A good salon starts with a proper consultation — an experienced stylist asks about face shape, hair type and how much styling you actually do before picking up the scissors. Colour such as balayage or foils looks its best with regular maintenance appointments, so it pays to think about upkeep, not just the first result. Mall salons suit busy schedules, since an appointment can slot neatly around other errands, and clear pricing upfront saves awkward surprises at the till.
Tucked inside Royal Oak Mall with gift cards available, Kess makes it easy to fit good hair around the weekly shop.
