Jenny Tonge Marcus is one of the most talented people - and hairdressers - that I have ever come across in a hairdressing odyssey across Europe. Couldn't recommend more highly. He oozes great ability ...

Vanessa Roth First time visiting Marcus felt like meeting a good friend and I kept coming back since. It’s such a friendly and professional atmosphere. Marcus clearly knows his craft and helped me make my hair look awesome with ease. He understands me and my wishes and you can see it in the haircut.

Teddy Ackery I've been having my hair cut with Marcus for about 2 years now, after finally giving up on the local barbers. Marcus provides a top service, always good chat, proper consultation, and most importantly, a great haircut. Couldn't recommend VCSF enough to anyone looking for a new hairdresser

Adrienne Clarke I am so happy to have found Marcus, thanks to a recommendation from a neighbour. My lockdown hair was awful and I dreaded the thought of going to a busy salon. Marcus’ salon is a haven, very peaceful and relaxing. He has done wonders with my hair. The cut is great and he really understands colour. He also has great taste in music.

Kevin VCSF is a superb salon that provides professional and bespoke hairdressing. Marcus is an outstanding hairdresser, who has a genuine interest in his clients. Marcus has made me feel, as a relatively new client, that I have been coming to see him for years. If you want a bespoke hairdressing experience, fantastic results in a welcoming environment, contact Marcus at VCSF.

les jules delattre I went in for my first cut with Marcus over 9 years ago and have never once considered another salon. Excellence in haircut.

Debra Burke Marcus performed a MIRACLE on my hair! My hair was a post lock down mess, terrible roots, in need of overall shape. Marcus gave great advice, set a plan and I just let him do his thing. ;-). My hair was gorgeous by the time I left . . . glossy, beautifully cut, and the colour was the best I have ever had. I am thrilled with it! The vibe in the salon is so chilled out. Loved it. I am counting the days until my next colour . . . 5 days, and counting! ;-)

Abigail Taylor Marcus is an absolute gem and performed nothing short of a miracle on my hair. He took me from half grown out lockdown hair to a gorgeous and natural blonde in the space of 2 hours. He is an absolute professional at what he does, and more than that he is a kind and wonderful person. Will be going back for as long as I am in London. Thank you, Marcus!

Emma Louise Feeling very lucky to have found Marcus and his salon after my first experience there today! He took the time to make sure I was getting exactly that, an experience! Ensuring I got the hair cut I wanted, the expert advice I needed but also with great chat throughout. I couldn't recommend Marcus more and will absolutely be returning!

Simon Menhinick Superb boutique salon - particularly for people who are very fussy about their hair like me. From our first meeting, Marcus has always taken time to get under the skin of what I'm after and it's this dedication to understanding as well as the devotion to his craft that sets him apart from everyone else. As somebody once told me "when you find a good hairdresser, never let them go". So unfortunately for you now Marcus, this is for life.

Beth Wilmont I'm convinced Marcus is some sort of magician....I generally arrive looking like something cat dragged in and I always leave looking a million dollars. He's brilliant and can cut and colour with equal skill. Add to that a coffee, hilarious chat and always great music. He's been doing my hair for the past 7 years and I'll never go anywhere else.

Jamie Stimpson Marcus has really stepped his game up in the new salon..it's in a fantastic spot, always lively with interesting, loyal and accomplished clientele coupled with Marcus's skill and energy. My haircut cut is bang on as always. He's one of those rare birds; you wait forever to find someone who understands your hair and you hang on to him for as long as you can!

Aidan Sansom A wonderful little salon with nearly as much character as its owner. Marcus is not only very talented, but listens to his clients and works with them to make sure you get exactly what you want. He also offers great advice. By the sheer amount of people that pop by just to say hello, he is clearly an asset to the area. Just one appointment there, and I bet you won't go anywhere else.

Emily Maitland This is a gem of a salon. Marcus is brilliant - the only person I trust to cut and style my hair. The whole experience is a pleasure, from the stylish and relaxing decor, to Marcus' delightful company. Having moved away from the area I always return to VCSF. Highly recommended to all.

Shirley Cupit So pleased I found Marcus through a friend's recommendation. He really understands hair... and people. Highly skilled. I'd been looking for someone for ages to give me a good short cut - had some mediocre, expensive experiences - but now here he is!

Nicola Di Tullio Marcus has been working minor miracles with my hair for the past 7 years - always providing honest, professional advice on the right colour and cut to suit my hair type, complexion etc. (And he’s always right, too!) The new salon is cool, friendly and welcoming - with great tunes and conversation. We are very lucky to have it and it’s owner as part of our community.

Adiya Yasmin Not just a typical hairdressers as it includes character and personality too- Marcus! The shampoo hair massage was amazing and he did a brilliant job at restyling my look as he managed to capture my personality with his own intuition. Perfect little spot in Brackenbury Village!

Sylvia Lipinska Fantastic hairdresser, nice salon, very relaxed atmosphere.Always an interesting chat with Marcus. I love what he does with hair! He has been doing mine for 10 years and I'm always super exited about it,never let me down. Highly recommend!

Caitriona Take it from someone who has an unusual dread of hairdressers, Marcus in VCSF is a find. After a reassuring consultation, Marcus genuinely listened to the ideas I had, and put me immediately at ease. His approach is refreshing, and his attentiveness and attention to detail is what makes him a superb stylist. For me to actually enjoy the whole experience is rare, but I did. He did a fantastic job, I left there feeling refreshed and renewed! Trust me, you’ll enjoy a session with Marcus, I would definitely recommend.

Isabelle busnel First time in my life that I enjoy going to the hairdresser. Marcus is really good and always have the best advice. And you can listen to good music and just relax too.

Chloe Partridge Marcus has been cutting my hair now for a few years. He always does an impeccable job and my hair always feels healthy and shiny when I leave. Marcus now cuts my boyfriend’s and my mum’s hair and has since become a friend.

Pete Niesiolowski I've been going to Marcus for about two and a half years and frankly wouldn't go anywhere else. Great haircuts, witty banter and some outstanding relationship advice are all part of the service. Marcus is not only a great stylist, but a fantastic philosopher and superb therapist all rolled into one. I look forward to our six-weekly chats immensely. Highly recommended.

Jon Ross Marcus is not only a talented stylist, he’s a fun, engaging conversationalist. Add in coffee and great music and you have pretty much the perfect salon. I wouldn’t have my hair cut anywhere else.

Nick Styring VCSF is an absolutely fantastic salon. I started having my haircut by Marcus 4 years ago and have never looked back. You get a great haircut, listen to cool music and always walk out happy!

Veronica Stanwell Absolutely love my new haircut and restyle - first fringe! Marcus is lovely and a true professional, I felt completely at ease despite it being my first bold haircut. Loved the playlist too. Highly recommend.

Siobhan Parker I first saw Marcus a few months ago and instantly felt relaxed and at ease. He delicately coloured and highlighted my hair, was hugely knowledgeable and asked me lots about my hair type to get a good understanding of how to handle it. The decor, music and atmosphere all added to the overall experience.

Lara Clarke I have been trusting Marcus to colour and cut my hair for 3 years now. The atmosphere in his salon is lovely and he gets my hair just right every time so I feel fantastic when I walk out. Thanks Marcus !

Stephen Tan Marcus has proper technique and is one of the few people who has managed to tame my straight, stiff Asian hair. Great hair cut, lovely guy

Rosie Whitby Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Knowledgeable hairdresser and stylist, good fun chat, always fits you in for emergencies. Even though I’ve moved out the area I still come back for this guy.

Jackie Armitage Marcus certainly knows how to cut & colour hair. Always happy to leave it up to him, & I've been delighted with the results every time. You also get entertaining conversation & coffee to complete the experience. I'd certainly recommend a visit.

Liam Reeves I have never really been a fan of going to salons, so this place is a bit of a revelation! A great haircut and good fun in a relaxed and cool atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Belinda Selley Marcus is Excellent, I have been going to him for years and wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair, I even chose him to do my hair on my wedding day as he is superb. I have no hesitation highly recommending Marcus.

Laura Snelling Marcus has been cutting & colouring my hair for 13 years and I would never go anywhere else. Super talented and charming. Five star customer service.

Fi Gallagher It is always a joy to have my hair cut by Marcus , lots of laughing! Also leave with amazing makeover hair. A treat.

Emily King I used to hate getting my hair cut but Marcus has changed that. We always have a laugh and I end up with great looking hair. What more could you want from a salon?!

Mike Evans Gem of a salon. Marcus is the only man I trust with a pair of scissors near my hair. My hair is a treasure and Marcus treats it as such. Thoroughly recommend!

Matthew Lovett An oasis of calm which does my chakras all sorts of good, compared with the blinding lights and blast of 20 hair dryers at Headmasters. Shoot the breeze central. Marcus possesses a sound working knowledge of The Sopranos and has some interesting Masterchef recipe ideas. Genuine 5* destination; I trust I am, in turn, a 5* customer.

Ben Cislaghi This is the holy grail of hair cutting. There are few places that have come close to getting my head right, this one is where I finally can sit confident that I will sit down and look amazing!

Maggie Peterkin I have been a client of Marcus at VCSF for over 10 years now, He is the best hairdresser i have ever been to. I colour my hair blonde, finding someone who can get the right colour and make your hair look amazing is so important. Had my hair done for my wedding and honestly felt like a million dollars!! I honestly couldn't speak highly enough of Marcus, he is also funny and interesting to chat to you and the new salon is cool and funky.

Phoebe Barter Brilliant. I’d had my hair colour butchered elsewhere (panels of over bleached white - gah) and in just one sitting Marcus had sorted it out and I’m back to looking like me. I thought it would take months to fix but he’s clearly a whizz. Never going anywhere else. Plus he cuts really well and he’s just a nice, funny guy. Great salon too.

Mabel Butterworth Absolutely brilliant experience! Marcus is very funny and friendly, but also extremely knowledgable and skilled at his craft. The consultation was clear and he gave me exactly what I asked for. This is definitely the best haircut I’ve ever been given, and I can’t wait to go back. Would 100% recommend!!

Juliet S I'm delighted to have found Marcus at VCSF. He is an incredible hairdresser - he has excellent technical skills but also the ability to understand people and how they want to look/what would suit them. We are very lucky to have a hairdresser in Hammersmith operating at such a high level (I have been to many top hairdressers in London and rate Marcus more highly). It is also a very relaxing, nice experience going to the VCSF salon.

Chloe Allen So happy that I came across Marcus’ salon! After walking past it and then looking into the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I needed a hairdresser who could give me advice on what was best for my hair, rather than just copying from a reference picture, and that’s exactly what Marcus did! He’s incredibly skilled at what he does, and a great guy! Very much enjoy our chats as well. Absolutely love how my hair now looks :) Thanks Marcus!
