Services
Haircuts
Customized haircuts at Fish Hair Salon begin with detailed consultations to understand styling needs and hair goals. Our certified stylists provide scalp massages, customized shampooing, and precision cutting techniques tailored to individual hair types and textures. The service includes professional blow-drying with options for advanced styling like flat iron curls or round brush techniques, ensuring clients receive both functional and fashionable results that match their lifestyle.
Hair Colour
As a Goldwell Certified Salon, we offer comprehensive color solutions including full spectrum coloring, corrective treatments, and specialty techniques like balayage. Our color specialists conduct pre-service consultations to determine optimal approaches for desired outcomes, whether creating natural highlights, vibrant fashion colors, or corrective repairs. The service includes professional application techniques and post-color care recommendations to maintain vibrancy and hair health.
Deep Treatments
Our Deep Nourishing Hair Treatment utilizes advanced formulations with white tea, baobab, and jasmine extracts to restore damaged hair. This 15-minute add-on service works to rebuild hair fibers, improve elasticity, and restore natural softness through bio-restorative complexes. Ideal for hair affected by chemical treatments or heat styling, the treatment leaves hair stronger and more resilient while maintaining natural shine and body.
Wedding Styling
Specialized wedding and event styling services include full hair design consultations and trial sessions. Our stylists create long-lasting updos, intricate braids, and elegant half-up styles using professional-grade products. The service includes pre-event preparation guidance and on-site styling options, ensuring hair remains perfect throughout celebrations while complementing bridal aesthetics and personal style preferences.
Balayage
Our balayage specialists create natural-looking dimension through hand-painted lightening techniques. This service focuses on customized color placement that complements facial features and lifestyle needs. Available in both subtle highlights and dramatic transformations, the process includes personalized maintenance plans and at-home care recommendations using professional products to preserve color vibrancy between salon visits.
