I have been going back to the Golders Green Tony&Guy franchise for years and gradually I've witnessed it going worse and worse in terms of stylist' quality. Last year I had my hair ruined by the 'experienced senior stylist' who decided not to use scissors but a razor on my long hair. I was charged over £80 to get the terrible look that took over a year to recover. I promised myself to never go back again. However, I did, this time for a colour. I asked for the very well known and trendy... (read more)

Had nanokeratin treatment done by Ben. This treatment is supposed to remove frizziness for 3 months. Paid £150 + bought their shampoo/conditioner worth another £30. Hair was to be left unwashed for 4 days, and then on the first wash I was supposed to see the difference. My hair was EXACTLY the same, treatment had NO effect at all. I complained, was seen after 4 weeks, and was only told that as my hair is different from most customers, i might have to go through the treatment 2-3 times... (read more)

I was made to feel a lot more at ease than I was expecting, and I finally found somewhere the hair dressers had enough training/experience and confidence to know what I needed, when I didn't. It's just a shame it's so expensive. (read more)

One thing almost worse than paying ALOT for a bad hair cut is paying ALOT for a haircut you specifically said you didnt want. Marie cut my hair a few days ago and dispite the fact that I said twice that I was growing my hair long and that I didnt like my current fringe... she cut the frings so it was prety much the same AND cut my hair SOOO short... a hairdresser that DOESNT LISTEN is a terrible hairdresser that should not be charging what I paid for my cut.

Three days ago I had my hair cut by the style director at the Enfield branch.i paid the top price because I wanted the best haircut but what I got instead is something out of a horror book.My teenage son could not believe me when I told him I had it done by a supposedly top professional he said it looks really awful and I should cover my hair until it grows.Ironically I have really nice healthy hair naturally which I can wear curled or straight and so it's a real waste of money and quality...

My hair had always been very fine, dull and almost lifeless until i came to toni and guy. I went from chest long brown hair to very short mid length jet black hair. It looks amazing, healthy, shiny and thicker too! The girl really knew what she was doing and what would suit me. The colour really compliments my dark features and skin tone. It was quite an expensive cut and dye i think it was around 95? But i am not disappointed it was worth the money in my opinion, since my hair was having a... (read more)

Went in to Hertford salon for haircut with the Director/woman owner and was given a classic bob but as my hair is very thick Mediterranean hair it did not suit and looked like a set wig, It was far too short and heavy.

I visited toni and guy for the 1st time. The stylist came over and I had a quick consult, told him wanted I wanted, asked him about a fringe. Told me I need a hair mask as my hair was damaged. I was then left with someone to wash my hair, this part was ok. The stylist then proceeded to put products on my hair which were meant to help. Carried on snipping away, once again asked advice on a fringe and. Got ignored. I had shine spray and was told I was finished. When I got to the till products... (read more)

I've recently visited Newcastle branch for cut and highlighting, and it was the worst experience in my life! First of all, the salon is dirty and messed, they don't remove hair from the floor, but simply shift them to the corners, so dust and hair are everywhere: walls, seats, equipment, even mirrors! They treated me like a dog, the girl who washed my hair has tried to use an old broken brush full of someone's hair and dust, and she wrested and damaged a significant amount of my hair! Then,...

On a recent visit to the Cambridge branch of this supposed 'state of the art' salon I was immensely disappointed. At other salons (not Toni and Guy) it has always been a relaxing, enjoyable experience visiting the hairdressers however this experience was nothing short of awkward, stressful and definitely not worth the money. I was booked in for a colour with 'apparently' one of their most experienced staff, well if she was experienced I would hate to have had one of lesser experience. The... (read more)

I was so nervous before making my appointment. I've only recently moved to London and had been going to my regular salon (not Toni&Guy) for years. I called to make an appointment and I was already put at ease.

I had an appointment, I was on time. I was kept waiting for 15 minutes while being given snotty looks by the staff. One hairdresser was playing with a hairdryer and mucking about, another was having fun with her boyfriend. Not once did someone ask me if I was ok, or that my hairdresser would be with me soon. I walked out. Also, the full volume lady gaga music really didn't add to the experience. Rude, judgmental and the staff really couldn't care less. (read more)

After reading these reviews I was fairly put off trying Toni & Guy in Sheffield but thought I would ring them up to check prices anyway. The woman who answered was rude and as soon as she told me the prices said bye and hung up without checking whether I needed anything else and would like to book! If the receptionist is like that it makes me wander about the attitudes of the hair dressers - I don't think I will be using them. I used to be under the impression that Toni & GUy were a well...

I have only had hair cuts done by the style director and the Art director at this place and they have both failed me. It is not a case of me "not liking the style" rather the two side of my hair look different, and it is not difficult to spot it either, on top of that he ignored what I asked for, and cut my hair way shorter than I told him to. If you care about your hair, and want somewhere good don't bother with this one, it is one of the worse Tony and guy I have ever been to! (read more)

Went to T&G in Covent Garden for a wash and cut and was abused by the hairdresser because hair on the right side of my head was slightly longer than the left. And when she interrogated me as to when my last haircut was and I replied 4 months, she shrieked so loudly her colleagues and other customers turned to stare at us. Then flipping my hair about with such disdain she intoned, "you call this a haircut?" to the giggles of others around. I had never been so insulted in my life. To make... (read more)
