Beautiful Hair Without the Daily Effort

Low Maintenance Hair

We know that days are full and ‘me-time' can feel like a luxury. The idea of low maintenance hair has never been more appealing. But what does low maintenance really mean? Does it mean giving up on style or skipping colour altogether? Absolutely not.

At The Chapel, we stand by the fact that low maintenance isn't about doing less, it's about doing what's right for you. It's about finding a style that works with your natural texture, your lifestyle and, most importantly, how you want to feel every day.

Whether you're craving a cut that falls into place with little effort, colour that grows out gracefully or a styling routine that is efficient - but not boring! - our team of expert stylists is here to guide you.

We start every Appointment with a conversation, not a menu. We know that you're not a 'cut' or a 'balayage and blowdry', you're a person with your own needs and style.

And when it comes to low maintenance hair, that individual approach matters more than ever.

At The Chapel, we work seasonally with your hair, planning a bespoke journey across the months so your look evolves without constant upkeep.

Our stylists factor in your natural hair cycles, how it behaves through the changing seasons, and how much time you want to spend maintaining it. For example, the trend for lived-in colour is huge this summer. By working with your natural tones and placing colour with precision, the results last beautifully - often well into the next season. The light also changes from summer to winter (think blue light vs grey light), so we'll adapt your colour plan accordingly - maybe your blonde shifts warmer come winter.

From a soft balayage in spring to a structured cut in summer, our seasonal approach helps you feel effortlessly fresh throughout the year.

Some of our Guests only visit us three times a year. Because our appointments are booked by time, not by service, you're paying for what you really need - nothing more. The results? They last longer and feel more you.

Before any scissors come out or any colour is mixed, we sit down with you. Every appointment starts with a relaxed conversation, side-by-side on the sofa with a tea, coffee or wine in hand. This is your time to share what you're dreaming of, including style ideas, insecurities, challenges, your budget or time constraints.

Before you come in for a Colour Appointment, we'll welcome you in for a 30-minute complimentary Colour Conversation, so you can meet your Stylist and talk through your vision. We'll plan the time you need for your Appointment, do a skin test, and, if you're ready, we'll book you in.

There's no pressure to commit to anything. You're welcome to simply explore your options. Whether you're dreaming of a big change, want something simpler, or don't quite know yet, we'll guide you with honesty and expertise.

That's exactly what our hourly model is perfect for. You don't need to book a fixed service or decide in advance whether you want a full colour or a quick refresh. You simply book time - and we use it in the way that's best for you.

Whether you want a cut, a treatment, colour advice, or just a space to try something new, we'll shape your visit to suit you. Some guests even use their time just to talk through possibilities before making any big changes.

But, we'll always agree with you the time (and therefore cost) of the Appointment before we start.

If you're feeling unsure, the best first step is to book a conversation. We'll help you work it all out - without any pressure.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Your hair is as unique as you are - and so is your lifestyle.

That's why we tailor each cut and colour to your natural texture and your day-to-day life. Got thick, curly, coily or fine hair? Want to wear it in a top knot for yoga or need it to feel ‘done' with little effort? Tell us. We'll make sure every millimetre of your cut works for your lifestyle.

The lived-in cut is a perfect example. It falls into place with minimal styling, and looks effortlessly chic. Sharing inspiration images with your stylist can help spark ideas, and together we'll create something that reflects your face shape, texture, routine and mood.

Low maintenance hair starts with honesty. If you typically spend 10 minutes on your hair in the morning, be proud and tell us. We'll craft a cut that works with your schedule, not against it.

For some, that means embracing natural waves or curls. For others, it might mean working with straight strands to find effortless polish. If a sleek bob needs blow-drying every day to look its best, we'll let you know and suggest softer alternatives if that's more your pace.

We'll also give you honest advice and easy tips so you leave knowing exactly how to manage your hair at home.

Hair grows on average about &hal an inch a month, so not everyone needs a six-to-eight-week appointment cycle - unless you've got a really sharp, short crop. We build your hair journey around your real life - some Guests come just three times a year, and still receive compliments on their way to the salon.

Low maintenance colour starts with simple, straightforward planning. How often do you want to come in? How does your hair respond to colour? We'll talk through all of it.

We love working with lived-in colour - it blends beautifully with your natural tone and grows out with subtlety. Grey blending is another brilliant option, especially if you're embracing your greys. It's about enhancing what's there, gently. We'll look at your colour history and talk through what's next.

We'll also help you care for your colour between visits. Weekly colour-conditioning masks work wonders - they deeply hydrate, boost shine, and create a barrier to protect against fading and environmental stress. Our stylists will guide you on exactly what your hair needs, without overloading you with products.

Many of our guests prefer a slower transition. Maybe that means lightening your colour bit by bit, growing out a fringe gradually, or going shorter in stages to build confidence.

There's no rush. We're here to support you every step of the way, even if your journey takes time.

Hair can sometimes be part of a much bigger story. If you're experiencing hair stress, heat or colour damage, we'll gently guide you on how to repair it. And if you're preparing for something more significant, like chemotherapy or cold cap treatment, we have trained team members who can offer support.

Low maintenance hair isn't about doing nothing, it's about making the right choices for your life. Whether you visit us a few times a year or once a season, you can trust that each visit will be thoughtfully planned around what you need now, not what's on a menu.

Our stylists don't work to a script, just the very highest technical expertise and care. They work with your hair, your ideas and your vision.

If you're ready for hair that works with you - every season, every morning and every mood - we'd love to meet you.

Let's start with a conversation. Your first visit includes up to 30 minutes of complimentary time so you and your stylist can get to know each other properly. Over a cup of tea, we'll explore your style goals, your routine and what your hair truly needs.

Because when your hair supports your life, everything else gets just a little easier.

Book your conversation today - we can't wait to meet you.
