Blue Tit London has freshly opened a new salon in Blackhorse Road.

Long on the brand’s radar since its early Clapton and Dalston days, the eco-minded salon says the Walthamstow opening feels like a “natural next step”, adding they were drawn to the area’s “creative energy, independent spirit and ever-evolving cultural scene”.

Blue Tit London says the new space is “expressive and welcoming”, like the wider community around it.

Monolithic blue bespoke salon tables sit at the heart of the design, with pigmented blues and lilac tones layered against exposed concrete, softened by felted terracotta panels and speckled cappuccino furnishings. Statement features run throughout, from sculptural tables visible from the street to industrial stainless steel mirrors that bring a modernist rhythm.

Overhead, floating purple acoustic baffles add softness, while hanging terracotta panels subtly define zones without closing the space. Clients move through a relaxed 90s-inspired lounge to a more intimate backwash area – all connected by a flowing layout and wraparound windows that draw in light.

Led by Nina Leuthold, formerly of Blue Tit Crouch Hill, the Walthamstow salon reflects the collective’s commitment to nurturing talent from within.

Joining the team is Dec Haworth, Blue Tit’s colour director, who brings years of experience within the brand and a strong creative eye – adding his “expertise and fashion-forward” approach to the new East London space from day one.
