A Time for Change

Your Hair Transformation Begins with a Consultation

A new hairstyle might start with an image you've saved, a colour you've admired or simply a feeling that you're ready for something different.

But what looks beautiful on someone else isn't necessarily the right choice for your hair.

That's why we take the time to listen.

During your hair consultation, we'll talk about your current colour, natural texture, hair condition, styling routine and what you'd like to achieve.

Perhaps you want to go lighter but are concerned about the condition of your hair. Maybe you're thinking about a shorter haircut but aren't sure how it will work with your natural movement. Or perhaps you'd love a colour that's easier to maintain between appointments.

Our role is to help you understand your options and offer honest, professional advice.

Sometimes that means planning a complete transformation. Other times, it means recommending a smaller change that will make your hair look and feel better without unnecessary maintenance.

A great place to start is by booking a complimentary hair consultation with one of our wonderfully creative Combers stylists. It's an opportunity to talk through your ideas, discuss your hair's condition, explore different cuts and colours, and get professional advice on what will work best for you and your lifestyle.

Whether you're considering a subtle refresh or a complete transformation, we'll help you find the right approach for your hair.

A New Season, A New Hair Colour?

Autumn and winter often inspire guests to explore different hair colours.

Some want to move towards richer brunettes, softer blondes or warmer copper tones. Others prefer to maintain their existing colour while adding depth, shine or dimension.

There's no rule that says you need darker hair in winter. What matters is finding a colour that complements your skin tone, natural hair, personal style and the level of maintenance you're comfortable with.

Our amazingly talented colourists work with a range of professional techniques, including highlights, balayage, creative colouring and colour correction.

We also understand that the condition of your hair plays an important role in achieving beautiful results.

If you're considering a significant colour change, we'll assess your hair's current condition, previous colour history and what's realistically achievable. Some transformations may benefit from a gradual approach to help protect the hair's condition.

And if you simply want to refresh your existing colour, carefully placed highlights, a softer blend or a change in tone can make a noticeable difference.

It's about creating colour that looks beautiful, feels personal and works with your hair.

Don't Forget Your Scalp During the Seasonal Transition

When we're planning a new haircut or colour, it's easy to focus entirely on the lengths of our hair.

But your scalp deserves attention too.

As temperatures fall and we spend more time in centrally heated environments, some people find their scalp becomes drier, tighter or more sensitive.

Very hot showers, frequent washing and unsuitable haircare products can sometimes add to that discomfort.

It's important to understand that scalp concerns have different causes, and persistent itching, flaking or hair shedding shouldn't automatically be put down to the weather.

At Combers, we've been investing in further education around hair and scalp health so we can offer our guests more informed, personalised advice.

Kate Newton, one of our experienced hair professionals, has undertaken specialist scalp health education and offers private hair and scalp consultations using a scalp camera.

These £60 appointments provide an opportunity to discuss your concerns, take a closer look at your scalp and explore suitable professional haircare options.

Where a concern requires medical assessment, Kate can recommend seeking advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

If you've noticed changes in your scalp or hair condition, particularly as we move into winter, a specialist consultation can be a useful starting point.

Choosing the Right Haircare for Winter

A beautiful haircut or colour is only part of the journey. How you look after your hair between salon appointments matters too.

As the seasons change, you may find that the shampoo, conditioner or styling products you used throughout summer no longer give you quite the same results.

Hair that feels dry may benefit from additional conditioning, while finer hair might need lightweight products that improve manageability without weighing it down.

If your scalp feels sensitive, choosing suitable cleansing and care products becomes particularly important.

At Combers, we work with Davines professional haircare, including the specialist Naturaltech range, which offers targeted products for different hair and scalp needs.

For example, Davines Naturaltech Nourishing is designed for dry or damaged hair, while the Calming range is developed for sensitive scalps.

Our team can help you understand which products may suit your hair and how to use them effectively as part of your routine at home.
