When clients admire a beautiful colour transformation, a precision haircut or a head of perfectly balanced curls, they often see only the finished result. What they don’t see is the most important part of the appointment—the consultation.
At Dale James & Co Hair Salon, we believe every exceptional hairstyle begins with understanding the person sitting in our chair. Before we mix a colour, pick up our scissors or select a perm rod, we take the time to listen.
It’s More Than “What Are We Doing Today?”
A professional consultation is about discovering what will work best for you—not simply recreating a photo from social media.
We consider:
• Your face shape
• Your hair type and texture
• Your lifestyle
• How much time you like to spend styling your hair
• Your previous colour or chemical services
• Your long-term hair goals
• The overall health of your hair
By understanding all of these factors, we can recommend a style that not only looks beautiful on the day you leave the salon but continues to work for you every day afterwards.
Experience Makes the Difference
With over 50 years of experience, Dale James understands that every head of hair is unique.
Sometimes the hairstyle you’ve fallen in love with online may need slight adjustments to suit your face shape or hair texture.
During your consultation, we’ll explain why and offer professional recommendations that will give you the best possible result.
Our senior stylists also bring years of expertise to every consultation, ensuring each recommendation is tailored specifically to you.
Planning for Healthy Hair
Great hair isn’t just about today—it’s about protecting the condition of your hair for the future.
Whether you’re considering becoming blonde, adding hair extensions, smoothing unruly hair or having a modern perm, we’ll always recommend the safest and most effective approach.
Sometimes this means achieving your dream hair in one visit. Other times, we’ll create a personalised plan over several appointments to maintain the health and integrity of your hair.
Education Never Stops
One of the things that sets Dale James & Co apart is our commitment to ongoing education.
Through advanced training, international education opportunities and our long-standing membership with Intercoiffure, our team continually refines their skills to ensure our clients receive the latest techniques backed by years of experience.
Your Hair, Your Style, Your Confidence
Our goal is simple—to help you leave the salon feeling confident, beautiful and completely looked after.
A thorough consultation allows us to understand not only your hair but also your expectations, so we can deliver results you’ll love.
If you’re thinking about a new colour, haircut, hair extensions, smoothing treatment or modern perm, we’d love to welcome you into the salon and create a personalised plan that’s perfect for you.
