About us

Award-Winning

Richard’s uber-cool, award-winning Sloane Square salon plays host to a team of over 90 expert staff, looking after the hair and beauty needs of over 1,200 clients per week. Housed in a stunning Grade II listed building flooded with natural light, the RW brand has been synonymous with creating chic Chelsea hair and beauty for 3 decades.

Past winner of Outstanding Salon of the Year at the London Hair and Beauty Awards, and Hair Magazine’s London Salon of the Year, the salon has been described as ‘leisurely and luxurious yet unpretentious’. Home to over 250 innovative hair and beauty treatments and services, all designed to deliver couture hair and bespoke beauty, the salon includes the renowned Metrospa, our unique brand of city day spa; a state-of-the-art pampering zone featuring expert, celebrated therapists and exclusive Decleor, SkinCeuticals, Intraceuticals and Shellac and Footlogix treatments.

Richard’s unique, long-standing team has been dubbed by Vogue Magazine as ‘obsessional about that elusive personal touch’ in his ‘spectacularly sunny, cleverly sectioned space’, likening the salon’s manager Gavin to a maitre’d at The Ivy. Italian Vanity Fair describes Richard Ward Hair & Metrospa as one of the most ‘ultra-glamour salons’ not only in Europe but world-wide, cementing Richard’s Italian reputation as ‘Golden Scissors’ and further cementing his global reputation for his eponymous, inimitable Chelsea Blow Dry.
