THE STUDIO

We took the chairs out so we could think.

Maren opened in 2018 with one rule: no more than five clients in the room at once. That meant losing a third of the revenue and gaining all of the time. Eight years later the room is exactly the same size, the waiting list is six weeks, and our colourists still have an hour of head-space before every appointment. We think the work is better for it. The reviews suggest you do too.

WHAT IRIS SAID
They asked me what I wanted my hair to feel like in three weeks, not what reference I’d brought. I haven’t been to another salon since 2021.

Before you book.

How far in advance do you book?

Six weeks on average for a senior stylist; sometimes a fortnight for a Tuesday morning. If you need a chair sooner, ask us — cancellations happen most weeks.

I’ve had a bad colour somewhere else. Can you fix it?

Almost always. Book a free 20-minute colour-correction consultation first — we want to see the hair in person and tell you honestly what’s possible in one session vs two.

Do you offer student or NHS rates?

Yes. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are reserved for our reduced-fee chair: 25% off any treatment for students, NHS, and key workers with ID.

Where are you?

A converted print works on Lonsdale Road, three minutes from Notting Hill Gate. Door is unmarked — look for the cream awning between the florist and the deli.
