THE STORY

Hair Services

Cutting and Finish

A successful hairstyle’s foundation is in a quality haircut that considers all aspects – face shape, density of hair and your lifestyle. Your visit begins with a four-point consultation in which we discuss the condition of your scalp, hair and your preference in colour and style. Afterward, you’ll receive an individualised shampoo, scalp massage and conditioning treatment.

Colour

A mastered art at Rakis on Collins, our principal colourists’ expertise lay in all areas. Opaque to sheer, highlights, blazed and grey coverage. We can provide you with other various smoothing and straightening services and encourage you to discuss prices with your colourist as each treatment may differ based on individual needs.

Including shampoo and conditioner advice, products for home use and follow-up phone calls to check-in on your progress.
