Since its launch in 2003, Nyumba by Michael Charalambous has established itself as one of London's leading lights for beautiful, bespoke hairdressing and beauty. Its enviable client list ranging from rockstars to royalty, fashion insiders, TV celebrities and loyal regulars all want one thing - the very best salon experience.
This has probably got something to do with why it's also the UK's most exclusive salon. Since its launch in London's Mayfair (it originally opened in Mount Street) before moving to Sloane Square where it currently resides, Nyumba has always been home to a dream team of talent; many of whom are session stylists in the fashion and media industry.

Michael has been cutting my hair for years and I cannot live without him now, Giulia is the best colourist in London and together they create the perfect teams they even did my hair for my wedding many years ago!
Having a great hair cut and colour gives me the confidence I need when meeting clients in my Interior Decorating business and most recently for my appearance on Ladies of London (most of the comments on my Instagram posts are about my hair and that's all thanks to Michael and Giulia!).Having two children and an extremely busy lifestyle can be very hectic and going to Nyumba is the perfect escape, I always leave feeling completely pampered.

The best hair experience in Chelsea. Michael's team are at the top of their skillset and being in the salon raises your vibration - happy atmosphere, lovely plants and decor and there is fun and laughter. Pets are welcome, love seeing how they too enjoy the hair styling experience - even though it is for their owner and not them!
It is a truly special salon, I drive 250+ miles to be there. Mary is the best cutter for me and Nicola colours superbly. Thank you.

Top Colourist, Giulia Zuccaroli, is brilliant. There isn't a colouring problem she cannot fix. Worth every penny!
Michael is, an artiste. He cuts my hair in such a way that it always looks fabulous and I can handle it until I go back to experience the 'whole package' again. A superb cut and colour from experts, the friendliness and wonderful ambience in the salon. An oasis of calm in my busy life.
Cannot wait to get back!

Gorgeous salon and fantastic service.
The salon was spotless and I felt very safe and taken care of. The staff took great care with social distancing, masks, visors, sanitiser.
Didn't feel rushed like a lot of other central salons. Super friendly and professional staff, great music and relaxed atmosphere.
Max was brilliant and listened to everything that I wanted, he understood my hair and did a fantastic job. Would highly recommend this salon!

I love this place not only I always get the best hair cut ever with Michael and the best colour ever with Giulia. But the atmosphere is just heavenly. I can't wait for the salon to reopen and see the new set up. Knowing Michael and Giulia, I am sure it will look fantastic! I am looking forward also to try the Lasio Anti Frizz treatment ...my hair surely need it. Can't wait for to see the new Nyumba!

Nyumba were able to find me a last minute appointment for an eyebrow threading last Saturday. The staff were incredibly friendly and the interior design of the salon was really cool- the owners obviously put a lot of thought and effort it. Mary did my eyebrows and it was probably the best eyebrow threading I have ever had- she obviously knows what she is doing. I would highly recommend.

I loved my experience at Nyumba and I can say that the staff really understand a customer. Nico studied my face to maximise the contours and angles. I've never had such a meticulous cut. I also love the warm and welcoming atmosphere at the salon, I really didnât want to leave and I canât wait to come back!

I am absolutely speechless at quite how fantastic this salon is. Starting from the welcoming environment from the front door to the service throughout!
The atmosphere in the salon is absolutely second to none! Itâs evident the love and care thatâs gone into it throughout.
The staff are not only helpful but some of the best professionals I think Iâve personally witnessed. They make you feel so welcome and comfortable. A real treat which sometimes can feel as a bit of a chore. The owner is a real treat to speak to and even more or an asset to his business. Thank you for your kind words!
