I had a Keratin treatment done by a lady called Sezin. She did an amazing job and my hair came out absolutely perfect!I have extremely course/curly which seemed to be no problem for her she handled it extremely well and with great care

Sezin is the only person I would trust with my hair and have done for years. She is a expert at what she does and really takes the time to consult your wants and needs. She doesn’t mess you around and is honest about what needs and can be done. She is absolute magic with my hair and I always walk out feeling 100 times better about myself. I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. Walking into the salon has always been a positive experience for me. I always feel welcome and all the staff greet me with a smile.

Had my hair coloured and cut today at Rush in Ilford, by a lady called Diana (I think) (Irish lady) and Nicole. Both ladies were extremely lovely and professional and did an AMAZING job. My hair feels and looks great. I came in with an initial idea but with those advise and suggestions we came up with a plan that was more suitable for my hair. Always trust your hairdresser, they know best!!Will absolutely be coming back again! Thank you both.

They looked after me, were so patient with me and polite and ensured I was happy with my hair. They have this lovely hair perfume aswell, it smell absolutely gorgeous. Will defo be going again! Thank you both!

I always book to have Diana to colour and cut my hair. She always makes it look amazing! If I ever won the lottery, I would pay Diana to be my personal hairdresser! Diana take pride in her work and knows her stuff! Diana is the ONLY person I trust to go near my hair. The prices are high, but u are paying for the years of experience that they have.

Hair salon. Booking in advance is highly recommended. I've chosen very experienced member of staff because my hair are very demanding. It was a great decision. I radically changed hair colour without damaging. I am not very excited going to a hairdresser but that was not a bad experience. One big drawback is a price. For me it is a very expensive place.

Diane as usual did a lovely job on my hair. Came out beautiful and better than the ideas I had. She is lovely and her work is skilled. Really happy with my hair cut. Those that has left bad feed back about time issues well lets face facts she is that good! and in high demand. I would wait for gladly and TBH waiting time and time in genral was as expected no issues for me. When she gets to work its a job well done and some. All the best and happy hair day. Thanks Diane.

Such a friendly place to have your hair done. Had an absolutely brilliant time here with all the staff. My daughter had her hair coloured, which turned out fantastic and I had a wash and dry, that rescued my hair. Totally professional stylists that are an absolute joy.

I had my had a rose gold balayage treatment done by Nicole A. and absolutely loved it! It was a little daring but Nicole was happy to take the challenge and she delivered! It looked amazing and had to be shown off to rest of the collegues at RUSH. Thanks Nicole A. for your amazing professional and friendly service.

I visited rush after a long year of box dying my hair. I was worried it would take a few trips to get me to my achieved look. However a lovely lady named Diane was able to dramatically change my look all whilst keeping my hair healthy :D. The atmosphere in the salon was amazing and everybody who visited left smiling. I have attached pictures of my hair as words do not do justice to the work Diane carried out. If you are wanting a change or a reputable hairdresser and colourist I strongly suggest Diane. I cannot wait to go back and let her work more of her magic :D

I believe the service Diane provided was outstanding and she went above and beyond to meet my needs. I would highly recommend Diane and would never want to go anywhere else or have anyone else do my hair. Highly recommend her! Thank you Diane from Rush in Ilford.

I didn’t have an appointment booked, however I thought I would see if I could have my hair done today.Diane came straight over and offered her assistance and booked me in straight away.Diane is so professional, engaging, helpful and extremely talented. Diane cut my hair exactly what I wanted and ensured I was fully satisfied.Emma on reception was so professional and helpful she took my payment and explained I would get my receipt emailed.Diane and Emma true assets to the Rush company.The only downfall to my experience was the receptionist Taj she did not welcome me or look at me she was too busy fiddling around.Taj is unprofessional rude and unhelpful not the person I want to see when I visit rush again.

After having a bad experience at another salon i was very nervous when i came in to see Diane for a balayage colour. upon consultation she re-assured me and put my mind at ease. She was very professional and extremely thorough and realistic with her explanation of things. She stripped the previous colour i had put on my hair which went wrong and managed to do the whole thing all over again and gave me the perfect colour i always wanted. I was extremely happy with the service Diane and her colleagues provided and definitely will be a repeat customer.

I had my hair done by Shauna. She was very professional and caring towards the needs of my hair. She advised me really well. I had a really good experience the two times that I visited. The receptionist was very attentive too. The only thing I would suggest is for the salon to offer tea or coffee for hair treatments that takes a while.

Diane at Rush Ilford has been my go to for all hair needs for years now. Really takes into consideration what I want as well as maintaining the health of my hair (which not all places do anymore). I’ve tried multiple salons in the past but I’ve never had results like I have done with Diane. Finally found my go to hair colourist and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

I am extremely happy with the result of my hair at Rush ilford by Rachel D. I have never dyed my hair before but Rachel D made me feel comfortable and gave me exactly what i wanted, a soft balayage, and reassured me throughout. Definitely worth the price in my opinion and i loved the styling of my hair too! The customer service was amazing.

It was my first time at Rush and I’ve got to say Nicole A was amazing. From start to finish Nicole had great ideas on creating a new look for me and she did my hair exactly the way I wanted it. She took some amazing photos afterwards and made me feel so pampered. I can’t wait to go back for my next appointment! I have recommended her to all of my friends and family aswell.

This review is for my regular hairdresser Diane at Rush Ilford, who has always provided me with exceptional service!I have been coming to Rush and having my hair done for over a year now by Diane. As a person who wears a headscarf, there are very few places where you can have your expertly cut, while still observing your faith (by being able to have your hair cut behind a screen, away from other male customers).Before I visited Diane my hair was in terrible condition - I had been struggling with it for several years and was at a loss. I had not had my hair cut professionally in a while, as I was not aware there were professional services available to people such as myself who cover their hair for religious reasons.I met Diane who completely revitalised my hair, she truly understood my hair type and the struggles I had with it. Diane cut it into a stylish, yet low maintenance, very manageable style for me, and signposted me towards products that would maintain its condition and look; making it much more lustrous and manageable.Diane is a joy to be around, and always makes me feel comfortable and at ease, as I know I can trust her always to do a fantastic job!I would wholeheartedly recommend Diane at Rush, as she is an incredible hair dresser who truly understands hair, as well as being a lovely person to be around who you know can always be trusted.Diane you completely transformed my hair, and I wanted to thank you so much for how beautiful it now makes me feel, I could not be happier with the service I have received which is why I am now a loyal customer.You are an absolute gem - can't thank you enough!! xx

My first experience was good. The women I had was lovely however she messed up my hair by me having blonde roots and ginger towards the ends, making my hair look unnatural . Emma was very helpful and kind and she understood my pain. When I went back to Rush Sim and Dianne were amazing! They fixed my hair and made me feel like Beyoncé . My hair is now exactly what I wanted. Thank you Dianne and Sim for your amazing work!

Nicole A is amazing!! I originally went in to get balayage, cut & blowdry but my hair was already bleached and really damaged so she explained and gave me really good advice on what would be best for my hair. I took her advice as she is really experienced and other hairdressers would’ve just bleached my hair without caring about the outcome of the damage it would’ve caused my hair. I’m so happy I went with Nicole even though it was my first time meeting her. The service was amazing. Can’t wait to go back in 3 months again!

At Rush I got my hair done by Nicole A and I had full head highlights done, removed the permanent colour off my hair, and a beautiful bouncy blow dry. I can happily say that I am very very impressed with the results of my hair. Nicole A is amazing, she made me feel very comfortable and confident through out the whole service. I am gradually going lighter, but for the first time, it is exactly how I wanted my hair to look. I would definitely recommend for you to get your hair done by Nicole A, you will not regret it!!

This was my first time at Rush. As a hijabi who finds it really hard to find hair salons that really respect my privacy, I was very much pleasantly surprised to find that this was something Rush took seriously. There was a curtain on either side of me and when I went to get my hair washed it was in a room of just women, with a screen at the door.Not only that - I feel like this was a much more personalised experience for me. My hairdresser Shawna gave me plenty of tips about how to better take care of my hair (which is unruly on a good day).I will definitely be returning here, and I'll be recommending this salon to my family too. To other hijabis conscious of having a hair salon experience that they're comfortable with - try Rush Ilford.

Absolutely amazing staff is very lovely and friendly.I have done full Head with Nicole A. I am extremely happy with her skills and job overall very satisfying with the results definitely coming back to her to get it fully done as there is more to go, however the results after first time is amazing. Have had previously many hairdressers which would not be able to do anything. Nicole A was very patient and worked through step by step. 5* To the salon and especially to Nicole you are amazing! 🎉 Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year and see you very soon.

I was extremely nervous trying a new hairdresser, however due to the past disappointments at a top hairdresser in London I had to make the change. As soon as you go into Rush you get a warm welcome by all members of staff. As I sat with Nicole A, I felt calm and relaxed, Nicole A listened to my concerns, Nicole A, took her time in explaining my options, I had a colour, relaxing hair treatment, and cut and blow dry, all of the above extremely cost effective. At the end of discussing my concerns and what I wanted Nicole A said (do you trust me) to which point I whole heartily said yes. The outcome was that I got so much more for what I wanted. A 5 star customer service from all member of Rush.A big thanks you to you all.
