Finding a hairdresser in Westward Ho! is about finding a salon where you feel comfortable explaining what you want. A good appointment should take account of your hair, your daily routine and the amount of time you like to spend styling it. At Sam’s Hair & Beauty on Nelson Road, our hair services range from regular trims and blow-dries to restyles, colouring and occasion hair.
Start with how you wear your hair
Before your appointment, think about an ordinary week. Do you wash and go, use a hairdryer, or enjoy styling your hair with curls? Do you usually tie it back? These details are more useful than choosing a photograph alone. A fringe or a shorter shape can change how your hair sits, so tell your stylist how much styling you would realistically like to do at home.
Bring a few pictures of hair you like, together with any looks you would prefer to avoid. Photographs are a starting point for a conversation: your stylist can explain how a similar shape may work with your hair’s texture and length.
A trim, a restyle or something in between?
If you are happy with your shape, a maintenance cut may be all you need. If your hair feels difficult to manage, a restyle appointment gives you the chance to discuss changing the length, outline or layers. Sam’s offers wash and cut, cut and finish, restyle and finish, gents’ services and children’s cuts. You can compare the published options in our hair price list.
Thinking about a colour change?
Colour deserves its own conversation. Tell us about previous colouring and what you would like your next result to look like. The salon’s services include foils, tinting, toners and balayage. Cut and finish are listed separately from colouring, so discuss the full appointment when you enquire. A patch test is required for colour; please contact the salon to arrange this before your appointment.
