Edward James London - Balham

I think her name was Becca, but please check.

Great cut and colour, thank you

Jess is amazing, I was in such a rush as had another appoint. Jess worked so hard and fast to get me out in time! Highlights as wonderful as always

Had a colour blend today and my hair looks great. It looks like I had new highlights! Highly recommend Edward James salons always a great experience

I’m afraid I can’t remember the name of the stylist who cut my hair yesterday but in all honesty I’m not very happy with it. I asked for 1.5 inches to be taken off, for it to be relayered and the face framing at the front to be shortened. I did say I wanted to preserve the overall length but I don’t feel that anything really was taken off, and I was most concerned with the face framing because it wasn’t cut evenly at all. When he’d finished the cut, I pointed out that it wasn’t even at the front; he apologised but then proceeded to take even more length off the shorter side. I actually went into another hairdresser on the way home and she gave me a ‘fringe trim’ and evened it out, but I was quite disappointed with the quality of the haircut yesterday. I did say to your stylist that I was happy with just a rough blow dry because I’d be re washing/styling again this morning, but he didn’t offer to put any products on my hair or anything and I just came out with hair that looked and felt worse than it had done when I’d come in.

Jess is fab- she always gets the best results and she is lovely to chat to as well. My hair looks thick with the perfect brunette colour and her big brush blow dry is unparalleled for volume. I love having a Prosecco or two and relaxing in the salon. An experience like no other!

I always see Jessica because she is amazing! I booked for a full head tint but she suggested a root tint and toner which was fab, we finished with a cut and beautiful bouncy blow dry which lasted 5 days!

Once again Jessica was great - she listens to what I would like and gives very good advice.

I'm so pleased to have found Aaron and Edward James. The salon is beautiful and relaxing. Aaron is lovely and an amazing hairdresser. My cut is perfect and my colour hasn't looked this (enhanced) natural in years. Happy 1st time customer. Will be back.

My first time visiting Edward James and I love my hair, thank you Gitanna glad I’ve found my new hairdresser :)

Great service as always. Friendly and welcoming. Very happy with the result

Delighted with my colour by Jessica to cover my grey. I've been trying to find a colourist for a long time who will listen and discuss what is best for my hair that will give me a result I actually want (I have delicate hair and colour in the past has damaged it). She gives great advice and I'm really pleased with the finished colour and condition. My second visit to her and I've already rebooked again. She's also lovely :)

Harriet and Becca have both done a male colour and cut for me for a while now. Both are the best in Balham. Even when I’m being a bit particular I can rely on them to put it right. Highly recommend and grateful to have you all in Balham. 5 star service!

Natalie listened to what I wanted and did a magic job. My colour looks phenomenal and just what I described to her. Would highly recommend.

Excellent all-round - Carrie really listened to what I wanted even though I wasn’t fully clear myself, was accomodating, and executed it perfectly. Always well looked after at EJ, including helping me when I wasn’t entirely happy with a previous visit. Will keep coming back.

Love my new blond look fir the summer and a fab new hair cut. I would highly recommend Edward James salons.

Another great experience. I am so happy that o found Edward James. I have been coming to the establishment since we moved to Balham in 2019. Emily has always been who I have worked with and she continues to do a great job. Thank you!

Just wouldn’t go anywhere else at this point. Love the colour, cut and style. Always perfect

Excellent service and colour as always. Deren is definitely an excellent colourist

As always, a fabulous service at Edward James (loved binging on the magazines.. could do with more trashy ones..!!) Jess is just amazing, always gets my highlights correct, I’m quite annoying as always chasing the rainbow of a hair shade and she always nails it! The guy who washed my hair was so so lovely and friendly. Not sure his name but was fab!

Deren took the time to listen to me and advice me of what i wanted

Amazing service, colour, cut and blow dry. Will be coming back again for sure!!!

What a beautiful salon but an overall disappointing quality of service. My requests for services, extension application and removal were accepted and 10 min later declined! Maybe the staff should he better trained as to what services they actually provide and under what conditions!
Also “senior colourist “ gave me yellow hair with black roots, the salon graciously corrected their mistake with another colourist but with another 4 hours of my time, maybe they need to be a bit more careful as to who they award the title “senior”

What can I say - I’ve follow him round London. Ed manages my heart and soul as much as my hair! A skilled master craftsman😊

I’m very happy with the service I had - Jessica’s advice on colour and treatment is always good.
The person who washed my hair was also very good, and I love the massage chairs 😄

Aaron is a brilliant stylist. So happy with my hair. The whole experience was so relaxing. I was well and truly pampered.

I’ve been seeing Natalie for years. She’s so good professional and her cuts are amazing. I often get asked where I go!

Amazing service. I had a terrible cut elsewhere and I was immediately reassured, told what cpuld be fixed and what would take time to grow out. Did a great tidy and set me back on track, all for a minimal cost, thank you!

Jess has revived my hair! The colour looks much richer and she ensured that I didn’t get stains on my forehead which is a bonus. She gave my hair lots of volume with a big brush blow dry and pinned it so it looked good for a wedding the next day and it still looked amazing 3 days later. I had lots of compliments.

I had highlights and a cut + blow dry. I was very pleased with the service and would certainly recommend this salon.

The salon is lovely, and Aaron is a fantastic stylist! He’s friendly, welcoming, and always offers gentle, helpful suggestions when I ask. My hair looks amazing every time, and I genuinely enjoy each visit. I’d highly recommend Aaron and the salon to anyone!

Aaron cur my hair for the first time yesterday in Balham and I couldn’t be more pleased with the cut and having also coloured my hair recently too, the combination was lovely. His care and attention to detail is second to none and he quickly knows what is going to look right for my hair and the whole process is seamless friendly and excellent. Thank you so much.

I just love going to Edward James, it’s so so relaxing, all staff are super friendly and Jess is just incredible, she always knows what I like and the end result is perfect!!

My least favourite experience and colour result as explained below.

Always a great experience!! I’ve been coming here for years now and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Gitanna is incredibly talented and always does an amazing job on my hair. Highly recommend!!

Regular customer new stylist was fine although didn’t listen to my initial instructions. The lady that washed my hair (there’s always a new one) was terrible, she ended up tuning my jumper pouring water with bleach from my hair all over the front of my neck, forehead, face. She then burnt my scalp whilst drying the hair and dried it so bad I had like a lump wave on my hair I just could not her rid off for two days.

I know I'm going to be looked after here.

Pleased with result of haircut and colour

Carrie is an absolute superstar - not only is her knowledge of cuts, colour and products second to none, she is so much fun to sit and chat to. I can’t recommend her (or Hayley upon her return) highly enough.

Excellent service

Had a great experience with Aaron on Monday! He was friendly and professional—not too chatty, but very considerate. He checked in to make sure I was happy with the length and was more than happy to take a little more off when I asked. I also really appreciated his advice on my hair, which was super helpful. I’ve already recommended him to a friend, and I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Came in for a root tint and a cut, came away with a new colour and stylish bob both of which I love!

Great service from start to finish, always love how Jessica does my hair. She mixed the perfect colour, was so attentive to make sure the cut was what I wanted and the bouncy blow dry was amazing!

Fabulous hair as always. Walked out feeling 10 years younger!

Fabulous - Dalis understands my hair and the results are excellent, even when the colour grows out.

Great treatment performed by Jess. Lovely salon and staff, always feel in good hands and the treatment smoothed my hair really well without becoming too flat

I keep on returning to this salon through the years (for highlights) as i like aveda, but more importantly feel there is a consistency. Even if i don't see the same person every time.
They are friendly, professional, and i always leave pleased with the result.

Excellent hair colour and cut. Gitanna always does a great job and gives helpful advice about my hair.

I brought my daughter in to have a haircut. Aaron was incredible from start to finish. Her cut was perfect and my daughter left happy and feeling glamorous!

Overall staff are incredible - helpful and sincere. Which makes the experience from start to finish enjoyable.

I always enjoy my visit to the salon, knowing that I can put hair in the hands of Deren.
Amazing service and such an experienced stylist.

Love coming here and seeing Jessica! My favourite stylish and colourist I’ve ever had. She does such a beautiful job on my hair and I have 100% trust in her! So pleased to find such a great salon locally. A well presented, sleek, homely place to get your hair done and feel pampered.
