I have been making the pilgrimage to Vaishaly’s Marylebone clinic for the past couple of years now, and have never once been disappointed. Her no nonsense approach to clients is a breath of fresh air & instantly puts you at ease, regardless of how bad your skin is! If you can afford to treat yourself, then book in for a Signature facial with Vaishaly herself. After a thorough assessment of your skin she offers advice on how to make improvements, whether dietry or lifestyle, then gets to work on deep cleansing, extracting & polishing your skin until it glows. The treatment is finished off with an incredible facial massage that incorporates elements of cranial massage and leaves you feeling incredibly relaxed. If you have congested skin or suffer from break outs, book in for a High Frequency treatment once a month (£50). It has made a huge difference to my skin & I would recommend it to anyone suffering in silence!

If you are dreading the prospect of dry, crispy post holiday hair then why not get pre-empt the disaster by booking yourself in for a Collagen Infusion treatment at Paul Edmonds before you go. The collagen mask is ‘painted’ onto your hair which pumps it full of moisture & helps to protect it from sun exposure, meaning no more frazzled ends or hair that looks like straw! If you are feeling a little frazzled yourself, ask to use one of the newly opened private treatment rooms and save time by having a manicure or a pedicure while you wait. Then finish off with a blow dry by the brilliant Lottie and you will literally float out of the salon feeling like a goddess.

If you find yourself needing an emergency beauty treatment as well as a haircut, head over to Aveda’s recently revamped Lifestyle salon in Marylebone. As well as the usual plant based hair treatments, colour & cuts, they are now offering manicures, pedicures, eyebrow threading and facials from a private room within the salon. The stylish salon has been redesigned using recycled & sustainable materials such as bamboo & cork, and feels more like a luxurious spa than a beauty salon. If you don’t have time for a full beauty treatment, but crave a bit of peace and quiet, just walk in off the street and receive a complimentary 10 minute hand or shoulder massage.The perfect pitstop for world weary urbanites.
