A Cut Above...

The Color & Therapy Lounge offers an unrivaled level of customer service, combined with a vastly experienced team, specialising in Hair, Beauty, PMU, Aesthetics and Training.

Gail and Lois Alston collaboratively opened the salon in 2008 and it has gone on to become one of the most revered salons in the North West.

Gail - our creative director with over 20 years experience in the industry - trained with Pierre Alexandre in Manchester for six years and has brought up-to-date techniques along with creativity to the Color & Therapy Lounge and now specialises in Hollywood Colour Blend (TM).

All our stylists can cater to all hair types, tones and textures, and our salon is known for its specialism in colour and, in particular, beautiful balayage work. We also specialise in hair extensions, using the finest, ethically sourced hair that looks shiny and full, without ever damaging your own natural hair.

Our expert team offer a range beauty treatments including make-up, waxing, lashes, nail enhancements, spray tans and much more.
