73 Walton: A New Home for Beauty on Walton Street

Walton Street has long been one of the neighbourhood’s quieter pleasures, a run of boutiques and restaurants threading between Brompton Road and the Chelsea edge of Knightsbridge. Its newest arrival, 73 Walton, brings something the area has been missing: a beauty and lifestyle destination built entirely around the ritual of getting ready. Curated by Empera and set across three floors at number 73, it gathers a blow dry studio, private appointment spaces, brand activations and a ground-floor café under a single roof, positioning itself as a considered, high-touch home for beauty, wellness and culture.

At its heart is the blow dry destination, where walk-in and bookable services are delivered by Empera-curated artists, the stylists behind many of London’s most photographed looks. The experience is designed to feel indulgent rather than routine, with details such as red light therapy during the hair wash, head spa rituals and custom-designed robes turning a standing appointment into something closer to an occasion. The setting is fashion-led and unhurried, spread from the main blow dry floor to the shampoo stations and glam seats above.

For moments that ask for more, there is the 73 Suite, a private, hospitality-led space for bridal mornings, birthdays, celebrations and pre-event preparation. Here a chosen team of Empera artists works in a dedicated room with champagne, photography and full creative direction, available as a standalone booking or in partnership with brands looking to host something intimate for their own communities. The same space turns outward as an event venue, hosting activations, press events, masterclasses and influencer gatherings on a dry-hire or partnership basis, with Empera’s artist network and community reach extending each occasion well beyond the room itself.
