Fringe & Partial
Very often it is not your hair that is the problem — it is one part of it. The fringe that frizzes before you have left the house, or the hairline that goes first in any weather. Treat that section alone and the whole head reads as done.

just less of it
Before anything else
Everything you do to your hair costs it something. Including nothing.
This is the part most salons leave out, so I would rather you had it first.
Think about a bag you actually like
Not the one in the box — the one you have carried every day for three years. Rained on. Put down on the floor of the tube. Stuffed too full. Keys rattling around in it. It does not look like it did in the shop and it never will again. That is not neglect. That is what carrying it every day does.
Your hair has been with you far longer
The lengths on hair past your shoulders are often four, five, six years old — grown, then worn, every single day since. Rain. Sun. Hard London water. A hairband. A brush pulled through it when you are late. A towel. A pillow. A blow-dry. An iron at 200 degrees because it would not sit down otherwise. None of it dramatic, all of it adding up — and unlike skin, hair does not repair itself. What happens to it stays happened.
And you never notice you are doing it
Nobody stands at the mirror thinking that is damage. You put it up because it is windy. You go over it again because one bit will not sit down. You rub it dry because you are late. It is automatic, it is every day, and it is a couple of thousand small decisions a year that nobody counts. A treatment is the one thing on that list you actually decide to do — which is why it feels like the risky one, and why it gets all the blame.
So the honest question is not “will this damage my hair?”
Everything does. The question is what you spend, and what you get back for it.
Yes, it has a cost
I will not pretend otherwise. It changes the structure of the hair, and that is the whole reason it works.
But it is not only a cost
The cuticle gets sealed, so the hair holds moisture instead of losing it. It reflects light properly, so it looks and feels better than it did — and that is genuine, not a trick of the blow-dry. Most people's hair is in better condition after a well-chosen treatment than before it, because the thing being repaired is the damage they were already doing.
And the daily spend drops
Hair that lies down does not get gone over five times with an iron. Hair that is not fighting you does not get brushed hard when you are rushing. Hair that dries smooth does not need thirty minutes of heat every morning. For a lot of people the damage they stop doing is larger than the damage I do.
It only works if there is something to spend
That is my part of it — choosing chemistry the hair can actually afford. Some hair has already spent more than it had, and for that hair the answer is no, or not yet. You will get told which one you are.
What I promise
The three numbers, honestly
A small service that solves a disproportionate amount of the problem.
Salon time
45 minutes – 1 hour
A fringe is forty-five minutes; a hairline — front or back — is about an hour. No partial treatment includes a blow-dry, which is part of why they cost what they do.
What it does
The same as the full treatment, in one place
Identical chemistry and identical result, confined to the section that misbehaves. Frizz 80–90% gone, volume down, the pattern softened rather than removed.
How long it lasts
As the full treatment would
Which means the treated section and the untreated hair drift apart over time. That is normal and it is manageable — but you should know it happens rather than be surprised by it.
Why it works so well
The fringe frizzes first, and always has
It is the shortest hair, the most handled, the most exposed and the closest to your face — so it shows weather before anything else does. Fixing it changes how the whole head looks in the mirror, because the fringe is what you actually see.
The hairline is the other culprit
Front or back. The nape ruins a sharp cut and the front hairline undoes a blow-dry. Both are small areas doing enormous damage to the overall impression.
And it is a genuine way to try this
If you are nervous about chemistry, this is the least you can commit to. It is inexpensive, it is confined, and it tells us both exactly how your hair responds before you consider the full head.
Why a treatment, rather than just looking after it better?
A fair question, and the honest answer is not the one that flatters me.
In an ideal world you would not need me
You would come in every few weeks for a conditioning treatment, and in between you would tie it up, air-dry it and leave it alone. That works. It genuinely does.
But almost nobody in London lives that way
Most of the people who sit in my chair are one of two. Either they can afford the upkeep and have not got the two hours a month — the standing appointment is the first thing cancelled, every time, because something at work moved. Or the time is not the problem and the money is, and a couple of hundred pounds a month on something that lasts three weeks is simply not a sensible way to spend it.
Either way you end up in the same place
Hair that never gets properly looked after, and gets fought with instead. Rushed. Ironed. Pulled up. Every day.
That is the actual case for this
One appointment, and the hair looks after itself for months. Not because it is magic and not because it is free — it costs your hair something and I have been straight with you about that. But it turns the upkeep from something you have to keep finding time and money for into something you did once. For most people that is the only version that survives contact with a real life.
And if you are someone who can do the standing appointment and the careful routine — tell me. That is a legitimate answer and I will say so.
In the chair
What actually happens on the day
1 · Read and clarify
The same reading as a full treatment — pattern, frizz, damage and history — then the section is clarified so nothing is coating it.
2 · Apply and develop
Applied precisely to the agreed section. The boundary matters: too sharp and there is a visible edge, so the strength is feathered out at the join.
3 · Shape and iron
Dried in and ironed in thin sections. On a fringe this is the part that decides whether it sits — the direction is set now.
4 · Nothing is rinsed out
No neutraliser and no rinse. It leaves in the hair and carries on settling.
5 · Your first wash — at home
Forty-eight hours recommended, same day possible. Keep it loose — a fringe pinned back in those first two days can set a bend.
Note on the blow-dry
No partial treatment includes a blow-dry — not the fringe, not the hairline, not any section. It is part of why they are priced as they are. Add one on the day if you want to leave finished, or go out as you are, which most people do.
What you actually get
The bit that annoys you, fixed
Not a compromise version of the full treatment. The same result, in the place it actually matters.
£89.95A fraction of the price
Against a full head, this is a small amount of money to stop a daily irritation.
Under an hour
The shortest appointment on the menu.
A safe first step
Confined, inexpensive, and it tells us how your hair takes chemistry before anything larger.
Who it suits — and who it does not

Anyone testing the water
Nervous, previously burned somewhere else, or simply unconvinced. Start here and decide afterwards.
Not the right answer
When the whole head frizzes
If it is not really one section — and often it is not, whatever we tell ourselves — this will not satisfy you and I will say so before you book it rather than after. Any other partial (half head, top section, ends only) is charged at the full treatment price, because it is the same work.
Book a mini consultation →No surprises
Things I would rather you heard from me than found out in the chair
None of this is in anybody else's brochure. It is all true, and knowing it in advance is the difference between a surprise and a plan.
It will smell
Anything heated to 200 degrees smells — think of food. Your own mousse or styling product on there smells too. Some treatments frankly smell like wet dog for a day. I work next to an open window and it clears, but I am not going to pretend it does not happen.
Some treatments shift your colour
Not all, but some will lift or warm what is already on your hair. If that applies to yours I will tell you before we start and we plan around it. I spent years as a colourist, so this is a conversation rather than a surprise at the mirror.
It can go flat
Certain hair looks bouncy for a fortnight and then sits down. I can usually work around it — leaving the roots alone, choosing a lighter strength, changing where I place the tension. But only if I know beforehand that volume matters to you. Say it at the consultation, not afterwards.
Damage is the thing we are trying not to do
These are chemical services and they are not free. Done properly on suitable hair the trade is small and worth it. Done wrong, or on hair that has already been through too much, it is breakage — which is exactly why sometimes the answer is no.
The first two visits, we are getting to know each other
This is the most useful thing on the page, and the thing almost nobody says out loud.
The first appointment is a learning appointment
I do not know your hair yet — and I do not know you. I know the chemistry; I do not yet know how yours takes it, what the last person left in it, or the life it has to survive: your mornings, your training, your travel, how much time you will honestly give it. So I work carefully the first time, and careful means slightly under rather than slightly over. That is deliberate. I can always add more next time. I cannot take it back out.
The second visit is where it comes together
By then I have seen how your hair behaved, how long it held and what it did in week six — and you have lived with it, and can tell me what you actually thought. Now I can push further or pull back with something real to go on. If the first result is good but not quite it, that is not a failure. That is the information.
My “perfect” and your “perfect” may not be the same thing
I might look at your hair and see a result I am pleased with — even, healthy, doing exactly what the chemistry should do. You might look in the mirror and want it flatter, or curlier, or with more root left in. Neither of us is wrong. We are looking at different things.
So tell me, in your own words
Tell me what you want it to look like before we start, and tell me afterwards if it is not that. Not to complain — so I can adjust it next time. The clients whose hair I get right consistently are almost always the ones who told me what they actually wanted on visit two.
And the honest end of it: maybe I am not the right stylist for you. I am not saying I am — I am trying, and by the second visit we will both know. I would rather give you that sentence than a guarantee nobody could honestly make.
The same chemistry, in one place.
Fringe keratin · Partial smoothing · Down perm · Hairline treatment
Very few salons in London offer this at all, which is odd, because for a great many people it is the correct answer. The chemistry is identical to the full treatment — read the keratin family guide or the complete guide, both free.
Colour
When to do your colour
The single most common mistake, and the one that costs the most to undo. Colour and smoothing chemistry pull against each other — the order matters, and it is not the same order for every version of this treatment.
If we use a keratin or protein system
Colour first
Colour before the smoothing, or the same day immediately before it. Once the cuticle is sealed down, colour struggles to get in and takes unevenly.
If we use an acid or plastia system
Colour after
Acid plus heat can lift the hair one to three shades and pull warmth through a toner. We treat first, let it settle, then colour to the shade you actually end up with.
Bleach and highlights
The real conversation
Bleach is not colour — it is damage with a colour result. Tell me the bleach history before anything else, including work done years ago. It is still in there.
Which system yours needs is decided at the consultation — so the honest answer to “should I colour first?” is ask me before you book the colour, not after.
Skin test
I do not routinely do one for straightening or perming, and there is no blanket UK requirement for these services — it is the product manufacturer and the insurer that drive it, not the law. Where a specific product calls for one, I will tell you and we will do it. Hair colour is a different matter: there it is effectively mandatory.
Strand and elasticity testing
Also not routine. I read the hair at the consultation and again on the day. Where I judge it necessary, I will say so before we start — and we test before anything else happens, rather than finding out halfway through.
What actually protects the hair
Knowing what has already been done to it. Colour history, previous chemistry and how it was cared for tell me more than any test — which is why I ask for the history before I ask what you want.
Making it last
The first 48 hours
Recommended, not compulsory. Leaving the shampoo out for 48 hours gives the best result — but washing the same day is possible, and I will tell you honestly whether yours needs the wait. A soft tie is fine; what marks it is anything tight, a hard clip, or hair jammed behind your ears for hours.
What you wash it with
You do not have to give up lather. The rule is not “no sulphates ever” — it is no harsh ones. A gentle sulphate cleanser is fine; heavy strippers and salt-loaded formulas shorten the result, and washing daily shortens it further. Two or three mild washes a week is the whole of it.
Not sure about the one in your shower? Send me a photo of the ingredient list and I will tell you whether to keep it — whether you booked with me or not.
London water
Thames Water classifies its entire supply as hard. Peer-reviewed work shows chemically treated hair binds considerably more mineral than untreated hair, because processing creates the sites minerals attach to — and that build-up stiffens the fibre and costs you the finish. A periodic chelating wash addresses it.
The terms, plainly
The same glossary appears on every treatment page here, so the language means the same thing wherever you read it — with what each term means for this particular treatment underneath.
pH
The acid-to-alkaline scale. Hair sits at about 4.5–5.5, slightly acidic. Alkaline products swell and open the cuticle so chemistry can get in — more change, more cost to the hair. Acid products close and smooth it — gentler, shinier, less penetration.
On Fringe & Partial: the same acid-side chemistry as the full treatment. Nothing is weakened because the area is small.
Disulfide bonds
The strong, permanent sulphur-to-sulphur links. They give hair both its strength and its bounce. Hydrogen bonds, by contrast, are weak and temporary — broken by water and heat, which is why a blow-dry drops in the rain.
On Fringe & Partial: as the full treatment — a proportion loosened and heat-set, confined to the section treated.
Porosity
How easily hair absorbs and holds water and chemicals. High porosity means a raised, damaged cuticle: it soaks product up fast and processes quickly and unevenly. Low porosity is resistant and needs more time.
On Fringe & Partial: read on the section itself. A fringe is the most handled and most heat-damaged hair on most heads, so it is frequently more porous than the rest.
Bounce (elasticity)
The ability to stretch and spring back, governed almost entirely by disulfide bond health. You can impose a shape on almost any hair. You cannot impose bounce — it has to be earned from healthy bonds.
On Fringe & Partial: reduced in the treated section only. The rest of your hair is untouched.
Reduction and neutralisation
The two-step chemistry of any perm or relaxer. Reduction breaks the bonds so the hair can be reshaped; neutralisation reforms them in the new shape and locks it in.
On Fringe & Partial:not how this works — heat forms the links, no neutraliser, nothing rinsed.
Processing time
Timed to the hair, not to a clock on the wall. Porosity, texture and history all change how fast a treatment develops.
On Fringe & Partial: forty-five minutes for a fringe, about an hour for a hairline.

Will you be able to see where it stops?
Not if it is done properly. The strength is feathered at the boundary rather than stopped dead, so it blends into the untreated hair.
What counts as a fringe versus a hairline?
A fringe is the fringe. A hairline is the front or the nape — a band around the edge. Anything larger than that is priced as a full treatment, because it is the same amount of work.
Can I have just the top section, or just the ends?
You can, but it is charged at the full treatment price. Only the fringe and hairline are genuinely quicker.
Does it include a blow-dry?
No — no partial treatment does. That applies to the fringe, the hairline and any other section, and it is reflected in the price. Add one on the day if you would like to leave finished.
Can I upgrade to the full head later?
Yes, and plenty of people do exactly that. Nothing about this stops you.
How often will I need it?
As often as the full treatment would need doing — but for a fraction of the cost, which is why it suits people who want to stay on top of it.
Is it safe if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
That is not my decision to make for you. I will give you the full ingredient list for the exact product I would use so you can decide with your midwife, GP or pharmacist.
