Your health and well-being is a priority.

A mild reaction to hair dye in a client usually presents as an itchy dry rash on the upper eyelids (see eyelid dermatitis) and/or the rims of the ears.

More severe reactions cause marked reddening, blistering and swelling of the eyelids, scalp, face and neck.

If any symptoms are present from a previous colour, you need an allergy test 24 hours before your next colour.

Some people already have or can develop an allergic reaction to hair colour products which can result in hospitalisation.

This precautionary measure helps ensure that we can safely apply Schwarzkopf Professional colour to your hair without the risk of a reaction.

We have a tiered price system where you pay for the level of Stylist that you see.
A Stylist’s level is determined by their experience, skill and popularity.
We understand that our clients have unique challenges and aspirations and we believe our personalised approach is a fair, simple and transparent.

If you are unsure on what colour service you require, then yes, you will need a free 10 to 20 minute consultation.

A consultation also allows us to gauge the correct amount of time for your appointment and give you a more accurate price for the service.

If we are unsure of the expected results due to previous colour treatments, we may cut some samples of your hair to do tests on to ensure what you want is achievable.
