About The Curious Comb

The Curious Comb works by appointment as a hairdresser and barber shop on Hazel Lane in London, handling cutting and colour Tuesday to Saturday. Appointments are booked with a particular stylist, so returning clients can stay with the same one and have the cut built from how their hair was done on previous visits. The team talks through what you want before starting, explains each stage as the cut progresses and checks in partway to confirm the shape is going the right way. Colour work sits alongside the cutting, including matching a shade to a reference picture brought to the appointment. The team also suggests cutting options, recommends products and gives advice on looking after hair between visits. A step-free entrance lets visitors with mobility needs reach the chair without steps. Mondays and Sundays are closed, so the week's appointments run from Tuesday onward.

Customer Review Summary

What reviewers return to most is the step by step consultation: stylists here talk through what they intend to do at each stage and check in repeatedly mid cut to confirm the client is happy, something several clients describe as decisive after bad experiences at other salons. Close behind is the sense that requests are remembered, with one long standing client saying his stylist recalls exactly how he likes it and occasionally suggests something new, and another noting her stylist remembered her from a first appointment and asked how that cut had worked out. Reviewers also mention cutting and product suggestions offered without pressure, advice on keeping hair healthy, and a colour correction worked from a photo until the client said it was right. Several describe people with real hair anxiety being put at ease, and a number expressly recommend the salon to others in the area. The room itself draws comment for being clean, welcoming and quirkily decorated, with one client praising the perfect amount of chat.

Featured reviews

  • Emma Claire van Buuren
    “Went to the Curious Comb for the first time and had Jasmin cut my hair (which needed a lot of help). She was amazing! She listened to everything I wanted and checked in with me throughout the haircut to make sure I was getting what I wanted. I walked out feeling amazing, and with the best haircut I've ever had. I could not recommend this salon enough, and I am looking forward to my next haircut!”
  • Emily Mackenzie

  • Alex H
    “Regularly get my hair cut here by Kasper who's always accomodating and careful to get the look I want, with advice to help it look good. He manages the perfect amount of chat.”
  • Lisa Roberts
    “Jasmin has been cutting my hair for years and has never made me feel more confident and safe. As someone with major hair anxiety, she listens and makes suggestions perfectly suited to what I want. She truly is an amazing stylist”
  • Allan Lorriman
    “Kaspar has now cut my hair for about 1 year and since I've started going to him I will never go anywhere else. He understands and remembers exactly how I like my hair cut, makes occasional recommendations for me to try something and together we have found the perfect formula and hair cut. I'll never let anyone else cut my hair now. I'm lucky I live very close right now but if I did live further I would have no issues travelling. His service is well worth the few extra £. Consistent and perfect every time.”
