Mark Westbrook Hair is located close to Kew Garden's station tube at the far end of the district line, and it's worth making the trip out of town for this salon. A group of top-notch stylists do fabby things with hair (even if I do like mine to remain quite boring - shows they listen to you too, I suppose).

Mark is a character and a half, also check out Jay (great on curls according to friends), and Geo for his precision cuts.

Prices are at the high-end for a cut, at least £60-80 (Jan 2008). Colouring similar to any other decent salon.

You can also get your nails done as they cut your hair, if you are so inclined! And finally, they did my wedding hair. It was beautiful and it was very cheap, especially as they travelled to me in order to do it.
