Services
Haircuts
Our precision haircuts combine technical expertise with creative vision. Each session begins with a detailed consultation to understand your lifestyle and preferences. Our stylists use professional-grade tools to create shapes that enhance your features while considering hair texture and growth patterns. The service includes a relaxing scalp massage during shampooing and professional styling to showcase your new cut.
Colour Artistry
From classic single-process to complex multidimensional techniques, our colour specialists deliver flawless results. We offer permanent, semi-permanent, and retouch options using ammonia-free formulas where possible. Our colour balancing toners neutralise unwanted undertones, while bonding treatments preserve hair integrity. Every colour service includes a thorough consultation to determine the most flattering shades for your skin tone and lifestyle.
K18 Treatments
This revolutionary treatment restores hair strength at the molecular level. The two-step process begins with a pre-service mist that penetrates the cortex, followed by a reparative mask that seals in proteins. Ideal for chemically treated hair, it reduces breakage by up to 87% while maintaining vibrant colour. The 45-minute treatment can be added to any colour service or booked as a standalone appointment.
POPdry Services
Our express styling service offers multiple options to suit different needs. The POPmodel provides classic blowdries using round brushes, while POPstar creates red-carpet styles with hot tools. The POPin option delivers quick refreshes for clean hair, and POPup specialises in event styling. All services use professional styling products to ensure long-lasting results with minimal heat damage.
Balayage
This freehand colouring technique creates natural, sun-kissed effects with seamless grow-out. Our stylists customise placement and density based on your hair density and desired dimensionality. Available in quarter to full coverage options, each service includes toning to achieve perfect ash or golden tones. Clients can add root shadows or zone toning for enhanced depth and dimension.

You won’t be disappointed!! I was a bit anxious about letting go of my long hair but Alex talked me into a transition that turned out to be absolutely flawless. The man knows what he’s doing! 5 stars for the hospitality too by the wonderful team he’s pulled together. Highly recommend :)

I have been a long time Lady Marmalade customer and have always found Alex and his team to be extremely professional, skilled and on-trend. A visit to the salon involves great conversation, delicious coffee & biscotti and of course amazing colour, cut and style. Alex is also very good at teaching me how to maintain the style at home. :)
