The Popham treatment
Oxford hairdresser David Popham worked with Vidal Sassoon in Sixties London - so he has five decades of cutting experience. Yeah, I think I'll let him loose on my hair!

Tried and tested: Popham salon, Oxford
Can’t say I’ve ever done a hair review – until this one – where I had my hair cut at one salon and then legged it up to a second salon for my colour but you’ll find out why I did it in a bit. But let me introduce the salons, those of Popham Hairdressing, […]

Hairbox – she’ll do your up-do!
Gawd bless the brilliant Hairbox, the tiny hair salon that’s, er, literally a boxroom on Marlow High Street, and happens to be home to the supercool, talented Carol Baxter.
