Esther of Hare & Bone does my colour and cut every few weeks, even though she spends much of her time in Spain now.

Refreshing my colour and reshaping my hair with a great cut helps to build my self-confidence, and I always get compliments after my visits.

I also enjoy the massage chair and head massage while I'm having my hair washed - really relaxing!

The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the salon is smart and modern without being pretentious. It's in a good location, too, a short walk north from Oxford Circus and about 10 minutes from Warren Street.

It is a bit pricey, though.
