Hair, considered.

Experience
As a certified Wella Professionals hair consultant and K18 specialist, Chris has built his reputation on technical skill and results that last longer than the appointment. He’s earned industry accolades along the way, and an invitation to join the Cheynes Colour Collective - a nod to both craft and creative judgement.
Clients come for colour, balayage, cutting, and a stylist who actually listens. They stay because the work holds up six weeks later.
Ethos
Chris’s approach is simple: hair that makes you feel like yourself, done in a space that doesn’t drain you. The studio is deliberately small - one chair, a calm interior, and the North Laine doing its thing outside the window.
It’s a different kind of appointment: quiet. More considered. Built for people who want to be heard, not hurried through a booking sheet. Gender-neutral pricing, an inclusive vibe, and a safe space that suits anyone who’d rather skip the salon circus.
Goal
The aim hasn’t changed since the studio opened on Trafalgar Street in 2017: deliver high-end colour and cutting without the high-street price tag or the performance. Chris works one-to-one, books by app or WhatsApp, and keeps the focus where it belongs — on your hair, not the hustle around it.
Book in when you’re ready. The chair’s waiting.
