Professional haircuts
Our expert stylists provide precision haircuts tailored to individual face shapes and lifestyles. Using advanced cutting techniques developed through decades of experience, we create modern and classic styles that enhance natural features. Clients receive personalised consultations to ensure optimal results that reflect their personal style.
Hair colouring
From subtle highlights to dramatic transformations, our colour specialists utilise premium Wella and L'Oral products. We offer bespoke colour consultations, including skin tone analysis, to achieve flattering results. Services range from root touch-ups to complex balayage techniques performed by certified colour technicians.
Barbering
Traditional barbering services include skin fades, classic scissor cuts, and straight razor shaves. Our master barbers combine modern techniques with heritage methods like hot towel treatments and ear/nose waxing. Each session provides a relaxing, old-school salon experience with contemporary precision.
Advanced treatments
We offer intensive hair care solutions using professional-grade products to repair damaged hair. Treatments include keratin smoothing, deep conditioning, and scalp analysis to improve hair health. Our stylists recommend customised maintenance routines following each session.
Flame throwing
This traditional technique uses controlled flames to seal hair cuticles and enhance styling precision. Performed by experienced barbers, it creates sharp lines and polished finishes for classic hairstyles. Safety protocols ensure a secure environment during this unique service.

If you live in Chiswick and have not taken your hair to Cavalleros then you are really missing out. The service and attention to detail are unsurpassed. Gaby is a superstar. He has once again given me a brilliant, bespoke pixie cut, flattering at all angles and just perfect. The whole team are superbly talented and they take their time with each client to give them the very best service. Go to Cavalleros and you can be one of the beautiful people too.

Just returned from my second visit to Cavalleros. Another wonderful experience. Gabys attention to detail and care in making one feel completely at ease is something I value greatly. Proper old school customer service and care. Do yourself a favour and get an appointment! Youll come out looking..and feeling like brand new!

I had my first tattoo accomplished by Carina one week ago. She is the best, paying attention to the details and careful with hygiene. She helped me with the final design and highly desired tattoo and improved it with very delicate and nice details. We communicated before the final appointment and agreed with all the details. She is very creative and friendly person. I highly recommend her and I can't wait for the second one.
P.S. The photo attached below is after one week of healing.

I had a my first ever tat done by Carina. She was very professional, adhered to strict hygiene and codes of conduct. She was very thorough and got the gist of what I wanted very quickly. She is a friendly smart amicable lady. I would highly recommend her and give her 10 out of 10 for her professionalism and service.

Got my hair cut. The guy took a lot of trouble to get a good result. Then he told me I should get my first tattoo, so I did. The artist was v.professional and also took a lot of trouble to get a good result. Smooth execution. Hygiene seemed good. Healing well.
