When it comes to finding a hair salon in London, there’s an endless array of salons to choose from, but Haug London Haus stands out not just for its impressive interiors but for the exceptional talent and community spirit fostered within its walls. The salon, located in the heart of Fitzrovia (situated conveniently just down the road from the famed Italian Bear Chocolate shop – the hot chocolate is a must-try), was brought to life by the dynamic husband and wife duo, Siobhan and Philipp Haug. Siobhan, a former British Colour Technician, and Philipp, the former London Hairdresser of the Year and official BAFTA lead stylist, envisioned a unique salon experience that fills a gap in the market by fostering a genuine sense of community.
From the moment you step into Haug London Haus, it’s clear that this isn’t just any hair salon. The choice of a residential interior designer over traditional salon interiors has resulted in an extraordinary, homely ambiance. Expect a relaxed and cosy space, thanks to a colour palette of rose pink, almond, and forest green and thoughtful textures and details, including USB docks at every station, allowing clients the flexibility to work while they get their hair done – a modern necessity in today’s world. To make clients even more at home, there’s the Haus Bar, inspired by the comfort of a homely kitchen, serving leaf teas, coffee, prosecco, and craft beer… cheers to that!
The salon offers a range of luxury services, from bespoke haircuts to Brazilian blow dries and intricate long hair styling, along with barbering and perms that we hear are making a comeback. Their colour services truly shine – whether you’re looking for sunkissed highlights or a light-reflecting tonal gloss, the team at Haug London Haus delivers with unparalleled expertise, headed up by colour wizard Siobhan. Each stylist possesses a deep understanding of colour and styling, ensuring that every client leaves with a look that’s perfectly tailored to their individual style.
The icing on the cake at Haug London Haus is the signature hot towel service provided with every appointment. These towels, infused with essential oils changed on a daily basis such as tea tree, lavender, or lemongrass, offer a moment of pure relaxation – it’s like receiving a warm, fragrant hug. This attention to detail extends to every aspect of the salon’s service, creating an experience that feels both indulgent and personal.
The team at Haug London Haus, though small with just seven members, is perfectly formed. Each stylist brings a wealth of experience and creativity to the table, contributing to the salon’s reputation for excellence. The clientele reflects the salon’s creative spirit, attracting individuals from innovative companies like Meta and Netflix, as well as local business owners. There’s a palpable sense of trust and camaraderie among the regulars, which speaks volumes about the quality of service and the genuine community feel that Siobhan and Philipp have cultivated.
Haug London Haus has quickly become a beloved fixture in Fitzrovia. The salon’s commitment to creating a welcoming, community-oriented space is evident in every detail, from the carefully chosen interiors to the personalised service. It’s this combination of exceptional skill, warm hospitality, and innovative design that sets Haug London Haus apart in the crowded landscape of London hair salons.
