My Full Head “Lived-In Colour” Transformation service is often the beginning of your hair journey with me and will leave you with a multi-dimensional finish and a colour that will give you longevity.
Lived in colour is a combination of lightening and low lighting techniques complimented by seamless colour blends that give you an effortless lived-in look with a softer root, whilst enhancing soft pops of colour through your face frame, lightness through the ends and ribbons of depth and tone.
I will use a mixture of techniques to create a luxurious looking, seamless lived-in colour that will allow for you to go for longer periods of time between your colour sessions, along with complimenting your skin tone, eye colour and your individual style.

You have not had your hair coloured by me before.

You want more longevity with your hair and more breaks between colours with a more natural-looking root.
Taking care of the condition of your hair is important to you.

Traditional Highlighting
Highlighting is used to lift the colour of the hair to create an overall lighter look as opposed to my lived-in colour services. Highlighting is visible from the root of the hair and will be created using foil to achieve a clean and even lift. All results will vary depending on your existing hair colour.
Highlights
Book your consult call
This full head technique is used to create soft and delicate lights throughout your hair to create a beautiful, natural blonde finish.
Highlighting gets you lighter than my “lived-in” looks and the lighter pieces come directly from the root. There are so many toning options we can use to customise your highlights depending on whether you are attracted to warmer or cooler shades and what suits your complexion best.
This is for you if...
You have previously highlighted hair and want a more natural-looking highlighted look.
You’re new to colour and want to lighten up overall.
You want to move away from lived-in colour and want to see more lightness from the root.
You want to achieve soft and natural-looking lights throughout the hair.

You usually won’t need a full head of highlights every time. Depending on your hair length and how you wear it you can do halves in between your full head appointments.
It’s important that we keep it balanced. We’ll take a look at every section of your hair to determine which areas to work on. I’ll chat with you in-depth during the consultation to help guide you in making the right decision, for you.
This is for you if...
You’re looking for a refresh appointment in between your full head service.
You have already had your hair coloured with me before.
what's included?
+ Half head baby lights
+ Bespoke toner

You’re looking for ultimate lightness.
You want to move from scalp bleach to highlights.
There is a need for colour correction work to be done.

Full head back to back highlighting
“This is an absolute transformation and I really enjoy this work so much. Yes, it takes time and it is not the cheapest option. However, it takes a lot of patience, skill and real trust in the process, and in my experience can take a few times to get exactly where you want it to be. I can help guide you from start to finish with your colour journey as big transformations are my thing.” Jess
This is a premium service and I charge £100 per hour and will include all colouring services, treatment services and cutting and styling.
This can not be done without a consultation.

Client love
"Jess is the most fantastic hairdresser. The reason being is, she doesn’t get complacent and really assesses your hair and input on every visit you make to the salon, and that might even just be you dropping in to say hi. Her attention to detail is outstanding and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I love my time with Jess, she’s not only an amazing hairdresser she’s an amazing young woman who I am fortunate now to also call her a dear friend."

Had the most amazing hair experience with the fabulous Jessica at Stripe . Her understanding of what I was trying to achieve was on point and she turned my frumpy, mousy bob into a trendy, creamy, sexy, mess of gorgeousness. The salon itself was such a ncie space and so relaxing and the other girls who worked there, just this day is the best playlist, I have ever heard. I’m so fussy as a salon owner myself and my standards are high, but this experience was amazing in every way! Big love, can’t wait for my next appointment x

Jess is amazing - from walking into leaving, she creates a relaxed environment. She doesn’t mind if you have a lot to talk about or just want to sit in a zen-like state as she works her magic.
She knows your hair type and what will suit you from the outset and will always use this to give you the style you want but also work. Plus if you’re like me, you’ll love seeing Jess just for the incredibly relaxing hair wash, which is essentially a therapeutic scalp massage - bliss.

Client love
Jess has transformed my hair I am now much more confidence and in love with my hair again, there is less maintenance with a colour that suits me and compliments me. My hair has never been in such good condition, enabling me to keep it long and in good shape. Jess is a creative genius and a fantastic hair /colour stylist, I would highly recommend her without hesitation.

Got a question?
My hair sessions involve having a nice relaxing time in a beautiful space whilst having your hair taken care of by an experienced colour specialist. I take so much pride in what I do and my aim is for you to have a special hair experience that brings some joy into your world for a short space of time.
I have worked with lots of women who have struggled to be able to voice what they really want during their hair consultation and it feels important for me to offer a space for this to come with more ease. I absolutely love spending time with my guests and I will do my very best to look after you throughout your time with me in the salon space.
Lived-in colour is a mixture of colouring techniques used with the aim to give you the look of effortlessly undone hair that will allow for longevity in between your appointments. You will find that it offers you a more natural-looking root area with soft pops of colour with multi-dimensional tones throughout and brighter looking ends.
Highlighted looks are different because the lighter pieces come directly from your roots in comparison to the lived-in looks and you may find that you need to come in much sooner for your hair appointment if you wish to keep your colour looking fresh. Both looks will be tailored to suit your individual needs and preferences.
All clients will need a skin test prior to their appointment 48 hours beforehand to ensure that it is safe to go ahead with your colour session. This will be done in the salon and will take a few minutes to do.
Yes, you can wash your hair if you wish to, however, I don’t think it makes too much difference and is not necessary unless you have lots of product in your hair and are having a colour session. If you do have a lot of product in your hair it may be a good idea to wash it due to it acting as a barrier between the colour and your hair.
I would also kindly ask that your hair be brushed through, especially if it hasn't been brushed for a few days. I find that if your hair is very knotted it can end up taking quite a while trying to remove them before we start your hair service.
We use a range of products in the salon that we love for styling that includes Davines, L’oreal and Redken, to name a few. We use Davines shampoos and conditioners, and we use treatments such as K18, Innoluxe, and metal detox. I will always use L’oreal and Redken colouring products for our colour sessions.
There will always be a phone consultation beforehand which you can book through the website or you can email or message me (I will usually see a message before I see an email) and I will arrange for this to take place. I will then organise your hair appointment from there.
Yes of course you can reschedule your appointment. However, I kindly ask that you give me as much notice as you can. I know that life can take some unexpected turns, however, I respectfully ask that anyone unable to make their appointment give me more than 48 hours notice so that I can open up the appointment to others. If you cancel your hair appointment within this time frame then there will be a loss of your deposit. Outside of this time frame, you can move your hair to a different day/time using the same deposit.
Deposits will be taken for all hair appointments and will depend on the length of your appointment. This will be discussed in your consultation beforehand.
Please let me know if you are running late. Send me a message or give me a call so that I am aware.
There is a free car park across the road from the studio. You can park there for as long as you wish and there is no charge. There are also other car parks around Handforth if you are struggling to find a space in that one. Again, message or call me if you are struggling to find a space and I can try and help direct you.
