BARBER & PARLOUR

64-66 Redchurch St, London E2 7DP

If there was an award for the coolest salon in London Barber & Parlour would win it hands down. Set across three floors the building is home to an Electric Cinema in the basement, a cafe, shop and Neville barbers on the ground floor and Cheeky nail salon and hair by Josh Wood above. It’s owned by Soho House & Co so it’s no surprise that the interior design has a modern feel to it whilst also looking like it could of been there for years. If you’re looking for somewhere to get your haircut in London with a bit more soul than your usual white-wash salons check out Barber & Parlour. Cuts from £50.

BELLI FUORI

44 Chatsworth Road, E5 0PL

Website

Rolling hair, beauty and vintage into one, Belli Fuori sees owner Gio bring her Italian style and influence to Clapton. Involved in the industry since she was very young, six years old in fact, Gio has an old school family approach and that means getting to know their clients. The prices are decent and the shop also offers a range of beauty treatments and massages. With a love of art, Belli Fuori provides a space in the salon for independent artists changing every three months. The handpicked vintage clothing? It all comes from Italy and you can find some gems there. More than just a salon isn’t it?

BLUE TIT

121 Lower Clapton Road, E5 0NP

Website

Since opening in Clapton, Blue Tit have spread their wings all over town. But this salon has a very different feel to the rest of ‘em with founder Perry taking inspiration from his travels to build the salon. All the furniture comes from antique markets, reclaim yards and the parquet floor even came from eBay.

Bringing the best of both worlds with a couple of vintage armchairs and an open fire upstairs, it’s like you’ve stepped into someone’s cosy living room, but then downstairs you can find their swishy curved photographic studio. All about the experience, you won’t just be getting a bloody good haircut or colour at Blue Tit, but beer, snacks and probably some new friends too.
