x marks the spot

Renya Xydis has revamped her buzzing Concept salon and set up shop a few doors down. Salon X by Renya Xydis is the glistening new hair and beauty haven by the celebrity snipper, and like each of her snipping sanctuaries no stone was left unturned in transforming the two-storey salon into the ultimate indulgent hideaway.

“We wanted a space that captured the energy and intimacy that Renya Xydis Concept had for so many years, whilst indulging clients in a unique and modern environment,” Xydis says.

Downstairs is where the Salon X styling team work their tress-styling magic, and where you can admire the Helmut Newton-esque gilded wall paper while at the basin. Upstairs is where Xydis’ famous Miss Frou Frou beauty parlour is based, offering luxe treats like the cult skin-soothing Carita facial, rose petal pedicure (our tried and tested must-do) and even a bronzed glow in the new glass spray-tan room.
