THE STORY

Cutting & 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.

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.
