The Cutting Bay in Bowes Park

I’ve been going to Cutting Bay for years as a loyal customer. I was debating whether or not to write this review as I’ve never had a bad experience but this time, I felt I had to say something. I get my hair cut by Jansu.. yansu not sure how to spell her name and apologies if I got it wrong. She cuts my hair well and does a good job but this time when I went (I don’t know if she was having a bad day or in a bad mood) she was making very bitchy comments to me about my hair and the condition it was in. One comment was about how thin my hair felt even though I’ve been trying to improve the thickness of my hair as I had a lot fall out last year due to stress and other problems I don’t wish to mention. I felt very self conscious about myself after and down about it. I work with customers in my job and I would never dream of speaking to customers like that! On top of this, she didn’t blow dry the back of my hair once the hair cut was finished so my hair was left frizzy. I don’t go and get my hair cut often but now I’m debating whether I want to go back because of how I was made to feel.

Went in with a head like a burst mattress, left with curls to make Shirley temple jealous, cheers Maria!

Excellent,efficient service. Experienced stylist. Everything done to make the client comfortable. Angie

Friendly, professional, affordable, they leave you satisfied. 5 stars.

Lovely wash by Elaine and straight bob blow dry by Jansu which was perfect just as I like it, with body and under at the ends. Happy New Year!!

Just had my hair cut and styled by Angie at Cutting Bay. And as always I'm happy and feel like a million dollars!
The friendly chatty atmosphere is a constant and welcome bonus too
Thanks all and Happy Christmas!! 😊

Very pleased with the style

Really attentive, great with adults and kids. Go out of way to make it a good experience x

Lovely hairdressers staff very friendly and helpful👂

I’ve always come here to get my two little boys a haircut. Maria and her team have a lot of experience and patience with kids which is much appreciated. They always make us feel comfortable and the kids get rewarded with a lolly which they love!

I always have a delightful experience in the warm and professional environment of cutting bay. Being very sensitive about my hair, Jansu is a real gem, along with the rest of the staff !

Angie did my hair today and I just want to say - amazing service and amazing results!!! I’m so in love with my new hair. I wanted a change for quite a while and today I made a very spontaneous decision with going dark brown and cutting my hair. Definitely going to continue going there from now on!

Always happy with my cut & blow dry, but today I was especially pleased with the results.

Lovely curly blow dry by Androulla! Very happy.

This is such a peron/client friendly environment. Very professional, warm and welcoming.
I am really happy with Maria, my haircut and will definitely come back again.

Thank you.

As a regular I can truly say this salon and it’s employees do regularly satisfy! Amazing work and amazingly kind people. AND they always remember my usual cut. PERFECT!!

I went in with my baby, got a wash cut and blow dry and it was the best service I have seen in a long time! Everyone was so helpful Thank you for a lovely pamper!

Maria is always so welcoming when I come to The Cutting Bay, even if I’m running late for my appointment! I enjoy our chats as she cuts my hair, which she cuts and styles extremely well. I always leave satisfied and confident that I can return to exactly the same level of service next time.

A thoroughly delightful experience! Loving my lighter hair x

Went in today on the off chance, and so pleased I did. I’m super happy with my cut and colour! Really lovely staff too. Will definitely go back.

Great service as usual

Lovely job done by Androulla today. It’s always uplifting getting my hair done and the team make you feel relaxed and at home.

Perfect cut - thank you, Androulla! And Elaine who shampooed was so friendly. Lovely salon.

I hadn’t been to a hairdressers for around 6 years and so was a little nervous as I was having a lot cut off. Angie did the best job and listened to exactly what I was after and gave me great advice on how the cut would sit with my particular hair. I left feeling so much more confident and happy in myself. All of the team were so warm and welcoming. Thank you :)

Beyond expectations. Was seen promptly. All the staff wore masks. Pleasant welcome. The young lady washed my hair gently. And Angie gave me a superb cut. BTW, a good cup of tea as well. Will definitely go back there again. The price was also very reasonable.

Very good service with such friendly and welcoming people. Made my hair look beautiful ❤️❤️

I managed to get a last-minute appointment with Angie today. She understood exactly how I wanted my hair cut and did a great job, nice and friendly with great cutting skills. The girl who washed my hair was also very nice. Good value for a London salon, thanks.

Very good

6 years ago I moved out of the area, yet I always go back to Cutting Bay in Bounds Green. The staff are all lovely, well qualified, and they take pride in their work. I won't go anywhere else

This salon always gives excellent service

Experts at blow dry & colour,

Absolutely fab, lovely lady angi did my hair, came out feeling great as my hair was just what I wanted, thanks angi see u soon 🤗

So happy with my new cut. Angie is a great stylist, very attentive to detail and to customer suggestions. Walked in here dripping wet (cloudburst!) and was immediately taken very good care of. Will be back!

There was a warm welcome, the staff checked in on my preferences and gave me helpful advice on how to style my hair.

Wonderful cut . Thoughtful , kind understanding staff . Pleasant cheerful atmosphere. Very happy with service provided. Will recommend Cutting Bay- 5 star all around

They dont do what they promised. They are not respectful to different cultures. They dont give you any opinion to have beatiful cut. I really felt I should leave the place immediately. I dont recommend to anyone

Great local family business. friendly staff. Great cuts and blowdrys. family friendly. not overpriced. Great boys cut by Maria!

Very awesome people who are very good hairdressers. I highly recommend Maria, Angie, and the rest of the team if you want your hair done right and looked after.

I am happy with the service I receive every month

My son has autism and a learning disability and so hair cuts have been a nightmare.. but through Maria's patience and understanding and getting an early or late appointment when it's quieter, he was very calm today and let Maria actually style his hair ..not just cut it! We always get a great friendly service and have been coming here for years..thanks so much.

I took my daughter (age 5) for a haircut today and the ladies at the Cutting Bay were lovely and welcoming and did a great haircut, my daughter was very happy!

Style looking good

11 year old boy's haircut by the very professional Maria. Shoulder length thick hair cut into a short trendy hairstyle ready for secondary school. Amazing transformation thanks to Maria's skilled hands!!
