“Harry has cut my fringe twice and been amazing. Probably the best job out of everyone I have ever tried. His knowledge of curly hair products is great.”

Laura Palacio

“Andrzej managed to rescue me on a very bad hair day in London. He transformed my unruly hair into a stylish shiny coif. The salon is elegantly designed, clean and sun filled.”

Risa K

Frequently Asked Questions

Highlights vs Balayage?

Highlights

Foil technique used to lighten sections of hair from root to tip.

  • Brighter, more defined look
  • Uniform lift throughout
  • Higher maintenance (touch-ups every 6–8 weeks)

Balayage

A range of colouring techniques are tailored to your hair to create a soft, natural gradient.

  • Sun-kissed, blended finish
  • Grows out seamlessly

We have simplified things, adding both pricing in to one option, and allocating enough time for a thorough consultation with every service. However, if you are still unsure and would prefer advice before booking, Book a Consultation, and a stylist will help you to understand the best option.

Half Head vs Full Head?

Half Head

Highlights or balayage applied to the top and sides of the hair (including parting and front hairline).

  • Adds brightness and dimension
  • Ideal for maintaining existing colour
  • Quicker and lower cost than a full head

Full Head

Colour applied all over the head — top, sides, and underneath.

  • Creates a full transformation or complete coverage
  • Best for lighter, brighter looks
  • More time-intensive with fuller results
Do I need a skin test before colour?

At K&Co, your safety is our top priority. All clients having a colour service (including tints, highlights, balayage, glosses, or toners) must have a skin test at least 48 hours before their appointment.

Why Is a Skin Test Required?

Even if you've coloured your hair before, allergies can develop at any time. A skin test checks for any sensitivity to the ingredients in Redken's professional colour products, ensuring we can carry out your service safely.

When Do I Need a Skin Test?

You'll need a skin test if:

  • You are a new colour client at K&Co
  • It has been 6 months or more since your last colour appointment with us
  • You are having a different type of colour service than usual
  • Your medical history, medications, or skin condition has changed
