Next time you and your girliest girlfriends are looking for a treat-ette, we have a suggestion. The Powder Room. Actually, there are two: in Marshall Street (Soho), and Columbia Road (Shoreditch). With their chequered floors, pink-uniformed make-up experts, 50s chairs/mirrors and reclaimed shop fittings, The Powder Rooms are pure boudoir chic.
They offer speedy hairdos, application of luscious false lashes, an 'In a Jiffy Make-up' option - and for those evenings when you can't get home before a London night out, you can be expertly refreshed, beautified and primped for the evening ahead, for just £30. You might even want to get in the mood with a Powderpuff Bellini, served in a vintage cup, for a fiver. (Soho only.) Or if you've 90 minutes to spare, why not book in for a Make-up or Hair Tricks of the Trade session...?
Oh, and did we say they're a treasure trove of girly beauty finds, with make-up by Paul & Joe and Dianne Brill, among others, to shop for...?
