More information

What's Included

Everything centred on a flattering shape, healthy hair and a polished finish.

  • Consultation to understand your goals, hair texture and lifestyle.
  • Cleanse and condition to prepare the hair.
  • Precision cut shaped to face, texture and growth patterns.
  • Blow dry and finish for smoothness, volume or wave as you prefer.
  • Fringe and outline detailing for a refined look.
  • Styling tips, tool guidance and product advice.
  • Option to add a gloss, toner or conditioning treatment.

Who It's For

If you want hair that looks polished yet low maintenance, this service is for you. It gives you a reliable shape that falls into place with minimal effort.

Great for straight, wavy or curly hair. Ideal if you value softness, shine and movement, or if you want a cut that supports grey blending or colour work.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around an hour for most appointments. First visits may take a little longer for consultation and finishing touches.

If you are planning a big change or adding a treatment, mention it when booking so we can allow the right amount of time.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Rebook every 6 to 12 weeks to keep the shape clean and manageable. Short styles and fringes may need a little sooner.

At home, use heat protection and a light finishing product. We will show you a quick refresh technique so your blow dry lasts longer.

If you colour your hair, align cut and colour appointments for the neatest grow out and best overall result.

    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!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you choose the right cut for me?
We start with a conversation about your goals, routine and what you like. Face shape, hair texture and growth patterns guide the shape, so the cut flatters and is easy to maintain.
Will the blow dry last on my hair?
Your finish is tailored to your texture and the weather on the day. With the right technique and products, most clients enjoy two to three days. We also show you how to refresh it quickly.
Can I add colour or a treatment to this appointment?
Yes. You can add a gloss, toner or conditioning treatment, or pair your cut with colour. Please mention it when booking so enough time is allowed.
How often should I book a cut and blow dry?
Most people return every 6 to 12 weeks depending on length, fringe and how fast hair grows. We will suggest a plan to keep your shape crisp without feeling high maintenance.
Do you cut curly or textured hair?
Yes. We work with your curl pattern and density, then finish in a way that suits how you wear it, whether natural, diffused or smooth.
