Recommendations for balayage stylists in London?

[Bartdudette]

Hi wise ladies of S&B. Long time lurker and admirer of advice here. I'm approaching my due date and have all the late pregnancy niggles making me feel fabulous! I'm a mousy blonde and have had highlights for as long as I can remember. I'd really like something that looks more natural, and might be easier to maintain with a baby, and balayage looks to be the solution from the research I have done. Does anyone have any recommendations for tried and tested balayage stylists? I'm in SE London but would happily trek into central for a promising lead. Thanks!

I had mine done at a good salon where I live is SE London..whereabouts are you?

I'm in the Greenwich area, but happy to travel

I had mine done at this place in West Norwood:

The guy who did mine is called Giancarlo and he is fab.

I haven't got anything to compare it to however as only had it done here (it's local to me), but would recommend.

Thanks Davethecat, I will check them out. Any others to throw into the mix?

Hopeful bump for more suggestions... :)

Nikita or Rosie at Brooks & Brooks in Holborn.

Central London prices, but the two times I've strayed in the last six years to try and cut costs, I've remembered why they are worth paying a bit extra.

Despina at Michael John in Kensington. Have a look at her Instagram- Depiboo3.

Myla and Davis - few salons across South London.

Another vote for Brooks & Brooks. I've been going there since they first opened so quite a few year now! Wouldn't go anywhere else! I see Paul for colour and he's fab.

Thanks all, looking forward to checking these out!

These guys are the best at this, they do lots of crazy colour which gets a lot of publicity but they pride themselves on the perfect balayage and have won lots of awards.

I second despina

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I went with Nikita at Brooks and Brooks in the end as I could justify a lunch with a nearby friend. She was fab and worked her magic and I am delighted with the results! Looks so natural I'm hoping that the first months as a newborn won't need any maintenance. Your collective wisdom prevails! X

You have to share a pic!

My son is based in Putney - Seanhanna but does private work. He's a balayage king and does all of my friends. Most of them live in SE London so he travels.
