Blue Tit Launches in Crystal Palace

Published 20th May 2024 by Chlo Weldon

Joining the famous Crystal Palace high street, Blue Tit ventures into their fifth South London spot and are launching their third salon in under a year. Celebrating equality, inclusivity, and individuality in all neighbourhood salons, Blue Tit Crystal Palace welcomed new and existing clientele to the salon from 10 May. This will be its 13th salon to the collective.

After successfully launching Blue Tit Greenwich and Woolwich, co-founders John and Lee Beever, are striving to introduce Blue Tit to a new location, adding to the prosperous area of independent businesses with the likes of Hopscoth, Haynes Lane Vintage, and The Vaults Collective.

Blue Tit Crystal Palace will be joining the stylish Westow Hill Street, boasting two floors with huge windows, welcoming lots of sunlight. Utilising local flea-markets, in true eco-friendly Blue Tit spirit, the salon interior is 1940s inspired, following a speakeasy feel. The interior will exude elegance with deep greens, plums, and touches of gold matched and vintage furniture.

Lee Beever comments: “We fell in love with Crystal Palace after attending a local event a few years ago. Since then, we had the desire to bring Blue Tit to the thriving area, joining the hustle of local eateries and bars. Keeping a close eye on the market, a gem appeared of a former salon in the heart of Crystal Palace.”

Blue Tit founders, Matthew Gebbie and Andi Hinteregger, encourage staff to flourish beyond the typical salon expectations including the creation of innovative hair shoots, festivals, charity work and Academy training. 

Blue Tit gives staff the freedom to explore opportunities and choose their own path in the industry.

Matthew Gebbie, Co-Founder at Blue Tit comments: “We’re proud to give Blue Tit team members the opportunity to execute their creative visions and to use Blue Tit as a platform to explore their potential. We’re excited to open the doors to another new London neighbourhood and grow the Blue Tit community.”
