Enabling, elevating, energising – hair is the ultimate mood booster and your greatest accessory, and we’d love to help you celebrate it. With our skincare inspired product textures, evocative botanical fine fragrance and packaging tones influenced by Sam’s much-loved garden, we want to bring joy to your hair care experience.
A collaboration between Sam and Lyn Harris from Perfumer H, the bespoke fine fragrance is evocative of an English garden after a rainstorm. Top notes of green leaf, herbs, water lily, clean pepper and frankincense are layered over a wet, woody base of juniper and cedar wood – a fresh, comforting scent lingers on hair all day long. Our recyclable packaging found in rich aubergine and bold red sit alongside softer pinks, lilacs and mint greens, ensuring this garden of florally inspired delights deserves pride of place within your haircare collection.

OLAPLEX.
We are proud to have been the very first salon in the UK that offered Olaplex - way before its Global fame! Our Director Tom Smith discovered this ground breaking brand while working in the US and brought it home to Billi Currie to test further. It was clear early on that OLAPLEX would be a game-changer and years on its still a favourite amongst our team and our clients!
Olaplex No.1 & 2 are used in-salon only to repair and strengthen your hair like no other. Olaplex still offers the most dramatic condition improvement on the market. Olaplex No.3 is the home-use version of this technology, and has the power to repair damage done at home from styling or wear and tear. Olaplex now offers a shampoo, conditioner, leave in smoothing cream, and a bonding oil. They all contain the same patented technology that repairs and conditions the hair from the inside out.

ABC is natural and simple, they believe in pure ingredients from carefully selected origins, free from silicones, sulphates and parabens, mineral oil and artificial colorants.

COLOR WOW.
Color wow is designed to maximise the appearance of coloured hair. To identify the issues that those who colour their hair struggle with, and to provide easy, effective solutions.
We carry three innovative offerings from Color Wow. Dreamcoat is the first product that tackles issues of dullness, and frizz and transforms the hair - without any weight or heaviness! Normally anti-frizz and anti-humidity products work by adding a heavy coating which seals the hair but can leave it feeling oily or lank. Color Wow has innovated technology that protects and re-texturises the hair without those undesirable side effects.
Dreamcoat for curly hair is ideal for supporting natural curls without crispness and Raise the Root give long lasting volume that lasts day after day.
