Philosophy Studio
Philosophy Studio's senior stylists mostly cut for clients they've known a long time. On the price list, a thermal perm and an organic scalp ritual sit at the top, well above a cut.
Come here if
- You want one stylist who learns your hair visit by visit
- Your hair is dry and frizzy and you want it manageable

What people say
Regulars who stayed
Clients still book the stylist they first saw back when the place was called Hair Philosophy.
They explain what they are doing
Before cutting, your stylist asks how you live and how much styling you'll do, then tells you what he plans.
On a first perm, he talks you through what each step will do before he starts winding.
Hair from around the world
European hair, fine or curly, is everyday work here, and expat clients pass the salon's name around their online forums.
Hair that needs fixing
Hair that came in dry and frizzing leaves smooth, and it's still easy to manage weeks later.
The room
The studio is spacious and set up with care, and a drink arrives once you're in the chair.
