Aqffin, London www.aqffin.co.uk

I never know what type of hair cut I want, but here it is like they read my mind before I have thought of it.

Best kept secret on Commercial Street/ the Spitalfields area. Try to make an appointment before you trek over since they can get busy especially on Saturdays.

Stylists know their craft, especially ones that have been at the salon longer. Staff is very polite and pleasant. Both women who left before me where absolutely glowing and excited about their haircuts. Great value in a neighbourhood that has gotten extra pricey. They deserve all the business that they can gather!

I absolutely hate going to the hairdressers, mainly because of how pretentious they are and the way my hair looks afterwards. Until now! Aqfinn is just a really welcoming, stylish yet humble place. It doesn't have any of the opulance that maybe somewhere like Taylor Taylor has and that's a good thing. It's just a practical space that does exactly what it should... cut hair well!

I've spent the past couple of months growing my hair out after the last hairdresser I went to butchered it. I mean this lady really had no clue how to cut hair and I ended up with one huge 'layer' which looked like a step in my hair from one 'style' to another. I didn't think it could be fixed but went to Aqfinn so they could at least tidy it up a bit while I was still growing it. Well my god, Ikkei is a genius! He totally fixed my hair... it looks amazing! I didn't have much to work with in the short section but he tidied it up and blended it all together perfectly.

This is the first time I can actually remember leaving the hairdresser with a smile on my face.

I've finally found my perfect hairdresser and can't recommend this place enough! :)
