PHILIP KINGSLEY'S PERSONALISED HAIR CARE SOLUTIONS IN MAYFAIR
March 2025
The Philip Kingsley Trichological Clinic remains a well-kept secret for many high-profile individuals, including royalty, politicians, film stars, and supermodels looking to achieve healthy, stunning hair. Situated at 54 Green Street, it's conveniently close to the busy atmosphere of Oxford Street. Notable figures who have lived nearby include Ian Fleming, the author known for creating James Bond, as well as members of The Beatles.
The iconic red brick townhouse spans over 4000 square foot, with the clinic stretched across three illustrious floors, welcoming over 3000 clients a year who pass through its renowned doors eager to see Philip Kingsley’s team of hair and scalp experts, known as Trichologists (sometimes fondly referred to as Hair Doctors). With over 120 years of combined experience, Philip Kingsley’s Trichological team help clients with all manner of hair and scalp concerns.
The Trichologists address a range of issues, including hair loss, thinning, scalp conditions like psoriasis and dandruff, and cosmetic damage from chemical treatments. They advocate for a proactive hair care strategy, recommending regular appointments akin to dental visits to maintain hair health. The clinic showcases a blend of original and modern design elements, featuring leaded glass windows, decorative moldings, glass paneling, steel beams, and notable finds like a 180-year-old iron Aga.
Scientific Treatment
Using the very latest research in Trichology as well as cutting-edge technology, treatment at Philip Kingsley begins with a one-hour consultation. A Philip Kingsley Trichologist will undertake a holistic overview of diet and nutrition, medical and family history as well as lifestyle analysis. This is followed by a thorough examination of the client’s hair and scalp under a magnification lamp and dermatascope, which allows microscopic examination of the skin cells on the scalp, hair follicle and hair shaft.
Clients are sometimes sent for blood testing to detect any internal systematic causes that cannot be seen to the naked eye. Following the one-hour consultation, clients are led up the sweeping staircase into the spa therapy room for a bespoke treatment with a Philip Kingsley Trichotherapist, who tailors the protocol according to any issues identified in the consultation. The revamped treatment room boasts high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows which flood the space with natural light.
Eight private hair stations feature Dyson Super Sonic blow dryers, complemented by three ergonomic wash basins for client comfort. Clients can relax while their Trichotherapist applies a specific Scalp Mask and Elasticizer pre-shampoo treatment, followed by a beverage and magazine browsing under the steamer for 10-20 minutes. The treatment includes an exfoliating scalp massage, infrared light stimulation for hair follicles, professional shampooing, and conditioning. Finally, the Trichotherapist offers guidance on styling products and blow-drying techniques for optimal hair health.
Care and Confidence
Clients visit reception to collect personalised prescriptions of products made at the Philip Kingsley laboratory, accompanied by detailed aftercare instructions and their Trichologist's contact information for any follow-up support. The approach at the Philip Kingsley Trichological Clinic blends scientific principles with a focus on the human experience, recognising the link between hair health and self-confidence, a philosophy that remains central to the Clinic's practices today.
