Services
Restyle Service
Our Bespoke Restyle Service transforms outdated looks through precision cutting and colour analysis. Using a 5-step consultation process, we assess facial features, skin tone, and lifestyle to create flattering, easy-to-maintain styles. Clients receive expert product recommendations and home styling guidance to preserve their new look between visits. This service specialises in dramatic transformations while maintaining hair health.
Curly Hair Specialist
Paul Harewood's internationally recognised expertise in curly hair delivers tailored solutions for texture control. Through advanced cutting techniques, we enhance natural curl patterns or create smoother silhouettes as desired. The service includes scalp health assessments and product education to optimise curl definition and manageability at home.
Precision Cutting
Leveraging Vidal Sassoon training methodologies, our stylists execute geometrically precise cuts ensuring perfect balance and movement. This service caters to all hair types, from structured short styles to flowing long layers. Each cut incorporates structural analysis to create wearable shapes that maintain integrity through multiple growth phases.
Colour Transformations
Wella Master Colour Expert consultations deliver customised colour solutions using ammonia-free formulations. Services range from subtle gloss treatments to full transformations, with emphasis on maintaining hair health. Our colour matching process considers skin undertones and personal style preferences for optimal results.
Scalp Massages
Integrated into every wash service, our therapeutic scalp massages improve circulation and product absorption. Using techniques developed through CPD-accredited mindfulness training, this 10-minute treatment enhances relaxation while preparing hair for styling. Clients receive aftercare advice for maintaining scalp health at home.
