If you've searched for a hair cut in Northampton, the honest first question is whether you want a quick tidy-up or a proper restyle — the two need a different amount of the stylist's time, which is why we price by length rather than a single flat fee.
Every cut opens with a two-minute conversation about how you actually wear your hair day to day, not just what looks good in the chair. A style that needs fifteen minutes with straighteners every morning isn't the right cut for someone who wants to walk out the door — we'd rather tell you that before we start than after.
Why We Price Cuts By Length
A dry cut is £25 whatever your hair does, because it is a fixed piece of work on hair that is already prepared. Everything with a wash attached starts from £30 and moves upward with length, and that is not a surcharge dressed up as a price band — long, thick hair genuinely takes longer to section, longer to cut evenly and considerably longer to dry.
The practical effect is that you pay for the time your hair actually needs rather than an averaged price that quietly overcharges shorter hair to subsidise longer. Your stylist confirms the exact figure at the start of the appointment, before anything is cut.
Getting The Cut You Actually Wanted
Bring a photograph if you have one. It communicates in five seconds what takes five minutes to describe, and it removes almost all of the risk of a genuine misunderstanding about length. Two or three images are better than one, because the thread running through them is usually the thing you really want.
Be honest about your mornings, too. A style that needs fifteen minutes with straighteners every day is the wrong cut for someone who wants to leave the house in five, however good it looks in the chair. We would rather adapt the shape to your routine than hand you something you will fight with by Wednesday.
How Often To Come Back
A short, structured shape starts to lose its outline at four to six weeks. Longer hair holds for eight to twelve. If you are growing your hair out, keep coming — a light trim every ten to twelve weeks removes splits before they travel up the shaft, and people who trim regularly reach their target length sooner than people who avoid the salon for a year.
Booking A Cut At Our Northampton Studio
We are on Landcross Drive in Northampton, with free on-street parking directly outside and step-free access from the pavement through to the styling floor. Every chair is booked in advance rather than run as a walk-in queue, which is why nobody sits waiting and why appointments start on time.
Allow around an hour for a wash, cut and blow-dry, and about forty minutes for a dry cut. If you are coming straight from work, tell us when you book and we will put you in a later slot rather than one that leaves you rushing across town.
If you have never been to us before, the first appointment includes a longer consultation at no extra cost. We would rather spend ten minutes understanding how your hair behaves and how you actually style it at home than start cutting on assumptions and correct it at the next visit.
