Autumn diary Colour appointments for October and November are open now — richer tones, fewer maintenance visits.
A small studio for grown-out colour and shapes that last
Bright Grove is a four-chair salon. Every appointment starts dry, in daylight, with a proper conversation about how you actually wear your hair — then we cut and colour for that, not for the mirror.
9:30am – 7pm, last colour 4:30pm
9am – 5pm, cuts and finishes only
Closed, enquiries answered Tuesday
Tuesday mornings, one client in the room
Colour guide
Most people book the biggest service on the list when a smaller one would do. Read across these three before you choose — the upkeep column matters more than the price.
Your colour is fine but flat, brassy after summer, or the ends look dull against the roots.
You want to look lighter in photographs without committing to a full head of maintenance.
You are after a real shift in depth through the mid-lengths and ends, held over a year.
First visit
Nothing about a first appointment should be a surprise, so here is the whole sequence — including the one thing you need to do before you arrive.
Any colour service needs a skin test at least two days before, even a gloss. Pop in during opening hours — it takes two minutes and there is no charge.
We look at your hair as you wear it, unwashed is genuinely more useful, and agree the service and the final price before anything starts.
Colour is applied at the station, processed, then washed and cut. You will be offered a treatment only if the hair needs one.
We finish the way you would at home, at your speed, and write down which products matter and which you can skip.
Stylists
Three of us take bookings. If you are not sure who to ask for, describe your hair in the enquiry and we will put you with whoever suits it best.
Owner & colourist
Opened Bright Grove after a decade doing colour correction, which is why the book has so much room for consultations.
Senior stylist
Cuts almost everything dry first. Ask for Tam if your hair has a strong cowlick or grows in three directions at once.
Stylist, curl specialist
Works curl by curl and finishes without a brush. Happy to talk through a wash routine that takes under ten minutes.

Good to know
Request an appointment
Send this and we will reply with two or three times that fit, plus the patch-test window if your service needs one. It is a request, not a confirmed booking.
Your current length, when you were last coloured and roughly what you did at home if it was a box colour. It changes what we can safely do in one sitting.
Enquiries are answered Tuesday to Saturday while the salon is open. Anything sent on Sunday or Monday is picked up first thing Tuesday.
If the week you want is full, say so in the notes and we will hold you for cancellations — those often come up two or three days ahead.
