Who It's For
Perfect for busy diaries, dinners out and occasions when you want reliable, polished hair without fuss. Works for all hair types, from fine hair needing lift to thick or curly hair needing control and shine.
Also suited to colour-treated or greying hair that benefits from extra gloss and smoothness. If you wear extensions, techniques are tailored to protect bonds for a seamless finish.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Most appointments take around 30–45 minutes, depending on hair length and density. Very long or thick hair may require a little longer.
If you would like defined waves or an ultra sleek finish, mention this when booking so we can allow time for extra refinement.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Keep your blowdry lasting by avoiding heavy oils and unnecessary brushing. Sleep on a silk pillowcase or loosely tie hair to reduce friction, then revive with cool air and a light mist of anti-humidity spray or dry shampoo at the roots.
Minimise steam and moisture on day one. For ongoing polish, schedule regular blowdries, or book the day before an event for maximum hold.

Where to begin. I've been coming to Nicolas Ablitt for several years now. They are fantastic! Every single member of the team are amazing. I can honestly say hand on heart that I have never left disappointed. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with happy smiles and friendly faces. Even if there are 10 other clients in there, each person is made to feel like they are the star of the show. They make you a fabulous tea or coffee while you're there. You can even have more than one. And with a yummy biscuit too! Having your hair washed? Get ready to feel super relaxed. No jabbing or yanking here. You want a super sleek, sexy, sultry look? You got it. You want edgy, punky hair? absolutely! You want it all shaved off? Why not. You only live once and it will grow back. The list of hair services isn't limited to a bob or short back sides. I go in looking like cousin it and I always leave with a smile on my face and beautiful hair. I 100% recommend nick and all the girls to any who will listen. Thank Nick, Lauren (my stylist) and all the team.

Brooke cut and coloured my hair, I couldn’t be happier. She got my blonde exactly where I wanted it to be. I had a lovely experience at Nicolas Ablitt & will be back. The hair wash was unreal too.

After using box dyes for so many years my hair had so many different bands of colours in it that I knew it was time to go to a good hairdressers. So glad I chose Nicholas Ablitt. Staff are so welcoming & friendly to everyone who walks through the door. We chatted how to deal with my hair when i first stepped in many years ago. I always get a professional finish and cut & dried how I like it. Been more than 5 years now since I first went which says something in itself. Always a pleasure to go there have a cuppa & a chat while your hair is being styled. Prices are also very competitive. Thanks guys 💕
