- Personal consultation to understand your hair, finish and routine.
- Double cleanse for scalp and lengths, with conditioner selected for long hair.
- Detangling, heat protection and careful sectioning to minimise tension.
- Professional blow dry using round-brush technique for smoothness, shape and lift.

Who It's For
Perfect if your hair sits below the shoulders and you want a polished, professional result without fuss. Works for fine, thick, wavy or straight long hair that needs smoothness, lasting shape and shine.
Ideal before meetings, social plans or as a regular reset. Suitable for colour-treated hair and those wearing extensions, with techniques adjusted to protect the hair and bonds.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Allow 45 to 60 minutes for long hair. Extra-long or very thick hair may need 60 to 75 minutes, especially if you would like tonged curls or extra smoothing.
If you are heading to an evening event, a later slot keeps your finish fresh. For workdays, a morning appointment sets your style for the day.
Aftercare & Maintenance
On day one, avoid touching the hair while it settles and keep it dry for at least two hours. Do not tie it tightly.
At night, sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase or loosely secure hair with a soft scrunchie. In the morning, refresh roots with dry shampoo and reshape with a cool shot of air.
On day two or three, smooth a pea-sized serum through mid-lengths and ends. If you wear extensions, brush from the ends upward and keep oils away from the bonds. A weekly mask will keep lengths soft and glossy between visits.

I’ve visited this hairdresser a few times over the years, and today I had a wonderful haircut with Hannah. Although it had been a while since my last appointment at John Richards due to moving house, the team still recognised me, and the atmosphere inside was so warm and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back soon!
