Shoreditch (Tabernacle Street)

Tucked away on the second floor on Tabernacle Street, Alma + Margo Shoreditch is a light-filled studio just a short walk from Old Street station and close to the heart of Shoreditch.

(Please press the Alma + Margo at arrival!)

The space is slightly hidden from the street, offering a calm, more private setting away from the usual pace of the area. Centred around careful, detail-driven haircutting, the atmosphere is relaxed and intimate, with a focus on a slower, more attentive experience. Our stylists combine years of experience in London and Tokyo, creating cuts that feel natural and easy to live with.

The studio occasionally shifts into something else - hosting exhibitions, workshops, and music-led evenings, but always remains grounded in a sense of calm and considered design.

A quiet hideaway for those looking for something more personal.

We also have a salon in Covent Garden.

Covent Garden (Stukeley Street)

Alma + Margo Covent Garden is a calm, design-led hair studio located just off Stukeley Street, a short walk from Covent Garden Underground Station and Holborn Underground Station.

Set slightly away from the main flow of the area, the studio offers a quieter alternative to the pace outside, with a focus on thoughtful, precise haircutting and a more personal approach to hair. Our team brings a mix of experience from Tokyo and London, working across both men’s and women’s styles with an emphasis on shape, balance, and longevity.

Appointments are unhurried, allowing time for proper consultation and a considered result. The space is part of a wider practice that includes art, music, and cultural programming, giving it a slightly different rhythm from the typical salon.

A place to step out of the noise and leave feeling reset.
