Skin & Silk is a ladies-only hair salon on Whitton Road in Hounslow. Our hairstylists offer haircuts, blow-dries, hair colouring, highlights, balayage, perms and keratin treatments in a private, comfortable space for women.

Whether you want a fresh cut, a new colour or help with hair that is hard to manage, we start by listening. We look at your hair, ask how you like to wear it and agree a plan with you before we begin. We work with all hair types, lengths and textures.

What we offer

Our hair services

Seven treatments, one ladies-only salon — every one starts with a conversation about your hair.

Haircuts and restyling

A good haircut should suit your hair, your face and your lifestyle. On short, medium and long hair, our hairdressers can trim your ends, add layers for movement, take off length or give you a completely new look.

We begin with a short consultation. We consider your hair type, how it falls and how much time you want to spend styling it. If you are not sure what you want, tell us how you usually wear your hair and we will suggest options for you to choose from. We can't promise an exact result, because it depends on your hair type and growth, but we will always be honest about what is possible.

Blow-dries and blowouts

A blow-dry gives you a smooth, sleek, wavy or voluminous finish. Clients book one before weddings, parties, nights out and important meetings — or simply when they want a good hair day. Tell us the style you prefer, and bring a photo if you have one.

How long a blow-dry lasts depends on your hair, the weather and what you do afterwards. Your stylist will tell you how to make it last.

Hair colour and root touch-ups

We offer full colour, colour refreshes, grey coverage and root touch-ups. A full colour gives you a new shade all over. A refresh brings life back to colour that has faded. Root touch-ups keep your colour even as new hair grows through, and they are quicker than a full colour.

Before we colour, we ask about your hair history, including any colour done at home or in another salon, and we check the condition of your hair. This helps us choose a suitable shade and plan the right steps. Your natural colour and past colouring affect the result, so we will talk through what is realistic.

Highlights

Highlights add lighter strands through your hair for brightness, movement and dimension. They can be fine and subtle for a natural lift, or bolder and more noticeable. Your stylist will talk through how light you want to go, what your natural colour allows and how much upkeep you are happy with. Lighter results usually need more regular maintenance.

Balayage

Balayage is a colouring technique in which the colour is painted on by hand. It gives a soft, blended look, often with a gradual fade from darker roots to lighter ends. Because there is no hard line at the root, balayage grows out more gradually than traditional highlights.

Many clients need fewer colour appointments with balayage, although this depends on how light you go and how fast your hair grows. Results also vary from person to person, depending on natural colour, hair history and condition. If you have a photo of the look you like, bring it with you; if not, we will tell you what can be achieved with your hair and how to care for the colour.

Perms

A perm adds curl, wave or volume to hair that is flat or straight. We discuss the kind of curl you would like, whether loose or tighter, and check that your hair is healthy enough. Tell us about any colouring, smoothing or other chemical treatments you have had, as these can make a perm unsuitable. We will also share tips on looking after your curls at home.

Keratin hair treatments

Keratin is a smoothing treatment that can reduce frizz, add shine and make hair easier to manage. It can work well if your hair frizzes in wet weather or takes a long time to dry. It does not straighten hair permanently, and your stylist will check that it suits your hair and any treatments you have had before.

How long the results last depends on your hair type, how often you wash it and the products you use. Your stylist will tell you what to expect and give you aftercare advice, including when and how to wash your hair and which products to use.

Before any colour

Hair colour consultations and patch testing

Every colour appointment starts with a conversation. We ask about the colour you have now, any colour done at home or in another salon, past treatments such as keratin or perms, and the condition of your hair. This helps us choose a suitable shade and avoid surprises.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can't see your question? Call or message us — we're happy to help.

020 7062 7801WhatsApp 07347 457984

Do I need to book, or can I walk in?

Walk-ins are welcome when there is space. Colour, balayage, perms and keratin take longer, so please book these in advance.

Do I need a patch test before colouring?

If you have sensitive skin or have reacted to hair colour before, please tell us when you book so we can give you the best advice. See our colour consultations and patch testing section above.

How often do I need a root touch-up?

Many people come back every 4–6 weeks. It depends on how fast your hair grows and how different your natural colour is from your dyed colour.

How often does balayage need a touch-up?

Many clients come back less often than with other colour styles, because balayage grows out softly. It depends on how light you go, how fast your hair grows and the look you want to keep. Your stylist can give you a plan.

Which treatment is best for my hair?

Tell us what you want to improve. Your stylist considers the type, condition and history of your hair, advises you on the right options, and will tell you if something isn't suitable for your hair on the day.

How do I look after my hair after keratin?

Your stylist will give you detailed aftercare instructions, such as when you can wash your hair and which products to use. The treatment lasts longer if you follow them.

Can I book more than one service in the same visit?

Yes. Many clients have their hair, nails and brows done, or even a facial, in one visit. Just let us know when you book so we can plan enough time for you.

Is there parking?

There is free street parking around the salon.
