Hair Colouring
Our expert colourists provide precision hair colouring using premium Wella products. From subtle highlights to complete transformations, we create bespoke shades that complement your natural features. With over two decades of experience and industry-recognised training, our team ensures flawless application and tone balance. Clients benefit from tailored consultations to determine the most flattering shades for their skin tone and lifestyle.
Highlights
We offer multiple highlighting techniques including full head, large crown, and small crown applications. Our stylists use advanced balayage and foiling methods to create natural-looking dimension. Prices vary based on coverage level, with options starting from 55. Each session includes a toner application to achieve perfect cool tones. Clients receive aftercare advice to maintain their new look between appointments.
KeraStraight
This innovative treatment permanently straightens hair while maintaining its health. Ideal for those with curly or wavy hair seeking long-lasting smoothness. The process takes approximately 3 hours and lasts up to 5 months. Our certified technicians apply keratin proteins that bond to hair strands, reducing frizz and enhancing shine. Clients can wash their hair immediately after treatment with no downtime required.
Indian Head Massage
Our qualified therapists provide traditional Indian head massages to relieve tension and promote relaxation. This 30-minute treatment focuses on pressure points in the head, neck, and shoulders. It improves circulation, reduces stress, and enhances hair growth. Clients often combine this service with other treatments for a complete wellness experience. The technique uses warm herbal oils suited to individual hair types.
Hair Cutting
We offer expert hair cutting services tailored to individual face shapes and lifestyles. Our stylists use both classic and contemporary techniques to create modern, wearable styles. Each session includes a consultation to discuss current trends and maintenance requirements. Prices vary based on stylist experience level, with options available for both men and women. Clients receive styling advice to recreate their look at home.

I had the pleasure of having Marie to colour my hair and Tony to cut it.I went in wanting someone to tell me professionally, what to do, as I had no idea. And boy did they deliver! The colours by Marie were… beautiful and Tony really took the time to understand my hair and advise me how to manage it on my own. I really felt looked after and now, I never want to go anywhere else. Thank you ‘The Salon’ friendly, professional and excellent!

My first visit since lockdown. Everything done here to ensure guidelines have been followed as expected from a very well run salon. Extremely happy with my hair after 17weeks growth. Tony certainly came up trumps. Have already booked my next 2 appointments.

I’ve had my hair done at the salon on a few occasions as my friend works there however on Thursday I had an appointment for a cut and finish with Evie one of the juniors as part of her training process! Evie was very professional and made sure my cut was perfect seeking advice from Tony where necessary! When getting extensions applied (something I had already planned to do) my hair dresser commented on how lovely my cut was by Evie! I would recommend Evie or any of the lovely staff in the salon for all your hair needs ⭐️💜
