June 4, 2023

This year, beauty came back. After over a year (on and off) of not being able to visit our favourite salons, spas and clinics for our usual beauty pick-me-ups, their return was welcomed with open arms. Because sure, while learning how to do our nails, hair and waxing at home was fun for a little while, the truth is, going to the salon for a beauty treatment is an experience you just can’t recreate at home.

Having said that, since beauty has opened back up, it’s safe to say that the way in which we want to spend our time has changed. Pre-pandemic, many of us wouldn’t have batted an eyelid at the prospect of running around town, hopping from salon to salon to tick off our beauty chores. Nowadays, however, we want convenience. Not only do we want to minimise the amount of indoor public spaces we enter, but we’re also demanding a slower, more enjoyable approach.

Best London Beauty Salons: @aimeesong

If you’re a fan on natural beauty treatments, this one is for you. Kalon Parlour’s dreamy interiors will have you reaching for your phone to snap every corner for interiors inspo. The treatments, which are all vegan-friendly and cruelty-free range from nails and brows to lashes and waxing. There is also a medi-spa that offers facials and massages. And as for the bar? It’s the perfect place to enjoy a post-treatment tipple.
