I’m not in the habit of venturing to Marble Arch, that peculiar middle ground between Bond Street and Notting Hill. I guess I never really had a reason to wonder there until now. A friend of mine recently reccommended a salon there to me in Connaught Village ( you know where Tony Blair lives) and tired of the usual hectic salons of west London I decided to book an appointment at Daniel Mikhael. Founded by the Lebanese Danny, the salon is run by him and his brother and a few other wonderful stylists ( specifcally Mariella). A little art-deco wonder room, Danny and his brother Joe welcome you with their open body-builder arms and ask ‘so what do you want to do today?’

I have been to countless salons in London and none can compare to the family vibe of Danny’s, they are so thoughtful and the salon is calm and quiet, Joe will even pop into near by Chocolatier Coco Maya to pick up truffle treats mid blow dry. From highlights to blow drys to fringes- go and visit Danny and his team next time your hair needs some attention!
