Blue Tit Arvostelua 

beautiful haircut, Roberto had a really lovely manner. a great experience all round. thank you

My first visit to Blue Tit was a wonderful experience. Jenah was welcoming, professional, and highly skilled. My balayage turned out exactly as I wanted. The atmosphere was lovely, and the salon itself is beautiful. I’ll definitely be returning.
Thank you! ♡♡♡

Worst salon experience of my life, no exaggeration. TLDR: I spent £81 to get my hair ruined by a trainee at Blue Tit Peckham and the salon has refused to do anything to rectify it because they say she is a trainee and nothing to do with them. Now I have to spend hundreds to get another salon to fix it.

I hardly ever write reviews but I’m so upset and shocked by the way I’ve been treated. I booked with a vardering trainee stylist and she confirmed that half-head balayage was the right service for the look I wanted. I emphasised I wanted something very subtle and natural on my brown hair and sent her a reference photo from her own Instagram account of a previous client, which she said was achievable. The process was unexpectedly painful and damaging to my hair, as the trainee pulled hard and backcombed strands. I also had fumes from the dye stinging my eyes, which I’ve never had before in a salon or with box dye at home in the past.

The results are absolutely awful. I was shocked as she dried it and didn’t know what to say. I have horrible yellow and orange toned stripy highlights which look terrible with my colouring. It looks nothing like the reference picture I provided. There is no blending whatsoever and it bears no resemblance to balayage. The demarcation between my roots looks dreadful and so harsh, like a bad home dye job. There are randomly loads more highlights on the right side of my head. (I wanted to add pictures to this review but don't think it's possible on Trustpilot. However, I have added photos to my Google Maps review of Blue Tit Peckham).

I had thought being a hair model for a trainee meant they were under supervision from more experienced colleagues and this kind of thing couldn’t happen, but she was under no supervision whatsoever. I went to the café next door and thought I was going to cry. I returned to the salon and the only person around was the trainee. She offered to put lowlights in the following week but I can no longer trust her with my hair. I didn’t even realise how bad the colour was until I got home (as she hadn’t shown me the back with a mirror), and particularly when I woke up the next day and saw it in daylight.

So I phoned the salon and very politely asked my hair to be rectified by someone more experienced. They said they cannot do this because she is a trainee with Blue Tit Academy and essentially nothing to do with them (!) She just works there. This is completely unfathomable to me. The whole reason I entrusted my hair with this trainee in the first place was because of Blue Tit’s reputation for a high calibre of service. I could never have imagined that vardering trainees just work independently in Blue Tit salons, and that Blue Tit Peckham would take no responsibility whatsoever for a stylist working in their own salon. I may as well have just paid a random stranger on the internet £81 to ruin my hair. They said they would escalate my complaint to the academy. They could not give me any assurances that my hair will be fixed by an experienced stylist; they said it might be another vardering trainee (quite frankly, I do not want to risk losing all my hair). I have also separately emailed Blue Tit HQ's general customer service to complain.

Four days after my appointment with the trainee, I haven’t heard anything from Blue Tit, nor have I been given a number I can call. I feel like I’ve paid a lot of money to be a guinea pig for someone who is clearly not ready to be working unsupervised with clients. I haven’t felt able to leave my home without wearing a hat. As someone who doesn’t have a lot of hair following chemo and radiotherapy, it’s also deeply upsetting how much this has damaged my hair – it now has loads of split ends, it looks and feels like straw, and is much thinner overall. I feel I've been given no choice but to book a colour correction at a reliable salon for tomorrow costing hundreds of pounds, and as a low earner this is going to be a big struggle for me.

They are all great hairdressers but the prices are ridiculous. It's way too expensive and unfortunately there's little competition in the area so a lot of us have no choice but to go there!

Abbie at the Clapton Salon did my hair and I love it! She spoke to me in depth about everything that I wanted (colour and cut) and it turned out exactly how I wanted it. She was lovely and friendly, will definitely be returning:)

Lovely appointment as always - so so happy with my result!! Elle is brilliance personified and loved chatting with Ella too - the best head massage!

Had a really good root colour treatment by Trisha at East Village. She took time and did a very thorough job. I was very pleased with the results.

I had a lovely experience getting my curly hair cut in streatham by Federico who did an amazing job!Highly recommend!

Just had my roots done by Erin in Clapton and im really pleased. the whole hair has been blended nicely leaving the highlights exposed as I asked.

Thankyou :) xx

Super welcoming and comfortable and got an amazing trim from Remmy , would definitely recommend the shop :)

Gemma has done my hair twice now and I always walk out feeling amazing. Her blowdrys are incredible and always cheer me up. They last for a really good amount of time and she gets the best volume out of my hair. Can't recommend her enough!!

Had my colour done with Adele at the Portobello branch of Blue Tit. I can’t rate her high enough. Excellent job. Both professional and friendly. I would highly recommend her.

I went to blue tit hair salon for the first time. I was greeted and asked what would I like to drink 🍷 I looked at the list and had gin and tonic followed with popcorn and a glass of water. Which I found welcoming.
My hair was done brilliantly and the hair stylist was very friendly. Would I go back (YES) woolwich se18 very Good 👍🏽 The music was tranquil and great and the hair dresser was called.

I had an exhibition opening and wanted my hair to be up nice. I have very thin hair. I asked for a not too traditional hair up. I left it in George's hands and he did a great job. I felt really happy. I will certainly go there again ...

I have been having my hair cut by Pabina for a few years and she is absolutely amazing, talented and lovely person. Always happy and transformed afterwards. Everyone in the salon is very friendly and the salon has a very good atmosphere. Never used to enjoy going to the hairdressers till now. Thank you!

Ultimately disappointing. I initially had a good experience with one stylist at Blue Tit for 3 visits. That stylist left and I noticed that there'd been a review of pricing across the company. I had been going to have my head shaved with clippers to grade 1 and was worried that I'd be overcharged as a woman. For my first 3 visits, I was charged £36. These were done professionally and with care by the stylist I had though it was just a dry cut and some conditioning after. Then I called back three weeks after my stylist left to make an appointment at either Brixton/Streatham because I could no longer see the pricing for a buzz cut with clippers on the website. I was quoted £80 for a buzz cut! I was told this was because not all stylists have skill with using clippers. Took my business to Headmaster-also extremely reputable with great stylists- they washed my hair, massaged my head, cut my hair with clippers and conditioned my buzz cut all for £30. What a contrast!

Had a great experience getting my hair cut and coloured by Stevie in the East Village salon. I hadn't had my hair coloured before, and they really took the time to explain the different options and what would work best for me. Definitely recommend and will be going back :)

I had the best experience with Bradley of Blue Tit Brixton. Such a lovely man who took a huge amount of time to consult and suggest but he was not remotely pushy. I trusted him throughout and I can honestly say, this has been the best haircut of my life. Thanks so much Bradley - not only are you super talented but you're a lovely man with it too.

My son and I had a fantastic experience at Bluetit Portobello. A lovely bunch of people! Genuinely soulful and uplifting! Finn washed our hair, a rising star! We had our hair cut by Charlie who is just superb! Lovely person and a great stylist! Lovely Kamila who is part owner was so warm too! We highly recommend!! Thank you guys and see you soon!

A great men's cut by Gemma at the Peckham Salon. A really modern thoughtful haircut, and had great chats too. I have wavy hair and don't suit a severe cut so was really happy with the results. I'm a repeat customer now, already booked in for the next one!
