Whether you're moving from long to short, adding layers and texture, or introducing a fringe, this service includes detailed consultation, a full reshaping cut, and professional styling to complete your new look. ## What to Expect Your appointment begins with an **in-depth consultation** where your stylist will discuss your desired style, face shape, hair type, lifestyle, and how much time you want to spend styling at home. Hair is then **washed and conditioned** before the cut begins. The restyle itself involves: - **Complete reshaping** using layering, graduation, texturising, and weight removal - Techniques tailored to your hair texture and the new silhouette - A **professional blow-dry** to set the shape and reveal the structure - **Finishing with hot tools** (straighteners, tongs, or wands) and styling products as needed Your stylist will show you how to recreate the finish at home and recommend products that work with your new cut. Our team in Handcross—including seniors like Lisa, Harry, Kayleigh, and Mary—specialise in precision cutting and will guide you through every step. ## Who It's For A Restyle and Finish suits anyone wanting a **visibly different style**: going shorter, changing the overall shape, adding movement through layers, or introducing elements like an undercut or textured fringe. It's ideal if you're ready for transformation rather than maintenance. Because of the consultation and cutting involved, this service typically takes **75–90 minutes** and costs more than a standard trim. Clients should come prepared for a noticeable change and be open to discussing what will work practically with their hair type and daily routine. ## Maintaining Your New Style After a restyle, your hair will behave differently—especially if significant length or weight has been removed. Your stylist will provide **styling advice** and product recommendations so you can manage the new shape between visits. To keep your restyle looking sharp: - Use a **heat protectant** before blow-drying or using hot tools - Book maintenance cuts every **6–8 weeks** to preserve the shape - Follow your stylist's guidance on products suited to your hair texture and finish If your restyle includes a major colour change, that would typically be booked as a separate service. For clients considering both cut and colour transformations, our Handcross salon offers expert **colour correction**, **balayage**, **highlights**, and **toning** to complement your new cut. ## Making the Change Bringing **inspiration photos** helps your stylist understand your vision, but they'll also advise on what suits your face shape, hair condition, and lifestyle. Very damaged hair may need a more conservative cut to maintain strength, and major length changes can affect styling time and versatility. If you rely on tying your hair up for work or exercise, discuss this during consultation—your stylist will ensure the new style still offers the flexibility you need. For clients with curls or waves, choosing a stylist experienced in your texture (like our seniors at Aaron Russell) ensures the restyle works with your natural movement once weight is removed.

A restyle is a significant change in your overall hairstyle—such as going from long to short, changing the shape, or adding texture and layers. A regular cut maintains your existing style and length. Restyles involve more consultation and cutting time. How long does a Restyle and Finish take? Typically 75–90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the change and your hair length. This includes consultation, wash, cut, blow-dry, and styling. How much does a Restyle and Finish cost? Between £30 and £75, depending on the stylist's level and the extent of the transformation. Your stylist will confirm pricing during consultation. Should I bring photos of styles I like? Yes, inspiration photos help your stylist understand your vision. They'll advise on what will work with your face shape, hair type, and lifestyle, and suggest adjustments if needed. Can I get colour done at the same time? Colour is typically booked as a separate service. If you're planning both a restyle and a colour change, let the salon know when booking so adequate time can be scheduled. What if my hair is damaged—can I still have a restyle? Yes, but your stylist may recommend a more conservative cut to maintain hair strength and density. Very damaged hair may need staged changes rather than a dramatic transformation in one session. How often will I need to come back after a restyle? To keep the shape looking sharp, book maintenance cuts every 6–8 weeks. Your stylist will advise on a schedule that suits your new style. Will my new style be easy to manage at home? Your stylist will show you how to recreate the finish and recommend products suited to your hair. Discuss your styling time and skill level during consultation so the cut fits your routine. What if I usually tie my hair up—will I still be able to? Discuss this during consultation. Your stylist will ensure the new length and shape still offer the versatility you need for work, exercise, or convenience. What should I do to prepare for my appointment? Come with clean or day-old hair (it will be washed at the salon). Think about your lifestyle, styling preferences, and any concerns, and bring inspiration photos if you have them.
