Services

Brazilian Blow-dry

A transformative keratin treatment that eliminates frizz, enhances shine, and reduces drying time by up to 50%. Ideal for all hair types, it lasts up to 12 weeks with sulphate-free aftercare. The process includes a patch test and takes 1.52 hours, leaving hair silky and manageable.

Balayage

Customised, natural-looking highlights applied using a freehand technique for a sun-kissed effect. Requires minimal maintenance with regrowth blending seamlessly every 1012 weeks. Perfect for clients seeking low-fuss, dimensional colour with a soft, natural transition.

Olaplex Treatment

A revolutionary system that repairs broken hair bonds during chemical processes, strengthening and protecting hair. Compatible with all types, it prevents breakage and enhances resilience, particularly for bleached or damaged hair. Used during colouring or as a standalone treatment.

Root Touch Up

A low-maintenance solution for maintaining blonde tones while allowing over-lightened hair to recover. Blends naturally with existing colour, avoiding harsh regrowth lines. Achieved through foils or freehand techniques, tailored to individual hair structure.

Hair Treatments

Deep conditioning treatments that restore moisture, reduce split ends, and improve hair health. Formulated to strengthen brittle strands and enhance texture through penetrating hydration. Recommended for post-chemical care or as a standalone revitalising service.

Thoroughly recommend Zoe and The Hair Shack.
Incredibly knowledgable and really took the time and care to understand what I wanted and produce the perfect results. I was openly very nervous about having my curls highlighted for the first time but Zoe has worked her absolute magic and the result is perfect and feels so much healthier than before. 10/10 - thank you Zoe!

So today I had my hair cut by Zoe, who is the only person I let cut my hair. Me being typically me, had not had it cut for over 2 years. Zoe to the rescue. Not only has she cut it beautifully, but she has… somehow managed to knock quite a few years off of me. A beautiful cut, style and blow dry. I can not speak highly enough of The Hair Shack and would totally recommend her. After care and advice always a plenty. I'll be back end of September for colour. Thankyou so very much

Zoe is an amazing hairdresser, especially with the pandemic still going on, wearing PPE throughout, making sure things are cleaned regularly. Made my hair so much healthier, highly recommend!!!

I have been going to Zoe for about 8 months and she has completely transformed my hair! It is healthier, the colour is amazing and it is finally growing. Zoe is the ultimate professional and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! I’m so glad I found such an amazing hairdresser 💇🏼‍♀️
