Testimonials

Sophie Mead-Briggs Stanbury

Michael has been cutting my hair for years and I cannot live without him now, Giulia is the best colourist in London and together they create the perfect teams they even did my hair for my wedding many years ago! Having a great hair cut and colour gives me the confidence I need when meeting clients in my Interior Decorating business and most recently for my appearance on Ladies of London (most of the comments on my Instagram posts are about my hair and that's all thanks to Michael and Giulia!). Having two children and an extremely busy lifestyle can be very hectic and going to Nyumba is the perfect escape, I always leave feeling completely pampered.

All the stylists are extremely talented and skilled at the best blow dries, nails and makeup when you need it. Nyumba has an unbeatable glam-squad for those red carpet moments! As for Michael, I'll never let anyone else touch my hair...

Sarah Harris, Fashion Features Director at Vogue

A visit to Nyumba is like a session with the best glam squad in town. Michael is amazing on hair, Nel gives the most incredible skin-plumping stem cell facial, Danuta is the go-to for reflexology and Sanita is amazing at nails. Every time I go, I leave feeling better than brand new. I actually wish I could live here.

Sarah Bailey, Editor of Red

Precision cutting and inspiration!

Tatiana Blatnik

Michael is a genius with his scissors - He cuts with passion and understands the angles of a face like no other.. not only is he the best hairdresser, he is a great friend ... I have trusted him with "framing my face" for the past 12 years - including at my wedding to Prince Nikolaos. I always leave his salon feeling energised and of course sexier than when I walked in.

Claudia Winkleman

Michael is singularly the greatest hairdresser on the planet.

Charlie Miller - Grazia

Visiting Nyumba is like entering another world, with its striking and original African decor. It's exotic yet has a totally serene ambiance, and I left in a dreamlike state having been pampered from head to toe.

After a blow dry my hair feels fortified and I'm convinced Leonor Greyl hair treatment is the best for my hair.

A cut with Michael is like having Botox for the hair - he can take years off you with a few snips.

Nicholas Kirkwood

Missing my old neighbour on Mount Street, but so happy he has not moved too far away to his new beautiful new salon on Sloane Square. I still remain completely faithful to Michael and his team for the best hair cuts ever and a huge thanks to Michael for always supporting my brand for so many years.

Gianluca Longo - Style Editor

At Nyumba the staff really understand a customer. Even for me, with no much hair left, they do their best to make you look and feel great. And I always love the warm and welcoming atmosphere at the salon, I could spend a whole afternoon there!

Sasha Slater - Deputy Editor, Harper’s Bazaar

Michael is a genius stylist who can make any woman - well, this one at least - feel her best self.

Lisa Armstrong - Fashion Director, The Telegraph

Michael is a technical magician. He really studies your face to maximise the contours and angles. I've never had such a meticulous cut - you walk out seeing yourself from a new perspective.
