Lino at Daniel Galvin

[GermanGirlinLondon]

I have an appointment booked with Lino on Saturday. I just read on the website that he allows 30 minutes for a haircut while others do one hour. My hair takes nearly 30 minutes to blowdry, surely that isn't included in the cutting time? Has anybody been to have their hair cut by Lino and can tell me about the experience?

Yes, I have.

Admittedly I have short hair so it's quick to blow dry, but he seemed to take just as long to cut it as have stylists in other London salons of comparable reputation - I didn't feel he skimped on time.

As it happened, I didn't stay with him for long as just felt there was a lack of chemistry and he wanted to give me a rather more 'formal/ traditional' style, while I preferred a rather 'funkier'/ more modern/ informal one. But clearly his well-publicised roster of celeb clients are happy with him, and I have a friend who's been a regular of his for years and swears by him.
