Spring Reset: The Beauty Treatments to Have on Your Radar

The 'Expensive Brunette' Trend: Truffle Brown at STIL Salon

Londoners will know there’s nowhere quite like STIL Salon in South Kensington for expert hair colouring. This month, STIL celebrates its 10th anniversary - a milestone that reflects a decade of expert hair design tailored to every client who walks through the door.

One of the things we love most is the salon’s ‘live’ mixing bar, which takes centre stage. You can watch the colour artists at work, perfecting your bespoke shade right in front of you. 

Award-winning colourist and STIL founder Christel Barron-Hough shares one of her favourite spring/summer 2026 colour trends, fresh from the capital of cool Copenhagen Fashion Week, where street style continues to influence global hair trends.

Truffle Brown, a rich, velvety brunette palette that looks glossy, healthy and luxurious.

“A favourite amongst many of the Copenhagen cool girls, Lush Truffle Brown is very glowy and expensive-looking,” she says. “It’s a great choice for multi-textured hair as it adds depth, tone and lots of hydration - it’s a very modern, polished look.” Christel reveals.

If you’re considering a spring refresh, this sophisticated brunette might just be the season’s most wearable hue.

The Chic New Nail Trend: Polka Dot Manicures

With over 164 million and counting nail art hashtags on Instagram, the nail art scene is here to stay for the foreseeable. You may have already spotted everything from marble effects and dainty stars to animal-print designs taking over your Instagram feed.

The nail art of choice this season? Enter the itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny polka dot nail - subtle nail art that feels polished and modern.

Suzanne Cummins, founder of 14 Day Mani, explains: “We’re loving how polka dots are having their moment while still feeling relevant. They’re incredibly simple, yet they completely transform a look - an easy way to elevate even the most minimal manicure.”

The 14 Day Mani, available at Neville Hair & Beauty, predicts a rise in this trend thanks to its speedy application, a refreshing alternative to spending hours in the chair for highly intricate nail art.

Botox the Dr. David Jack Way

When we’re not stocking up on Dr. David Jack’s award-winning skincare line, we’re complementing our routine with a visit to his clinic, where Dr. David Jack and his team are known for delivering some of the most natural-looking injectables in London.

The overdone, ‘frozen face’ look from too much Botox is not something that happens inside Dr. David Jack’s immaculately designed clinics. (If you’re a fan of interiors, you’ll appreciate his fantastic taste in design.) Instead, wrinkle-relaxing injections are delivered subtly and precisely. A ‘less is more’ philosophy defines the Dr. David Jack way.

Dr. David Jack explains the trend he’s seeing in clinic: “In spring, patients usually want to look brighter and better rested, rather than ‘done’. I’m seeing a clear move towards subtle, movement-preserving results, particularly in the upper face.

"My approach with Botox generally uses smaller doses placed very precisely to soften expression lines while keeping the forehead and eyes natural and expressive - so the face still moves in daylight and in photos, while static lines appear softer.”

We’ll follow the doctor’s orders…

From £350 (varies with areas and practitioner)
