Taylor Taylor London

Complete with a bar, cupcakes, pretty vintage china and a liberal dose of quirky charm, this Parisian-style salon is so good they named it twice. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and offer a full range of beautifying services – from manicures and pedicures, cool cuts and colour, to botox and an express service (where two technicians will have you in and out in half the time). Highly recommended is the exclusive take on the Brazilian Blowout treatment (from £55). Giving customers the trichological equivalent of a ‘road to Damascus’ moment results in perfectly glossy, rain-proof, ‘wash and wear’ hair (even for colour damaged locks) for up to three months. A wahs and cut is from a reasonable £48, and colour from £65.
