La nostra storia

A boutique salon that feels like home.

Fernando and Romina came to London from Italy and opened Milano in 2008, tucked into Hildreth Street Mews in the heart of Balham. Nearly two decades on, most of our clients are regulars from Balham and Clapham South, and plenty more travel across London to sit in our chairs.

There's a piano in the corner, plants in the window and no rush. Every appointment starts with a proper consultation and a wash with a head massage, then the cut, colour or finish you actually came for.

Fernando and Romina are so welcoming. Romina gives the best head massages I have ever had at any hairdresser, ever. The salon is very stylish and I always come away happy.

Sarah Ryan

Stumbled across this amazing place about five years ago. Easily the best haircut I have had, and it always comes with outstanding service.

Mark

I was looking for a proper salon in Balham for men's styling. A head massage with the wash, then excellent attention to detail with the cut. This is now my regular.

Nick Lamberts

They did such an amazing job of my mum's highlights. You couldn't see any greys at all, and it made her look so much younger. Amazing stylists, relaxing salon.

Gwyn De Vera

Fernando opened the shop just for us at late notice. Organic, natural products, a great regrowth colour for my mum and a lovely cut and blow dry for me.
