Evie did a great job on my hair - cut and colour - a few weeks ago. It still looks great! Thanks. Show all reviews - C Carli Fine > I found this salon because I complimented Evie’s shiny hair when we were at a local cafe and was delighted to learn she is a hairdresser. I am very picky about cuts for my 2C-3A curly hair, and am always amazed at how her trims and layer placements make my hair spring back to life!! - M Mary Ann Ventour > Linda did an absolutely amazing job on my hair. I am so pleased and will definitely go back. Thank you ## Frequently Asked Questions How is balayage different from highlights? Balayage is painted freehand for a softer blend and gentler regrowth; foils give precise, higher-contrast lift. Will I need a toner? Yes. Toning refines your shade (cool, creamy or warm) and neutralises brass for a polished finish. How often is maintenance? Face-frame every 8–12 weeks and a full refresh 12–20 weeks, with gloss top-ups 6–8 weeks. Does balayage work on dark hair? Absolutely. We can create caramel, mocha or bronde tones, or build brightness across a couple of sessions for hair health. Can it be combined with a cut or money-piece? Yes. Many clients pair balayage with a haircut and a brighter money-piece for extra pop around the face.
