London

Wellness + Beauty

So, I’ve been to London a decent amount. Most likely you will be taking a red eye, like me, and feel and possibly look like a haggard TOE when you land. BUT you never want to nap bc then you won’t get on the right time schedule and be screwed the rest of the trip. So, check in, shower and head to one of these places. I sometimes don’t like dealing with the worry of possibly blowing up the hotel with a converter and hot hair tools. I swear when you look better, you just automatically feel better and less tired (at least for a solid hour lol). You will feel like a million bucks I promise!

Blow LTD– Ok I SWEAR by this place!!! I’ve been using them for years. It’s a both a blow dry service and nail bar! Well it’s hair, beauty, and nails! So, they can come to your hotel and do your hair, nails, or make up OR you can go to the salon in Covent Garden and get any of these things done. I’ve had both stylists come to me in my hotel and I’ve gone to the shop I think like 4 times. Either option is great. I’ve sent so many people to them and they’ve all loved it. There’s something to be said about being pampered a bit after a veryyyy long travel journey. This is especially great if you have a special occasion! ALSO, download the app and book apts, I may have a discount code like everyone gets one when you sign up, but I believe you can get 10-15 off your first service, if you’re seriously interested please DM me and I’ll send!

Charlotte Tilbury– Ok so I’m not exactly sure how much a make-up application is (I know I’m sorry) but I got my make-up done and ended up buying most of the products, so I’d say it is worth it. I think if you are going to choose one of these things, def get your hair done but this is a really great option if you have a special occasion dinner or event while here! Even if you don’t get your makeup done, go visit the store bc it is so cute and stunning.

Renee LaPino– OK so this is another thing that is on the expensive side but just hear me out. SO, Renee is an AMAZING esthetician. I found her on Instagram and followed her for a few years before pulling the trigger. I did a Facetime consultation with her before arriving and she had so many insights and recommendations. The treatment she did on me literally changed my skin, part of me wishes I never went bc she is in London and I am in NYC and I wish I could see her more often. She offers more cost-effective options so def tell her if you are looking for the most bang for your buck. She is amazing and you will love her- PROMISE!
