Reviews of Pak Cosmetic Centre
I. W.
I have bought various items from Pak's and each time I've received excellent customer service from the staff. They have all the latest items and there is always someone on hand to assist you.
N. M.
Love their products,bought off of them with no issues for years so has my mum.always easy to deal with once you have got through to the right place too.
L.
In the many years that I have been a customer, I have never seen this shop employ any women of colour. Considering that the target clientele is black women, this is Very disappointing. Surely as a customer you would want to be advised by someone with an understanding of your needs and who can give credible suggestions.
I find that the staff are not particularly friendly or welcoming and I have witnessed employees having conversations whilst serving. I am sure the discussion could be held after the customer has left the store.
Whilst they do offer a wide range of products, skin/ hair care, hair tools and make up, I prefer to spend my money at other beauty supplies.
B. C. E.
This is the ultimate super store for Black products. I mean they have absolutely everything. I spent half an hour deciding what pomade to get. I eventually bought more than one. They had stuff for a Jerry curl! Several exotic oils, barber tools, you name it. Unbelievable selection. Reasonable prices.
s. l.
Wide variety of wigs from full front lace, half lace, synthetic, human, all colour and styles. Would recommend to visit
c. O.
Great range of products, a lovely helpful lady in there, the men are not very helpful.
L. S.
This place is the only place I miss since moving out of London.. I love been out of London but miss been able to buy West Indian food and products.. Good prices big selection..
S. B.
Paks hair stores are quite large and you can usually always find what you want under one roof. The Ayumi Repair Oil is lovely for hair growth and thickening, especially when teamed up with some natural Shea butter....Paks has been around for a long time, and have become quite expensive (pricier than the avergae hair shop) and in London the streets are not short of a hair shop, so I do think it's worth it to shop around if you are on a stricter budget.
m. k.
Been going here for years, good customer service.. Array of beauty products...
N. E.
I have used pak, for 36yrs now they are the best shop. have everything you would want to do with hair. I also use the hair salon. Great people & good family & workers too.
C. M.
Great variety of african hair products and wigs.
L. C.
Amazing selection of natural hair and beauty products, I get Shea butter and almond oil to make my own lotions. But the customer service is terrible, the men that work there have creepy vibes, so I just try to get what I need and get out.
J. I.
Long time Afro hair care and skincare product institution. Easy to find locations Now that Superdrug and Boots stock several of the most popular ranges, they are not as competitive on price anymore. However if you have seen it in an Afro hair and beauty blog or magazine, there is a very high chance they will have it in store or online. Finsbury Park retail stalwarts.
E. M.
Such a huge range of stuff! I bought some henna at an excellent price. The staff on the shop floor were happy to offer to help too. Glad to have this store here! Easy to get to too from the station.
J. O.
I shop for different items, food and hair products. At times shop owners are helpful. Sometimes l fell uncomfortable as staff follow you around without uttering a word
v. j.
One of the best places to go for quality hair, hair accessories and cosmetics. Every girls dream
The staff are on point on the products and easy to talk to and very, very helpful.
This shop is one my guilty pleasures. Check it out! You go in for one item and come out with àll and sundry. You won't be disappointed. Check them out
Many outlets across London. 😍
J. L.
Almost every commercial low cost or mid range beauty product is sold here. From hair products to hair pieces... From soaps and creams to mirrors and scissors... From Barber shop supplies to hairdressers kits!!
But beware of products that are easy to open. Many have a recommended shelf life of 12 months after opening and as you often see people opening to see and smell, the products could be technically past it by the time they are purchased! Especially true of oils. Where possible, go for those sealed or you could end up with an already rancid product.
Really dislike all the skin bleaching products and what they promote... But that's a different topic.
Overall, brilliant group of stores for most off-the-shelf beauty supplies.
L. N.
Helpful staff, been around for year's
Me and my husband often pop in when shopping in Finsbury park
S. B.
Can get everything for your hair and skin
B. N.
So much choice but they didn't stock the product my wife wanted.
L. s. f.
Great selection on different products
B. A. H.
Great shop and value for hair products been a regular for years
M. E.
Very quick no queues.
Y. R.
Essentially the flagship store(s), so convenient to be able to buy all your hair, beauty and body care products in one area. However as usual with a lot of Asian-ran hair and cosmetics shops the staff have little to no knowledge of Black hair care needs other than being able to find what product(s) you'd like, so it's best to go in having already done your research and knowing what you want.
D. M.
Large range of hair and skin care products. Alot of staff cleaning things. And tgere was no queue at the till
#. b. f. B.
Very well stocked on supplies. Staff are very friendly and helpful
H. V.
Paks make so much money they forget the little man making them rich. They hardly want to help or say Thankyou after your purchase, which makes me unhappy to buy from them. Prices shoot up wen they feel like it. However great range of products
J. T.
Such an essential place to get good quality hair products, when places like boots and superdrug (plus others) know that black hair is the minority so they increase the price 10fold, I get what people saying about being followed but its their job to protect their stock.
T. V.
Some very good deals there. My personal favourite is the caffeine shampoo with 1.99£ and the aloe Vera deals £3.49. You will need to be careful though as some other products are more expensive than high street supermarkets
J.
Awful customer service. Very unhelpful. A parcel worth £70 went missing and Pak wouldn’t d resend The items. I had to pay again as I desperately needed hair for a client. A month later I still haven’t had a refund.
Eventually I did get my refund but I did need to call many times and thankfully spoke to a helpful guy- possibly the manager and he refunded me
M.
Amazing selection of hair and beauty products. Just everything is there .
m. m. G.
Thanks for your help guys ,from the lady who was lost ....see you soon .👍
S. C.
I went in having no idea what I needed and the man (didn't catch his name) was so helpful! He went through the wigs, half wigs and extensions with me, helped me pick which would work best and colour matched me. So so pleased and will definitely be going back
N. Y.
Its a typical beauty supply shop. It has loads of products.Some of the staff are very friendly and helpful but the ladies over counters are not. Overall the price is OK so I would recommend it.
i. t.
Cheap prices, professional quality of hair and personal hygiene products. One negative point: as the place is huge and packed with several products for the same purpose, you would expect the staff to help and advise you in your choice... unfortunately, none of the staff member will help you, so make up your mind first and then come visit the store!
M. B.
Every and anything to do with hair is here in paks this one in stroud green road is my favorite right now they have a few shops on the strip one for extensions one for wigs,cosmetics ...wicked! Customer service is ok too...check them out...parking is a breeze too.
D.
Clean and lots of hair extensions but items not available as expected. They need to do better stock taking. Customer service not very good though they are polite. No free parking. Parking fee paid online or by phone and charge levied in addition to very expensive parking fee. Get the bus or the train.
T. B.
First time ever to get hair extensions because the price is generally so expensive - literally stuck gold here - great hair - has lasted longer than expected and for a really good price - will definitely return...just to note - I also got a weave on thin (white Irish) brown hair and it worked perfectly
D. A. g.
Variety of skin, body and hair cosmetics
M. O.
It's okay as long as you know what your looking for. I was so lost trying to find the right hair to buy to do Senegalese twists. It was my The men that work there do not have a clue and are not helpful at all. Lots to choose from though.
A. R.
Bought Bounce Curl, Alikay lemongrass leave-in. Mane Choice crystal orchid biotin gel and the Mane Choice 3 in 1 soft as can be leave. Prices are great but SERVICE is AWFUL. Bounce Curl isn't online. Nightmare trying to call to find out which store has what as no one picks up.
V. B.
Years attending this store and customer service always a 5star polite full ranged service of care and high quality.
N. S.
Not all hair extensions are in a great quality. Note to pay attention to Indian remy - they are the best here. Prices are good - around 60pounds for full head.
L. C.
Huge range of products, great prices and diverse stock on offer. Well worth a browse. You'll see loads of new brands you've never heard of and get some bargains :)
R. L.
Good range of selection for everything hairdressing and fair prices
I. H.
Nice variety of hair products for natural hair , but the staff keep a eye on you the entire time. Overall great store , not the best customer service though . 😒😞
a. a.
Everything you need in a single shop or one of the other PAK shops across the road.
Every quality and very good prices.
Lost 1 star because customer service isn't great, but who cares when the prices and everything you want is there.
a. j.
Good selections of products, but one member of staff follows customers round like he is suspicious of everyone who walks in. However, prices are reasonable, and shelves are full
A.
Great store, great selection of products, got everything that I came for and more, good prices too
T.
Here you can find any cosmetic, hair or skincare product in any colour, size or substance. They also sell alot of high quality products and oils. Really love this place
K. M. (.
Nice variety of products but need to review some prices and especially need to train some staff to learn more about their products in order to better help customers
M. H.
Does one have a choice? A local satisfaction.
J. C.
Has absolutely everything for afro Caribbean hair care. It also has cosmetics and toiletries..from wigs, hair oils, toothpaste to make up. Good prices too!
C. K.
All afro Caribbean hair and beauty products sold here
J. P.
Everything you need for hair or lack of! The young lady that served me was really attentive and empathetic. I bought a hair piece that l didn't know existed. .thank you
N. C.
Very helpful and knowledgeable too
M. J. A.
I love this shop! They have everything I could think of of hair and skin products! A plus that one can also order online :)
R. B.
Good choice of products and prices reasonable, however some male staff in different stores are rude. No greeting, thank you or bye even when you say it to them it isn't reciprocated.
M. J.
Excellent place for afro cosmetics very friendly and helpful staff ,great setup and brilliant variety. Will go there more often
E. W.
Has everything you could ever wish for when it comes down to cheap beauty products, shelves stuff with every shampoo , conditioner, body lotions. Not just for the ethnic market, also European hair too
E. W.
Found staff to be helpful,got all my hair product
I. O.
A wide range of brands and styles but not enough variety within them, i.e. XPression hair in a style, but only in 14" with colours 1B, 30 and 350 but no 4 or 2 and then no other brand that does that style
E. A.
Wide variety of products but unfortunately staff dont always know what they are selling and aren't very familiar with products. Howrver the service has always been good and i leave satisfied for the most part
d. i.
Was happy got the wig I wanted at and was happy with price of large relaxer and neutralising shampoo
N.
I mean if you need ANYTHING to do with hair care, accessories, extensions, wigs and such...waste no time and come down to Finsbury Park, I'm sure you'll find it in 1 of the 4 stores and at very affordable prices 👌
K. “. G. G.
Staff always helpful.
T. M.
Have ordered products online from Pak Cosmetics for a few years now. Quick and easy process, and my order is usually delivered to me within 2 working days.
E. S.
Cheap prices for professional quality products. The staff is not very helpful so I recommend you make up your mind on what you need to buy before you go and you'll be fine.
M. N.
The service here is not great as the staff know nothing about the hair products so they dial to recommend the best products for you. You need to know what you're looking for for before you go.
M. L.
Lots of products to choose from.
C. G.
The customer service people are rude and only allow 2 teenagers in the shop at a time if they are in school uniform which is not fair because they obviously have a bad perception of teenagers when they see them but u should not judge a book by its cover
V. M.
Excellent store and great people. Has the most incredible range of products like you have never seen before.
M. K.
Incredible range of beauty and hair products, both for men and women.
