Maria Hatzistefanis’s role at the helm of Rodial and Nip + Nab has whisked her all over the globe – a job requirement that increased two-fold this past year with a book tour tacked onto her schedule, following the publication of How To Be An Overnight Success. She may be a seasoned traveller but the Londoner is happiest at home. She shares her favourite beauty stops in London.

Spa: The Cowshed Spa on Clarendon Road in Notting Hill. It’s very zen and they do great massages. Every few weeks I book a deep tissue massage. It helps when I get sore muscles from working out.

Nail salon: I have someone come at home over the weekend; it’s the ultimate luxury.

Department store: I love Harvey Nichols and always visit our Rodial Sculpting Bar to get my makeup done. And I love their eyebrow and hair services too.

Hair salon: Josh Wood Atelier in Holland Park.

Best blowout: Harvey Nichols Hershesons Blow Dry Bar on the ground floor.

Fragrance: I buy my fragrances from SpaceNK. I look forward to trying the new F@@@ing Fabulous fragrance from Tom Ford.

Best neighbourhoods to shop for beauty: Knightsbridge for Space NK and Harvey Nichols, and Oxford Street for Selfridges.

Weekend getaway: I love Soho Farmhouse (in the Cotswolds), which is close to my weekend place. I love the spa, the gym and their Pen Yen Asian restaurant.
