• "Had the WORST haircut and colour ever."
• "did not listen at all to what i asked for, and rather than a trim, cut most of my hair off."

• "They only care about taking the money and not making customers happy."
• "Awful service, rude staff, technically incompetent."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Fantastic for £13."
• "With very good price. I'll come back for sure!"
• "The prices are reasonable and lower compared to the coffee chains around."
• "And for 15£ you'd be hard pressed to find a salon quality haircut at this price in London."
• "For years I dreaded the hairdresser... If you have ever wanted a perfect haircut in peaceful silence, for the price of a dinner, try Hurwundeki."
• "It was probably the cheapest meal out we've had in ages."
• "Price is very fair though, can't complain about that."

Cons:

• "If you spend 29 quid for a badly done hair, I would rather pay a bit more for a better service and experience with no doubt!"
• "I paid £120 for my hair to look ridiculous."
• "Unbelievably terrible work, with half her head entirely uncoloured, the rest streaky."
• "Additionally, to note for people with fringes they will not offer free fringe trims, but will charge you £10."
• "I'm not happy with my haircut nor the service and attitude."
• "The sauce tasted like it was a from a packet and the meat was tough."
• "Kind of 'quirky' space, nice service and attentive waitresses the night we went but AWFUL food with cheap ingredients."

Atmosphere & Cleanliness

Pros:

• "Hurwundeki is a unique Korean establishment, combining a cafe/restaurant unusually with a hairdressers. Though unconventional, they do it perfectly."
• "Everyone needs cheap haircuts and Korean food, so Hurwundeki takes the prize by smashing those two things into one hipster package underneath the tunnel spaces along Cambridge Heath."
• "There is so much to see and explore, just overwhelming."
• "The relaxed and welcoming atmosphere of the boutique salon makes it a pleasure."
• "The atmosphere here is really something special."
• "They just renovated the layout inside with transforming the hairdressing seats to vintage products displaying counters, and there are still mirrors on the wall, a little eccentric but creative."
• "The outside area is very rundown-chic, with old children's toys, but it works considering the hipster location."

Cons:

• "The salon is dirty, filled with cobwebs, damp and freezing cold."
• "Indeed, they provide lots of tables, chairs, armchairs and sofas inside, but very random and the space is narrow, you may feel uncomfortable to sit inside and enjoy your tea of coffee."
• "Not very clean either (brushes and combs are not cleaned before use)."
• "I didn't find the staff friendly or welcoming so I would definitely recommend avoiding this place."
• "I sat waiting for 20 minutes and the salon was filthy."
• "Sometimes too much is not a good thing, there are so many stuff around, which make your eyes busy, definitely, not distraction-free."
• "No-one explains this to you and you'd be forgiven for never even seeing the board, which means - no haircut for you."
