Last night I was sitting in Andrew Barton’s fashionable Covent Garden salon while Shirley was having her hair cut and styled by Andrew himself. As he worked his magic, I realised why he is such a popular stylist, and remembered the old adage that you get what you pay for. The value is in the result.
Many of you will know Andrew from TV programmes such as Channel 4’s award-winning 10 Years Younger. Andrew has worked on the heads of many celebrities including Robbie Williams, Kylie, Elle Macpherson, Kate Moss, Penny Lancaster, Juliette Lewis, Jennifer Ellison, The Olsen Twins, Melinda Messenger and Turkish pop singer Sertab Erener. 1
Having worked for Tony & Guy, and been International Creative Director for UK’s leading hair and beauty salon group Saks, Andrew is now creative head of his own Andrew Barton Hair & Beauty Empire. His flagship Covent Garden salon opened on 12 November, and the business is encouragingly busy.
Watching Andrew at work, he is obviously passionate about what he does, and has excellent rapport skills with the customers. The staff are friendly and helpful, and kept me supplied with latte coffee while watching the master at work. The result is spectacular and Shirley is pleased with the finished style; well worth the trip to London.
If you want to book an appointment with Andrew, or one of his hand picked stylists, the Andrew Barton Salon is located at 25 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2E 8NA. You can phone for an appointment on 02071112 5998 or email appointments@andrewbarton.tv
