The quickest way to spot someone who's been to Studio Studios? Their hair. The appointment-only Shoreditch salon has quietly become responsible for some of London's most enviable cuts and colours, counting Gabbriette, Lola Young, Romy Madley Croft, Ellie Rowsell and Arlo Parks among its clientele. Tucked just a hop, skip and a jump from Shoreditch High Street station, it's the sort of place that's become a word-of-mouth fixture among fashion people, musicians, artists and anyone who's ever screenshotted a dip dyed fringe from Pinterest.
Founded in 2023 by Canadian hairstylist Jadah Dale, Studio Studios expanded into a second space next door last month. While the original studio feels like an impossibly chic living room where white brick walls meet black leather chairs, glossy basins, tiled floors and brown marble side tables, the new space takes things in a lighter direction. "Our original space has the warmth of a welcoming living room, and that same atmosphere carries through the expansion with our plush chocolate-brown chairs, our scented candles, fresh flowers and beautifully considered lighting," says the founder. Malin + Goetz candles burn away while a framed Death Becomes Her poster hangs on the wall with just the right amount of self-awareness. It's cool without trying too hard - much like the people sitting in the chairs. "For us, growth isn't about opening salons as quickly as possible. It's about growing the right way - building a community of incredible stylists and loyal clients, and continuing to be a creative home for people working in music, culture and the arts. If we keep doing that well, everything else follows," says Dale. She adds, "While the new studio feels lighter, airier and more spacious, we've been careful to preserve everything that makes Studio Studios feel like home... We wanted the new space to feel like a natural extension of the original: elevated, comfortable and unmistakably Studio Studios."
