Contacted Phillip to arrange a long overdue new hairstyle for my wife Ann. Phillip was helpful with advice about the cut and after care nothing being too much trouble. Ann loves her new style and thought Phillip was a thorough professional and a great guy.
Response : When your have so much hair cut off to transform your look; One has to get it right, so the consultation is so very important. Well your husband helped by telling you on the finished result you looked 10 years younger. If we carry on like that, two more visits and you will be wearing a School gym slip again! Glad your happy, and thank you for saying it, in this review. Philip J.

Brilliant mobile hair dresser. Before Philip cut my hair I was really struggling with it. My previous hair dresser had dyed it so often that it was splitting at the ends, was knotty and difficult to comb and looked terrible. I was embarrassed to go out with my matty mane. Talk about terrible locks. Philip came to my rescue and did a brilliant job of cutting my hair, modernising my image and made me look and feel ten times better. He's a warm, chatty bloke who is pleasant, friendly and charismatic. His prices are very reasonable and he travels to you.

Re. Philip John, Freelance Mobile Hairdresser from Bramhall. There’s one word to describe his expertise - GREAT - having left me with fantastic hair colour and hairstyle for my aged thin, fine hair that delighted me. He is friendly and easy to relate to. Another plus is that his rates are reasonable. I certainly recommend him and would use him again. .
Response : Thanks Sylvia for your kind comments, I am delighted that you are pleased with my work; Plus that you took the time to leave your thoughts in a review. P. J.

I dont believe in chance meetings, just as I became at my wits end with constant disappointments with hairdresses that will offer a service to you for quick money. After going down a difffrent route looking for a mobile hairsylist I came across philip. My hair was in an unhealthy state from hairdressers who literally over processed my hair blonde. After an openly honest factual consultation with philip who was honest enough to say my hair needed cutting right back to get rid of my frazzeld hair, his advise was to go slightly darker blonde than the white blonde I had previously on my hair. Healthy hair is more important to philip than giving in to what I wanted rather than what I needed. Philip came to do my hair today, to say he created a work of art is an under-statement, not only did he retrieve my hair to a good standed of healthiness he cut my long tangled dryed out hair into a beautiful blunt bob. This gentleman has a great personality, relaxing nature which made my day. If your looking for an honest trust worthy hairdresser he is defiantly the one. I would truly recommend Without a boubt. Sorry philip , i know you had a big challenge today but your now stuck with me, I can't thankyou enough I feel like a new woman.Moreexpand_more
Response : I see this all the time, clients that go to one hairdresser after another having strong chemicals applied; then the client spend more money with conditioners & treatments trying to repair the damage. To me that's bad hairdressers chasing money, very sad to say. Yep I tell the client as it is, my names Philip not Merlin, If you do as I say, for a period, we will get it back to lovely hair, If I don't, then you will get your money spent, back. I have yet to pay a client her money back. If they still insist on going the same set pattern . I just thank them and leave, I have almost 40 years experience & I won't do what I believe is wrong; After all, they contacted me for my honest opinion & I have given it. Thanks Hayley 5 hours of effort made us both happy. P.J x.Moreexpand_more

Wow it was a pleasure from start to finish. What a great guy and so professional. So pleased with my colour (which Philip advised). I have always been blonde for 20 odd years, Philip said a warm colour maybe better to enhance my skin tone and add shine to my hair…I couldn't be any more pleased with my cut and colour. Thank you Philip you genuinely are a star (and so funny ? ). See you again soon x Julie x.
Response : The stand-up comedy is something I just throw in as an extra. Fab your so pleased I enjoyed changing the image. Until the next time, stay well, P. J.

Philip to the rescue! My usual hairdresser has got Covid and I am going to Dubai tomorrow with hair that’s not been done for 10 weeks. Philip agreed to come and help, was very thoughtful, discussed with me what I prefer and spent time making sure it was exactly how I wanted it. I get to go to Dubai tomorrow looking glamorous. Thank you so much. It was a risk and I am so glad I took it! Kat.
Response : Well I am pleased the risk you took was worth it! So you went off too Dubai with shining colour correct locks, the pleasure was all mine. Thanks for find time to leave a review before the flight. P. J.

After being left with a mess of a mop, by another hairdresser, I searched online for a freelance colourist, and came across Philip. What a find! He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to colour - he pimped my wig, and made me outdoor worthy, again! 4 weeks on, the cut has grown in well, and is still easy to style. Philip is also a great conversationalist, very personable. He is ridiculous value for money, too. He wont come in and try to sell you anything, and instead, points you to things you can look out for, yourself. I will 100% be booking in with him, again.
Response : If it takes as long again to sort it, I am bringing an over night stay bag; I want an English breakfast brought to me in bed in the morning! Thanks for sounding your approval Michelle. Philip.

Could sit here and write an essay on how good and thorough Philip is! Today was the start of getting my hair back to a healthy state (after years of highlights so bleach upon bleach) he explained everything thoroughly and explained it would take a few months to see a difference - he took his time on my hair and even after this first time I can see a big difference - lovely and friendly too with lots of good advice! (so good I didn't even need straighteners after he'd dried it which is a first! ) highly recommended! 5* thank you ? Unfortunately can only upload 1 photo so you can't see the before to compare.
Response : Paula, Your not on your own, the number of new clients I see who pay money to ruin their hair with over bleaching, Bleach is so destructive if over used. Then the client wonders why hair is breaking off , wont grow and is lifeless. Plus they spend a fortune with conditioners plus treatments to try to get it to shine & look healthy. So it's fab when someone like yourself listens, and try's an alternative suggestion. Will improve another 100% over the next 6 months. Paula great that you have left this review for others to see who maybe suffering the same issues. See you soon Philip john.

Phillip is an amazing hairdresser and a really genuine nice person. My hair was really in bad condition due to a previous hairdresser. I emailed Phillip and we arranged to visit me for a free consultation, we went through what he could do to cut, colour and to get my hair back to good condition. The next week Phillip came to do my hair, he talked through everything he was doing and the end result was WOW I couldn’t believe that my hair could look this good in just one visit. I am so pleased with my hair and look forward to my next visit.
Response : Sometimes the consultation is more important than the hairstyle. To explain why the clients hair is like it is. Give them a new way of getting the hair in better condition & to make a new start "with a plan". So many clients I see who are spending money to ruin their hair. Get the condition & cut right the rest will follow. This was a perfect example of a complete re-think, Terrie took it on board, we made a start, it will only get better. Thanks Terrie for sharing the results. Philip.

This was my first time using a mobile hairdresser and I didn’t know what to expect. From the minute he came through the door he made me feel at ease he’s a genuinely nice guy who really cares about the customer experience ! My hair was a lockdown disaster we chatted through what I wanted in detail and he made sure I was happy with what he had done throughout every step. My colour is amazing and my hair feels so healthy I’m really impressed. I recommend to anyone it’s top salon quality for a really good price and I’ll be using him for all my hair needs moving forward … Thanks again Jane.
Response : After so long without seeing a hairdresser due to lockdown; It's a great opportunity to look at a new colour and hair design. With Jane we did, and it proved a winner . If you stuck with the same old hair colour/style, then use this time to revamp with a new you. Thanks Jane for sharing your thoughts. Philip J.

Philip John once again delivered…On time. My post lockdown hair was void of lustre and bounce. His clever use of colouring, cutting and humour never fails and my barnet is once again back to it's former glory. I moved house, gave him my telephone number so he could ring me to confirm times and find the right house. He found it…After phoning. I've left his company swinging my hair like a character out of Mills and Boon, a spring in my step and a fun few hours chat…All took place at the right address. I would highly recommend Philip John if you want top class colour and cuts. Styles like a dream and always punctual. Please note: Appointments can only happen if he knows where you live so please ensure he knows your telephone number, especially if you're like me and cagey about your house number until immediately before your appointment. If no telephone number is available he'll understandably have no way of phoning you once he's out and the appointment will not happen no matter how long you wait. Cannot wait for my next pamper, from one very happy customer…Who moved house and is extremely private x.Moreexpand_more
Response : I feel you made a very good point, I am not a Homing Pidgeon nor do I use radar in my car. Brilliant when I get there, I have satisfied you with myTonsurial Artistic skills. Many thanks Veronica. P. J.

Absolutely cannot recommend Philip John highly enough. I had attempted to cut my own hair in lockdown: it was a mess! We spent some time chatting about my hair before he even started to cut and somehow he created a little bit of magic this afternoon and I now have my short cut into a great style with which I am delighted. I don’t think I’ve ever had someone understand my thick hair so well! Charming man who is so skilled in his profession: he is amazing!
Response : A consultation is a very important process in accessing what a new client is looking for with her hair, & less chances of getting it wrong. It's is also important to be truthful with someone whose hair you have not done before; Thererfore telling her what her hair will not do as well as what it will ,she is paying you for your experience and advice as well as her style. Thanks Denise those are very kind words ,I am delighted you are so pleased. Philip J.

After searching for mobile hairdressers Philips site came up. I wanted a change from my usual salon. Mmm should I give this guy a go I thought. Reviews are really good etc. He comes to your house! Wow bonus. My job means I can be quite suspicious. Go on then I thought. Well am I glad I took the chance and trusted my instincts. What a fab guy. Not only that I’ve just had the best haircut ever. Just as I asked short, choppy, modern and great shape. Love it so much. Totally what I wished for. It’s not wish upon a star but wish upon Philip coming into your life. Thank you so much xx. See you soon. Val J (Mere, Knutsford).Moreexpand_more

Picture if you will an old English sheepdog with hair covering its eyes. Well that was me! I last went to the hairdresser on 5th Nov 2020. So Philip had 4. 5 months of mop to. Control. And two hours later hey ho delicious pixie cut emerged. Thanx Philip you're a star!
Response : Great that you put a photo, as some people reading the reviews think I sit up all night thinking up new things to say about myself. Bonus, that friends think it's fab. A very brave lady with some of the things you have been through in life, which I will not mention as professional hairdressers are sworn to secrecy about what clients tell them. Thanks for your time and effort in telling people on my site about your experience with me & my scissors, see you on may 1st philip x.
