Past salon experiences include:
- The hairdresser burning you whilst checking himself out in the mirror.
- Fluorescent lights giving you a pounding headache.
- Getting high from the smell of nail varnish remover.

Sometimes being pampered is anything but relaxing.

Not at The Crib, an exceptionally chilled out beauty salon-cum-private home that’s still an insider secret amongst neighboring Chelsea residents.

Kick back in one of three beautifully furnished rooms and watch a DVD while your hair is cut, styled, coloured or blown dry. Sip a glass of wine or a frothy cappuccino while you have your makeup done, or enjoy a mani-pedi from the resident therapist.

Once you’re done, they’ll ensure there’s a cab waiting outside for you.

A service they provide on the house.
