Crouch End hairdressers - which do you recommend?

[MissTea]

Hi there,

My central London hairdresser who I have used for years has moved away so, as a busy mum, I thought I would try to find a local hairdresser instead.

There seem to be hundreds in Crouch End and I don?t know anything about any of them so it?s a real gamble! I've had some disastrous haircuts in the past, so I particularly want someone who listens to what you want and actually does it!

If you?ve tried a number of local hairdressers and have a recommendation, I would love to hear from you. Also, if you?ve tried a number of stylists at the same place and have a favourite then please let me know who!

Many thanks xx

Charlotte Green in Muswell Hill is on the more expensive side but very good.

Thanks Wobbegong, do you mean Charlotte Murray? A few people have mentioned her but I haven't heard of Charlotte Green...

sorry, yes you're right, I think Charlotte Green is off the radio! what was I thinking...

Anyway, Charlotte Murray. Very nice. Actually listens to what you want. Gives no obligation consultation if you pop in.

Thanks! Anyone else? What about all the hairdressers in crouch end? Anyone tried any of those? Or is Charlotte Murray really the only one worth risking?

Thanks for your help xx

I have been going to Charlotte Murrays since they opened after trying a few others in the area, Emma has always done my colour, I can trust her to always do a good job and to come up with new ideas when I fancy something different. Jules currently cuts my hair and I am really pleased with it,I would recommend both of them very highly.

Pulp on crouch end hill is really good, the girls in their are really friendly too and Mary makes a lovely cuppa, prices reasonable too x

Yes definately Pulp, I have been going for years and have Eva or Isabella. Be prepared for loud music, but they are all lovely and really friendly.

Pulp and I used Isabella last time and it's the best colour I've had.

Brilliant! Thanks so much for all your advice

I know I'm a bit late on this thread but being recently new to CE I tried Toni & Guy (usual T&G did their own thing), the organic one on Tottenham Lane (ok) and Elysian Fields on the Broadway (opposite Budgens). At Elysian Fields I had a great cut & colour and they gave me wine whilst I was having it done. They also offered extra treatments (like hair mask with scalp massage - yum) in the downstairs quiet bit, which was nice.

I thought it was quite pricey but I moved to Crouchers from Birmingham, so I think that's just "London prices".

Hope this helps

hello - just to u/d this thread with a new recommendation. after reading this i tried pulp, which was fine, but rather noisy for me and not that relaxing! next time i thought i'd splash out and go to charlotte murray and it was ok but for £60/£65 no more than ok. still, i did intend to go back until the hairdresser i take the kids to, on stroud green road n4, 'blossoms' said she'd love to do my hair and knew exactly what to do with it. and she did! i got a cut and a colour for the same price as a cut at charlotte murray and am delighted with both. obvs looks much better cos i could afford to get the colour done (charlotte m had tried to persuade me but the starting price was £80 for colour alone). so i can really recommend her.

since i went there i found out a couple of other people go to her too - she's a bit of a well kept secret!

also the dcs hair is adorable and everyone comments.

after years of living in stroud green and heading to crouch end for haircuts i can now relax and know i go back to her again and again and keep colour up and everything. what a relief!

I know it's been a while since the last post but i thought i'd write in anyway in case anybody is still interested. I have tried all the salons in Crouch End as i have lived here for quite a few years and most of them are ok. I did however try a place called Avalon in Weston Park and it was definitely the best. I have been back there four times now and it seems consistently good. Friendly too and they have a section for children with books, toys and even a TV with children's movies. Definitely worth a try. Good luck.

Great tip, thanks for sharing.

I've tried loads too. started with Elysian Fields way back when (now closed), but stopped when I had to tidy it up myself one time - with the kitchen scissors! Have since been to Pulp (OK) and had a cut by the top stylist at MP4, which was great, but he's a bit out of my price range. Am now going to Avalon, Weston Pk - which was recommended by a friend - the main two stylists there are both great and not too pricey.

I also jumped from the sinking ship of Elysian Fields over to MP4 (by the clocktower). I have tried most of the stylists there and they have all been great, although Marta is my favourite.

Thanks to this site my friend and i both went to AVALON in Weston Park and we loved it!!!! Great stylists and really friendly and not pretentious at all!!! Thanks guys for your for the recommendation.

I went to Avalon on Weston Park the other day after reading this thread and had a Stylist called Victoria. I must say it was one of the best hair cut and colours i've ever had. She's really friendly and professional. Really great salon, a hidden gem!

Does anyone know which hair salon is the best in Crouch End? There’s so many I don’t know where to start!

I love Avalon in Weston Park. All the stylist are really good. I’ve had balayages, haircuts, high lights even a root melts there and they have all been exactly what I’ve asked for. I personally think Avalon is the best hairdressers in Crouch End. Hope this helps.
