Ideally located on Old Street, we are within walking distance to Barbican, Farringdon and Old Street tube stations, making us well connected to all of London and beyond.

Salon Side:
Drawing on our extensive experience in creating hair content, we have meticulously designed a salon studio equipped with all the amenities of a top hair salon. We offer six custom-built portable styling stations featuring colour-match LED lighting, ensuring your work is captured perfectly. You will have access to professional salon essentials such as gowns, aprons, foils, bowls, mixers, brushes, and towels. Our backwash station is designed for filming from any angle, complemented by a YUV machine for precise colour work. Capture your own content with available tripods and grips, and take advantage of our shoot shower for wet look effects. Flexibility is key, so you can use as many or as few stations as needed.
