HOT: Aveda Hairdressing, Kensington Church Street

Claire was recommended to me by Tracey from Aesop (see above) on my first day in London. She's a powerhouse hairdresser - ex-Toni & Guy assistant director, confidently skillful and talks at a million miles an hour. She really funked up my hair, only appropriate as my sartorial standards are taken up a notch in fashionable London. All for £40, apparently a bargain price in London. Ouch!
