My hair is everything to me and its been a solid 5 years now where ive just not been wowed... this lovely woman listened to me, offered advise, brought the vibes and gave me the best haircut I have had in a long long time! I am SO glad I did my research and clearly made the right decision, Martha keep doing you, you are awesome! Joan x”

  “I had my hair highlighted here a few times and was initially happy with Amy Fish. The last service I had here was very disappointing. My hair was darker than what I came with, and the colourist wasn't interested in correcting it. There are many places closeby where you'll get much better results and customer service.”

  “Extremely disappointed. I used the salon for a long time, not for a colour as they haven't got any good colourist, colourist are rude and miserable, will make you feel so uncomfortable. I had a haircut and I paid £180 for a haircut which …”

  “I recently had my hair cut at Larry King and left disappointed. The cut doesn’t seem properly aligned and the length feels uneven in places. The reception experience also wasn’t very welcoming, which added to the frustration. For the reputation and pricing, I expected much better attention to detail and customer service.”

  “Excellent bob. Efficient. Unforgiving. One of the best haircuts I’ve had in years. The bob is sharp, flattering, and easy to maintain. Louis clearly knows his craft and paid attention to every detail. Look forward to visit again.”

  “Edit - Larry King are a dishonest organisation and have attempted multiple times to have my review taken down by Google by stating I have posted s*xually explicit photos in my review. This is there attempts to cover up the state they left my hair in. There are no explicit photos in my review. My review is HONEST and a true account and the damage they caused to my hair took years to fix…. I came to see Luci Green because I was not happy with the way my hair colour turned out at my old hairdressers and saw the good reviews for Larry king. She initially placed a few face framing highlights in and did a gloss and told me to wait for 8 weeks before I came back for a full head of highlights. 8 weeks later I came back to see Luci and explained very clearly what I was looking to achieve with my hair again. I also triple checked that she would be making my hair blonder at the roots and underneath whilst leaving my natural hair colour in also so it wasn’t too solid. I had spent a year growing my roots out and getting the condition improved. Five hours later in the chair my hair is darker than when I came in. She has filled my natural hair that I was growing out with a permanent tint that I did not ask for or want, my hair is no longer blonde and she has spread an ash shade permanent tint over the majority of my head which does not blend with my warm base tone. The roots are a strange warm tone. The highlights in my roots are not even blonde and barely visible other than the face framing which has been bleached so much it now has breakage. Furthermore what highlights are in the rest of my hair have not been taken to the scalp and there is banding. You can see in the photo they look incredibly messy and unprofessional. I instantly noticed my hair condition had gone from soft and silky to straw like. I am absolutely devastated at what has been done to my hair, I’ve paid £520 (£360 for highlights and the rest for a cut) to have my beautiful long hair ruined. As you can see from the photos the cut is blunt and the layers are not soft and gentle like I asked, one side is more layered than the other and I’ve lost the whole look of the hair style I recognise. It now looks dated. I went back to get it fixed and could not believe the audacity of Luci when she professed that this is what I asked for. No one would spend this much money for their hair to look like this. Ever. She then went on to complain to me that she has booked time out of her schedule to fix it and what if I don’t like it again. Insinuating that I am the problem and that I should be grateful for her time. Perhaps consider that if I was listened to and my hair wasn’t damaged I would not have had to come back. After this I asked for my money back as my trust in the salon and the hairdresser was entirely gone. Thankfully the salons manager agreed to give me my money back but it doesn’t compensate for the fact my hair is now ruined and I cannot take back the time and effort I spent to get my hair in good condition. The first photo where I am holding my phone is of my hair before I went into the salon and the others are what it looked like after. Advice to salon - please LISTEN to your every day clients I am certain one of your celebrity clients wouldn’t get treated so poorly.. and if you are going to charge a premium then provide a premium service. If it goes wrong then do not gas light the customer and attempt to place blame on them. There is no denying in these photos that my hair has been damaged. I am so disappointed with this experience I would get 0 stars if it was possible. I thought my experience at my old salon was bad but compared to this they did a brilliant job. Do better.”
