Join us in our warm, relaxing, homely lounge, adorned with antique décor, luxurious furniture, and a record player you’re welcome to put your own vinyls on.

Modern in all the right ways…
We’re proud to be partnered with two world-class tour-de-forces of the hairdressing world: Goldwell and Dyson. Goldwell’s renowned products cover all bases: Elumen for permanent colour, Colorance for semi-permanent dye, Silklift for lightening, Kerasilk for after-care, et al. True cutting-edge colour. And Dyson’s Super Sonic hair dryer is an engineering marvel: lightweight, powerful, and near-silent, with a range of magnetic attachments for varied finishes: smooth, precise, curly, or textured.
…and beautifully traditional in the rest
Our modern methods are expertly blended with a heartfelt passion for the traditions of the past. We masterfully unite the science of colouring with the art of cutting and caring for hair, creating vibrant looks that suit the style and sensitivity of every unique head of hair. From consultation and dressing/colouring to after-care and touch-ups, our love for mixing the old and the new is reflected in the journey between our stylishly bright main salon space and our regal, antique-laden Colour Lounge room.
Hairvoyance: Balayage and Ombré demystified
A remedy for the noisy beauty expectations of the digital age
Edited Instagram photos have created a disconnect between colourists and clients when discussing balayage, ombré, and other such vague terms that are often misused across social media.
We created ‘HAIRVOYANCE’, a series of four distinct looks portrayed through a set of stunning Tarot illustrations, to give you a clearer vision of the style you desire. Each card also details recommended upkeep for maintaining your look.
WANDS
Quick, but visually effective. Upkeep: every six to eight weeks. Great as an additional extra to the Lady of the Swords. After-care: Colour Vitality Shampoo & Conditioner for colour longevity + shine.
CUPS
Effortless multi-tonal balayage. The natural appearance of Cups makes for a gentle introduction to hair colouring. Creates movement and texture. A popular look for Instagram! Ideal for styling hair into beach waves. Upkeep: every eight to 12 weeks. Toned every four weeks. After-care: Kerasilk Colour Shampoo and Conditioner for maintenance.
PENTACLES
Soft regrowth = no harsh lines. Upkeep: every eight to 12 weeks. Toned every four weeks. After-care: Kerasilk Reconstruct Shampoo & Conditioner.
SWORDS
The ‘classic ombré’. Low maintenance (without root colour). Beautifully-married with Wands. Upkeep: every 10 to 12 weeks. Toned every four weeks, especially for more vibrant colours. Aft.er-care: Kerasilk Colour Shampoo & Conditioner

“I was very worried about getting my curly hair cut as I know my hair can be very difficult! But Jayne was a dream! Did a dry cut — curl by curl — to get the best layering for my hair. And let me bring my own products with me to wash my hair after (I follow the CGM). So, the biggest thank-you! You made me feel so at ease, and my curly cut is everything I wanted and more.”

“I couldn’t recommend this hair salon more. I had a hair disaster from colouring my own hair and the whole team was so supportive and I felt really looked after. Shannon worked for hours to fix it and the end result was lovely! Thank you so much for all the help and dedication from everyone. Best hairdressers — highly recommend.”
— Vivien
“The hairdressers are all so friendly. You are offered a beverage on arrival and they take your coats. Real luxury treatment! I love the way my hair looks and feels after and would recommend them to anyone. They do student discounts on certain days too!”
— Summer
“I had the most amazing experience at Tony Wood Hair. As a hijabi (someone who wears a headscarf) I’ve always struggled to find an accommodating salon for my hair needs as I require the privacy. Tony Wood Hair was so brilliant in accommodating a private space for me, and Tia was so respectful and caring, and did a brilliant job with my balayage! I absolutely love the atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff — the manager was so polite and very professional. I’ve recommended this salon to all my friends and family and can’t wait to go back for my touch-up!”
— Aamina
“I’ve been coming to Tony Wood Hair since 2015, and I’d never go anywhere else again, even though I live in London now. I’d rather travel to get my hair done here! I always see Tanahya for the best balayage ever and I trust absolutely any of the other stylists and/or juniors to cut my hair. I always walk out with incredible results and transformations and get the best advice. Lovely reception team, too!”
— Célia
“First time ever getting my hair actually coloured and cut! I had been umming and aahing for well over a year whilst stalking the salon’s Insta page. Finally took the plunge and Laura was an absolute angel! She was great in my consultation and great doing my hair. She was lovely and friendly and I honestly don’t want anyone else doing my hair ever again. Everyone was so friendly — other stylists that weren’t even dealing with me were friendly and I was constantly checked on if I needed anything or if I was comfortable. Laura absolutely amazed — I described to her what I wanted and gave her a vague idea and she more than delivered. I am beyond happy. I’ll be coming back to Tony Wood Hair for the foreseeable future, that’s for sure!”
— Gabriella
“My first visit to Tony Wood Hairdressing, and will not be the last. Elsie was lovely, funny, and made me feel very relaxed. She was fantastic in maintaining my privacy at the salon. Love the colour and cut — my hair feels great! Thank you Elsie.”
— Famida
“This salon is so different to others. Full of creative hair stylists and a wonderfully friendly atmosphere too.”
— Toni
“My son has his hair cut here every couple of months and I wouldn’t take him anywhere else! Shannon is fantastic — she cuts and styles his thick hair perfectly and she is so friendly and kind to him. He loves having his hair washed, and always looks forward to his visit to see Shannon for his hair cut.”
— Lucy
“Just had my third appointment with the lovely Laura. Will most definitely stick to this hairdressers as Laura has done a fantastic job on my hair. My hair is very dark naturally and so it’s very hard to lighten, but Laura has done an outstanding job. She's got to know my hair in a very short time. I would most definitely recommend this salon — especially Laura!”
