Can anyone recommend a hairdresser who is good with curly hair in central London?

[SheherazadeSchadenfreude]

That's it really!

No but I can reccomend a brilliant one in Birmingham! Mathew James, he trained for ten years in New York with the woman who wrote the Curly Girl Handbook. He's totally transformed my hair and the products I now use !

Here are some reviews...

Oh and he is in Birmingham UK if the website is confusing!

Surely I don't need to go to Birmingham for a haircut... do I?

Might consider it though, it looks like spaniel ears at the moment.

There's an American stylist who cuts the same wayas the guy above. He flies over four times a year to do sessions at a salon called Rosh in Temple Fortune.

Karen used to work in Monmouth st.

She is great with curly hair and has been passed around all my curly haired friends. I just stopped going as it become more and more impossible to get to Central London with kids and stuff.

I think she is also supposed to be good with colour.

I don't know the number of the salon but you can get her on 07970 511 413

Frank at pier point in soho is ace!

Emma at brooks and brooks in Holborn

Mark at Decadance salon on Store Street off Tottenhamcourt rd.

Thank you!

The Londoner blog just recommended Michael Clarke in Marylebone, but I think she got a free cut so not sure whether she has or would pay.

Caroline at Percy & Reed East in Shoreditch. She cuts my curly mop and is amazing.

I came on to mention Matthew james and I've been beaten to it!

Ooh Jenny, hi, are you a fan of Mathew James too..?

And Birmingham is actually really not that far from London when you think about how far you travel in London to go places ( ex Londoner here!)
