No. 74 Hair & Beauty Salon

The salon is a true testament that dreams do really come true. The enthusiastic owner and a top calibre hair-stylist, Martin Reichelt, told me of his idea of starting a salon long before the opening of No. 74 Hair & Beauty.

I have seen the building before and after and, might I say, what a transformation. It has a very inviting atmosphere, tasteful decor, modern equipment and a dedicated staff.

I was impressed with the staff's passion and dedication to make the experience enjoyable and pleasant. Martin has been cutting my hair ever since I moved to London. Trust me, he is very good at it since I had long, short, highlighted and many more different styles over the course of recent years.

What I like the most about this salon is the personal attention to each customer's needs, budget and preferences as well as the relaxing atmosphere the staff creates for each client.

Good news! Add another terrific indi shop to Clerkenwell's already growing list! I recently paid a visit to this hairdresser’s and was very pleased with the experience and my hair cut. Upon popping in, I met the shop’s friendly and eager-to-show-off-his-place (rightfully so), Martin Reichelt. The shop is in the heart of Clerkenwell and is set up on three floors, the first two of which are dedicated to hair care and the topmost floor is an oasis of tranquillity for beauty treatments. The shop is beautifully decorated with oversized botanical print wallpaper, leather chairs and bright, but not harsh lighting. Martin suggested I see one of his stylists, Seval. The appointment went smoothly – I didn’t have to wait for a second to be seen. Seval was friendly and warm, but not overly chatty (I always worry that if I talk too much to a hair stylist, s/he’ll get distracted and butcher my hair – do you feel that way too?). Seval did a great job and I like the hair cut even more after a few days. The haircut cost £48. I would definitely return and happy to see this new addition to the neighbourhood.
