Really love my short cut by Vicky, pleasant experience.
My daughter had her hair coloured and cut - hairdresser did a beautiful job and she is very happy with it
Oscar is AMAZING. I came from another salon, who absolutely ruined my hair (broke my hair off with bleach, and then made my hair practically black- when I asked them to rectify it, their solution was to make my hair even darker, which I didn’t want). I googled a colour correction specialist in Essex... and Gary Pellicci came up, and I’m so glad they did. I chose to go to Oscar, based on reviews he received, and I’m so happy I did. Oscar was patient, kind and listened. Understandably, I was nervous about visiting a new salon, but he put me at ease straight away. He took two stand tests from different sections of my hair, and I could see the difference in density. Through these strand tests, Oscar explained he would have to do different processes, low peroxide and that it would be a process. I trusted the process, and he took my hair from extremely dark ends, with demarkation lines and some grey thrown in, to making me a beautiful caramel colour, with demi permanent roots so my greys blend in as it grows. I was getting engaged (which added to the worry I felt about my hair), and I look back at the pictures and look light, bright and like myself. Oscar is a literal hair god. Today was my second visit back, and I can’t explain how happy I am with my hair, and how glad I am to have found someone who actually cares about what I want, but more importantly, the integrity of my hair! Thank you Oscar! read more
Thank you Charlotte

I booked a last minute appointment with Sydnee for highlights and I am so glad that I did. It was my first visit to this salon and the team were all friendly and welcoming. More importantly, Sydnee took the time to understand the colours that I wanted and the end result is exactly as I’d hoped. Very... happy! read more
I have never loved my hair as much as I have since Oscar has been doing my balayage, cut & blow drys. He takes on board everything I ask for and does it perfectly every time. Overall such a lovely salon to go to.
Charlotte K coloured my hair so beautifully, took so much time and care with my foils. Thank you it is so lovely to meet you! See you in 10 weeks x
Simply the best!
The whole experience from the moment I walked through the door was amazing, the welcome was warm the staff was friendly and the cut, colour and highlights were great! Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommended for a professional service and awesome results!
Nice place, great haircuts. Recently I went with a different hairstylist and he made me excited about my hair again. Every time I pass a mirror a smile.
Thank you Sarah for the haircut correction ,exactly the look I was looking for

I was very impressed with my first visit to the salon. Chloe did an amazing job of my lockdown hair cut and box colour attempts and over the moon with the results. Everyone was very friendly, lots of hand sanitisers about and plenty of tea. Highly recommend and will be going back.

Absolutely superb hairdressers. Professional and super friendly, always feel welcome here. Talented staff!

Have been coming here for at least ten years have to say its the best hairdressers i have ever used previous to that i had a bad experience either a few hairdressers and was worried about trying out gary pellichi's i needn't have worried though because Ben cuts my hair exactly the way i want it.

First visit to this salon. I had trouble at another one as I really hated the colour it was too white blonde and I kept asking for it to look more natural. Vicky did a fantastic job, and I really like how the colouring is done in a quite area. Am coming back soon , but this time want concentrate on...getting a bit more shape in the cut. I'm very fussy! But very pleased so far. read more

Love coming into the salon, such a lovely team and walked out with an amazing new colour and cut! Can't wait to book back into to have the magic worked on my hair again! XO

I always enjoy this salon experience and that's what keeps me going back. The one main thing is that they ALL actually listen!
Thanks guys.

I came in yesterday and I loved my hair cut and blowdry, it looked the best ever and stayed looking fab all night. Thank you.

I always look and feel better after leaving your lovely salon!

5/5 excellent service very pleased

A great salon 🙂

Extremely luxury feel. Treated well, greeted by smart looking professionals, could not fault customer service at this hair salon. Have been back three times now and looking forward to going again

a FAB salon

A great salon

Top class Salon with highly experienced professional staff. I always feel like I am treated the best & come out feeling like a new woman! I love going here & can never fault this wonderful place!

Best Ever - cut is always perfect. Plenty of compliments from friends!!

Staff are always friendly. I am always asked what I want done, nothing is assumed even though I am here every fortnight!

Being a client for 13 years and travelling from out of the area speaks for itself. I highly value the welcoming experience, the hospitality, professional service of every member of staff and a great end result. People I come into contact with still comment on the colour and cut and ask who my hairdr...esser is. read more

I was always a little scared about going to the hairdressers due to a bad experience with a hairdresser in Chingford.
Then oneday I was passing Gary Pellichi's hairdressers and decided to give in to my fears.
I am so happy I did because I would nevet go anywhere else now.
Really love my short cut by Vicky, pleasant experience.
