A London hair appointment can mean anything from an express blow-dry before an event to a complete colour change. Start by deciding what you want done and how much time you can set aside. This guide brings together ten salons and uses their own service menus and stylist pages to show how prices are presented.
Ten London hair salons to compare
Listed alphabetically. Prices were checked against the linked salon pages on 11 November 2026. A starting price or a named stylist’s rate is an example for that service, so confirm the total before you book.
Blue Tit London
Area · Multiple London salons
Services · Cuts, blow-dries and colour
Published pricing · Cut and blow-dry from £85 on its bob service page
For a bob, bring a reference that shows the length from the side as well as the front. Ask how the shape will sit when air-dried and how often the neckline or fringe will need tidying.
Blue Tit’s bob page gives you a starting point for this specific haircut. If your current cut is much longer, say so when booking and ask for the time needed to reshape it. If you are choosing between branches, check the team profiles and book the same location you used when checking the price.

Duck & Dry
Area · Multiple London locations
Services · Blow-dries, occasion styling and cuts
Published pricing · Cut and blow-dry £99
For an event, tell the team when you need to leave the salon. Check whether the look you want is booked as a blow-dry or hair-up, and whether your chosen location offers the cut as well.
For a blow-dry, decide whether you want volume, movement or a smooth finish. Tell the salon if you have extensions or particularly long hair, as the slot may differ. If you have an early event, check the branch’s opening hours and the appointment duration before choosing a time.

George Northwood
Area · London
Services · Cuts, finishing and styling
Published pricing · James lists a cut and finish at £236 and a blow-dry at £85
These are prices for one stylist. When comparing the salon with another provider, select the person you would actually book with and compare their price for the same appointment.
Compare the work you want rather than the headline price of the salon. A separate blow-dry is a useful reference for styling, while the cut and finish is the relevant service if you want a new shape. Ask about maintenance and when you would need the next appointment.

Gielly Green
Area · Marylebone and Tower Bridge
Services · Cutting, colour, treatments and occasion styling
Published pricing · Marylebone lists a ladies’ cut and finish from £98 and a blow-dry from £56
Check prices for your chosen branch and stylist. For bridal hair or a formal occasion, ask what a trial costs and how much time to leave before you need to be at the venue.
Use the named stylist’s page when checking prices. If you like the look of a style in a photograph, explain which part you want to reproduce: the length, the layers or the finish. That makes it easier for the stylist to discuss what will suit your usual routine.

Hershesons
Area · London
Services · Cutting, styling and blow-dries
Published pricing · Vera lists a cut and finish at £165 and a blow-dry and finish at £85
If you want a style that is easy to maintain, tell the stylist how much time you normally spend on your hair. Ask which tools you would need to recreate the finish at home.
Check that the starting price you are comparing comes from the same branch you intend to visit. If you need more than a trim, explain how much length you are happy to lose. Discussing the shape at the start also helps if you want to keep enough length to tie your hair back.

Larry King
Area · South Kensington
Services · Cuts and blow-dries
Published pricing · Zoe Clark lists a cut and blow-dry at £102
Check you have selected the South Kensington location and the intended stylist. A new shape and a routine trim can call for different conversations, especially if you are growing out layers.
Start with the branch menu and choose the treatment you actually need. If you want colour and a cut together, ask for a combined estimate and check whether the finish is included. For a formal event, ask whether the team can accommodate your preferred timing at your chosen branch.

Radio London
Area · London
Services · Cutting, colour and event styling
Published pricing · Assistant quick-dry after colour £25
The quick-dry price is for a finishing option after colour. Ask for the cost of the full appointment, including any toning or treatment you select, before comparing it with a bundled quote.
Radio lists several ways to finish a colour appointment. Decide whether you need a quick dry or a styled finish, and ask about the price difference. If you are booking hair-up for an event, check whether it is offered at your selected salon or arranged separately.

Taylor Taylor London
Area · London
Services · Cuts, styling, highlights and balayage
Published pricing · Use the published menu to check the stylist tier for a wash, cut and finish
Check the branch and stylist before booking. If you plan to book colour too, ask whether the same person handles both services and whether the cut is a separate appointment.
Highlights and balayage can be priced differently depending on how much of the hair is coloured. Ask whether the booking requires a separate consultation and whether toner is included. If comparing the menu with another salon, use the same colour coverage and finishing service in both quotes.

Trevor Sorbie
Area · Covent Garden
Services · Cuts, blow-dries, colour and smoothing
Published pricing · Cut and finish £99 with a stylist, or £149 in the longer/thicker category at the same tier
Ask which length category applies and choose a stylist tier before budgeting. The colour menu requires a finishing service, so check the combined price and any skin-test requirement when booking.
The Covent Garden menu is especially useful if you want to see how stylist tiers affect the cost. The salon also publishes different blow-dry options, so compare the appointment you need. If you are unsure whether to book a longer slot, ask reception before committing to the price.

Windle London
Area · Covent Garden
Services · Cuts, colour, treatments and styling
Published pricing · Keratin Hair Restoration from £190
For smoothing, ask how long the appointment takes and what aftercare the salon recommends. If you only want a smoother finish for a specific day, compare the cost and timing of a standard blow-dry.
Windle separates styling and treatments in its service menu. If you are considering keratin for easier day-to-day styling, ask what result to expect on your hair texture and when you can wash your hair afterwards. That helps you compare the commitment with a one-off styling appointment.

How to compare salon prices
Compare the same service with the same finishing options. A cut and finish generally gives you a different result from a dry trim, and a price for a blow-dry after colour may only be available as part of a longer booking. Ask whether the quoted amount covers washing, styling and any products or treatments you have requested.
For a colour appointment, explain what has been applied to your hair before. A first consultation can help the colourist estimate how many appointments you will need and whether a skin test is required. Ask how toner, gloss and finishing are priced and check the deposit and cancellation terms before paying.
What to ask before booking
Ask whether the stylist regularly works with your hair texture and the kind of cut you want. If the style needs to work with your natural texture, show the salon how you normally wear it. For a first appointment, tell reception about accessibility or privacy requirements so they can confirm what is available at that branch.
If you are booking for a wedding or another event, work backwards from the time you need to be ready. Leave room for travel and ask about trials, extensions or accessories in advance. For a regular appointment, consider the cost of maintaining the look over a few visits as well as the first price.
