Seniors
Home haircuts for seniors in London
Book a home haircut for an older relative in London. Senior Cut £38. A barber or hairdresser who comes to them. You pick the pro and pay up front.
Getting to the barbers or the salon isn't always easy. Buses, stairs, weather, a long wait in a busy shop. A home haircut for seniors takes all of that away. Salonak lets you book a mobile barber or hairdresser in London who comes to the door, whether that's your own home or your mum's flat in Harrow (HA3), your granddad's house in Croydon (CR0) or a relative in Walthamstow (E17).
You pick the pro. You see the price before you book. You pay up front in the app. The pro you pick is the pro who comes.
A proper haircut, without leaving the house
- At their own pace. No rushing, no queue, no standing around.
- In their own chair. A familiar room and a cup of tea.
- Book for someone else. Put their address in, add notes for the pro, and pay from your phone.
- Price first. Every service has a listed price you see before you book.
- No cash on the day. It's paid in the app up front.
What you can book
For a regular trim and tidy, there's the Senior Cut. For more, barbers and hairdressers on Salonak can also do:
- Beard shape and trim, or a hot towel shave
- Blow-dries and a cut and blow-dry
- Root Colour and Full Head Colour
- Occasion styling for a wedding, birthday or family do
Booking for a parent or grandparent
Lots of people book for someone else. Use your own Salonak account, add their address as a saved spot, and put any useful details in the notes: which buzzer, where to park, whether they're hard of hearing, or that they like a chat. The pro gets those notes with the booking.
