Recommendation for Blue Tit hair salon, Peckham Rye

[eleanorjane]

Another beautiful cut by Bradley at Blue Tit on Peckham Rye. I'm really pleased to have found this place, lovely service, good advice, everyone knows their stuff, you feel very safe in their hands. The interior is beautiful too. A glass of wine, and a nice chat with Bradley, all very relaxing. Everyone who leaves looks amazing. The products they use, and sell, are great too.

Just looked at their price list and there is a substantial difference between 'boys' and 'girls' cuts. How discriminatory. Plus their 'girls' price is higher than the Galleon.

I love Blue tit too - Tomorrow is their charity day all profits are going to this charity found out when I went in to book my app - what're the chances of that?

Thank you Eleanor Jane and Alice for your kind words. We hold charity days every year in each of our Salons and this year all profits made at our Peckham salon will be donated to a local South London charity called Down's South which is a parent run charity supporting children with Down's Syndrome and their families. We are so pleased to hear you booked in today and part of the fundraising. Over the Christmas period we are also collecting any old toys that you no longer use that we will wrap up in the salon put under our Christmas Tree and give out to children in care at Christmas. Thank you again for all your support and Merry Christmas xx

Bluetitlondon, I note you haven't commented on your sexist prices? Why? Strange.

[NewWave]

Sorry but I have to say I find it quite normal to have different pricing for mens and womens cuts-I always expect to pay more as a woman.

I think its the norm and not sexist at all...I've been to local salons and West end famous name ones and I really don't have a problem with this.

[alice]

check out every hairdresser you pass - that pricing style is standard

They are brilliant tho' knocks socks off most local offerings

Hi Callie, we appreciate your message as we strive to be as fairness is our highest priority. There are a few reasons for the price difference; a lot more work goes into cutting girls hair such as more sectioning which require more trained skills. Girls also get a blow dry to finish which in itself is hard work and gents usually don't get. There are more products used on female hair, more shampoo and conditioner and more styling products used when drying and styling the hair. It generally takes longer for a girls cut and finish. I hope this helps. Thanks for your message.

I would have thought women were, on the whole, less inclined to go in for a short back and sides?

I've been to Bluetit a few times now and been very impressed with each visit. Staff are lovely and they really know their stuff. Love having this addition to the area

Not everyone 'girl' wants a blow dry, so do you have a price that reflects that? Most salons do.

I recently went to Bluetit for the first time and I loved it. I usually get my hair cut in town but will be returning. There are plenty of hairdressers around and if you have objections to paying the prices in one there are lots of others that will happily take your cash .

We are lucky enough to live in an area with lots of choice - if you don't like whats on offer somewhere rather than expect them to change for your (single) view you ae bound to find somewhere that meets your needs. Then everyone is happy.

Lots of hairdressers offer cuts without blow drys, or only a rough dry, so my view is not a single one, despite your statement.

Lots of hairdressers offer cuts without blow drys, inc Headnizm, or only a rough dry, which they don't charge for, so my view is not a single one, despite your statement. Blow drys on their own often cost ?25-?30 pounds so they would seem to make up the majority of the time needed for a hair appt. And, if you have short hair, it's very unlikely you would need a blow dry.

[woodland]

that's good news then - you've found a place that meets your requiremetns and it's local. Sounds like Headnizm is the place for you. I'm glad that there is something to suit everyone.

Update on everyone's favourite hipster hairdresser...

New branch opening in Brockley and it will be managed by "Bradley" formerly of Peckham and a "top cutter".

Message ends.

Tried Bluetit at end February as I couldn't get an appointment with Kuki's my usual hairdresser. Cut was good but pricey but not on same level as Kuki.
