Treat Yo Self | Flamboyage @ Blue Tit London


Blue Tit London is a boutique London Salon that has eight locations across the city. It is also a name that comes up a lot among friends and beauty industry girls... everyone loves it. So it was about time I got my ass to Blue Tit to see what the fuss was all about...

First things first, Blue Tit is a seriously cool salon. Cool to the point of intimidating. The interior is dope, the team of highly trained and those uber creative stylists and colourist look like they stepped out of the pages of i-D magazine. However the second you walk in, you realise everyone is grounded AF and super welcoming.

I went to the Blue Tit Streatham Hill salon (69 Streatham Hill, London SW2 4TX). However, from what I've heard, you should expect the same level of service and treatment in any of the locations - which include Peckham, Dalston, Crouch Hill, Clapton, Brockley, East Village and Brixton.


I was at Blue Tit for a colour (flamboyage), cut & blowdry and my experience began with a consultation with Head Colourist Andrea (absolute fucking babe). I talked her through the look I was going for and she explained what was possible... after all I was bleaching my hair and neither of us wanted dry or broken ends! I then had a consultation with stylist Federico who was cutting my hair post-colour. Like Andrea, Federico was super helpful and - importantly - honest about what kind of cut would work well for my hair type (which is fine-as-fuck FYI).

As to be expected, the flamboyage took a while - although my hair is fine, it's long and there is quite a lot of it. However me and Andrea put the world to rights, I had coffee on tap and my surroundings were so relaxing that the three hours spent in the chair (total), only felt like one.

When the bleach was rinsed out, a toner was applied to create the perfect colour. Then came the cut. I wish I could tell you the cut was transforming but I'm boring and only ever get a blunt trim. However I did receive one of the best hair cuts I've ever had - as straight as an arrow. After my hair was blow-dried, I was able to see the final result - a gorgeous natural flamboyage the goes from dark at the roots to light brown on the ends. The condition of my hair was also much healthier (thanks to the generous chop) and uber soft and nourished (thanks to the Opalex treatment I was blessed with).


Price wise, Blue Tit London is relatively affordable (compared with other London salons, of course). A girls cut starts at £51, styling from £35, colouring from £52 (a full head of flamboyage starts at £130) and treatments from £16.

For any London girl in need of a cut or colour, I would definitely recommend hitting up Blue Tit.
