Stil Salon at Brompton Cross


Award-winning colour specialist salon, STIL means ‘style’ in Swedish, something which it’s driving creative force, Christel Barron-Hough oozes in spades. This, combined with her artistic flair and technical know-how, makes her one of the most refreshingly modern and achingly cool colourists in the UK today.

Since arriving in London from Sweden over 20 years ago, Christel’s innate talent for creating flawless colour has seen her work as a Creative Colour Director for leading London salons, to being in demand as a global brand ambassador and educator for professional product houses, including TIGI and now WELLA Professionals.

Creative projects span shooting brand campaign imagery, research and development for new product launches and colour trend forecasting – all on a global scale – as well as creating colour on the catwalk at Fashion Week in London, Milan and New York for shows including Mark Fast, Sophia Webster and Manish Arora.

STIL was originally established in 2016 in Westbourne Grove, Notting Hill and was Christel’s first solo project and its her exacting eye for detail – from the salon’s authentically Scandi-chic, minimal aesthetic to the personalised service and luxurious hair looks served up within it – that sets the tone. And 6 months ago STIL has opened to critical acclaim its new flagship salon in Brompton Cross, in-between Bibendum and Ralph Lauren.  STIL is the ultimate destination for high calibre hair and attentive service with a tailored approach that will see you leave looking and feeling perfected and polished in a contemporary and effortlessly undone way.

Spearheaded by award-winning colourist, Christel Barron-Hough, it’s the small details that elevate STIL above the average salon experience, from the in-depth consultations, café style refreshments and healthy snacks that accompany every treatment, to the heavenly head massages with essential oils to help you truly unwind, not to mention the confidence-boosting hairstyles and hues that leave STIL’s doors.

It has seen STIL featured on many a best salon list – Tatler, Harper’s Bazaar and Grazia to name a few – and win awards such as Creative Head’s Best Salon Experience, whilst Christel herself is three times winner of British Colour Technician of the Year at the prestigious British Hairdressing Awards and has appeared in titles including Elle, Glamour, Vogue, Marie Claire and more.

Polished and personable, Christel’s breadth of technique and mastery of the full colour spectrum is awe-inspiring, From muted tonal colour palettes and pretty pastels to bold brights, she is particularly renowned for creating the most beautiful, expensive-looking blondes and effortless, envy-inducing hair for her loyal and discerning clientele that includes actors, musicians, creatives and a well-heeled crowd of fashion and beauty insiders.
