A Legacy of Style: Decades of Dedicated Hairdressing
Zoit Hairdressing in Paddington isn't just a salon; it's an institution. For nearly three decades, clients have consistently lauded Tony and his team for consistently delivering exceptional results. Numerous reviews highlight a remarkable level of client loyalty, with many stating they’ve been returning to Zoit for 10, 30 years or even longer. This longevity speaks volumes about the quality of service and personal connection fostered within the salon walls.
What sets Zoit Hairdressing apart isn't just technical skill, but a deep understanding of each client’s individual needs and desires. One reviewer perfectly encapsulates this, stating Tony is "obsessed with the perfect colour" and is both attentive and intuitive. This personalised approach clearly resonates, with many reporting feeling “ten years younger” after a visit. It’s a place where expertise meets artistry, transforming hair and boosting confidence. The salon demonstrably prioritises long-term client relationships, and builds a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.
The Tony Del Monte Factor: A Master Craftsman
The name Tony Del Monte appears repeatedly in the glowing testimonials for Zoit Hairdressing. He’s not simply a hairdresser; he’s been affectionately dubbed “the god of the hairdressers”, a “maestro of Hair”, and an “absolute Artiste”. This isn't hyperbole - clients consistently rave about his skill, vision, and ability to understand what truly suits their features.
Here's a breakdown of what makes Tony so highly regarded, based on customer feedback:
- Colour Expertise: Singular focus on achieving the perfect colour for each individual.
- Intuitive Cutting: Skillfully blends listening to client requests with a professional, honest assessment.
- Transformative Results: Regularly described as making clients feel and look significantly better.
- Long-Term Value: Haircuts and colours hold their shape and beauty for months following the appointment.
- Personality: Clients appreciate his “good natured, a bit cheeky” and conversational style.
One particularly enthusiastic reviewer perfectly sums up the experience: “When I walk out of his shop door I feel and look so good, I wouldn't go anywhere else to get an hair cut." Even playful comments about his appearance (“charming, handsome and a walking Adonis”) highlight the overwhelmingly positive experience clients have with Tony.
Salon Atmosphere and Practicalities: A Seamless Experience
Zoit Hairdressing provides a comfortable and well-maintained environment. Reviews consistently mention the salon is "always clean and tidy". While lacking Wi-Fi (a minor point for most, given the exceptional service), Zoit prioritises the experience of a traditional salon visit – focusing on attentive service and skilled artistry rather than digital distractions.

A Dedicated Team & Areas for Growth
While Tony consistently receives the highest praise, it’s clear Zoit Hairdressing is a team effort. A single reviewer raised a point recommending that “Nic” receive a pay rise, illustrating a commitment to recognising and valuing the contributions of all salon staff.
It's evident that the salon fosters a loyal clientele and provides consistent quality. However, considering the contemporary salon landscape, adding Wi-Fi could enhance the overall experience for clients who prefer to remain connected during longer appointments. Despite this small point, the overwhelming sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive, solidifying Zoit Hairdressing’s reputation as Paddington's premier destination for exceptional hair styling, care, and a truly personal touch.
