A private residence. Melissa comes to you. Same hands, quoted before you confirm.

A hotel suite

Melissa comes to the suite. Dakota Manchester is the first hotel on the list. Other high-end hotels, in Manchester or in London for the right client, by arrangement. Quoted first.

Tib Street, out of hours

By arrangement at the salon on Tib Street after the public floor has closed. One venue, never the default.

02Colour

The colour journeyalways starts with Colourstart.

Colourstart is a licensed skin allergy alert test. You wear it for 48 hours before any colour. If the skin is clear, we colour. If it isn’t, we don’t. That is the whole rule.

  1. 01

    The conversation

    What you want the colour to do, how often you can sit, and what your last colour actually did to the hair.

  2. 02

    Colourstart

    A licensed skin allergy alert test. Applied at least 48 hours before any colour, and again if it has been more than six months. No reaction, we proceed. A reaction, we stop. Colour never happens without it.

  3. 03

    The formula

    Mixed for your hair, not a swatch wall. Blend, grey blending or correction, planned so the grow-out stays quiet.

  4. 04

    The finish

    Cut and style to the colour, not the other way around. You leave with hair that works on a Tuesday, not only in the mirror.
