What is it?
GA Notting Hill (short for Gennaro Dell'Aquila, the name of their founder), five minutes from Notting Hill Gate station, offers haircuts, organic hair dye, blowdrying services and more.
What’s the vibe?
As we all start thinking a little bit more about what we put into our bodies, it might be time to start thinking about what we’re putting into our hair too. And that’s where GA Salons come in. These guys are all about using only the natural stuff; plants and roots, with none of the chemicals. The idea, they tell me, is to fight back against the cycle you’re otherwise trapped in; using products that strip the hair of its natural oils, and then having to get more products to replace it.
How did it go?
But they aren’t messing around here: these are premium products, and not only did my blowdry at GA leave me looking shiny AF, I wore that same hair out on the weekend (five) days later, and it still looked as good as when I got it done. In fact I was very sad to wash it with my own products. Next time, I’ll stock up on theirs; GA sell everything from shampoo to face masks.
What treatment should I get?
I got a haircut and blowdry but I’ll be back for a balyage. Oh, and it’s not just hair here either; depending on the store (there are branches in Chelsea, South Ken and Wimbledon), you can treat yourself to manicures, body sculpting, lash tint and more. Trust this team: I felt so safe in the hands of my hairdresser Gabriella, I even took the plunge and got bangs!
