Cut & finish
Haircuts shaped around you, from regular maintenance to a new look.

Ladies Cut, Blow Dry & Restyle£52.00
Ready for a different look? A restyle gives us time to talk through a new length or shape, how it will work with your hair, and the styling it may need at home. Your appointment includes a cut, blow-dry and finish.
Gents Cut£28.00
A tailored haircut that works with your natural texture and the way you like to wear your hair. Talk to Barrie about maintaining your current style or making a subtle change.
Gents Cut & Restyle£35.00
For a more noticeable change of length or shape, choose a restyle. We’ll discuss your preferred look and how to keep it looking good between visits.
Blow-drys
A styled finish for everyday confidence or a special occasion.
Short hair£30.00
Add shape, movement or a smooth finish to shorter hair. We’ll talk through the look you prefer and style your hair to suit.
Medium hair£35.00
A blow-dry tailored to medium-length hair, whether you prefer a smooth finish, more volume or soft movement. Let us know the result you have in mind when booking.
Long hair£40.00
A blow-dry for longer hair, with time to create your chosen finish. If you would like additional styling for an occasion, mention this when booking so we can allow the right appointment.
Colour & highlights
Refresh your roots, explore a different shade or add brightness with foils.
Root Colour£40.00
Refresh colour at the roots to blend regrowth with your existing shade or help cover greys. We’ll discuss your current colour and maintenance routine to choose the right approach.
Full Head Colour£45.00–£50.00
An all-over colour service for a refreshed shade or a change of tone. Your starting colour, previous treatments and hair condition help us plan the result; a larger colour change may need a separate consultation.
T-Section Highlights£60.00
A focused refresh around the parting and hairline. T-section highlights can brighten the areas you see most without applying foils throughout the whole head.
Half Head Highlights£65.00
Highlights placed through the top and sides to add brightness and contrast. We’ll discuss placement and tone to complement your haircut and the overall finish you want.
Full Head Highlights£80.00
Foils placed throughout the hair for brightness and dimension across the whole head. The finished look depends on your starting shade and chosen placement; we’ll explain whether a toner would suit your colour.
Bleaching & toners
Lightening and tonal changes, planned with your hair’s condition in mind.
Bleaching — short hair£60.00
Lightening tailored to short hair and your chosen result. We’ll assess your starting shade, previous colour and hair condition before agreeing the approach.
Bleaching — medium hair£70.00
A lightening service for medium-length hair, planned around your colour history and condition. We’ll explain the achievable shade and any toning or aftercare to consider.
Bleaching — full headFrom £80.00
An all-over lightening service planned around your starting colour and hair condition. A major change may need more than one appointment. We’ll discuss what is achievable and confirm the price before you commit.
Toner£10.00
Refresh the tone of coloured or lightened hair, or soften unwanted warmth. A toner refines the shade rather than replacing a full colour or lightening service. We’ll help you decide whether it suits your hair.
