Looks Privé
Looks Privé is the premium range of Looks Salon and is easily one of our favourite salons in the city. They've opened their new branch at Malcha Marg, right next to Fig. They offer all the services you can think of, from nail art and waxing to hair colour and smoothening treatment. We were assisted by Shezi, who was quite patient while we decided what we wanted to get and helped us understand what would look good while explaining the whole process. We got the most beautifully done amber balayage (that has fetched us compliments everyday since) and a trim. If you're thinking of changing your hair, we highly suggest going here for a consultation!

Looks
With excellent services available across Delhi NCR, Looks is a great, no-brainer option. We have visited the one in Green Park quite often. Even though the purpose of the visit was a mere trim, but their staff was really well-versed on dealing with curly hair! He ensured that my curls fall the way I wanted - tight curls, straight or somewhere in the middle. They’ll also recommend products for their upkeep.

Run by the husband and wife duo, Elvis & Reema’s salon is a great option for anyone who wants to get edgy hair makeovers.
