About us

A family salon with 25+ years of experience

From Budapest to Harrington Road: the story of Karda Hair & Beauty.

Our story

Csaba Karda, the hair magician

Csaba trained in Budapest and has been a hairdresser since 1999. After building his first salon in Hungary, he brought his craft to London and opened Karda in South Kensington in 2009.

Today Karda is still a family business. Csaba looks after every colour and cut himself, from the first consultation to the final blow dry. He is known for natural, healthy blonde, soft balayage and precision cuts that grow out beautifully.

Alongside hair, our laser clinic offers Soprano Ice Titanium laser hair removal, and the salon is home to Thai spa, beauty and aesthetics specialists, plus TOKI, our Korean matcha café.

What we believe

The Karda way

I

Consultation first

We listen, look at your hair and explain the plan and the price before we start.

II

Healthy hair

Professional colour, Olaplex and K18 protect your hair, especially when going lighter.

III

Boutique, personal

A calm, friendly salon where you're a name, not a number. With matcha on the side.
