Windle and Moodie

Posted: Jul 18 2011 3 Users say 5/5 Rate it

'From catwalk to the kerb' is Windle & Moodie's mantra, and few are more qualified to do so. Following a revamp last year, its Covent Garden salon features 2,500 square feet of styling space, plastered with shots of its greatest cuts - from Kate Moss hair-swishing in Vogue to Gwyneth Paltrow's enviable choppy bob. Everyone from the receptionist to the in-house hair blogger is disarmingly friendly, and features such as mood lighting by wash stations make it easy to relax. The new speed styling service (£25), created by hairdressers who often work backstage at shows, is the most fashion-savvy in London. And the ingenious addition of speed colouring (£35 for 45mins) makes it an ideal spot for a lavish lunchbreak.

As a treat my husband booked me a haircut and colour at Windle and Moodie. I knew I wanted change and I'm very glad I went for it. I went from long dull post pregnancy hair to short and brightened colour. It's definitely given me a make-over feeling and feels absolutely great. In addition to that the whole experience was fantastic, the shampoo dark room and the personal touch when blow drying and finishing your hair to your personal request.

Since then people have commented on how great it looks, how well it suits my face and my husband loves it. As for style maintenance it's minimal, that's one of the things I love about it, quick and easy and looks great. I'm very glad I went there!

I had a fantastic experience and have the haircut to show and prove it, I'll definitely be re-visiting on my next trip to London.

I have been visiting London for extended periods over the last 2 or so years. At times I am in dire need of a touchup to my roots so I decided to try this salon. I made the appointment online and got a response the next day. Reception suggested a senior colorist per my request, and a stylist based on my appointment time. Takashi, my colorist, paid painstaking attention to understanding the state of my hair and what to do with it. He explained the ins and outs of temporary and permanent color and an appropriate shade for my skin. After shampoo he checked it several times. Very professional and competent! Bon was my stylist. He also took time to learn what it was I wanted to do and gave me alot of information regarding the cuts and how they would grow out. He did a great job on dusting and cleaning my cut and thinned it out as well. Sadly he leaves the salon shortly. They were both very competent and instilled alot of confidence in me. (I have been known to jump up mid-cut and leave if I felt the stylist was too junior.) I will go again and hope they are both still there next time. For visitors from the US, try this place!!!!!
