Before you book
Do I need a consultation before colour?
Reviewers describe a consultation on arrival before anything starts, and “consultation” comes up in 10 Google reviews. If it’s your first colour here, ring and ask whether you need a skin test beforehand and how long to allow.
My hair has box dye or several colours on it. Can you help?
Tell the salon exactly what’s on there. Reviewers who arrived with several colours, or damage from years of going blonde, say they were listened to and left with a plan. A big change can take more than one visit.
Can I ask for someone in particular?
Yes. Reviewers name Kate, Brad and Summer most often. Say who you’d like when you ring, or ask who would suit what you’re after.
Do you do extensions?
Yes. Reviewers mention extensions done with colour so they blend in. Ring to talk through what you’d like.
How much does it cost?
Prices aren’t on the website yet. Ring 07852 402432; for colour, the price usually depends on your hair’s length and what you’d like done.
When are you open?
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 10am to 6pm, Thursday 10am to 8pm and Saturday 9am to 5pm. Closed Sundays and Mondays.
Not sure where to start? Ring the salon and talk it through.
