DG Hair Extension Specialist, Becky wins The London Hair and Beauty Award 2016!

We are thrilled to announce that our talented Hair Extension Specialist Becky Lennon has been awarded the winner of The London Hair and Beauty Awards 2016 for Best Hair Extension Specialist. Becky was up against other leading London specialists but her natural talent, years experience and expertise secured her as the winner of this highly regarded award and we couldn’t be more proud of her hard work.

Becky has been perfecting the art of hair extension application for years and works with the most luxury hair extension brands in the industry including Gold Class, where Daniel Galvin is part of the Elite-10 group of Gold Class certified hair salons and also Great Lengths.

Hair Extensions are a hugely popular choice with clients not only to add length as they are widely known for but to add volume and to ‘enhance’ the hair, which is Becky’s area of expertise in-line with the Daniel Galvin ‘Natural Beauty Enhancement’ philosophy.

Creating the most natural end result is always Becky’s priority with every set of hair extensions she applies and her meticulous colour matching and ability to ensure the extensions are completely un-dectabe is second to none.
‘Its not so much about having the longest hair possible, its more about having thick, healthy looking hair full of life – and that’s exactly what the extensions I apply create’

If you are interested in having a hair extension consultation with Award-winning Becky please get in touch and allow her to create the hair of your dreams!

Alessandro, an internationally acclaimed Italian hairstylist has joined Daniel Galvin and will be working at our Kensington Salon. He has styled many top fashion editors and international celebrities and attained top media coverage ranking as one of the ” best cuts” for UK featured in Tatler and Net A Porter Magazine’s Global A-List.

“To me it’s not just about cutting, colouring or styling hair. It’s about giving a message, an act of love… respecting and paying attention to the person before me”.

Alessandro Calvio from Puglia, Italy, has been in the hair and beauty industry for 25 years, beginning his professional training at the age of 16.

At the age of 21, he moved to Milan and then to Berlin and Barcelona to further develop and master his hair skills. In 2005, he joined the Rossano Ferretti brand, where he worked as Artistic Director and International Educator for 11 years travelling around the world for the brand, before leaving to join the Daniel Galvin team at the Kensington salon in October 2016.

He was ranked as one of the” best cuts” for UK in the Tatler Hair Guide August 2016 and 2013, featured in Net A Porter Magazine’s Global A-List of hairdressers and recommended by Vogue UK’s diary as “one of the best cuts and blow drys in town”. Alessandro first mastered and then moulded a cutting technique that follows the natural fall of the hair. The unique style he creates, reveals the elegance of natural hair and thus unveils the true beauty of every client…. that’s why he’s so passionate about his work.

He’s also been featured in Evening Standard, Grazia, The Economist, Harper’s Bazaar, Town and Country, Telegraph, How to Spend It and various fashion and lifestyle blogs. He has styled many top beauty and fashion editors and international and local celebrities. He also travels frequently to Mumbai, India where he is much sought after by famous Bollywood stars and the elite of Indian society.

James Galvin shares two great tips on how to help protect your hair on holiday and in the sun as well as an easy styling tip so you can embrace those beach waves…

‘Avoid too much direct contact with the sun by wearing a straw hat, they help the hair to breathe and keep cool. Braids are always a great option! Braid the hair whilst its damp in the morning and wear it throughout the day to dry. In the evening take out the braid and show off all the cool movement of waves.’

‘The Vogue Braid Archive’ AKA braid bar pop up at the Vogue Festival was in association with Kérastase and our talented Daniel Galvin styling team. The fashion festival was a huge success and the braid bar was non-stop, with some people queuing for over an hour to have their hair braided by the DG team. From fishtails to halo braids inspired by some of the most iconic ages in history it was amazing to see everyone embracing the hottest summer styling trend. We loved how enthusiastic everyone was about the braid bar and it was great to see the endless braid Instagram posts and videos- head over to our Instagram page @DanielGalvinLDN to check them out!

It was an incredible experience, thank you so much for having us Vogue!
