Castle V
The owner plans each job here, and her team does much of the hands-on work. She travels to China and Korea to train, which makes her hard to get at short notice. Most of the work is colour, perms, straightening and extensions, and men come in for cuts.
Come here if
- Your hair is too damaged for the perm you want
- You want extensions that pass for your own hair
Maybe not if
- Having to ask for a quote puts you off

What people say
How much selling to expect
A perm or a colour here usually passes with no talk of packages or take-home products.
Extensions are different: a few were pitched a dearer grade of hair as better quality, and paid the extra.
Only what you need
Ask for a perm or straightening on bleached ends and the stylist may tell you it would only make the damage worse.
They'll suggest repairing it first, or curled extensions if you want waves your own hair can no longer hold.
How natural it looks
The extensions blend in closely enough that friends have taken a curled set for a perm.
A fringe straightened at the root sits neatly and keeps a little lift.
Hair that needs fixing
Hair that a bleach or perm has dried out softens after their repair.
They split a full-head bleach into gentler rounds, and hair that's bleached often still comes out soft.
How close it comes to what you asked for
Colours and cuts often come out just as described.
A few perms have looked unlike the salon's own photo the client picked, and a fringe has come out much shorter than wanted.
Regulars who stayed
Extension clients come back for years to top up and recolour, and for many it's the only place they have ever had them done.
The owner's longest-standing colour clients have been with her for well over a decade.

Common questions
The things people ask before booking
Q Can I book the owner herself?
Ask for Chris by name, and message well before the date you want: she's often booked up, and at times away training.
Q How much do hair extensions cost?
Send a WhatsApp for a quote. The hair comes in more than one grade at different prices, and the quote should name the one you're getting.
Q Can they fix hair damaged by bleach or a bad perm?
They check your hair first, and may put a repair or anti-frizz treatment ahead of any perm or straightening.
