Always use professional shampoos, treatments and conditioners as they will preserve your colour and the condition of your hair for longer. We recommend Aveda products as they are sulphate and paraben free, sulphates (salt) are very drying on the hair and parabens have been linked to cancer. Always shampoo your hair twice. The first is to cleanse your scalp the second will have a deeper cleansing effect on your hair, then condition the mid-Lengths and ends (2cm from the scalp) this will lock down the cuticle (the outside of the hair) and help keep your hair shiny, frizz free and tangle free.
Cutting and Styling
Pre: We recommend that on your first visit to Cutting House and for restyle appointments, you wear your hair free of bands and clips so your stylist can see your hair in its natural shape and clearly see hair growth patterns.
Post: When styling your hair start with a heat protector (even if you don't use heat they are great all round free radical protractors) then use products that are designed for the problem you want to solve. For example if you want to rid yourself of your flat crown, use a volumizing product, if you want shining smooth hair use a smoothing product through your mid length and ends. Hair sprays and finishing products seal in style and seal out Humidity.
Colouring
Pre: We recommend all new colour guests have an allergy test 24-48 hours before a colour service. When you come for your appointment, we recommend that your hair is free from products that have strong hair coaters, eg Pantene product range, non-professional styling products.
Post: Try not to shampoo your hair or go swimming for 24 hours after your colour.
Straightening, Texurising & Semi Permanent Blow Dry
We highly recommend you have a 15 minute free consultation with a senior stylist or style director before booking one of these services so we can listen to your individual needs and advise what is best for you.
