Inside the Height of Luxury: Jo Hansford’s Six-Star Salon Experience
Over 32 years ago, Jo Hansford opened her first salon with one goal in mind: to make every client feel amazing. Exceptional colour expertise, personalised care and a warm welcome have always been at the heart of who we are.
And now, we are evolving into our next exciting chapter.
In December 2025, our full team will come together in one flagship location, our Mayfair sanctuary that provides luxurious comfort, innovative styling spaces and a relaxed, uplifting atmosphere the moment you step through the door.
As always our clients will have access to the very best in colour, cutting and blow-dries plus an expanded menu of beauty and specialist treatments all tailored to your needs by the experts who know you best.
Whether you are refreshing your signature look or discovering something new, every appointment is a bespoke experience created just for you.

Jo Hansford comments:
“I feel incredibly proud of what I have achieved and I still get the same thrill at seeing someone leave the salon happy, full of confidence, with their hair looking amazing, just like I did when I first started. It is so rewarding seeing clients being transformed and it is the reason why I always want to come back for more!”
