As a new mum, finding time for self-care can be a challenge, but it’s essential for recharging and feeling like yourself again. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit GA Salon in South Kensington, renowned for its commitment to natural and organic hair care, and the experience was nothing short of transformative.

Located in the heart of South Kensington, GA Salon is an oasis of calm and luxury. The salon’s philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that hair care should be about enhancing the natural beauty of your hair using curative, natural products. Unlike traditional salons that rely heavily on harsh chemicals, GA Salon focuses on nurturing hair with natural and organic blends, allowing it to become stronger and healthier over time.

Upon arrival, I was immediately struck by the serene ambiance of the salon. The staff greeted me warmly, and after a brief consultation where we discussed my hair type and the kind of results I was hoping to achieve, the stylist recommended one of their signature blends for my colouring session. GA Salon boasts 20 signature blends, each crafted using 100% natural and organic herbs, roots, and flowers. This bespoke approach means that each colour mix is tailored specifically to the individual, ensuring the most flattering and natural-looking results.

The process began with a thorough wash using GA’s own line of organic shampoos and conditioners, designed to cleanse without stripping the hair of its natural oils. My talented stylist Micheal explained that this step was crucial to preparing my hair for the colour application, ensuring an even and vibrant result.

Once my hair was clean and prepped, the natural dye was meticulously applied. Unlike chemical dyes that can often leave a pungent smell and an uncomfortable tingling sensation, this natural blend felt soothing on my scalp. The colour was then left to develop under a warming lamp, a process that took about three hours. It was longer than chemical dye applications but for me it was definitely worth it not to have harmful chemicals enter my bloodstream. The warm heat helped the colour to penetrate deeply, enhancing its vibrancy and longevity.

Those four hours of quiet relaxation at GA Salon were exactly what I needed. I sipped on herbal tea and my favourite glass bottled water (Aqua Pana), flipped through magazines, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I simply relaxed. The salon’s atmosphere, combined with the knowledge that I was treating my hair with something genuinely beneficial, made the experience even more rejuvenating.

When the time finally came to rinse out the dye, I was eager to see the results. My hair was rinsed with warm water, and a final touch of organic conditioner was applied to seal in the colour and add shine. After a glamorous blow dry by Micheal and his equally talented colleague, I looked in the mirror and was stunned by the transformation. My hair was a beautiful, warm shade of brown that looked incredibly natural yet vibrant. The colour had a glossy finish that caught the light beautifully, giving my hair a healthy, luxurious look.

But beyond the aesthetic results, what truly impressed me was how my hair felt. It was soft, bouncy, and full of life—qualities that had been lacking after months of postpartum hair changes. The best part? Knowing that the colour was achieved without a single synthetic chemical gave me peace of mind, especially as someone who is more conscious of the products I use when breastfeeding.

Leaving the salon, I felt like a new woman—glamorous, pampered, and rejuvenated. The experience at GA Salon reminded me of the importance of taking time for myself, not just as a mother but as an individual. The combination of expert care, natural products, and a luxurious setting made it a truly special experience.

For anyone looking to refresh their look with a focus on health and natural beauty, I can’t recommend GA Salon highly enough. Their dedication to organic hair care, personalized service, and the beautiful results they deliver make it a standout choice in South Kensington. Whether you’re a new mama like me or simply someone who values natural, luxurious hair care, GA Salon is the perfect place to indulge and transform your hair.
