Review in The Telegraph Online, Nov 2011

When I was asked to review Feel I was overjoyed. I’ve been having my hair cut at Feel for the last seven years, so when it comes to reviewing it, it’s pretty easy. I can still remember my first haircut. Heath (probably the best person I know who really understands hair) listened to what I wanted and understood the importance of a good haircut.  He knows too well that it’s not just about having a trim, but the way it makes you feel afterwards – he’s correct.  The end result makes me look and feel better than before I walked in.

Located at 83 Berwick Street, Feel possess a funky space; white walls, red floors, crisp finish, yet it doesn’t shout ‘pretentious’ like the majority of salons you come across.  Feel understand women’s hair just as well as men’s.  They have a good team and you actually don’t feel insecure when you are there.  Friendly, personable and fun…and most importantly great with hair, as you should expect.  

I probably don’t want to rave about it too much as it’s a gem I don’t want to share, but I’m a firm believer that when there is something good out there, you should really shout about it.  P.S. They have a great playlist of music…I think they should brand it up and sell it!

Verdict: 9.5/10

 

Gavin has been in charge of my hair for years....and long may it continue, he's excellent.  All the staff are friendly and personable, the atmosphere is fun and chilled, an oasis in the middle of Soho. I've no intention of going anywhere else as long as there's hair on my head and as long as Gavin's hands don't drop off!

"Stelios was recommended to me by a friend who recently had her hair cut by him. Having seen what a fantastic job he did to her hair, I decided to try Stelios and make a change from my usual hairdresser of 10 years as I tend to get extremely nervous using new stylists. Stelios did an amazing job with my hair and knew exactly how I wanted it without me having to do too much explaining. He is extremely professional in his technique. Highly recommended!"

"I just wanted to let you know that the result is FANTASTIC. My hair never looked so glossy or healthy, the Brazillian treatment is the best thing ever, and I just wanted to let you know. Thankyou so much."

 "It was my first time at Feel, with a very bad experience from my last hair dressers I was not sure. Having read the reviews I wanted to check it out for myself and I must say I was very impressed with the level of service received. I was in good hands and Kristen did a wonderful job to my hair, if I had a before and after picture you would definately see the difference. Kristen most surely was interested to know what I really wanted from this hair cut and did exactly what I wanted rather than what the hairdresser wanted, I would highly recommend this salon to anyone and would surely stick with having Kristen cut my hair always. Also the hair wash was amazing and that hair mask did wonders I am truely happy for what it was worth.... It was definately worth every penny."

"I've been going to Feel in Soho for haircuts for over a year now. Ever since my first visit, the staff have alway been extremely welcoming and friendly as soon as walk through the door. I have Kristen cut and style my hair, she consistently cut my hair to a high standard, and alway suggest smart little changes to keep my hair up to date and on trend, but is never pushy. Im extremely fussy with regards to my hair, but can now relax and enjoy my appointments, thanks to the excellent professional service I receive from the going to Feel. A definite must if you want that perfect haircut."

"Well, I really have no words :p I have very long long hair and keep it as chemical and blow dry free as possible... I am very particular about choosing my hairdresser's because I treasure my hair as a second self...so far I had mostly disappointing experiences...I used to live in Oxford and then moved to London... nowhere before have I found such neat service from all the staff...the receptionist was so nice, lovely Yolanda who cut my hair was so nice, and generally everybody was nice ... Yolanda was eagered to find out what I wanted the cut to be like, she was very attentive and sweet ;) I loved the massage when she washed my hair as well... I also met Heath, who I immediately figured that he must be the owner... He was extremely nice and polite and had a smile for everyone...very good sense of smell as well :p but that is another story ;) ... anyway, overall, it was the best hairdressing experience for years, this will definitely be "my" hairdresser's in London ;) ...I would recommend it for anyone, but most especially, to women or men who really have strong ideas about what their haircut should be like ;) oh, and by the way, their prices are definetely very reasonable too ;) ...A.*** "

"This salon is perfect from the staff, decor and music! Everyone is exceptionally kind and professional at Feel! I got my hair done by Roberto and he was so professional and patient with my hair! I am new to the area and I will never go anywhere else!!"

Kelly Jandrucko

 

"After several disappointing haircuts over the years, I hadn't had the confidence (or trust) to get my hair cut for more than 3 years. But, with long, thick, rather unmanagble hair that was in dire need of a re-vamp, I took a chance on Feel... I am so glad that I did! Kristen did a fantastic job making me feel at ease and delivering the sort of results that have even made people in the street stop and ask me where I had my hair styled. I feel so much more confident now, I would really recommend Feel and have finally found a stylist and a salon that I can settle down with."

Chloe Harries

 

"After travelling in Europe for a month my hair needed some TLC so I went to Feel - Kristen took the time to know exactly what I wanted but also what my hair needed, and I left the salon wishing I could go back to feel and Kristen every week!!"

Melanie Napper

 

"I used to prefer a visit to the dentist to getting my hair cut.  Then a friend who always has great hair recommended Heath at Feel and I finally found someone I trust.  I now look forward to getting my hair cut and, having lived in India for the past 3 years, it is the first thing I do when I visit London."

Nicky Klein

 

"After having a bad colour at the last salon I went to, I was rather nervous about having my colour done again. I however was recommended Kristen by a friend. I found her very knowledgeable, confidant and full of ideas. She spent time talking to me about what I wanted and the best way to achieve it. I left the salon very happy. I have received compliments from friends, family, colleagues and even a lady on the tube asked me where I had my hair done. I have never been happier with my hair. I will never go anywhere else now, I'm hooked on Kristen."

Louise

 

"Feel is a great, unpretentious place that keeps me looking sharp all year! It's important to find a good hairdresser in London. Nadia has been cutting my hair now for a couple of years. I won't go to anyone else. Keep up the good work."

Dan

 

"Roberto cut my hair and it was one of those brave moments you have in life, when you really want a change, a totally new 'look' and you go to a hair salon you do not know and have your hair cut by someone who has never cut your hair before! Given the risk, it could have left me crying and wearing a wig for several months after - instead, i came out with a fantastic haircut; stylish and easy to manage that all my friends love. What was really great about Roberto, is he knew what I wanted but also suggested how to do it so it really suited me. By the way, the cut is like the 'yeah,yeah,yeah' girl when she had the heavy-mop bowl-head!"

Zia Trench

 

"I have been having my hair cut and coloured at Feel for the past 6 years and would now never go anywhere else. Heath is the only stylist I have found who consistently cuts my hair exactly the way I want it, anticipates when I feel like a change, and always ensures I walk out of the salon feeling fantastic."

Becky Fuller, MD, Rabbit Vocal Management.

 

"Heath was recommended to me by a number of friends about 4 years ago, and I have not looked back since. Heath is not only a great hairdresser but listens, takes on board how YOU style your hair, and always gives a perfect cut and colour every time. The FEEL staff are very welcoming, professional and friendly - it is always a joy to have your hair cut at FEEL".

Lorna Mann, Lionsgate UK

 

"My friend recommended I go see Heath in 2000 and I haven't been to any other hairdresser since.  With thick curly hair, finding a hairdresser who understands curly hair, let alone knows what to do with it is a rare find indeed.  I've sent a number of friends to Heath and Feel and they are now converts too.  If you're at your wits end with hairdressers, give Feel a try, you'll wonder why you ever tried anywhere else!"

Lianne

 

"Heath has been cutting my hair for over 12 years since his early days in Soho. Now in his own fantastic salon, 'Feel' on Berwick Street, he continues to style my hair. I completely trust him to do what he thinks will work, as from day one he has utilised his skill and vision to cut and style my hair in ways that are flattering, individual and for me practical. We discuss what I want and then he will suggest a twist or detail that make it a hairstyle, not just a hair cut.  I always leave the salon feeling glamourous and that I have a had a completely personal experience.  I can not recommend Heath at Feel enough! "

Amanda Tinker

 

"Heath has given me the best hair cut I have ever had.  This is no exaggeration.  Finally, I have found my hair guru.  As an actor it's important to look the part.  He makes me look the part."

Archie Whyld, actor

 

"The service that you get from all the staff at Feel is fantastic. Staff are very attentive and always make sure you're happy. I've been getting my hair cut by Heath @  Feel now for a good few years and wouldn't want to go anywhere else."

Duncan MacInnes

 

"Heath has been cutting my hair for about ten years now and I swear I hate to let anyone else near me with a pair of scissors. He's a fantastic stylist who has taken a lot of care and attention over the years in getting to know my hair and the styles I like. For the past five years I've lived abroad and Feel is almost always my first stop off the plane on arriving back in the UK; I've even been known to fit in the odd trip back just so I can get my hair cut! All in all, everyone at Feel is great and everything about the salon is professionally top notch; I'd recommend them to anyone."

Tess

 

"Heath has been cutting my hair now for 6 years. His attention to detail, patience and knowledge of what cut will suit my hair is second to none. I wouldn't go anywhere else and everyone I have recommended has gone back."
