Fabulous hairdresser with a great line in chat. A visit to Hair Schumi is always fun. You leave feeling like Jack Nicholson. August 2017 |

Things may change over the years but remain prime quality. I first visited the place in the 80s when coming to London for business. At the time Heinz had his salon close to the Goring Hotel and I could walk over easily. He had already his firm place in the books of A-list hairstylists. I loved the experience of having my hair treated by him. Over the years he may have moved to other places, taken on a passion for painting water colours or acrylics, become the hairdresser of celebrities. He has not given up fighting property developers and investors defending the preservation of the mixed structure of Chelsea. Recently I returned to see him after several years and encountered the same professional hairstylist full of ideas, charming and forthcoming. The experience was as expected completely satisfactory. Highly recommendable. Feb 2018 |

When traveling abroad I need some times a haircut locally. My benchmark is my Vienna hairdresser. As I am sporting a very short cut, performed either with scissors or clippers this drives from time the sweat on the forehead of a hair stylist, the closer he comes to the skin. Sometimes the result is therefore not convincing. On a recent trip to London my wife introduced me to Heinz Schumi, a celebrity hair stylist she first met in the 1980s. Over dinner he proposed to perform on me in his Chelsea salon which was a striking experience. Calm, measured and in no rush, using both scissors and clippers, Heinz delivered a cut that is one of the best I ever had. As expected, I look forward to return. Feb 2018 |

Heinz is a highly experienced and talented hairdresser. He is really outstanding at knowing what will suit me and what will work well with my lifestyle.A truly amazing ability both to be creative and to listen to the client. Although he is much in demand he will always struggle to fit clients in asap on " bad hair days" . Feb 2018 |

Heinz Schumi came to my home to cut and style my daughters' hair, and my hair, for a photoshoot. It was so very convenient having him come to our home and the results were wonderful!! We were thrilled - Heinz is a wonderful hairdresser - Thank you Heinz! Feb 2018 |

Heinz is a legend in his own lifetime not only as a great, knowledgeable and likeable character but as a very good hairdresser. A cut with "Schumi" is like a theatrical experience. When you leave you have a smile on your face and most importantly you are looking good! Feb 2018 |

Heinz Schumi has been cutting my hair for about 6 years and it’s always simply fantastic! He cares about every detail and has a huge amount of experience. I’d highly recommend giving him a try - he takes a real interest in all of his clients and it’s always a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Feb 2018 |

Heinz has been cutting my hair for a dizzyingly long time, and over that whole period I have never had anything other than a perfect haircut from him. His professionalism and friendliness has always has been genuinely exceptional, and he is an indefatigable local campaigner, should such discussions interest you. Five stars alone do not him enough credit! Mar 2018 |

I have known Heinz for 30 years - there is no one else in London that I would even consider for a haircut - he has sculpted my hair as it has progressed form thick bushy curly hair to a rather thin version of the original- I would recommend him to all ages and hair types. Mar 2018 |

I love getting my hair cut by Heinz, he does an exceptional job, very professional and works to the detail. My hair looks absolutely fabulous after his magic touch, I always leave feeling truly happy and 100% satisfied. April 2018 |
30, J. Ralph
An artist's eye and many decade's experience do make a difference! My hair was new to him, a mess and very overgrown, but after only a brief pause he set t work and quickly achieved exactly the "look" that has suited me since my youth. Like magic with the minimum fuss. I was very pleased as was my wife. April 2018 |
31, R. M. Thurrigl
Heinz Schumi has done my hair since i moved to London in 1984 and any other trip to any other hairdresser when i was out and away or abroad always ended with unsatisfactory haircuts hence i still see Heinz 34 years down the line for his secret is not to make it look like one has just been to the barbers . Thats his mantra . Never make it look like you just been and every one telling you you had a haircut. I think thats a good standard to go by. April 2018 |
32, M, Denman
Heinz has been doing my hair for at least 20 years with a cut, blow dry and conditioning treatment that definitely makes my face look better and that LASTS for weeks still looking good. It's easy to make an appointment, even at short notice, and his new salon couldn't be more convenient, across from South Kensington station and well served by buses. Best of all, intelligent conversation - if you want to talk - ranges over the broadest spread of topics, art, travel, politics ........... April 2018 |
33, D. Fraser
I owe Heinz my wife . When we first met I had just had my hair cut by Heinz , 'what a haircut ' she said ! The rest is history ! Heinz has been cutting my hair for 30 years , I have learned more about what is going on in life in his chair than anywhere else . Also his art , investment quality. April 2018 |
34, E.Schaefer
I had the pleasure of my first hair cut by Heinz today. What a difference to the usual "clip'n'go" treatment that never quite leaves anyone satisfied. There was an astonishing attention to the little details, a job very well done and overall a pleasant experience. The little things are also important and a haircut is no exception. Thank You. April 2018 |

HEINZ SCHUMI has been cutting and colouring my hair for several years and I have always been extremely pleased with the results. The colour is subtle but at the same time vibrant and glossy and my hair is always styled in an original and flattering cut. April 2018 |

Always a great haircut! I heartily recommend Heinz. May 2018 |
41, V. Ward
Heinz has been cutting my hair since I was a teenager and even when I lived abroad, I always came back to him because he’s simply the best hairdresser I know. Over the years, he’s had numerous salons but now he’s downsized and is still delivering precision-cut hairstyles. He’s kept pace with fashion throughout his career and is equally at home with classic cuts and modern trends. Linda, his colourist, works wonders and is a dedicated and gifted individual. I would not go anywhere else. May 2018 |
42, I. Van Wagner
The day I found the Schumi brothers I never looked to anyone else for my hair. They know exactly how hair should be cut and they keep up with trends. They also have Natalie who colours hair beautifully. One can count on a complete hair experience through them. Once you have found Heinz and or Gregor Schumi your hair will glow. May 2018 |
43, O, Adeane
I first went to Heinz Schumi in the late 1970’s . He was famous for layering and cutting with both hands! I was twenty two with long straight hair. He layered it in such a flattering style that my own mother didn’t recognise me and was cross that my boyfriend was appearing on her doorstep with an attractive strange girl! Now years later I found Heinz again on Instagram. Again he has subtly restyled my shoulder length hair making it look younger and easier for my to blow dry myself. It has been noticed and admired by all . His attention is meticulous. His nice assistant blow dries brilliantly. The experience is enjoyable as Heinz is also such an interesting artistic and caring person! He is the best hairdresser I have ever been to- I am lucky to have found him again! May 2018 |

Heinz is a man of many talents. He is equally skilled with men's hair and gives me a perfect haircut every time, including 'treatment', hairwashing, and massage. He also provides excellent conversation! Would not go anywhere else. May 2018 |
51. S. Long
Heinz has been cutting my hair since 2001 when I moved into St Luke's Street, a few doors down from his salon at the time. I immediately knew I would never go to anyone else, and have enjoyed visiting him in all his subsequent locations. There is no need to explain, he knows exactly what you want, and apart from the excellent haircut, there is the bonus of his great chat. It is like dropping in on a dear friend and I hope we can continue the arrangement for decades to come. Nathalie also gave me some great colour tips. May 2018 |
52. C. Valansot
Schumi just seems to know what I want, (even if I cant explain it to him at all), and also knows what would suit me and then just executes it beautifully. I am quite picky about my hair being nicely cut and delighted to be with Schumi. May 2018 |

The best haircut I have had in more than 20 years, and it looks great the morning after (always a great test). Extra special as cut from shoulder length to short, and makes me feel lighter and so much younger. Lovely salon, very nice people and Heinz Schumi is a genius! June 2018 |

I met Heinz Schumi in Knightsbridge in the 1970s when my modeling agency sent me to do some promotional work for his salon. It was a great match.Often there would be celebrities in the salon waiting to be styled by Heinz but once I was in the chair I always had his full attention . I continued going to Schumi for haircuts and good conversations long after I switched from modeling to filmmaking. Eventually the salon left Knightsbridge, and I left London for the US. Visiting London this week I was delighted to hear that Heinz is still working his magic, now at the excellent Spencer Clinic in South Ken. A joyous reunion took place, and I love my summer cut! There are many hairdressers in London, but only one Heinz Schumi - a fascinating man and hair styling master. July 2018 |
81, I.Henderson
I have been visiting Gregor Schumi and the Schumi's for 20 years now. I have very thick hair and as a man i was sick and tired of telling the hairdresser how to cut my hair every time i went to a shop . Gregor very quickly worked out my hair type and gave me exactly what i needed. He knows when to talk and when you might be having a bad day - so he just gets on with . The best Hairdressers in Kensington and Chelsea by a Country mile ! July 2018 |

HEINZ SCHUMI: I have know Heinz, both as a friend as a cutter extraordinary, who has cut my hair with consummate artistry for more than 20 years. He is an artist beyond compare, who combines a profound knowledge of world affairs and matters of topical interest with his skills as a hairdresser. If you have forgotten to read your Times or The Week, you can always rely on Heinz to bring you up to date. I cannot recommend him highly enough as a hairdresser, both for those with a full head of hair, which I used to enjoy, but also for those with less hair, where somewhat surprisingly a cut is all the more difficult in order to make the most of what little you have! (Nicholas Padfield QC) GREGOR SCHUMI: Gregor is simply the best haircutter I have ever found, and I have searched. I have often wondered whether I might be able to find someone as good or even better (when Gregor is away) but I have been totally unsuccessful. I don't want my hair washed or styled, I just want a brilliant cut and to get away in less than half an hour. This is what he delivers. I don't know what the magic of the razor is, but, like Heinz, Gregor uses it, and it works. (Mary) July 2018 |
83. I.Ellis
Always guaranteed a beautiful cut by Heinz, he has been cutting my hair since I was a young child, and I have always walked out feeling much happier with a lovely haircut, and am extremely happy with my latest hair cut, which is going to look great this summer. Wouldn’t go anywhere else, as nowhere I have been to cuts quite as well as them. July 2018 |
