LOCKS LOADED
It’s no secret that I think the best treat to yourself (other than a fabulous facial) is having the best blow dry. After years of living in London, I’ve gotten recommendations on recommendations for the best hair salons in central London but there are a few that I would suggest to anyone, including you, my dear readers! I find that a good blow dry can instantly bolster your mood and make you feel so 10x better. I have also heard horror stories of girls going to get their hair done and having some of the worst experiences imaginable! So to avoid all that, I am letting you into my Little Black Beauty Book where I’m going to be sharing all my favourite beauty spots in London, kicking off with my favourite hair salons.
A quick note. This is not a static list. As I discover new places and try out new salons, I will add them into this look so don’t worry if your area isn’t covered just yet! Drop me a comment below and I will be sure to expand the list! I’m so excited about this new series (yes series, next I’ll be covering another beauty treatment we all need regularly) and I hope you are too!
MICHAEL VAN CLARKE
Location: Marylebone
This is my favourite salon in London. I think they do the most fabulous job when it comes to hair. They have a blow dry bar where you can get your hair washed, a head massage and a fantastic blow dry all for £20. As you go higher with the stylists the price rises too but no matter what level you choose, you’re going to be happy with the results. They also have a really lovely little canteen which serves up tons of healthy dishes (their salads and shakes; so yummy!) Pro Tip: They also do make up, beauty treatments, and they have a braid bar! I also get my haircut here and I couldn’t recommend them enough.
SELFRIDGES; DANIEL GALVIN
Location: Selfridges, Oxford Street
This is a favourite of a lot of women I speak to, not only because of it’s very convenient location but because of how good Daniel Galvin is generally speaking with hair. They are a tried and tested name around London so you know that you’re going to have an amazing treatment. It’s also incredibly convenient to be able to get your hair done while you’re shopping for your outfit for the evening! Pro Tip: If you don’t mind washing your own hair, Selfridges also has a smaller blow-dry bar on the ground floor. They are very quick and very good!
DRYBY
Location: Mortimer Street
No London girl I know can resist DryBy. They are quick and easy and are super convenient if you need a blow dry and you need one fast. They are incredibly efficient and the whole point is that you can walk by, have your hair done and go straight on to your next event. It’s located right next to Psycle so if you happen to be one of those girls who likes to get her work out in no matter what (guilty as charged) then you can get an appointment with DryBy after and have them sort out your locks!
JO HANSFORD
Location: Mayfair
I won’t lie to you, Jo Hansford is pricey but they are one of the best salons in Mayfair. This will not be a quick visit, so make sure you have time on your hands if you decide to book in an appointment here as well! They have really lovely stylists who make you feel right at home and they are all very talented when it comes to styling as well! For one of my birthdays, they styled my hair in the coolest way with so many braids that I was baffled when I was finally undoing it!
So, have you tried any of these salons? What are your favourite places to get a good blow dry in London! Comment below!
