Had a cut from Carla. I was very happy with the cut and with the whole thing as Carla really listened to what I had to say as well as offering sound advice - will definitely return.

The Best Haircut for You

What To Expect from Your Consultation at Shine

Your stylist will talk you through:

• Your face framing preferences (soft, strong, minimal, bold)
• Your hair’s natural movement and texture
• How much time you realistically spend styling
• Your maintenance comfort level (regular trims vs low upkeep)
• What you love and what you want to change

Bring photos if you can. They help us get specific about the vibe, not just the length.
 

Short Haircuts & Hairstyles

Pixie Cuts, Bobs & More

Short hair can look sharp, effortless, and incredibly wearable when the shape is right. Popular short options at Shine include:

• Crops and pixie shapes with soft texture
• Classic bobs, blunt or broken up
• French bobs and jaw length shapes
• Short layers for volume and movement

Maintenance tip: short cuts usually need more frequent tidy ups to keep the silhouette clean. Your stylist will recommend a schedule based on your cut and how fast your hair grows.

Medium Length

Medium Length Hairstyles

Lobs, Layers & Lots of Choice

Medium-length hair is one of the most adaptable: easy to wear down, quick to style, and great for movement. If you want a noticeable change without losing length, ask about:

• Face framing and curtain fringe options
• Long layers for softness and shape
• Weight removal for thick hair
• Blunt finishes for a fuller look

We'll finish your cut with a style that matches how you actually wear your hair, whether that’s sleek, natural texture, or a bouncy blow-dry.

Long Hairstyles

Healthy Condition is Key!

Long hair looks its best when the ends are healthy and the shape supports your natural texture. A good long haircut is not just “a trim”, it’s how the length sits, moves, and grows out. At Shine, we focus on:

• Keeping length while improving shape
• Reducing split ends and breakage
• Adding movement without thinning the ends
• Making your home routine simpler

If your ends feel dry, your stylist can recommend treatments and care that fit your hair type and lifestyle.

Up-Do Hairstyles

Special Occasion Hair

Up-dos and occasion styles should feel secure, comfortable, and like you. We create styles for everything from polished and minimal to soft, textured and romantic. For the best result:

• Book early for peak dates
• Bring any accessories (pins, clips, veils) to your appointment
• If you’re planning wedding hair, ask about a trial so we can refine the look in advance
