Services
Balayage
Balayage is a freehand hair highlighting technique that creates natural, sun-kissed effects. Our stylists apply lightener strategically to achieve dimension and brightness while preserving your natural base. Ideal for clients seeking low-maintenance, gradual transitions between tones. This service requires 23 hours depending on hair length and complexity.
Curly Haircuts
Tailored cuts for curly and coily hair types, focusing on enhancing natural texture and reducing frizz. Our specialists use techniques like the DevaCut to shape curls while maintaining volume and definition. Includes a consultation to discuss styling routines and product recommendations for at-home maintenance. Appointments last 1.52 hours.
Hair Extensions
Keratin bonds and nano rings for seamless length or volume enhancement. Each application includes a consultation to determine suitability, desired outcome, and maintenance plan. Our stylists ensure discreet placement and natural movement, with aftercare guidance to prolong extension lifespan. Full installations take 23 hours.
Silent Appointments
Designed for clients preferring minimal conversation during their visit. The focus remains on technical expertise while respecting your need for tranquility. Consultations occur at the start to clarify requirements, followed by a pressure-free experience in a dedicated private space when available.
Perm Services
Customisable perms for natural-looking waves or defined curls. Our stylists assess hair health and texture to select the appropriate solution strength and rod size. Includes a pre-service consultation to discuss styling options and aftercare for long-lasting results. Appointment duration varies between 1.52.5 hours.

I went in after a disastrous box dye incident and Fatima, without hesitation or judgement, adapted a balayage approach to rectify my work. The results were incredible! Most hairdressers had told me it would take 2-3 sessions to rectify but Fatima sorted it in 1. Brilliant job! Lovely, relaxing setting, friendly staff and great value for money too.

My first visit to Wisteria Avenue was perfect. Mike (owner), Kirstie (colour) and Maria (wash cut and style) were all amazing, all playing a part in making my experience perfect. A small, intimate and friendly salon with great tunes playing in the background, lovely friendly, welcoming staff and great prices. I highly recommend them!

A lovely experience with Maria who coloured my hair beautifully. She listened to my every need and helped me to decide on a colour and a cut which suited me after never really being happy elsewhere. I would highly recommend Maria and Wisteria Ave and loved my time at the salon. They also have a secret museum!! Amazing.
