Stephen Buchanan - Hair stylist & Colorist

What can I say? I hate hairdressers so I try to go as little as I can, but some gray hairs and layered haircut mean that I have to retouch every once in a while. Stephen has been great and it is not a pain to spend some time there, the results have been great.
I booked just yesterday by text to his mobile phone as I was used to and he is now taking appointments using the studio number: 6473 5306 (he is on holiday now...). Jesse answered on the first ring and I got an appointment with Gillian, who I am sure will not disappoint...

Sorry I forgot the rates..off course 5 STAR rated

As I have little bit curly hair, and then off course you fancy straight hair ..... and I'm too clumsy to do a nice straight hair blowdry by myself, I prefer to get it done by the hairdresser. Back in Amsterdam I got my superb hairdresser who also do a good job on colouring my hair. Once in Shanghai I needed to find a substitute..After reading good reviews on Stephen I tried to make an appointment, but Stephen had busy schedule but there was also Gillian. So I made appointment with her for blowdry only. And I was absolutely not disappointed, not only she did the perfect blowdry, but she also understood what colour I want for my hair!!!! After the 1st visit I went back for haircut and colour! So ladies, I'm sure Stephen is good, but try also Gillian!! She is a pro and besides that also very nice. And try also the body oil what they sell in their store and the essential oils. Ask for Joe, he is such a nice guy and hilarious too!!!

Went twice.
First time for a simple haircut. Needed to cut my long hair and make them really short. No specific idea in mind so I let him decide for me. The cut was fine though it took me some time to get used to the style. My friends insisted that it really suited me.
Second time for some highlights. I saw the terrific job he did on a blonde lady who he convinced to go back to a more natural shade. He did a perfect job in intensifying my natural copper highlights. He really has a eye for color.
Overall I would go back to him for color. For a simple cut I think Bono is 10 times cheaper and as nice. For a perfect cut that will grow perfectly - alas not cheap - I can highly recommend Douglas King.

Stephen did a good job with my hair. Apparently, there is not much to do as my hair is totally straight, but cut it well - but what most stylists dont seem to be able to, he did. Really good job!
Plus he advised me not to dye my hair more blond. He could have made a lot of money with this, but decided that my hair is to soft for anything like that. This makes him a really good hairstylist, I think!
Will be back soon and try his new haircare products.

Just got back from Stephen Buchanan's Salon. I was afraid with all the bad reviews that the hairstylists in China get. Also, I have red hair and it is colored. I found that he knew just what to do, made a perfect satisfying match for my hair color. Great blow dry and not unbelievably priced like some of the other big hotel salons may charge. About the same as US prices. I was very happy and will return.

It was good while it lasted. Not 2-3 months as suggested but only 1 month. It could be because i washed my hair almost everyday after gym. Im not sure ! Does anybody else have better / longer results than mine ?

How to say...?! I expected more and better but instead I got a lot of private questions and very bad haircut. I`m disappointed!(
Does he make difference between someone?
This haircut doesn`t worth 350RMB!!!

The only and only thing i would like to say is that Stephen is awesome. I love my hair after the keratin treatment. You must try and im sure you will be a happier person.

The one and only thing to say about Stephen is that he is awesome. You must try and i promise you would leave the place happier. I absolutely love my hair after the keratin treatment ;)
