Salon Review: Sulis London

Sulis London is tucked away behind Oxford Street, away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to indulge in some post slon shopping. Upon entering it you're welcomed by a friendly receptionist and invited to take a seat on the deliciously inviting chaise lounger with a Union Jack cushion. Glass chandeliers decorate the ceiling and there are polished mirrors lining the walls. The design is kept quite minimalist so you get a cool but classy vibe, and the magazines are all up to date (always important).

I was ushered to a seat where the technical director, Melanie Lewin talked me through what I was looking for, and we decided that as well as a root touch up we'd also add some highlights to my hair to break the colour up a bit more. She was very attentive and listened to me explain how I was going for a whiter blonde, rather than golden and took that into consideration, as she then applied two colours for the highlights to add depth and tone to the hair.

I really liked how much attention she paid to my wishes, and was impressed with her experience, as she has previously styled models for Issa, Julian Macdonald and Alice Temperley, specializing in blonde tones.

I was kept comfortable with drinks and magazines as I waited for the colour to take and admired the glossy cabinets full of Bumble & Bumble products- the salons preferred brand.

Melanie told me there was free Wi-Fi if I wished to check my emails, and that there was a laptop available for salon users- something I've never had in a salon before. I decided to concentrate on the luxury of the experience though, but filed away that idea for another visit.

Luigi Inglese, the Salon Director styled my hair and didn't wince once as he had to comb out my tangled extensions (a week away from being removed). He made this rather painful activity a joy with his entertaining stories and extravagant compliments- just what you want to have from your stylist. He gave me a sleek finish with a little spray for shine, which left the hair looking glossy with lots of natural movement

I was really happy with the colour as it was very natural, and the roots were broken up nicely with the highlights. The staff were friendly and informative, and just the right level of talkative, and I felt very comfortable there.
