Services
Olaplex Treatments
Olaplex treatments rebuild broken disulphide bonds in hair, eliminating breakage and enhancing shine. Ideal for colour-treated or damaged hair, this celebrity-favourite product works during chemical services to protect and strengthen strands. Clients enjoy long-lasting results until their next chemical appointment.
Fabriq Hair Rebuilding
Fabriq treatments use protein blends to repair and strengthen hair in under 30 minutes. ReHydrate targets dryness, while ReBuild adds volume to fine hair. Both options deliver visible improvements lasting up to one month, with Quick Fix+ offering intensified results for severely damaged hair.
Quiet Chair Service
Our Quiet Chair service provides a low-interaction experience for clients preferring minimal conversation. While stylists conduct necessary consultations, they focus solely on the service without small talk. This option caters to neurodiverse clients or those seeking a meditative hairdressing experience in our otherwise lively salon environment.
Hair Consultations
Free consultations help clients explore styling options and product recommendations tailored to their hair type. Our experts assess hair health and lifestyle needs to create achievable at-home routines. This service ensures clients feel confident in their chosen treatments before any chemical or cutting work begins.
Reset Treatment
The Reset Treatment transforms unruly hair with frizz resistance and enhanced manageability lasting four months. Suitable for thick, curly, or damaged hair, it creates smoother, shinier results through advanced conditioning technology. Clients enjoy easier styling and improved hair health with humidity-resistant finishes.

Sorry if I upset people here as I was distracted by my phone whilst reviewing and it only showed one star. Now put right. I am new to this salon and at last I have found a hairdresser I have confidence in. Lauren

Had a great experience getting my hair cut since reopening after lockdown. Got a text the morning of the appointment to read through guidelines. Hand sanitizer all over the salon, everyone in masks. Lauren and Gemma were so friendly and also so efficient, my appointment was really relaxing and didn’t take longer than usual. A lovely bit of normality.

First time I have had my hair treated and I had a full head of foils. Would definitely recommend these stylist as they are so friendly and my hair is so much lighter and feels healthier as-well. My… stylist Lauren did an amazing job and I was so overwhelmed and so happy with my results. 100% would recommend to anyone and it’s based in Skipton so it’s very practical to travel to.

Fantastic service each time, particularly as a new member when the stylist sits down with you to properly understand what you're after and how to achieve your desired look. Plenty of perks and rewards for clients making your custom that extra bit special

Although this salon is a little pricey, it's definitely worth paying the extra. Gemma is a fantastic stylist and will work with you to determine the best cut for your hair. Lovely experience.
