“Rude ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by CarleyNewton77 on 19/09/2020

I booked to get my 7 year old daughter’s fringe cut here. We arrived 5 mins early. No one greeted us so we sat down and sanitised. There was one stylist working on a lady’s hair and in deep conversation. And another lady (beautician) who eventually acknowledges us. I said we have an appointment. The busy stylist then says she’s running a bit late as one stylist is off. I was happy to wait a bit as there were only 2 clients there I didnt think I would need to wait too long for a kids fringe cut. How wrong I was. We were completely ignored for 45 mins. We could easily have been in and out in 10 mins maximum in between the 2 clients. No apology as I left. I wanted to kick a fuss but didn’t want to set an example to my daughter. I apologised to my daughter for making her wait so long for nothing. Awfully rude place! We were potential new clients but we will not be going there ever again!

“Pot luck even getting in!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 11/07/2018

Popped in hoping to get my haircut on a quiet weekday morning. When I got there, there were 2 ladies ahead of me waiting. The hairdresser then informs me it'll be at least a 2 hour wait. They don't take appointment so I'm not sure if anyone would be happy to wait 2 hours plus and then spend another 45 mins getting their haircut. Sorry I can't spend all day waiting in your salon hoping to get seen?! This place gets some good reviews, but I really don't recommend it, won't bother with them again - what a waste of time.

“Strange Place, Very Moody Lady Cutting Hair”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Astra9 on 23/07/2017

Been here a few times, the lady cutting hair is very moody, she charged different prices for the same cut without any explanations on why she decided to charge more or less before. When she is in a good mood the hair cut is fine, god forbid she is in a bad mood you will come back with a real bad haircut, she just decided to chop of one layer of my hair from below and I was horrified when I realised a few days later trying to tie my hair up. Don't know what she was thinking, if she is having a mood don't let her near your hair!!!

“The rudest hairdressers ever ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ShaniyaGordon350 on 03/08/2016

A friend of mine recomended this place so I thought that I would give it a go, since I am on a quest to find the perfect hairdresser. The owner cut my hair and my little son's hair and I have to say it was my worse hairdresser experience ever: i had to point out to her that my son's hair at the back wasn't straight. Then while cutting my hair she left one side longer than the other. I pointed that out to her and she replied "here, do you want to cut it yourself?". Absolutely outrageous. In addition to many other improper and impolite comments, that border on racism towards certain nationalities. Never going there again.

À warm friendly salon which I used regularly when living in Brockley. Excellent cuts which my friends remarked on and which lasted . Very professional colouring- i have had highlights,lowlights and Inoa colouring -very satisfactory. Pricing very reasonable. Tea and coffee always offered and I always found people working there very friendly and attentive. A great place.

★★★★☆

written by on 01/04/2010

I travel regularly from my home in kent to Tomboys as I have yet to find a better hairdresser. Not only does the cut look good but it stays looking good for longer and is easy to manage. The only downside is the length of time you have to wait - but I think its worth it.

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 14/08/2009

My experience at Tomboys hair salon was not what i at all expected, i have only been once and do not intend to go back. To start the staff are not extremely friendly or polite and the service i received was unsatisfactory. Although the prices are reasonable i will not be going back.

★★★★★

written by Mervyn Frost on 05/12/2007

The hairdressers at Tomboys, Brockley are outstanding, especially in the stylishness of the cuts that they give.

One of the best haircuts to be had in London and at a very reasonable price.

“I have been to the Tomboys salon in Brockley a grand...”

☆☆☆☆☆

written by ColdFish on 28/06/2007

I have been to the Tomboys salon in Brockley a grand total of twice.

I am a thirty eight year old single mother, and I don't get a chance to go to a hair salon on a regular basis, nor do I have great funds to do so, so imagine my surprise when visiting my brother in Brockley when I found Tomboys. They were doing a haircut, wash and blow dry for a meagre £21.

Upon arrival and entry I was completely ignored, as it were my first visit to this salon. The salon itself was just about busy (two elderly women having their hair done, and a teenager also waiting), so the mixture of loud music, chatter and blow drying is expected. The staff were all trying to talk above each other; in fact the place just seemed like a popularity contest between the staff.

After my half an hour wait, I was instructed to the seat, and my hair was washed by a quiet but really lovely, polite young woman. The water temp was just right, and she was very gentle. I was dumped in front of a mirror, and waited a further 10 minutes for my hair to be cut. Again, the staff seemed disinterested and cliquey, talking amongst themselves about their private lives, switching in and out of English and what sounded like Greek - although I am not sure. Call me old fashioned, but if there is one thing I cannot bare is people who can speak perfectly good English, suddenly switching into another language I do not understand in my presence. I find this unbearably rude. After the wait, another young woman came over to cut my hair, she was no older than 25. She spent no longer than a mere 10 minutes on my hair. At any previous salon I've been to at least 30 - 40 minutes is spent. She was rushing, and she was also indulging in "personal talk" again in her own language with the other staff, she would then turn to me and talk perfectly good cockney-like English to me.

She blew a hot hairdryer straight onto my scalp and was very rough with my hair. She proceeded to put some hair product in, and quickly put the mirror at the back of my head, not even giving me a chance to look properly. At this point she seemed disinterested and wanted it to be all over, rushing me up, even though no one was waiting (by this point the elderly ladies had both left, and the teenager was having her hair washed). I looked at my hair and it looked a state. Horrendous! She had cut too much off, and the style she had brushed my hair into and the way she layered my hair looked VERY dated. I felt like something out of the 80's.

I unwillingly handed over the money - Great British politeness I guess. It was only when I got to my brothers house, both he, his wife and adult daughter suggested that I go and get my money back immediately. I looked in the mirror. What she had done was terrible. It looked like I'd had a fight with a lawn mower. There were chunks missing, she had feathered it in some areas, and it was totally blunt in others. It was also noticeably wonky. There were original lengths of my hair where she had missed. I would never ever go back there.

I had my hair redone by another salon, and even they commented on the hair cut. They were astonished I actually paid for it. They also had to cut a fair bit off to balance the wonky parts.

To make matters worse, a month after my experience with Tomboys, I was speaking to my adult niece and her friend. Her friend had also had a bad experience with them, with the SAME hairdresser I had. Wonky hair cut, and what she described as a horrid, brassy colour, she went on to say that despite this particular hairdresser, there is actually a good hairdresser there, an older woman apparently (according to her) is excellent. Sadly I didn't experience her job.

The hairdresser that runs the salon is excellent with vast experience - perhaps take it up with her. The salon is always always busy and a tribute to their skills, experience and prices. West end prices can be approx £120
