There is no feeling like settling down in a London hair salon before you head on holiday . It marks the start of your holiday mood – you’ve made your packing list , or even finished packing altogether, turned your OOO on and now it’s your time to relax. Below, we have personally tried and tested London’s best hair salons that guarantee everything you need for your trip: beautiful bouncy blowouts, incredible colour, and – best of all – time to unwind.

From a sleek, marbled icon in Kensington to a haven for creatives in the East Village, these are the best hair salons in London for your pre-holiday appointment. Getting your hair done is always a treat, but while many relish the opportunity to get pampered and forget about the world beyond the salon, others struggle to switch off fully or simply have too much to do to take time out. Samantha Cusick not only knows this but embraces it.



The business model behind her successful London brands is targeted at busy modern women, and her clientele proves it – Mel C, Grace Beverly, Zoe Sugg and Tanya Burr, to name a few. Samantha knows what women want and need, and her easy-breezy salons prove it. Her latest venture is no exception – Stā Studios is a hybrid space in Bank, where working women can pop in for a lunchtime trim or post-work drink.

There’s a coffee and cocktail bar, a co-working area, podcast studios and private hair studio spaces. There’s even an option to book a “quiet treatment” if you need to sit .
