Ooooh isn't it cold...?


As the clocks go back this weekend, it starts becoming colder and we all get our winter clothes at the ready, it's time to start thinking about how you will protect your hair during these chilly months.

We ask Asgar Saboo, Style Director at Daniel Galvin, his opinion on the matter:

"The harsh winter weather can be very damaging to our hair. It can easily become dry and brittle during and effective, preventative steps need to be taken to ensure that your hair does not get damaged.


Asgar Saboo, Style Director
"Every woman wants healthy, glossy, bouncy hair during this time of the year but few people spend much time thinking about how to get it & maintain it. For the most part, just a regular shampoo & condition isn’t enough to keep your hair looking shiny - you often need that little bit more…

1. A balanced lifestyle and diet is a good contributor to both healthy looking hair and skin.

2. I’m a great believer in hair oils and would recommend Moroccan Oil which we use in the salon. I would also recommend olive oil as a good natural home alternative.

3. Limit your use of hair irons or hair dryers. If you do need to use them, I would recommend a leave-in conditioner prior to use, to lock in the moisture.

4. Use hair masques! They are an excellent way of bringing a shine to the surface and to prevent frizzing when it’s cold and raining outside.

5. Avoid styling products which contain alcohol which dries out the hair."

Canadian band New Look visit DG at the Corinthia


New cutting edge Canadian musicians, New Look were the latest celebrities to visit the Daniel Galvin salon for styling before an exclusive performance at the Calvin Klein Collection dinner in London last week. Stylist Jay Goodwin worked on both Sarah and Adam’s hair before the duo performed at the intimate gig. 

For Sarah, Jay created soft, tousled waves, “I prepped Sarah’s hair with styling cream and dried it into her hair, I then used tongs to create a soft, natural curl and blow dried her fringe to create volume through the top.”

For Adam, Jay trimmed his hair before “messing it up with some product to make it look less uniform.”  The breakthrough new musicians visited the new Daniel Galvin salon at the Corinthia hotel.

The Story of The Little Princesses and Their Magically Growing Hair

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful long-haired beauty named Rapunzel who Disney granted the chance to be a Princess and take her rightful place on a throne in the Magical Kingdom.

Children came from far and wide to witness this happy occasion to the beautiful Palace of Kensington in the wonderful land of London. All 150 young princesses shared one wish: to have hair as long and as flowing as Princess Rapunzel herself. This wish was cheerily granted by 10 magical hairdressers, friends of the High Wizard Daniel Galvin, who whistled merrily as they performed these transformations.





And WHAT a jolly time was had by all! Thanks to Bobby, Ellie, Emma, Hayleigh, Manuel, Olivia, Shadie, Shannon, Sophia and Steph for all of their hard work.
