Our hairdressers are proud to provide Birmingham with outstanding, beautiful hair treatments and services in styling and colouring.

HAIRSTYLES & TREATMENTS

Hair Botox
From £250

With an innovative formula, Hair Botox aims to restore deep hydration to the hair. It provides replacement of mass, nutrition, shine and softness, giving a healthy smooth touch. Hair Botox is rich in properties such as Shea Butter and Pracaxi Oil that are hydrating and nourishing while Hyaluronic Acid acts directly on the internal and external structure of the hair fibre providing an intense restoration and immediate healing. This seals the cuticles and promotes a mirror effect shine.

Brazilian Blowdry
From £230

Through the use of breakthrough bonding technologies, this customizable smoothing treatment actually improves the condition of the hair by creating a protective protein layer around the hair shaft to eliminate frizz and smooth the cuticle. The end result is smooth, frizz-free hair with radiant shine for up to 12 weeks!

Curly Cut
From £65

Unlike standard cutting methods, this method is tailor made for curly and textured hair. It allows the stylist to cut the hair according to the way it would naturally fall. A curly cut usually requires your stylist to cut your hair while it's dry so they can see your natural growth patterns.

Olaplex
Starts from £20

Olaplex Bond Building technology works on a molecular level. Their patented technology is a molecule that dramatically improves the hair strength, protects from within, and provides immediate results for all hair types. The treatment can either go in with your colour to protect against damage or a stand alone treatment.

Beauty Works Celebrity Choice Tapes
£P.O.A.

Beauty Works Slimline® Tape system integrates into the hairline by placing the extension directly on the root of the hair using lightweight tape-in hair extensions. Unlike other tape-in hair extensions, Beauty Works Slimline® tape offers a matt appearance at the root, meaning they’re more discreet and users are free to style their hair up or down without extensions feeling bulky or uncomfortable. With over ten years of experience, Beauty Works experts have designed Slimline® tape extensions that are perfectly in proportion in size and shape, offering just the right amount of weight per tab. Available in a wide selection of colours and lengths from 14" to 28" inches, Slimline® tape-in hair extensions offer an express service for women wanting to add ribbons of colour, volume and lots of length.

“The Greatest Thing About Hairdressing Is Making People Feel Beautiful.”

Joseph Jew Style Director

I started my career at Nicky Clarke as an assistant in 2013. After 3 years of training i passed all my assessments and became a stylist! I was over the moon with my new qualification and couldn’t wait to get started.

Nicky Clarke provided me with so many opportunities such as appearing on TV promoting and selling NC electrical products, going on stage with the man himself assisting him in his product sales and going to london for LFW blogging events and doing hair for the NTA’s. On the side of all of this having an amazing clientele it was just the dream.

However in 2019 i decided i wanted an adventure. For the next 3 years i lived in New Zealand. I travelled the beautiful country and found my love for the outdoors. I was based in Wellington for 2 years doing hairdressing in the busy City business district. It was wonderful seeing all the different techniques and approach to hairdressing! After a few weeks of working at the salon I was asked to teach the assistants my way of hairdressing. I obviously said yes!

After all the restrictions of the covid pandemic were lifted I decided to come home. It’s so lovely being back in Birmingham and working at the salon my career sky rocketed!

My favourite things to do in the salon: big, bouncy blow drys, curly hair cuts and creative haircuts.

She has continued to work her way up for over 11 years.

With her welcoming and hospitable approach, Jess always wants to engage a good understanding of her clients likes and dislikes so she can create them a unique look that not only will transform their hair, it will match their style and lifestyle whatever that may be!

Jess believes it’s all about enhancing and working with the natural with both cut and colour.

She thinks your hair should not only look good when you walk out of the salon, but last until you return to her seat.

“To transform people's hair is such a good feeling; mostly to give each individual confidence and make them feel good is my main love for hairdressing!
