London is by no means short of places to get pampered. Beauty salons aren’t exactly scarce, but the same cannot be said for the hidden gems that offer a high-end experience without (sometimes) the high-end price tags. The beauty of the hidden gem lies in its exclusivity- it’s only open to those few who know about them. If you’re looking to avoid the uniformity of the big chains and opt for something a little more personal, here are 5 underrated beauty salons in London that might be right for you.
Belle Cour has two salons to its name, with one nestled in Victoria and the other tucked away in Baker Street. Offering a wide range of non-invasive treatments, this salon tailors their services to meet the needs of every client.
With an emphasis on inner beauty and feeling good, it’s clear this salon takes good care of their customers. With fully trained and accredited technicians, their clients can choose from a range of services including facials, nail treatments, laser hair removal, waxing, massages, eyebrow threading and eyelash extensions.
Open till 8pm on weekdays, Belle Cour is perfect for a post-work pamper sesh.
As the name suggests, Covent Garden Beauty is centrally located, and just minutes away from Covent Garden tube station. They are specialists in a range of standard beauty treatments, but also offer their clients party or bridal makeup to help elevate their looks for special occasions.
Their fully trained staff are always up to date with the latest beauty trends, and will even offer a mobile service for certain treatments.
With an easy-to-use online booking system, this is an accessible salon that promises exceptional customer care.
Located in both Chelsea and Canary Wharf, Chelsea’s Little Gem offers the expected range of beauty services alongside some more advanced treatments such as Profhilo (a skin rejuvenation therapy designed to improve skin tone, texture, radiance and elasticity).
This salon offers their clients a wider scope of lesser known treatments while striving for the best results each time. A slightly heftier price tag for non-standard treatments is balanced out by fairer prices for more commonly sought after nail, brow and eyelash treatments.
Tucked away in Ealing, West London, Northfields Beauty Bar offers a range of both hair and non-surgical beauty treatments, and takes pride in a ‘down-to-earth’ approach that makes their clients feel at ease. From nail extensions to hair cutting, colouring and styling, a full beauty makeover is on the cards.
While Northfields is a great salon for me-time, they’re also happy to accommodate larger groups such as hen parties.
HB Therapy offers clients a holistic beauty experience away from the hustle and bustle of city life in both East Dulwich and Forest Hill. With almost 30 years of experience providing beauty treatments, they’ve come to swear by natural, non-toxic products to suit every client.
From tanning and waxing to nails and brows, there’s plenty of opportunities to allow yourself a confidence boost. HB Therapy’s expertise has grown into a training academy for budding technicians- proof that they’re good at what they do.
