Richard Ward

From the outside it may look like a swish King’s Road cappuccino joint, with ladies picking at posh salads on the terrace (ordered in from local delis by salon staff), but from the moment Richard Ward’s flawless maitre d’ Gavin greets you, you’re assured a regal hair experience (a regular is the new Duchess of Cambridge). They do things differently at Richard Ward: placing the hairdressing on the first floor means the clients won’t get papped, and you can wait for your appointment in the bar with a glass of wine. Non-surgical Carita facelifts are offered along with cuts. While it certainly isn’t cheap (a cut with a graduate stylist starts at £62), if you do decide to indulge you’ll certainly leave feeling every penny of that million dollars.
