Duck & Dry

Everyone knows the best part of a night out happens long before you step a single stiletto out the door. It's during the time-honoured ritual of getting ready, sipping prosecco and laughing with your best friends while doing your hair and makeup. 

But when it comes to your hen party, your usual boudoir just won't do. The exclusive hire private events lounge at Duck & Dry on Chelsea's King's Road makes the perfect hen pre-party pad.

Tucked under the main salon, the décor is Instagram-ready with chic pastel sofas, royal blue walls and styling stations to help your hens look their very best. 

What's more, the space is fully licensed and has its own cocktail bar, allowing you to pair bubbles alongside beauty as an alternative to drinks or afternoon tea that everyone will love.

Catering can also be arranged on request (canapes and cupcakes anyone?) so it's easier than ever to create the exclusive party atmosphere you deserve for your pre-wedding event.

Whether you're after a bouncy blow dry or an elegant updo, stylists are on hand to tease and tame your locks into party-ready styles before you head out for a night on the tiles. Makeup artists and manicurists are also available on request to help transform your event into a full-on beauty bash. 

There's nothing like a fresh blow dry to ramp up the glamour stakes. And with special party packages, an in-house party planner and hire available throughout the week from 7:30am to 7:30pm, it's never been easier to get the pre-party started at Duck & Dry!

Duck & Dry's events lounge can be hired on an hourly basis from £45 per person and exclusive blow dry and prosecco packages are from £55 per guest.
