Ladies Wash & Cut

From £38
From 45 mins

A Ladies Wash & Cut is a complete refresh for your hair, combining a proper cleanse with precision cutting and a finished look. It is ideal when your style has lost its shape, your ends feel heavy, or you want a tidy, wearable cut that is easier to manage at home.

More information

What a Ladies Wash & Cut appointment includes

A wash and cut is more than a quick trim. It is designed to reset the condition and shape of your hair, then finish it so you can see how it will sit day to day.

  • A brief consultation on your current style, length goals, and how you normally wear your hair.
  • Shampoo and condition chosen to suit your hair type and how it is behaving right now (dryness, oiliness, product build-up).
  • Detangling and sectioning to keep the cut even and controlled.
  • Cutting and shaping to remove bulk, tidy ends, or refine layers and face-framing.
  • Fringe reshaping where needed to bring the whole cut back into balance.
  • Finishing and styling so you can check the shape, movement, and overall line.
  • Simple aftercare guidance on brushing, heat styling, and when to book your next cut.

When a Ladies Wash & Cut is the right reset

Book a wash and cut when your hair feels harder to style, even if the length still feels fine. It is especially useful if your ends are splitting, your layers have dropped out of shape, or your fringe is sitting in your eyes. It also works well before an event when you want your hair to look neat and polished without a full colour service.

How the wash, cut and finish typically runs

The appointment starts with a quick chat about what you like and what is not working, then moves to the basin for shampoo and conditioner. After towel-drying, the hair is cut in sections to keep the shape consistent, with checks for balance and weight through the perimeter and around the face. A finish follows so you can see the cut in its final form and request small tweaks before you leave.

Keeping your cut looking good between appointments

To keep the shape for longer, focus on gentle drying and controlled heat. Use a conditioner through mid-lengths and ends to reduce frizz and tangling, and avoid repeatedly going over the same sections with straighteners. If your fringe grows quickly, a short maintenance visit can help the rest of the cut look fresher for longer.

    I had my hair washed and cut by Lisa and, as this was my first visit to the salon, I was a little nervous. However, Lisa’s warm and bubbly personality immediately put me at ease. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and carefully looked at the photo I had brought with me. The appointment was only around 40 minutes, but Lisa did a fantastic job and I’m really happy with the result. I have very curly hair and have struggled in the past to find stylists who know how to cut it well, so I was particularly impressed with how well Lisa handled it. I’ll definitely be returning and would happily recommend Lisa to anyone, especially those with curly hair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Ladies Wash & Cut the same as a trim?
A trim is usually focused on taking a small amount off the ends. A Ladies Wash & Cut includes a cleanse plus shaping, so the cut is checked for balance, weight and how it sits when finished.
Can I book a wash and cut if I want a bigger change in style?
Yes, a wash and cut can be used for a restyle as well as maintenance. Bring a couple of reference photos and be ready to discuss your styling routine and how bold you want the change to be.
Do you cut my hair wet or dry?
Most of the shaping is typically done with the hair controlled and sectioned after the wash. Depending on your hair type and finish, small adjustments may be made once it is dry so the shape sits correctly.
What should I do before my Ladies Wash & Cut appointment?
Arrive with your hair as you normally wear it, and be ready to explain what you like and dislike about your current cut. If you use extensions or have specific concerns such as breakage, mention it at the start so the cut can be planned around it.
How often should I have a wash and cut?
Many people book every 6 to 10 weeks to keep the line and layers looking intentional. If you have a fringe or a very structured style, you may prefer slightly more frequent maintenance.
