Advanced Hair & Scalp Analysis

Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Every consultation begins with an in-depth analysis using advanced scalp imaging technology, allowing Sue to assess both your hair and scalp before recommending a personalised treatment plan.

Your hair will be assessed for strength, elasticity and overall condition, while your scalp is examined for signs of thinning, inflammation, dandruff, psoriasis, eczema, congestion and other conditions that may be affecting healthy hair growth.

Whether you're experiencing hair loss, scalp concerns or simply want healthier hair, this consultation provides expert advice, tailored recommendations and a clear plan to help you achieve your hair and scalp goals.

Early Detection of Skin Cancer & Melanoma

Your wellbeing is just as important as the health of your hair. As part of your scalp assessment, Sue is certified in the early detection of skin cancer and melanoma, providing an additional level of care during your consultation.

Whilst this is not a medical diagnosis, your scalp and surrounding skin will be visually checked for any unusual moles or skin changes that may require further investigation by your GP or dermatologist.

This simple addition offers extra reassurance and reflects our commitment to looking after your overall scalp health as well as the condition of your hair.

Dermabrasion Scalp Exfoliation

Often described as a facial for the scalp, our Dermabrasion treatment deeply exfoliates the scalp to remove product build-up, excess oils, dead skin cells and impurities that can affect scalp health and the condition of your hair.

By creating a cleaner, healthier scalp environment, this treatment helps optimise the effectiveness of your hair care routine and prepares the scalp for further specialist treatments where appropriate. It is ideal for clients experiencing dryness, flaking, congestion or simply wanting to maintain a healthy scalp.

Using advanced scalp imaging, you'll be able to see your scalp before and after treatment, allowing you to clearly understand your scalp health and the results achieved during your appointment.

Hair Loss Solutions

Hair loss affects everyone differently, which is why identifying the underlying cause is the first step. Your journey begins with our Advanced Hair & Scalp Analysis, enabling us to create a treatment plan that's tailored specifically to your needs.

Depending on your consultation findings, your programme may include targeted scalp treatments, Dermapen therapy, professional home care, nutritional support and ongoing monitoring to encourage healthier hair growth.

Our goal is to improve the health of your scalp, support natural hair growth where possible and guide you with honest, evidence-based advice throughout your hair restoration journey.

Colour Design

Beautiful colour should feel effortless. Whether you're looking to brighten your blonde, softly blend your greys, add depth and dimension or completely refresh your look, every colour journey begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your hair, lifestyle and long-term goals.

Specialising in lived-in blondes, signature balayage, grey blending and personalised colour placement, Sue creates beautifully tailored colour designed to complement your features, enhance your natural beauty and maintain the health and integrity of your hair. From subtle enhancements to colour correction and complete transformations, every service is carefully planned to achieve a seamless result that grows out beautifully.

The focus is always on creating colour that looks naturally beautiful, feels healthy and gives you confidence every day. By choosing techniques that are right for you—not simply following trends—you'll enjoy hair that's as individual as you are.

 

Hybrid Hair Enhancement

Beautiful hair extensions should look and feel as though they were always yours. Whether you're looking for added length, natural volume or to enhance finer areas, every set is designed around your hair, your lifestyle and the look you want to achieve.

Rather than relying on a single technique, Sue carefully selects the most suitable extension methods for your hair, combining traditional and innovative techniques, including V-Light technology for finer or more delicate hair. This hybrid approach creates a lightweight, seamless result that blends naturally while protecting the health and integrity of your own hair.

The result is comfortable, natural-looking hair that gives you confidence every day—whether you're dreaming of longer lengths, added volume or simply fuller, healthier-looking hair.

Wigs, Toppers & Aftercare

Whether you already wear a wig or topper, or you're considering one for the first time, Sue offers expert advice, ongoing care and professional maintenance to help you look and feel your best. If you're unsure where to start, guidance can also be provided on choosing the most suitable hair replacement solution for your individual needs.

From washing, conditioning and restorative treatments to cutting, colouring, styling and refreshing, every service is tailored to prolong the life of your 100% human hair wig or topper while restoring its appearance, comfort and natural finish. Each piece is cared for with the same attention and expertise as natural hair.

For added convenience, your wig or topper can simply be dropped off for maintenance and collected once it's ready, making it easy to keep your hair replacement looking beautiful without disrupting your routine. If you're unsure whether your wig or topper is suitable for maintenance, please get in touch and we'll be happy to advise you before booking.

Hair & Scalp Home Care

Healthy hair doesn't stop when you leave the salon. The right home care routine plays an essential role in maintaining a healthy scalp, protecting your hair and supporting the results achieved during your in-salon treatments.

Following your consultation, Sue will recommend the most suitable professional products for your individual hair and scalp needs. As a proud stockist of Nioxin and Milk_Shake, every recommendation is based on what will best support your hair, whether your focus is scalp health, hydration, colour care, strengthening or managing hair thinning.

By combining professional treatments with the right home care, you'll continue to support the health, condition and appearance of your hair long after you leave the salon.

Beautiful, healthy hair starts from within. Alongside your personalised treatment plan, Sue may recommend nutritional support to complement your in-salon treatments and home care routine.

As a proud Glowwa Hair Food stockist, Sue can advise on the most suitable supplements to support healthy hair growth, while also benefiting your skin, nails and overall wellbeing. Every recommendation is tailored to your individual needs and long-term hair goals.

By combining professional treatments, expert home care and targeted nutritional support, you'll be giving your hair the best possible foundation for long-term health and vitality.
