I visited in autumn 2016. Nestled on the lower ground floor of Harvey Nics, Aono is a welcome addition to a very swanky space.
The highlight of the setup is that you can enjoy a fantastic (but pricey) drink from the Wallpaper* bar next door. I had an expertly made Negroni -- made from a fairly standard mix of Bombay Sapphire, Campari, and Martini Rosso (no regal rogue here) with rosemary droplets and garnish.
The haircuts are similar to Aono's flagship stores in Brighton. These barbers are meticulous, amiable, and come from all walks of life. Their attention to detail is simply superb. Whether you're looking for a familiar cut or want to try something new but aren't sure of what direction to go in, you will be very well taken care of here.
Prices will of course reflect the location, which is to say this is more expensive than Brighton (and yet still quite reasonable given the price of anything in Knightsbridge) but a cut at Aono's first London location would readily compliment a day of shopping. Plus, having a drink all the while is pure luxury. read more
