Following government guidelines on the Coronavirus COVID 19 next steps, and for the continued safety of our clients, team and partners, we took the decision to close both our salons temporarily.
Whilst still physically not operational we are available online to ensure that we continue to provide you with information regarding your hair and skin concerns. Due to the high volume of requests from clients we have decided to add a FAQ list for you to try and answer some of the key questions that have been sent to us in the last few days. We recognise that again factors may change over the coming weeks due to further government updates but we will continue to provide you the latest news relating to Paul Edmonds London through email, social channels and our website.
When are you opening?
We are now taking appointments on a first come first served basis, please email getmein@pauledmonds.com, and we will get back to you.
Are you able to do home visits?
WHEN THE SALONS OPEN WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
Our aim is to continue to provide the very best technical expertise, in a luxurious environment whilst ensuring that you continue to enjoy the experience that we are known for.

Telephone appointments will not be able to be made during the initial start up period of 2 weeks.
• Due to the high level of demand for appointments we will be dealing with appointment requests on a first come first served basis.
• Due to social distancing rules, we have reflected the safety requirements by reducing capacity in our salons by 50% through the removal of salon chairs. Our teams will be working reduced but longer days and in bubbles to ensure that tracking and isolation protocols can be actioned immediately (should this be required by the government teams) therefore we may not be able to book your preferred colourist and stylist on the same day or same location.
•For existing colour clients, you will be allocated a provisional appointment which will require a virtual consultation to determine the exact service and time required on the day of your appointment. This is to mitigate the changes on the day which may cause bottle necks or risks to services overrunning and impacting other appointments.
