about TAUPE SALON
Welcome to TAUPE
We’ll keep it short and simple because we believe in quality over quantity.
TAUPE is a modern boutique hair salon based in Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria. Our philosophy is derived from providing excellent customer service, and going over and beyond for each of our clients. As much as we want you to look good, we know service goes hand in hand with delivering impeccable results.
We won’t waste your time, so don’t worry about us keeping you in the salon all day as it’s just NOT what we do. Our founder, Fola, has close to a decade of experience in the hair industry and in 2014, she received both an NVQ Level 3 and Diploma from the renowned Sassoon Academy in Bond Street. Fola then went on to work in high-end salons in various prime locations such as Knightsbridge, where she developed her practical skills and business acumen.
We specialise in ALL hair types – that includes European and Afro hair, and believe in maintaining the integrity of your hair as well as keeping it healthy. Lastly, we offer consultations if you ever need advice on your hair.
P.S. – we have a list of recommended beauty technicians for other beauty services such as nails, body treatments etc. as we do not offer these services in-house.
From our Founder
“Coming from a diverse city such as London, where I was exposed to a variety of cultures, experiences and services, I wanted to combine these with my experiences here in Lagos. Lagos is the most diverse city in Nigeria, which matches our business ethos, making it the perfect location for our first salon. I decided to create the TAUPE brand because I want to be part of the change needed to improve the standard of the hairdressing industry in Africa as a whole. My aim is for TAUPE to be part of our clients’ lifestyle rather than just a place to get their hair done. I hope to see you soon 🙂”

My experience was a 10/10. I had trouble finding someone that could achieve the look I was going for as my hair was colored previously and I wanted kinky textured bundles. Not only did they have the texture I was looking for, they were even able to match the bundles to my hair color. It came out beautifully. It looks very natural and everyone compliments me thinking it’s mine. I will definitely book again when I am back in Nigeria. Thanks again Pelumi!

Had an amazing session with Mercy at Taupe Salon. She was so pleasant and professional. Though it was my first time I felt as if I had been coming there for years. They were professional, the attention to detail was on point, and what was even better is how they treated my head, my hair, my scalp. I hope that they continue to give people this type of treatment. Thank you.

The greatest haircut I’ve had in my life before!
I was scared as it was my first time in Nigeria and was not sure they would be able to handle my european hair but definitely proved me wrong!
Everything went very smoothly. They have a new regular client!

I’m just 4 months in Lagos and was on a hunt for a salon which would fulfill my special requirement of hair extensions , a place which was well kept, a place with great service . Being in a new country and finding some place which suffices all the above is not easy to find. However I was lucky to find Taupe salon on Google. I went there for the first time and everything was good and my major concern was the service. Today I can say it with full confidence that with Fola being there , my experience with my hair has been par excellence. I’m so happy, feel confident and satisfied with the service I’ve received. I usually do not write such long reviews but Taupe and Fola deserve every bit of it . All the best to you Taupe!!!!

First time visiting Taupe and I loved it. Got a haircut and a silk press. Everyone was welcoming and I was really happy with the result. My hair feels healthier. It started raining when I was leaving so the receptionist offered to walk me to the car with an umbrella, which was really thoughtful.

Fola, the head stylist is super nice, super talented and super professional. She literally revitalised my hair (I have fine textured hair) using the right products, setting each task to the right time for treatment so my hair wasn't overprocessed and I must say, my hair has been at its best since I started going to TAUPE. She also has the nicest attendants!

Such an amazing experience at Taupe salon. Service was high class. Had a silk press done with a treatment and trim. My hair looks so good, it hasn’t looked this good in ages. Would recommend to everyone to get their hair done here, you won’t regret it.😊
