There is free parking on the street, or the salon is a short walk from Hither Green railway station. There are also lots of bus routes running close to the salon.
What is an allergy alert test (aat) and why do I need one?
This quick, pain-free test will show whether you are likely to have an allergic reaction to hair colour. This must be performed if you are a new client to the salon or if your previous AAT with me has expired. There is no charge for this test, and it has to be done 48 hours prior to a colour appointment.
How long will I need For my appointment?
This can vary, but generally depends upon the service. A cut and blow dry normally takes one to one and a half hours. A colour can take anything from two to five hours. Maria will give you an estimate when you have your AAT, as you can have a short consultation at that point. If you are having a major colour change or are a new colour client, you will need a full consultation.
Do you use a bond builder?
Yes. Maria strongly believes in keeping the integrity of the hair during and after chemical treatments. She uses IdHAIR Nioplex Rebond.
Should I wash my hair before my appointment?
Maria will wash your hair in the salon.
Colour works best with hair that is clean, but it does not need to be freshly washed that day. However, please do not arrive for a colour service with a build-up of root touch-up spray.
How regularly should I cut my hair?
This depends on a number of factors. Maria will discuss this with you at your first appointment.
