Hair, in its best light
Cutting, colour and care in a bright room on Marchmont Street. Book a chair online, see a shade on real hair before you commit, and know what it costs before you arrive.
Real hair, simulated strand by strand. Run your cursor through it.
The room
Six chairs north light, unhurried colour and a price list that means exactly what it says.
We book colour with the processing time written in, so nobody is hurried and nobody sits under a dryer they did not need.
Every appointment starts with a consultation at the mirror, even a trim. Every price on this site is the price at the desk, for the stylist you choose — and if a colour will take two visits, we tell you before the first.

Shade studio
See it on hair before it is on yours
The hair beside this panel is thousands of strands, lit and coloured the way hair is: by how much of each melanin is in the fibre. Change the shade and it goes on from the root, the way colour does.
Your formula Level 7 gold, balayage, soft wave
Ask for this colourA guide, not a promise: the result depends on where your hair starts and what it has been through. We talk it through at a consultation.

One copper from root to tip, glossed every six weeks to keep the warmth.

A deep red over a natural level 3: in daylight it is red, indoors nearly black.

Level 10 ash, all-over, sleek
Lifted over two visits with bond repair between, then toned to cancel every trace of yellow.
By Nadia Farrow
Level 5 rose, lived-in, waves
A rose tint on the lightened ends only; it fades to a soft peach in about a month.

A pastel violet over a level 9. Semi-permanent: lasts eight to ten washes.

What guests say
I brought a photo of a colour I had been chasing for three years. They showed me it on the screen first, told me honestly it would take two visits, and it did.
The price on the website was the price at the desk. That should not be remarkable, and yet.
Forty minutes of processing, and they told me so when I booked. I brought my laptop and got a morning’s work done.
