The Hair Advice Centre

The Hair Advice Centre occupies a convenient position at 13 Elm Grove on Hayling Island, Hampshire. The salon follows the 365 Day Hairdressing Concept, a structured training system that equips stylists with advanced skills and enables them to share practical knowledge for everyday hair management.

Each appointment begins with a thorough consultation. Stylists assess hair type, texture, face shape, and personal routine to address specific concerns and aspirations. This methodical process ensures recommendations align closely with individual needs, from styling techniques to home maintenance strategies.

Cutting and styling services focus on designer cuts that complement natural features and daily habits. The team provides guidance on achieving consistent results between visits, supported by tools and products selected for effectiveness.

Colour services range from subtle grey coverage and root touch-ups to complete transformations. Techniques include balayage for soft gradients, ombre effects, and full-head baby lights, alongside traditional foils or partial applications designed for seamless regrowth.

Shorter hair receives dedicated attention through barbering options such as tapers, fades, and textured crops. Scalp treatments accompany these services to promote healthy hair growth and condition.

Specialised treatments extend to smoothing processes using Cocochoco formulations that minimise frizz and enhance shine across all hair types. Extensions allow additions of length, volume, or colour accents through established application methods. Wave and curl creation produces enduring textures suited to preference.

The salon functions as a recognised training centre led by Paula Barter, Head of Education. Stylists benefit from her expertise and ongoing development programmes, while apprentices contribute under supervision. This structure maintains high standards across the team, with a flexible approach that permits clients to work with any available professional.

Premium brands stocked include Montibello, Paul Mitchell, GHD, and Moroccanoil, chosen for reliability in professional and home settings. A separate facility offers Fake Bake spray tans in a private space.
