I want more from my hair salon than vacant small talk, a nice fringe and a cheap glass of wine. I want to be transported away from the stresses of London life, relaxing in the knowledge that I will be walking out the door in an hour looking fabulous and feeling all the better for it. Enter Stunt Dolly – the hot new Kingsland Rd shop that ticks all the above boxes. It may call Visions and Café Oto its neighbours, but rest assured, you will not leave with a dickhead haircut. This cosy beauty emporium is the dream project of Dean and David, an Australian couple hell-bent on ensuring their contemporary cut/colour techniques and eclectic menu of services are tending to their client’s every need. With nail art from Sophie Harris-Greenslade’s Illustrated Nail outfit, old-fashioned customer service and to-die-for décor, they’re off to great start. Book yourself in today. / Chloe McCloskey
