All the natural afro hair salons in London are okay but each salon has it's own method of hairdressing and products.I only mention salons that I have experience of.
Adornment 365 Salon & Wellbeing Center.

Adornment365 are related to www.adornment.org.uk. Adornment365 use only natural and organic products.They use Qhemet biologics,Aubrey organics,The Hairoine and Adornment 365 products.The salon has a pleasant atmosphere.Customer care and consultation was very thorough.The stylist saw us at the agreed appointment time, there was no delay and the service was executed with well mannered professionalism. Adornment also provides massages this includes head massage or body massage.
Morris Roots http://morris-roots.com use shea butter for retwisting locs which is very good,but they use a comb to unravel some of the hair (it is sort of like a back combing method) I found that my hair was messy after a few days because of this.Morris roots also play very loud music in all their three salons and they refused to turn it down.A bonus for some is that they offer free alcohol and soft drinks on the premises.
Eftal (N15. 0208-809-4343)uses very good quality essential oils and it is a nice environment to be in (lots of green plants,and satelite t.v.)
