Butchers Hair Salon

A Londoners lifestyle is fast paced, there are no two ways about it. I’ve found since moving here finding time to complete the simplistic tasks such as shopping, washing my clothes and tidying my room (hmmm massive excuse?) has simply disappeared. My life has become a flurry of instant coffee, wearing pants for 3 days straight and paper plates.

Buuuutt now my hair looks like a scarecrows nest, as getting it cut is another of those tasks which has fallen by the wayside. However last Saturday, upon recommendation of my housemate, I headed to independent hairdressers BUTCHERS in Hackney for a good pamper.

Having your hair sorted at Butchers isn’t your run of the mill hairdressing experience. When you first ease into the chair you are offered a choice of 3 oils. Upon a decision, you are treated to a head and shoulder massage. Bliss!

Then you have a chat with your hairdresser on the plan of action. I opted for a cut and blow dry, and was lead to the basin for another warm water massage. Back to the chair and 30 mins later my hair was renewed!

Founders Kate and Susannah wanted a whole mind and body spiritual experience, and that is exactly what you get. They have created a calming oasis in the heart of Hackney. Plus the tunes are pretty good too (they were defo playing my fave band of the moment Jungle!)

This is not just a haircut. This is a therapeutic, worry sapping, muscle relaxing Butchers haircut. Head down and check it out for yourself. But be warned you may never go back to your local!
