Rockalily Cuts

Rockalily’s is a small hair salon on Kingsland Road in Hackney that is quite unassuming from the outside but inside is vintage heaven with its mismatched old dressers and old-​fashioned barber chairs. The service they offer is a little different from your regular hairdresser. When I arrived I was offered tea, coffee or a beer! Sadly I can’t drink the stuff so I stuck to a good ol’ cuppa which came in a cup as equally quirky as the décor.
Rockalily’s specialise in vintage and rockabilly hair styles although their main aim is simply to make you fall in love with your hair again. They certainly achieved this with me. As I’m sure I’ve complained about many times before I have very fine hair which basically doesn’t hold any kind of style so when the lovely Kelsie asked how I wanted my hair blow dried (I can’t be the only person who gets stumped by this question can I?) I asked for as much volume as she could possibly get. She did a stellar job and my hair held some volume not only for the rest of the day but the following day too! I had NO idea that my hair could look so damn good and it’s reinforced the fact that they’re really good value for money as they last longer than a home blow dry. A blow dry at Rockalily’s costs £25 which is about average for London and worth every penny.

These guys really know their stuff! I chanced a walk in one rainy day and they accommodated me immediately. Had me a stylish short back and sides, long on top in no time and my do coiffures perfect every time. The cut lasted me 2 months before needing a tidy up. Super happy with this joint!
