What to Expect: Your First Visit to Baykar London

Stepping into a new salon for the first time can feel a bit like a first date—exciting, but with a few "will they get me?" nerves. At Baykar London, we’ve traded the cold, intimidating atmosphere of traditional high-end salons for a space that feels like a sanctuary.

If you’ve just booked your first appointment at our West Hampstead home, here is exactly how your journey with us will unfold.

1. The Warm Welcome

Forget the stiff reception desks. When you walk in, you’ll be greeted by one of the team and invited to settle in. Whether you’re early for your appointment or just need a moment to transition from the bustle of the Jubilee Line to "salon mode," we’ll get you settled with a selection of premium teas, coffee, or chilled water.

2. The Deep-Dive Consultation

We don’t believe in "just a trim." Every first visit begins with a thorough, sit-down consultation. Your stylist—whether it’s Baykar, Connie,  Aliyanaa, or Adriana will discuss:

• Your Hair History: What has worked (and what hasn't) in the past?

• Your Lifestyle: Do you have 30 minutes to style your hair in the morning, or are you a "wash-and-go" person?

• Your Goals: Are we maintaining a signature look or embarking on a total transformation?

3. The Sensory Experience

Once we have a plan, it’s time to head to the backwash. This isn't just a hair wash; it’s a moment of relaxation. We use premium products (like L’Oréal Professionnel and luxury treatments) tailored specifically to your hair’s needs. If your hair is feeling the effects of London’s hard water, we’ll suggest the perfect remedy right then and there.

4. The Craft

This is where the magic happens. Our stylists combine years of London-honed expertise with the latest 2026 techniques. Whether it’s a precision cut, a bespoke Balayage, or a texture-defining curl treatment, we work with a focus on hair health. We want you to look incredible not just when you leave the chair, but three weeks later when you’re styling it yourself.

5. The "Aftercare" Roadmap

Before you head back out into West Hampstead, we’ll walk you through how to maintain your look. We’ll show you which products we used and give you the professional tips—the "pro secrets"—to keep that salon-fresh finish at home.

6. Joining the Community

As you check out, you’ll see why we have over 2,500 five-star reviews across various platforms. We don’t just want to be your hairdresser for the day; we want to be your expert hair partners for the year. We’ll help you schedule your next refresh so you never have to worry about a "bad hair day" again.

"My first visit to Baykar London was a truly wonderful experience. I admit I was a bit nervous since it had been some time since my last salon appointment, but Aliyana made me feel completely at ease. She was very attentive, and I couldn't be happier with the beautiful result — I feel fantastic and refreshed! I can't wait to return soon 😊"

"I’m always nervous to trust salons I’ve never been to, but I am so happy I found this salon and Adriana. The team were lovely and Adriana was so warm, friendly, fun, talented, professional and treated me with such care. I would 100% go back."
