Awesome bob - turned my hair back into a style. Thank you Veronica.
Great consultation and wonderful style choice to suit my preferences.
Holly adapted the colour as I asked, v pleased with the result. Blow dry by Hiro was wonderful as always. It survived a particularly wet and windy London day.
Excellent and very careful bob!
Great experience and lovely cut by Alina.
Alina was nice and everything but to be honest I don’t think she did a good job on the color and I was actually disappointed when I came out as although it looked natural it lacked spark which was the reason why I came…
Hi Lee,
So sorry to hear you're not happy with the results of your appointment with Alina. Thank you for letting us know - feedback is important to us. Could we offer you a complimentary redo at a time to suit?
Hair colour and cut is fabulous as always. Unfortunately, the overall experience was well below what it should be. The salon was freezing cold (even though I was told it wasn’t!), the coffee was undrinkable and the young person that washed my hair, coughed over me multiple times and clearly didn’t have a clue what he was doing. The manager was made aware of the issues I raised but didnt feel it was necessary to discuss the issues with me. Terrible customer service which would put me off going again: really disappointing as this use to be a fantastic salon and just isn’t anymore.
Whilst we're saddened by your comments above, you were clearly in a terrible mood before you even arrived at the salon. I'm sorry you were feeling cold. But the salon was not cold. The heating was set to 24 degrees, and we can't change the temperature for the whole building just for one guest. No matter how loud they complain. Our award-winning coffee is far from undrinkable. If the coffee was not what you ordered, you could have simply requested another. Calling it undrinkable is just silly. An assistant coughed in your presence - are you aware of the season? He apologised immediately.
Your rude and unreasonable behaviour in salon was unacceptable, and prompted complaints from other guests. The owner, Gary, decided it best not to approach you for fear of making things worse, as you were clearly on a very short fuse and about to blow. There is absolutely no justification for your behaviour, and aggression, and we completely refute your claims of poor service. Don't waste any time wondering about whether to return. You are not welcome.
Edit: please don’t call the salon again and call our receptionist a tosser.
Update: Yes, you're entitled to leave an honest review, what you're not entitled to do is project your own problems onto your experience, and lie about what actually happened in a public arena. Entitled...!
Great hairdresser. Always consistent and gives good advice n great communicator
Veronica is amazing - she knows curly hair and its rebellious nature. She used a special brush for curly hair today and my hair looks fabulous.
I was overdue a haircut and needed not only a tidy up but some new thoughts. Lulu played about and then made her suggestions. I went with that and love what she did. Thank you.
A really lovely experience from start to finish. My first time getting colour at you salon and I am very happy with it. Alina took great care in making colour decision, and finished with a fantastic Bob cut. I will come again to Alina. Thank you

Thought I had the best cut ever the first time Hiro styled my hair, earlier in 2025. He has surpassed himself this time. The style he has given me is beautiful, taken a few years of my age, too. The cut is beautiful, precise and delicate. It’s light and balanced and I LOVE it!
Love coming here. Know it’s gonna be perfect every time. Have been coming a while and they’ve always served up perfection. Holly is considered more junior but love and trust her. She’s done balayage, and normal highlights for me. She’s a total perfectionist - really knows what she’s doing.
Gary Ingham in Hampstead is my go-to hairdresser when I need expert colour, precision cutting, and a style re-fresh. The service and salon is a cut above - you can see how much care goes into making sure every client has a first class experience. Gary himself is a leading light in British hairdressing, and the team behind him are the next generation in talent.
Holly is fantastic, always leaves my hair with a beautiful tone, brilliant colourist.
I cannot recommend the salon highly enough! Despite its swanky location, the salon has a relaxed, friendly vibe which NEVER feels intimidating. Both Davide and Gary are masterful, attentive stylists. They listen to what you want, as well as offering their own ideas. My previously sad, menopausal hair has never looked better since discovering the salon.
Always professional and so skilled! Love my haircut and colour- thank you!
I love this salon. All the hair stylists are great - would trust them all. Holly is awesome does exactly as you ask or does advise if I ask (every time lol)
Brilliant blow dry on long thick hair
amazing as always! Maia is such a fantastic colourist and Tracey cuts and styles beautifully!
I had a lovely haircut by Preeti. Wonderful experience, quality products and hair advice.
Thank you
I have been attending this salon for over 10yrs and have been Davide’s client for the majority of the time. Davide’s expertise is second to none and the staff are great. Always a treat and a pleasure to go.
It was my first time at Gary Ingham Salon and I will definitely be coming back. Hiro listened to what I wanted and then I just sat back and relaxed. If you want a great haircut I highly recommend you give this place a try.
Lovely colour and a different cut from usual with a lively chat - also learnt of a new product that will be stocked to support hair growth. Overall very good experience with Veronica
Another beautiful haircut from the very talented Tracey!
No colour services today but they're excellent as well!
Another great haircut from the very talented Davide. I’m growing my hair and thanks to Davide, it still looks great along the way. Such a warm and friendly team here too. Thank you.
Preeti does an amazing job cutting and styling hair and is a genuinely great person. The Salon is a lovely place and provides a great experience.
Really lovely salon, the staff are all friendly and Preeti is just fantastic. Took me from long to short hair and I couldn’t be happier. Lovely experience from start to finish. Thoroughly recommend.
Love my hair cut, and I will for sure be going back. My hairdresser Davide knew just what my hair needed. He cut my hair and blow dried it to perfection. He also advise me on how to look after my hair Also the young lady who washed my hair also gave me the best head massage. Thank you for a great first experience 😊
Brilliant hair cut, as usual. A looked-forward-to and relaxing morning, and worth every penny
Having Lou Lou taking care of the whole process (colour, cut and style) today was a real pleasure. She is extremely competent and skilled. She is mannered and polite. Id love to work with her again. I enjoyed (as always) coming to Gary Ingham salon. The entire team is impeccable and offer an incredible service. I have been customer at this salon for over 12 years and I wish this business to continue developing their offering in the future.. Prices are high but the service is highly valuable.
Never fail to deliver amazing customer service and a fantastic enthusiastic team of who never fail to deliver on the best hair experiences and results. 10/10
Always a great experience to come in and get my hair cut with Hirotaka. Thank you again ever so much.
had a great experience as always with Hiro.
Veronica is a superb stylist & colourist. She went the extra mile to make sure I left the salon feeling terrific.
I thoroughly recommend Tracey for a gents haircut. She has great attention to detail and it’s always a pleasure to see her too!
Great cut, very precise
As always, very grateful for such amazing care and detail.
Lulu was wonderful and understood exactly what I wanted and definitely achieved it.
I’ve been coming here for years and as far as I’m concerned my hair is in its best condition and saved a products despite the price tag are worth every penny.
Fab service as always!! Tracy and staff helped document my hair donation for the Little Princess Trust.
Tracy worked wonders (as always) on my new hairstyle, and the staff helped put together a meaningful social media post. Thank you!
Amazing colour today again by Maia and first time with Tracey for a much needed hair cut which i love! Lovely salon with great people
Fantastic hair salon — Maia is the best when it comes to color!
Excellent professional service. Maia really listened and achieved the results I hoped for. Loulou also blow dried my hair. They were both excellent
Gary is the best hairstylist I know - I have been going to him for 20 years. I would definitely recommend him and the salon. I love the products too. And the tea.
Alway leave feeling good !
Professional, friendly service
I think it’s enough to say that I drive for an hour to reach the salon and have been doing so for about 15years and I only do that knowing that I will be getting a superb hair cut and in a great salon
Gary always listens carefully & advises thoughtfully based on your wishes. Be is a real creative, with the skills and precision to execute the agreed vision. This combination means you get the cut you want and there are never any unwanted surprises! On top of this he’s a really lovey guy & the salon staff are all helpful & friendly
Fantastic service as always
