# Smith & Gardner
Smith & Gardner is an established Chelsea hair and beauty salon celebrating 42 years as a local institution. Located on Milner Street between Sloane Square and South Kensington underground stations, the salon combines contemporary hairdressing with bespoke styling and colouring techniques under the stewardship of second-generation owner Matthew Gardner.
The salon serves Chelsea's discerning clientele seeking high-calibre hair and beauty services. Their team comprises fully trained, highly qualified stylists including Maria and Matthew, alongside junior stylists. The business distinguishes itself through an unwavering commitment to quality, exclusively using natural and vegan products that align with modern ethical standards.
What sets Smith & Gardner apart is their philosophy of blending traditional salon expertise with innovative contemporary approaches. Rather than following trends blindly, they prioritise understanding individual client needs and creating personalised solutions, whether for straightforward cuts and blow-dries or complex colouring and specialist treatments like keratin smoothing or OLAPLEX conditioning.
The salon extends beyond hairdressing, with two on-premises beauty rooms offering services from independent practitioners. This integrated approach—combining expert hair care with complementary beauty treatments—creates a comprehensive wellness destination. Their willingness to discuss client requirements and customise treatments reflects a philosophy rooted in genuine service rather than transactional engagement. The £650 contract option with 15% discount demonstrates commitment to loyal clients.
