The Parlour

Price: Braids from £20, blow-dries from £30

Duration: Under 45 minutes

What’s the buzz: This up-and-coming blowdry and braid bar in Turnham Green was founded by owner Jacqueline Fletcher as an antidote to what she saw as the harsh, homogenised nature of many chain salons. Certainly, with its retro feel, bright colours and pick-me-up messages painted over the walls, it really couldn’t be more different from your average high street hairstylist. Whilst vintage styles and intricate braids are on offer, you can also have a modern blow-dry.
