Quick info
About ELK Hair Bar London
On England's Ln in London, ELK Hair Bar London is a hairdresser that shares its space with a coffee shop and a skin clinic. Clients are offered complimentary coffee during appointments, and the coffee shop serves artisan food alongside biodynamic wines for those who want to eat or drink while they wait. One stylist carries out the full service, from cut and colour through to shampoo, rather than handing clients off between different staff members. A dog is often present in the salon. ELK operates by appointment, and it opens Monday to Saturday, closing on Sundays.

“I have come to Elk for years and always get a great colour and cut from Anna ✨ All the team are lovely, and it’s a very pretty setting too. Plus, you might be honoured with a cuddle from Teresita the dog, always a highlight. x”
- Juri Leitner
“It always a pleasure going to get my hair cut at Elk! Not only are the hair stylists absolute connoisseurs, but the service, refreshments and food are excellent! Thanks to Elvinas and the rest of the team for always offering a great experience!”
- Dario d'elia
“I visited this hair salon for the first time and I’m truly impressed! The staff is incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to every detail—especially Silija and Alvin, who were amazing throughout the entire experience. They really listened to what I wanted and gave great advice, delivering a result that exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is clean, welcoming, and relaxing—perfect for taking some time for yourself. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality and expertise!”

“The best hair salon in North London! Have been coming here for 5 years and I always come out of the salon feeling amazing! Elvinas does the best cut and colour!!!”
- Nelli Suntila
“I am so happy to have landed myself in this salon! Silja made my hair perfect & I also had great fun during my appointment, and I was glad to be able to come in the midst of my busy working week having not entirely planned what I was looking for yet achieving exactly what I needed with my hair. Layla also had a very professional touch to her work and was incredibly kind and attentive. The team at ELK brings such a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere to the salon, yet their expertise is also clearly something people return for time and again. If you're up for having your hair fix while enjoying good coffee (or wine!) and conversation, this is the place :)”

Customer Review Summary
Cuts and color work draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly describing stylists who take time to listen before a transformation, from a long-hair-to-bob change with highlights and toner to repeated color refreshes. Several single out one hairdresser by name recognition alone as a longtime go-to for cuts and highlighting, while other stylists earn separate mentions for attentive, comfortable appointments. Alongside the styling, reviewers consistently note the complimentary lattes, artisan food, and biodynamic wines served during appointments, plus a small resident dog some describe as a highlight of their visit. The atmosphere comes up again and again as friendly and welcoming, with several calling it a neighbourhood spot they return to for years rather than a one-off visit. No recurring complaints appear across these reviews. Multiple reviewers say they are already booking their next appointment before leaving.
