An Experience Worth Sharing
Allan's colour work is on another level. He took time to explain everything and the result was flawless — natural, glossy, and exactly the tone I wanted for my wedding.
Best cut I've had in years. They really listen and understand what works for your hair. Hivetree is such a cool space — professional without being intimidating.
I came in with damaged hair and left feeling like a new person. The team are true artists — creative, skilled, and so lovely. Already booked my next appointment.
From the moment you walk in, you know you're in good hands. The attention to detail on my balayage was incredible — friends haven't stopped asking where I got it done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about appointments, colour, and consultations at King's Chair.
How long does a hair appointment take?
The time required depends on the service you are having. A cut and finish may take around an hour, while colour services such as balayage, highlights, or full colour can take several hours. During your consultation, your stylist will give you an estimated appointment time.
Do I need a patch test before a colour appointment?
Yes, a patch test may be required before certain colour services. This helps ensure your skin is suitable for the products being used and should be completed before your appointment where required.
What hair products do you use?
We use professional salon-quality products chosen to deliver the best results while keeping your hair healthy. Your stylist can recommend the right products for your hair type and help you maintain your style at home.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Arrive with your hair as you normally wear it so your stylist can understand your routine and preferences. If you have inspiration photos, feel free to bring them along so we can discuss your desired look.
Do you offer consultations?
Yes, consultations are available for clients who are considering a colour change, a new style, extensions, or any service where you would like professional advice before booking.
Can I bring inspiration photos?
Absolutely. Inspiration photos are a great way to help communicate your desired style. Your stylist will discuss what is achievable based on your hair type, condition, and lifestyle.
How often should I have my colour refreshed?
The time between colour appointments varies depending on the service. Root colours may need refreshing every few weeks, while balayage and blended colours can often last longer with the right aftercare.
