I'm trying to call them....I have tried this number http://www.timeout.com/london/sho...es/5047/It-s_Something_Hells.html 020 7287 0241 and it says its not recognised.

I have tried the mobile number from their myspace page but it doesn't ring, goes to Orange answer phone.

Anyone know if they have a different contact number? Or are they shut at the moment?

Ninas is more of a vintage salon - more 1950s originals. Its in a fab location - a huge vintage antique market full of stalls. You can get make up done there too.

Hells' is more rockabilly - red leather and leopard print. It is also in a fab location - although more modern, a little area full of unique shops.

Nina is quite infamous, and I have seen her on tv before, and she used a different technique to cut my fringe than Hell's.

Nina's is where Tony Nylons has his pin up photo studio.

But I would say they are both cool places to go, and I would trust either with my hair.

Their prices seem about the same, which are about the same as any hairdresser in London.

Me and Ruby have been to Something Hell's and Miss Betty.

It's an amazing salon, right in Kingly Court off Carnaby Street.
There are also a few vintage shops worth a visit there as well - Fur Coat No Knickers, Strombolies Circus, Black Pearl and another I can't rememebr the name of.

Miss Betty and Mr Ducktails are very well known in France and are beginning to make a name for themselves over here. It is amazing just to watch Mr Ducktails cut the men's hair!!

I have been having my hair done here for a while, as Nina was just too hard to get hold of.
Betty is lovely and the place has a friendly atmosphere. She is also queen of the up-do and cuts a mean bob.
