Akif Aytekin is the Creative Director of TOQQA Hair Salon on King's Road, Chelsea, with more than 25 years of professional experience in hair styling and colour. Over his career he has built a loyal following of clients across Chelsea, Belgravia and Knightsbridge who return to him for his precision, discretion and consistently beautiful results. Akif specialises in colour artistry — from hand-painted balayage and natural-looking highlights to complex colour correction — alongside precision cutting, hair extensions and restorative treatments. Every appointment begins with a thorough, honest consultation: he takes the time to understand your hair, your lifestyle and your goals before recommending a bespoke approach, and he is known for advising clients candidly on what will genuinely suit them. Akif continually refines his craft to stay current with the latest professional techniques and products, ensuring the salon delivers results that are both contemporary and timeless.
