A Royal year ahead at Jo Hansford

We are so delighted to announce that Jo Hansford MBE has been granted a prestigious Royal Warrant of Appointment in recognition of services supplied to the Royal Household.

The Royal Warrant is one of only seven made by Her Majesty The Queen in December 2024 and is the first to be awarded to Jo Hansford MBE and her world-renowned hair salons.

 

Described as the ‘first lady of colour’ and ‘best tinter on the planet’, Jo Hansford MBE has risen to the top of her profession and runs the largest female-owned independent salon group in London.

HM The Queen has been one of Jo’s loyal clients for more than 30 years, ever since she opened her Mayfair salon. As Jo says: “It’s a real honour to be granted a Royal Warrant from The Queen, who I have been proud to have as a client for more than three decades.

“I think it is particularly wonderful that The Queen has awarded it to an all-female owned and run company. It really shows that with hard work, devotion and passion for your business, you can achieve truly incredible things.”

Joanna Hansford, Jo’s daughter who is Managing Director of both Jo Hansford Mayfair and Jo Hansford Harvey Nichols salons, added: “To receive a royal warrant is the ultimate endorsement of our commitment to service, quality, and to our clients. We are an independently run, family business, and this means the world to us and our staff.

We want to thank all our clients both old and new for their continued support throughout this wonderful journey.
