Curly Hair Experts

Curly hair is not a problem to be fixed. It needs a specialist who understands texture, pattern and how to cut for the hair you actually have — not the hair a generic guide assumes you have.

We use professional salon brands including K18, Olaplex, Kerasilk and Goldwell, choosing products according to the hair and service being performed. For professional hair extensions, we work with premium Remi Cachet and Beauty Works hair and recommend appropriate extension aftercare for the system fitted. Wigs & Warpaint also has its own range of salon products, which are popular with our clients. We don’t believe in using the same product on everyone — we choose what best suits your hair, your service and the result we’re trying to achieve.

Absolutely. We can guide you through either a big chop for a fresh start or a gradual transition where we work with your existing length. Either way, we'll teach you styling techniques, recommend the right products and support you through every stage.

Hair extensions are individually priced because the cost depends on the fitting method, hair range, length, density and amount of hair required. A subtle filler service will cost very differently from a complete length and volume transformation. Your 30-minute consultation is £30 and is fully credited against your fitting if you go ahead. We’ll assess your hair, colour-match you, discuss the different options and give you a clear quotation before any hair is ordered.

We're at 11 West One Plaza, Fitzwilliam Street, Sheffield S1 4JB — right in the city centre, Near the end of division street in the complex where Akbars & Brewski is, Large Car parks at either side of complex.

Absolutely. We have a dedicated floor available for bridal parties and offer tailored wedding packages for hair and makeup.

Come to your appointment with your natural curl pattern — avoid straightening or blow-drying beforehand. We'll start with a consultation to understand your curl goals, texture and lifestyle so we can create the perfect shape.

A curly cut is performed on dry hair so the stylist can see how each curl naturally sits and account for shrinkage. This means the shape is built around movement and bounce, rather than cutting wet hair that behaves completely differently once dry.

Balayage is a hand-painted highlighting technique that creates natural, sun-kissed dimension. Unlike traditional foil highlights, balayage blends seamlessly as it grows out, giving you a softer, more lived-in look.

You can typically go 3–4 months between balayage appointments. It's one of the lowest-maintenance colour options because the freehand technique means no harsh regrowth lines.

A keratin treatment lasts 3–5 months depending on your hair type and aftercare routine. Results gradually fade naturally, so there's no awkward grow-out phase.

Yes. Our Kerasilk treatments are formaldehyde-free and safe for coloured, highlighted and bleached hair. In fact, keratin can help protect colour-treated hair by sealing the cuticle.

K18 is a molecular repair treatment that works in just 4 minutes. It reconnects broken polypeptide chains inside the hair fibre, reversing damage from colour, heat and chemical treatments. The results are long-lasting and cumulative.
