Why DKUK?
A visit to the hairdressers should be an enjoyable and relaxing experience but, all too often, it can leave you feeling a little anxious and overwhelmed.
With this in mind, DKUK in Peckham has created a safe place where everyone is welcome, listened to, and heard, and where extraordinary steps have been taken to ensure you feel completely comfortable and delighted with your hair!
We have redefined the hairdressing experience to make it more relaxing for you - an inclusive and welcoming space where you can get your hair done without having to sit in front of a mirror. Yes, that's right - we've replaced mirrors with artwork instead.
WHY NO MIRRORS?
We know many people want a haircut but don't want to worry about how they look in the mirror, especially when you're sat under harsh lighting, with wet hair. Indeed, sitting in front of a mirror for extended periods can have a negative effect on some people's mental health.
The great news is that our stylists have years of experience in cutting hair without a mirror so we know how to make sure you always leave looking your best. We will work around you, spinning the chair and carefully inspecting your hair from every angle.
Once the service is complete a mirror will be bought over where you can offer any feedback on the haircut and the stylist can make any adjustments. We like to think of this as a first draft, giving you space to contribute and collaborate with your stylist.
SILENT OR CHATTY. YOU CHOOSE!
Some people hate going to the hairdressers because of the thought of having to make 'small talk'. Maybe you are having a difficult week and just want to enjoy your hair appointment in silence. Or maybe you have a book you’ve been struggling to read and the chance to sit in a stylist's chair is going to encourage you to finally start reading!
Whatever your reason, we will be as chatty or as quiet as you wish and none of our styling team will be offended if you say you'd rather sit quietly while we work our magic on your locks.
Talk-free haircuts can be booked online or simply give us a call and request a talk-free haircut.
Cuts & Styles
It's fair to say we are experts when it comes to cutting and styling long hair - and ensuring it always looks fabulous and healthy. If you feel your long hair doesn't suit you, it might just take a few tweaks to make it look great. Adding some layers without taking away from the length too much, or giving it a better shape may be all that's needed to take your hair from drab to fab.

Had a cut and color from stylist Kate McMahon and it was everything I wanted. She’s amazing at working with curly hair, making sure I got the shape I wanted without compromising on length. In terms of dye we had a long conversation and she showed me all my color options and combinations. She ended u... read more
I was really thrilled with my experience with Emilia. I have very thick afro hair which she carried out a Keratin hair treatment on. This was my first ever treatment with Emilia, she was very calm and put me at ease. The results are excellent! I still wear my very curly thick hair in its curly state... read more
If this sort of high end pampering feels unfamiliar to you, then come here. It is a welcoming exercise in treating yourself to something great. You will leave relaxed and with a wonderful haircut.
DKUK is the only hair salon I’ve been to more than once, such a relaxing atmosphere and it takes away all the stress I used to have getting my hair done
Emilia is fantastic and she knows her stuff, she gives great advice and I always leave v happy
The most beautiful salon in London, always such a good experience. Emilia is magic and so so lovely! Created a blonde that looks like I grew it myself
First time coming, i am autistic and quite tender headed. I also have curly hair and also 9 months pregnant so needed my hair taken care of so i do not have to worry when i give birth. They brushed my extremely knotted hair so gently but also did it in probably less than half the time i would have t... read more
Been wanting to go back to my natural colour after over a decade of highlights for a while but didn’t know best to approach. Emilia was really insightful on the best way to go about it when I was having my haircut earlier this year, so I went back in to start the colour transition. I could not be mo... read more
I’ve been going to Daniel for over three years and through a variety of styles. Until I started with DKUK, I’d never stuck with the same salon/stylist for more than a couple of cuts—a testament to Daniel’s attention to detail and aesthetic eye.
Kate did my hair and it was a fantastic experience! She completely understood what I wanted, I’m so happy with my haircut x
I've been visiting DKUK for over a year now after passing everyday and thinking I'd try them out. I'm always extremely satisfied with the cut and the service and have had appointments with multiple stylists. I now also have part of my hair bleached which is done carefully without compromising the qu... read more
Very calming friendly salon, had a beautiful blowout by Kate who was lush!
Rosa was absolutely exceptional - from start to finish I felt completely at ease and relaxed, which is so different from my previous salon experiences. I am neurodivergent, so being able to sit there with a warm drink and no mirrors was something so important to me (seeing yourself in a salon mirror... read more
I have been getting my hair cut by Rosa for years, and at this point I wouldn't trust anyone else to do my hair! If you have curly hair, I'd definitely recommend her as a stylist. The salon has a lovely relaxed vibe too, and it's nice to look at art instead of staring at yourself in the mirror for a... read more
I’ve been coming to DKUK for the past couple of years and it’s been such a gorgeous, relaxing experience. Emilia is my hairdresser and she is absolutely fantastic: she is so lovely, kind, friendly and funny - while also being incredibly talented. I’ve had so many hairdressers over the years and I ca... read more
Had a super easy and relaxing time with Rosa when I visited! Can't wait to go again for my next dye
I love DKUK!! Been coming here for almost a decade which is CRAZY. Daniel is such a lovely human and stylist + makes you feel so comfortable and listened to. I also really want to rave about Rosa - she is honestly the best colourist I\'ve ever been to. She just absolutely nails it every time, she\'s... read more
I have been coming to the salon for about 6 years now, and I always have a fantastic experience - I won't go anywhere else for my colour or cuts. The team are friendly and warm and respectful. Rosa has been doing my hair for about 3 years now, and she is wonderful! She always gets the exact shade of... read more
I've been coming to DKUK for years and couldn't bring myself to change hairdressers even when I moved out of the area because it's such a reliably good experience. Rosa is an amazing stylist and I feel like my cuts last really well. The products seem great quality too. I find it so much more relaxin... read more
Went to DKUK for the first time today and I was not disappointed! Not only is Kate incredibly talented, but she really listened to what I wanted and clearly explained what my options were. She gave me some great advice on how to style and take care of my hair. Can’t wait to go back! ❤️
I've been coming to DKUK for a year now, I always love my hair when I leave. The atmosphere in the salon is so chill and fun, I love the art on the walls and there's always banging music on. Special shout out to Emilia who is an angel who does the best head massages and Farrah Fawcett blow dries ✨
