The Best Beauty Salons And Hairdressers in Hackney, Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

I've been coming to see Moon for my haircuts for the past few years. Not only they have great hairdressing skills - they know how to deeply listen to you with attention, love and care - I've always left the salon with exactly what I had in mind. Extremely wonderful, sweet, welcoming and kind human. Thank you Moon, see you next time x The salon is clean, spacious and if you love good music that's another bonus, music is top notch :)

Ive been coming here a few years cuz it was my local salon in Hackney. Nice atmosphere and always good tunes on - makes a difference when you have to spend a while somewhere! I get my hair cut by James who’s super lovely and I’m always happy with the results.

My first time using this salon and I could not be happier with what I got. Today I was seen by Moon who worked MAGIC on my hair!! 5 stars isn’t enough. Amazing consultation, amazing service, amazing atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend and I will certainly be going back.

I'm always really nervous about haircuts but today Moon made me feel so comfortable, helped me figure out what I wanted, and made me look and feel more like myself than I have in a long time. I came away feeling so happy and confident - smiled all the way home!

I’ve been going to Alkaline and particularly Erika for my haircuts for several years now and received so many compliments for my hair ever since! A few other friends of mine started going to her now as well :) She completely understands my preferences - highly recommend!

Erika is amazing, the best hairdresser I've had in London. She is very professional, listens carefully to what you'd like and always checks mid cut as well. I've been coming for cuts and colour for over a year and leave happy every time. As well as being professional she is lovely and very funny. The studio is also in a great location, relaxed and good options for coffee etc close by if you are there for a while getting colour done. Always a pleasure to visit Erika at Alkaline.

Recently moved to the area and was recommend Erika. She has managed to turn my difficult miserable curly hair in to a happy head of curls and colour ( balayage). It’s the best hair cut and colour I’ve had. She’s profession and just gets it !! She also stocks and uses my favourite hair product brand Davines. Can’t recommend her enough Thankyou Erika

3 times now that Erica is looking after my hair at Alkaline. Balayage, haircut and hairstyling for my birthday were amazing and I left every time very happy and lifted! We know how complicated it is to find a gem hairdresser, well her expertise is guaranteed!

I always get the best hair cut here for a great price. Ekrem always knows what I’m asking for and he delivers everytime

I tell everyone I know about this hairdressers. I always love the cut and it’s such good value.

I cannot thank you enough for my new haircut and style! Very very happy :) Worth every penny. I’ve spent a lot of money on haircuts before and they were always disappointing.. I highly recommend this salon.

One of the best cuts I have ever had at a VERY reasonable price. Perfect blow wave too. Thanks Ekrem, you are a superstar!

Mel is the best at BIAB and nail art! I always get compliments on every design she does, and they last for such a long time. Mel is so lovely, I've never been disappointed and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else!

I was so happy to find Mel and harmless beauty. Mel is lovely and always makes sure it’s a relaxed environment and the results are always perfect. I go there for my eyebrows and she always remembers how I like having them done :) Highly recommend!

Mel is a wizard. She is a strong and stable genius. She is creative, warm and open to any crazy and fun designs. Pay this woman to do your nails, brows, lashes or waxing - you won’t regret it! She takes such great care to make sure you’re happy with the finished result, and her BIAB lasts ages. Brow lamination is also super long lasting.

Absolutely love getting my nails done here! I’ve been a regular for over a year now and I’m never disappointed - thank you Mel! So much care and attention to detail every time, hidden gem!!

I had a great experience in the expert hands of Mazeda! Welcoming, kind, professional, clean, fast and super nice. Treatment was spotless and I didn’t even get my usual redness thanks to the good quality products used. it was so nice I wished it lasted longer… 10 stars!!

Mazeda is really talented and caring. I have tried plenty of waxing services and she’s very professional. I keep returning back here and always recommend her services. The 5 stars rating are on point, thank you!

I’ve been going to Mazeda for over a year now and she is a true professional! She is so meticulous but also fast- and also so personable. Highly recommend

It’s always such a great experience going to see Mazeda. She makes you feel so relaxed and at ease and like you are chatting away with an old friend. Hollywood wax is the least painful I have ever experienced, and is also very quick! Would highly recommend

Shedia at Dalston is the best - she's not only fantastic at colour, cut and styling she's super lovely and respectful of how you want to do things. I don't like to talk much when I go for my hair and after a quick catch up she leaves me in peace to enjoy the process of having my hair done and never makes me feel bad for doing so. She is always open to changes and again never makes you feel bad or uncomfortable for saying 'please can we change this'. She's great, the rest of the staff are always so welcoming, and can't do enough for you, always checking if you need a refreshed drink etc. Great salon, very reasonably priced, 100% recommend to anyone.

Got my hair done by Sarah at the Dalston branch and had such a lovely experience. Such a friendly and kind hairdresser who knows her stuff. It’s super affordable here for a cut and blow dry, so i def recommend. A beautiful space and beautiful team!

I was so lucky to be recommend Foster by a friend when I first moved into the area! Relaxing interiors, a friendly face when you first walk in and a brilliant service. Aurora is absolutely lovely, she gives a thorough consultation for my cut and blow dry, and it looks amazing each time. Thank you x

Not been able to get to Mysa for a while. Went today hoping to get help with my long over due hair. Was welcomed and not at all judged. Was asked what I needed. Cut a long story short. Came out with a great colour and a great cut. Would thoroughly recommend mysa. Not snooty. Xx

Absolutely amazing experience. The salon owner is so lovely and helpful, and she did my highlights better than expected. A very clean and beautifully decorated hair salon with beauty services also. Don't believe I had this place near me and never visited before. Highly recommended by me personally. 💝 Revisit: Again, amazing ❤️ Again revisit for a trim, perfect 🥰

Really happy with my balayage and haircut from Mysa! They took a lot of care to lighten my hair gently to stop it from getting damaged, love the final colour and cut. They also kept checking if I needed any more drinks or chocolates. Will definitely be going back :)

I've had my hair cut and styled several times by the owner. She does a great job. Really well worth waiting for an appointment

I had an amazing experience at sheer bliss! Dorina did an amazing job at styling my hair. It came out exactly how I wanted it. The customer service was also excellent; the staff made sure to accommodate my needs as a hijabi. I’ll definitely be coming back.

I had a very positive experience at sheer bliss today. I came in with uneven hair and left with an amazing haircut that I absolutely love. The service was great and I cannot recommend Dorina enough! She's incredibly talented, professional and polite and she really listened to me. Overall, it was a great experience and I will be returning to sheer bliss again!

I had a balayage done by Hans and he did the most incredible job! Absolutely love love how the colour turned out, it was exactly what I wanted from the photo that I showed him ❤️ Hans was friendly and professional and took the time to listen, and go through the process with me. Also a big thank you to everyone else who joined in and assisted!! Thank you Hans ☺️

Haircut, manicure and eyebrow wax. If you’re lucky enough to get Han to cut your hair, you’ll not be disappointed. He listened to what I wanted and completely transformed me. I’m so so happy with the cut. Manicures - you’ll not find better in London. Eyebrows are perfect. Thank you so much. Great team incredibly friendly, just the best.

I came here to get my tan done for a Fitness photo shoot. they were very nice and affordable, and the results were amazing. I would deffo recommend to anyone

I have been going to dolled up for my hair appointments for a while now and they always do an amazing job. I have had extension refits, colour changes, different cuts and they nail it everytime! The whole team are lovely (and dolly the dog is v cute 🐶 ) It’s also so nice to be offered a coffee and drinks regularly throughout the appointment especially when you’re there for a few hours it makes the experience all the more comfortable.

I went in for a wax, which I haven’t done in forever so it was very reassuring that Ellis knew what she was doing and was extremely friendly and made me feel comfortable and relaxed, the atmosphere was also a bonus. Really good service and I was very satisfied with the experience and outcome! Highly recommended!
