Useful info
Every price includes a free 10 minute consultation.
Prices vary by stylist. These are the lowest published for each service.
Colour is booked with a blow dry or a cut and finish. New colour clients book a consultation first.
Do I need a skin allergy test?
If you are a new client and are having your first colour treatment with us, we will require you to have a skin allergy test at least 48 hours prior to your colour service. We can carry out this quick test at your complimentary consultation.
Existing clients will also need a quick allergy test if it has been 3 months since your last colour treatment with us.
Unfortunately we will not be able to carry out any colour service without a skin test.
Is there anything to do before a colour appointment?
If you are having a colour service with us please could you ensure that your hair is free from residue before you attend your appointment.
Residue can form from many products, for example a hair mask, conditioner, root touch up spray or an oil treatment.
Residual products can act as a barrier to the colour and may affect your treatment, and we may not be able to provide your colour service.

All the staff at Escape are friendly, welcoming and professional. Jo always does a fantastic cut for my short style. I go every six weeks and have done for many years. Highly recommend Escape.

I had Izzy do my hair today and she did a fantastic job. She is the only hairdresser I trust and she does a fabulous job at colouring, cutting, blow drying and styling plus more. Salon gorgeous, it’s always neat and tidy, they use high end products and really take their time with their clients. Could not recommend this salon enough.

New to the area, this was my first appointment at this salon. What a lovely place. Izzy and Jo couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. They listened to my indecisive ramblings and helped me decide on a colour. The result was amazing, I love it, thank you.
