Our salon spy has been out and about again and look what they’ve found – the John Carne Hairdressing salon which has just opened its doors in Knightsbridge. The small chain, already well established in Wimbledon and Guildford, has decided to head central and debut their first London salon on Montpelier Street, SW7.
We sampled the Winter Revival Treatment followed by a chop with Sean the Salon Manager. The Winter Revival Treatment is designed to replenish weather-beaten hair and ours was in need of some desperate replenishing. The treatment room is hidden away downstairs, which is always a plus in a hair salon as you get to relax away from the hair dryers and holiday chatter. The treatment room features massage chairs and the comfiest neck sink we’ve come across.
After the treatment which included a nice long massage we were whisked upstairs half asleep where we were combed, cut and dried. Sean and the rest of the team are welcoming and friendly, and as the salon was fairly quiet we had the chance to have a good old gossip – the staff are down to earth and the salon is unpretentious – probably quite a rare find in Knightsbridge.
We left the salon with a shiny head of healthy hair and three days later it’s still silky smooth. Hair cuts start from £60 whilst the Winter Revival Treatment will set you back £32.50. Check it out people!
