Kate Middleton (we can't kick the K-Midi habit!) has become pretty much synonymous with a glossy blow-dry - hair that's been so lovingly kissed by a hairdryer that we can't help but stop and stare. Just think all the way back to her Chelsea girl days when the throngs were clamouring to emulate her bouncy do. She's maintained her blow-dry prowess as long as she's been in the public eye, but recently it's been a whole other level of volume and gloss.

Where Can I Get My Hair Styled The Larry King Way?

The original Larry King Salon stands proud in London's South Kensington, but a new (yes brand, spanking new!) salon opened in Notting Hill last year. Nestled just off Westbourne Grove in a beautiful mews, the salon is a haven of must-have decor and, more importantly, seriously stellar hair styling. Larry's first salon launched over two and a half years ago, and you can book into either for a dose of that A-list approved hair know-how.
