Live True London, multiple locations
When it comes to Christmas, nothing says festive glam quite like a trip to a luxury hair salon, and with four salons across London, Live True is a trend-setting urban salon that puts its clients’ vision first. Their flagship salon is in the heart of lively Soho and features trendy interiors with statement neon lighting, ornate chandeliers and exposed piping, as well as an Instagram wall for the perfect post-treatment snap.
The salon itself offers a cutting-edge treatment menu delivered by some of the best stylists in the industry. Live True specialises in colour and caters to all hair types, tones and textures, with a team who will take the time to sit and talk through your immediate and long-term hair goals, ready to bring your vision to life.
To get your hair in tip-top condition for party season and the New Year, head into the salon and choose from their special Christmas menu. For brunettes, their chocolate melt balayage features dark chocolate tones at the root, blending into a warm and rich colour through the mid-lengths to ends. If you’re looking to liven up your blonde, then opt for an icy twist on the classic balayage with creamy neutral tones and ashy blonde tones to brighten up your look.

When it comes to colour, expert Stylist Flora documents her colour transformations on the salon’s Instagram as well as her own. In these transformation snaps, she has tailored meticulous highlights to create multi-dimensional colour, framing the face with icy blonde money pieces while allowing some of the darker golden shades to come through for extra depth. Toner combined with a deep conditioning Olaplex treatment is then applied, protecting both the hair and the colour, before the roots are softened with a root smudge to give a chic lived-in look.
With Christmas fast approaching, Live True is a go-to for any hair needs – plus there’s a range of offers available, making this one of the more affordable luxury hair salons in London.

Luxe nail care brand Townhouse are on a mission to elevate the nail industry and, with the imminent launch of their eighth nail salon, it’s clearly working. Known for beautifully intricate nail art and industry-leading technology and treatments, Townhouse is the perfect place to book yourself in for an extended pamper this festive season.
The newly launched seasonal collection features six different festive nail art designs, ideal for those Christmas parties. Two standout looks from the collection are Dazzling Disco and Electric Evening. Dazzling Disco’s milky white base with chrome glitter polished on top gives a Hailey Bieber-inspired look, whilst Electric Evening puts a twist on the traditional French manicure with pops of silver foil through each nail.
If none of Townhouse’s A/W-inspired looks take your fancy, then you can always pick from their classic collection, available all year round. Northern Lights from this range would make a gorgeous festive look to get into the Christmas spirit. There’s lots more inspiration in their full rundown of nail art collections here.
A signature gel manicure costs £40 with an additional £25 for nail art; clients can also choose to keep the nail art to two nails or go for a bespoke finish. For the longevity and intricacy of the award-winning nail salon’s work, this is one beauty treatment worth investing in this holiday.

Founded by sisters and leading plastic surgeons Dr Veerle and Joëlle Rotsaert, this new salon brings together a highly skilled team to offer the latest in aesthetic treatments.
