Here’s a selection of our latest makeovers

by

It’s already been a month since we’ve re-opened and it’s been lovely to see so many of you back at the salon for your post lockdown makeovers. The FA Team is really pleased to see a large number of clients making follow up appointments too, as it’s important to keep your hair in great shape and condition during the summer months.

Updated Policy
As from 8th August, in accordance with the latest government guidelines, it will be mandatory for clients to wear face masks inside our salons. We will of course keep you posted of any changes as we receive further updates, and we should just like to reiterate the safety of our clients and team at Fatal Attraction the number one priority.

Social Distancing
Currently we are restricting the number of chairs in our salon to 4 (down from 10) in order to comply with the 2m social distancing. At the end of August we will be reviewing this policy together with our services and prices in accordance with the latest government guidelines and advice from our industry experts. Because we have to allow extra time for each client to sanitise the chairs and equipment, we are working extended hours to make sure we can fit everyone in for their post lockdown appointments. For those of you who would prefer to visit when the salon is quieter, or if you have any other concerns about the revised treatments, new procedures and pricing (published on our website), please do get in touch. Our revised on-line booking system has been very successful, however if you would prefer to give us a call to discuss your requirements, that’s absolutely fine too!

Since 4th July, in order to compensate for the loss of business until we were able to re-open, we have not been able to offer our usual discounts and our prices have increased. We have already and will continue to offer NHS workers 20% off all services and during August we will also be offering a “Back to School” kids special offer, please see the voucher below.

Customer Feedback
We have recently received a large number of positive and informative reviews from clients about their experiences at our salons, and we really appreciate this feedback. It helps us to make improvements to ensure our customers receive the best possible service when they visit during these challenging times.

As a reminder, please see the safety guidelines for your visit to the salon below.

• Please, please, please arrive on time for your appointment!!
• If you arrive early, please wait outside the salon, socially distanced and wait to be invited in.
• From 8th August you must wear a mask in the salon, so please remember to bring this with you. We do have these available should you forget.
• Hand sanitiser is available when you enter and leave the salon.
• You will be taken to your designated chair by your stylist on arrival.
• We are unable to provide hot beverages, however we can supply bottled water, or you can bring your own.
• Due to hygiene reasons, we are not able to provide magazines, so please bring a your own, or a book and don’t forget we have free WIFI too!
• Please keep your personal belongings with you and only bring the bare essentials into the salon.
• Please note we are aiming to go contactless and prefer card payments, although cash is being accepted.

Thanks so much for taking on board all these changes and we look forward to seeing you again very soon.
Love from the FA Team x

 

As a thank you to the NHS we will continue to offer NHS Staff 20% off all services 7 days a week.

Please note our Pensioner’s and Student discounts will return in September.

 

It’s lovely to be back!

It’s so lovely to be back – it seems such a long time since we last saw you at our Colchester and Sudbury salons. Thank you all so much for your patience and support.

It’s been wonderful to start seeing our clients for their post lockdown makeovers! Our Creative Stylists have been really excited to be working on so many restyles and colour changes. We’ve also been super impressed with how you’ve all managed your hair during the past 3 months.

Your feedback has been amazing and much appreciated, we knew we had a challenge ahead and we had no idea of how busy it would be. We are so sorry for anyone we have missed, as you are all very important to us. As well as ensuring the safety of our team and clients for your return, our other main task was to reschedule all cancelled appointments (due to the lockdown), before we could open our diaries for new bookings.

We are now open for all bookings and we encourage you wherever possible to use our online booking service at www.fatalattractionltd.com, or pre-book your next appointment at your visit, as our phone lines have been extremely busy. Unfortunately at this time we are not always able to leave our customers to answer the phone. Please leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as possible or you can email us at info@fatalattractionhairdesign.co.uk. We are constantly learning and growing and appreciate any feedback you have to improve our services during these challenging times.

Please see below for our temporary opening hours for August, and check out our new client journey to ensure you have a relaxing and safe visit.

We’re going the extra mile for you

by

The team at Fatal Attraction, is going above and beyond to ensure all safety measures are in place, so we are “Covid Secure” and ready for re-opening the salon on 4th July.

We are currently in the process of contacting all our clients who had appointments booked during lockdown to reschedule and talk through the changes in our procedures and our revised services.

For those of you emailing us to book appointments, please bear with us, we will get in touch with you soon as soon as possible – we have simply been inundated with messages and we are gradually working our way through them.

At the moment we are waiting for our new on-line booking system to go live and we shall contact you again very soon, once this is up and running. Please note when booking appointments on-line we will require a 50% deposit. You can check out our revised cutting and colour lockdown menus here on our website – please scroll down for further details. 

We mentioned in our last email that we have a new post lockdown guide to which cutting and colouring services you need to book, so your stylist has the correct time allocated for your hair. If you are unsure of how long you will need for your appointment, don’t worry our stylists can discuss your requirements and advise you accordingly. We will be operating the reduced service menu and extra hours for July and August to start with, and this will be reviewed in accordance with the latest Government guidance.

Please be aware that if you have coloured your hair during the lockdown, or if it has been 6 months since your last visit, we will need to do a skin test 48 hours prior any colour service, and we will invite you in prior to your appointment.

For clients who are high risk or booking appointments for children, our stylists will contact you to make sure we allow enough time for you and to let you know when the salon is quieter.

Before your appointment we will be contacting you either by text or email with our safety information guide, so you can be fully prepared for your visit. Please rest assured that all equipment and chairs will be sanitised inbetween each appointment, to ensure that you and our team are safe. We need to allow extra time on all services for sanitation and will only be operating with a maximum of 4 stylists working at any one time, to ensure you have a safe and relaxing experience with us.

It’s not much longer to wait and we’ll update you regarding our on-line booking system availability very soon.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We’re Making Plans

by

We are still awaiting Government guidance but in the meantime we thought you would like to check out our reduced service menu, so you are aware of all the changes we have been making to welcome you back.

Please note we will update our cut and colour menus to include prices as soon as possible.

We will be working on a split rota system, open daily with extended hours on some evenings to accommodate you all. Our reduced service menu will apply for the first 2 months after re-opening to ensure that our clients don’t miss out, until we can get back to our usual opening hours and full range of services.

As it’s been at least 3 months since your last visit, in the days leading up to our salon re-opening, our stylists will be available to offer help and advice via video consultations so we can prepare you for your visit. The most important thing is that we allow enough time for your requirements, which will depend on the condition, thickness and length of your hair, so please contact us if you are unsure based on the services set out below. 

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding – we’re really looking forward to seeing you soon

EXPRESS TRIM

Whether it’s tidying short or fine hair, or a quick trim for those who are growing their hair longer, this service is perfect for gents and kids too.

BRING BACK MY STYLE!
Wash, restyle and blow dry  – 1hr 15 mins
If your hair is driving you wild and needs taming, we’ll bring back your pre-lock down style.

THE R&R EXPERIENCE

REGROWTH COLOUR

“The lock down root wait”
With it being at least 15 weeks since your last root top up, we will need to apply the colour in a different way to make sure that the result is even and coverage is perfect.  An SOS treatment to restore any lost strength or protection during lock down will be applied after to finish off the service. 

“That semi didn’t impress me much”
If a  blending colour has been applied to soften your root during lock down, we will top up your root colour and use one of our bespoke colour balancing formulas to match up any unevenness or warmth that may have been left from your top up.  A custom booster treatment will be applied after, to infuse the hair with enhanced shine and hydration.

“Box dye dullness”
If you have needed a little colour top up during lock down to cover any white hair, the result may have become darker or flatter than normal or be slightly patchy. We will apply your preferred root colour and a detox service to the hair where the colour needs to be tweaked.  A toner to match the colour root to tip will be applied after as well as an SOS treatment to lock in your new colour. 

___________________________

FULL HEAD BLONDE

“Root overload”
At the edge of your seat – awaiting the return of that perfect blonde all the way to the root? We have you covered  with a technique that is designed to create an even blonde, even with the largest of roots.
An SOS will be applied after the hair has been lightened to keep the hair at its strongest, followed by a bespoke blonde shade of your choice.

“Detox & lighten”
Has silver shampoo become a bit of a lock down obsession, or you have tried to lift your roots yourself?
We will remove any unwanted tone from the hair, lighten your root and glaze the hair with your desired shade of blonde. 
An SOS will be infused into the hair to lock in your tone and keep the hair in perfect condition. 

“Detox & transition”
An overload of roots got you itching for a whole new look? Fancy embracing a darker shade or getting your texture groove on with highlight?  Our team will create the perfect package to achieve the new you.

BALAYAGE

“Work with what you’ve grown”
Embracing a more low maintenance colour but need a little boost? We will tailor the perfect placement of Blonde to enhance your natural colour.

“Bring your Balayage back to life”
Missing that flawless blend and multi-tonal locks? Never fear, we will return your Balayage to its former glory.  An SOS will be applied to keep the hair full of life, followed by a toner to create a custom blonde and a custom booster to give instant colour longevity.

Over done it with the silver shampoo or struggling with the left over pink from an impromptu “lock down made me do it”- no problem. A custom detox or colour rest will be applied to the hair, followed by an SOS treatment to perfect the hair, ready for a new bespoke blonde infused into the hair.

HIGHLIGHTS

“Foil me- please”

“Foil me like crazy”
Roots driving you mad and wanting to return the the intense foil finish? Due to the extended period since your last colour we will need to put twice the amount of foils in to return the hair to its former self.  An SOS treatment is added to the hair after your foils are removed to keep it strong and hydrated, a bespoke toner of your desired blonde is glazed over the top followed by a bespoke booster treatment to keep your hair feeling and looking perfect.
