Frequently Asked Questions About Our Hair Services in Reading
Do I need a consultation before booking a haircut?
A separate consultation is not required for haircuts. An in-depth consultation is always carried out on the day of your appointment, where your stylist will discuss your hair type, preferences, lifestyle, and desired result before starting the service.
For colour services and technical treatments (such as keratin treatments or perms), a consultation may be required in advance to assess hair condition, discuss suitability, and ensure the best and safest outcome.
What hair services do you offer at your Reading salon?
We offer a full range of professional hair services including women’s and men’s haircuts, hair colouring, highlights and toners, keratin and smoothing treatments, perms, and tailored hair treatments. Our services are designed to suit different hair types, styles, and lifestyles.
Are your hair services suitable for both women and men?
Yes. Our Reading hair salon provides hair services for both women and men. We tailor each service individually, taking into account hair texture, length, styling preferences, and maintenance requirements.
How do I know which hair service is right for me?
If you’re unsure which service to book, we recommend scheduling a consultation. Our experienced hairdressers will guide you through the options and suggest the most suitable hair service based on your hair goals, daily routine, and long-term maintenance.
Can I book hair services online?
Yes. Most hair services can be booked online. For certain treatments, such as colour corrections, keratin treatments, or perms, a consultation may be required before confirming the appointment to ensure the service is appropriate for your hair.
Do you provide personalised hair services rather than standard packages?
Absolutely. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all services. All of our hair services are personalised, with treatments, techniques, and finishes adapted to suit your individual hair and desired outcome.
