Alpha Unisex Hair & Beauty Salon

Got my nails done here midweek - although the actual shop is in the process of looking slightly nicer and it's not too great inside, the young chap who did my nails was excellent and did a great job of full set gels (plus removal of old ones) for a total of £25. He was lovely and polite too. Would definitely go back.

This is my favourite barbers in north London. Not only are you made to feel welcome but in my opinion, Aman is one of the most talented barbers to ever cut my hair. He's also a really nice guy so none of this attitude you get from other places.

I would recommend this barbers to anybody looking for a good cut and great Service.

Worst nail job. The products he used where old and had a crusty finish. I did not even ask him to fix it because I could see that he has not the means to do it better. Nails had a terrible shape as well. I walked out just to go to another shop to get it fixed. Spend £70 today 😱😱😱

I had a full set of acrylics nails applied here. I booked the appointment online and walked in. The chap who did my nails was very attentive and polite because he was always asking me, are they OK? Do you like them?
I make a point of saying this, because so many other times, when I've had my nails done in other establishments, the nail technician will never ask you, they just do it as quickly as they can, so then they can get you out of the door and onto their next customer. However here at Alpha Unisex Hair & Beauty, they do not do this.
This is a prime example of excellent customer service and something that I feel is very important. After my appointment, I had a free 30 minute back massage on one of their massage chairs. This was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed. I will be returning. I highly recommend this establishment to others visiting the Finsbury Park area.

Amazing! Tim is so great! My nails are perfect! I want to explain why: I am very fussy and too much sensitive and when I came first time I was scared (like always with every nail artist) that I will feel pain, because I'm very very sensitive on my nails and skin. (I am ginger and this is why I'm too much sensitive unluckily). But Tim never hurt my nails or skin around. This is rare for me. He is so accurate and fast! I did acrylic nail. And it last for weeks (after 3 weeks of course my nails were too long and to do not risk to break them obviously, I came to do refil. So good price and professional person!) Anyway, in 10 years that I travelled and did with so many different nail professionals (and also with very expensive ones) unlikely they always did something that I didn't like (I am fussy and sensitive, pratically a worse customer! Ahahaha!!). But Tim is so great and professional. Try and see it ;) He has 10+ years of experience (in Nails stuff) and I saw few clients (before and after me) who told me they are his usual clients, for years now. I like that he use acrylic fast and professionally.5*!! Try of you don't believe :D

I should start by saying I have been waiting 6 months to treat myself to a nice pedicure and selected Alpha because they had availability tonight. I Booked an hour long luxury pedicure, but received a 35-minute rush job with no luxury included.

First, was told to sit in the massage chair, where a dirty towel was already draped over the foot bath area. I dipped my feet into frigid waters just as I was told to get out of the chair and pick a colour from the selection on the back wall. I awkwardly put my now wet feet back into my sandals and walked over to pick a colour. I was then told, “no, actually, you paid for luxury, so pick one of these” (from the swatch sitting at the chair I had just left). So I picked a colour and sat back down, again dipping my feet into the water that barely covered my feet. I couldn’t sit back in the chair to enjoy the massage settings without pulling my feet out of the water, but they never added more water to make it comfortable for me.
Then commenced a very fast, rough, and unpleasant experience -cuticle cutting should not be painful; and typically for ticklish feet there should be some care when grating callouses. Not so at Alpha!
No warm towels, no wax, no massage until after my nails were painted, then a very quick 10-second lotion application before declaring “ok, you’re done!” And leaving me to perform a manicure on a woman who had just walked in.

Absolutely atrocious service and no way in hell will I be returning.

Was desperate for a haircut during one of the lowest points of my life. Walked in and had one of the best haircuts (and wash) ever by Aster who was very kind, thorough and skilful. Prices are very affordable, great place to go especially if you are starting out new in London. Lots of love for Aster.

I had the worst experience. I got gel nails, and they started chipping the very same night! As if that weren’t enough, most nails started to break in the same week! And gel nails are supposed to protect nails from breaking! I went on a holiday after getting my nails done, so I wasn’t able to go back there and complain about the poorly done nails, or get them removed, I had to watch my nails chipping and breaking. And when I finally got the gel removed, I have notices that my nails were, and still are very weak. I’d never go back to that place again. The staff were nice but I think the product they are using is really cheap.
