Client Testimonials

I absolutely love my hairdresser — she’s truly the best! I don’t think I could ever trust anyone else with my hair. Fatos has helped me take such good care of it over the years and has really boosted my confidence. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also such a lovely person. Over time, she’s become more than just my hairdresser — she’s a good friend too. Highly, highly recommend her!

I’ve been going to Fatos for my balayage for years and wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair. She always knows exactly what I need and gets the colour perfect every time. Her attention to detail and expertise are second to none — I always leave feeling great.

Amanda Williams

Fatos has been doing my hair since 2022, i’ve now moved out of London, and still travel to get my hair done by her, this is because she takes care of my hair when bleaching it and understands exactly what I want every time, she nails it! Fatos has always been so welcoming and friendly. Can’t wait to visit her new salon x

Emina

Fatos is truly the best colourist I’ve ever had! With her experience from working in other countries, she brings such amazing skill and creativity to her work. She’s so passionate about what she does and always takes the time to make sure her clients are happy. On top of that, she’s incredibly kind and welcoming – every visit feels special. You can’t go wrong with her, and I definitely recommend checking out her new place!

I first met Fatosh during Covid and I’ve been hooked ever since! Fatosh is an immensely talented hairdresser! She is a great listener and discussed my needs thoroughly.

Sarah

I’ve had balayage done with Fatos and each experience has been amazing, I fell back in love with myself! She is so talented and always makes sure the colour looks natural and beautifully blended. She’s incredibly accommodating, explains everything clearly, and talks you through the products and aftercare so you know exactly how to look after your hair. I always leave feeling so confident — she’s amazing and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Thank you Fatos!!

Melissa

I absolutely loved everytime you’ve done my hair and you always done my hair better than I expected

Key

I’ve been seeing Fatos for about 2 years now and I honestly don’t know how I ever lived without her in my life! She’s a true artist who listens (actually listens!) to what I want, but also gently steers me in the right direction when I’m being indecisive.. Every single time I leave her chair I feel like the most polished, confident version of myself. The color is always flawless, the cut grows out like a dream, and the way she styles it makes me feel like I just stepped off a magazine shoot. Beyond the technical skill (which is off the charts), she’s just the kindest and most genuine human, who I now call my friend. If you’re lucky enough to get in her chair, cancel whatever else you had planned that day because you’re going to want to stare at yourself in every window you pass. Run, don’t walk. Fatos is pure magic. Thank you for always making me feel like a million bucks! Love you!!

Lisa Marie

I’ve had a Brazilian keratin treatment twice and both times have been fantastic. This treatment helped me find my spark again. She is professional, friendly, and really knows what she’s doing. She takes the time to explain the process, the products, and the aftercare, which is so helpful. My hair has never felt smoother or looked better. Highly recommend — I always come back!

Bebi

Fatos has magic in her hands! I have been coming to her for my hair for the last 4 years and everytime, I have had nothing but the best balayage and treatments on my hair. She ensures my hair is left undamaged, and the exact colour I want. I don’t know what I would do without her years worth of experience & talent! She makes me feel like I’m at home, and is truly like family to me. She even nailed the exact hair colour I wanted for all my engagement events – thank you again Fatos for everything, I cannot recommend her enough
