King’s Road’s new blow-dry parlour screams young, west-London-meets-NYC glamma – think exposed brick walls, vast floral arrangements, model-worthy staff and even its own prosecco bar. But despite its swish set-up, Duck & Dry is committed to accessible pricing – a signature blow dry around the horseshoe-shaped blow bar is £25, or for an extra tenner you can get an updo thrown in.
Service is brisk and efficient, so if you're willing (or glad, as the case may be) to do without the holiday chit-chat and make do with the hi-energy chart hits blaring from the speakers you'll walk out within the hour with a glossy, Made in Chelsea-worthy mane, without the Made in Chelsea prices.
