Less Is Margaux | The Natural Hair Group Adds a Third London Salon

Margaux Salon's new West Hampstead site swaps the usual treatment-menu overload for fewer products, fewer steps, and a calmer room to sit in.

Margaux started in Highbury, added Kentish Town, and has now landed a third site on Mill Lane in West Hampstead, without much fanfare, which feels about right for a salon built on doing less rather than more. It’s tucked on a lane just off the main high street, and the location alone gives it a proper neighbourhood feel rather than a destination salon you’d travel across town for.

The whole philosophy here runs against the treatment-heavy salon model most of us have sat through: endless upsells, endless steps, a shelf of products you’ll never open again at home. Margaux works with low-tox, vegan formulations and pushes clients toward routines that are actually maintainable, rather than a 12-step regime you’ll abandon by February.

We started with a proper, thoughtful consultation before anything touched our hair, none of the rushed five-minute chat you get elsewhere. From there it was a cut and blow dry using that stripped-back product system, fewer products doing more work rather than a full shelf’s worth.

We left with hair that was shiny, well blow dried, and still had its natural curl rather than being blasted straight, which is exactly the “considered, not overcomplicated” pitch Margaux is making.
