, 1 for friendly staff and 1 for the cut itself not being what I wanted, but being a good cut.

Really lovely salon, friendly staff and quick service. If I could do it again I would be more forthright in what I wanted and have inspiration pictures. Went in wanting at least 3-4 inches off and instead received a trim. Explained I exclusively wear my hair tucked behind my ears, was given face framing trim, which looks lovely, but as soon as I tuck it behind my ears all that work is lost. Sad as this was a special treat to myself, and I’m already looking for an alternative salon to get the length off

If you want to look like a movie star

If you want to look like a movie star, book yourself a 'ladies cut and blow dry" with Louis ! He is the number one celebrity choice. He is simply extraordinary, absolute genius !

Upsetting snobby place

Extremely disappointed. I used the salon for a long time, not for a colour as they haven't got any good colourist, colourist are rude and miserable, will make you feel so uncomfortable. I had a haircut and I paid £180 for a haircut which hardly has been touched. I will never ever come back to this.
P.S. hair extensions are not a human hair!

Hi,

We are very sorry to read that your recent experience left you feeling disappointed. At Larry King, we work extremely hard to maintain a welcoming, professional environment and to deliver a high standard of service to every client. It is therefore concerning to hear that you felt uncomfortable during your visit, as this is certainly not the experience we want anyone to have in our salons.

Many of our team members, including our colourists, are highly trained professionals who take great pride in their work and in the relationships they build with clients. While we respect that experiences can vary from person to person, we do take comments regarding our team and the salon environment seriously.

We were also disappointed to read your review without having had the opportunity to address your concerns directly. Whenever a client leaves unhappy, we would always prefer that they contact us first so we can look into the situation and, where possible, resolve the matter.

If you are open to it, please contact us directly (comments@larryking.co.uk) so we can review your appointment and discuss this with you properly.

I went to see Jake for a haircut the other day and I loved it. I never change barbers but when my current one closed down I found Larry King and I'm so glad I did.

The best salon experience

I have been going to the Larry King salons since they first opened and would recommend them in a heartbeat. Amy Fish has been colouring my hair for coming up 10 years and she really is incredible. She listens to what you ask for, whilst also giving suggestions that compliment it - which is something I really value. The team are highly experienced, the space is warm and welcoming, and I always feel so well looked after. It just feels like I’m coming to visit my friends! Making decisions with your hair can be a big deal to a lot of us, and I’m so grateful to know that I will always be in the very best hands whenever I visit 🤍
