Award-Winning Colchester Hair Salon for Men, Women & Children.

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.

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.

 

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
Wash, tidy and go  – 45 mins
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
Wash, restyle and blow dry, includes SOS or Olaplex Treatment  – 1hr 30 mins
For those of you who have missed being pampered, this package includes a relaxing head massage with one of our luxury hair rescue treatments, to get you back on track. 

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. An SOS will be applied to keep the hair strong and in perfect condition followed by a toner to give the full head a perfect glow, that oozes effortless glamour.

“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.

“New beginnings”
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”
Missing that perfect foiled colour straight from the root but enjoying a little bit of natural breaking up your colour? Your normal foil service will be carried out, due to the long period between visits, some of your natural will remain giving you a softer regrowth and a low maintenance colour. An SOS will be applied after the foils to keep the hair in perfect condition followed by a toner of your desired shade.
This service is offered as a ½ head or full head.

“Silver shampoo overload”
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 & 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. 

“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.

Countdown to re-opening

by


Following revised guidance, we are now preparing to open from 4th July onwards. 

Please note this is a provisional date, we are waiting for final confirmation and we’ll contact you as soon as we have a definite date. Until then we are not able to take bookings.

Rescheduling missed appointments…

When we are permitted to do so, we shall be rescheduling bookings for those clients who had to miss their appointments during the lockdown. For those clients wishing to book but didn’t have an appointment, please don’t worry, we will contact you as soon as we can.

Our new salon experience…

We want to update you with the changes we have made to make our salon and team “Covid secure” so you can rest assured, knowing you’re in safe hands. Although it will be different, we aim to make your visit as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. 

• To accommodate the backlog of appointments, we shall be opening 7 days a week and late evenings. Our team will be working on a split shift / rotational basis.

• We have created more space within the salon, to ensure social distancing measures are adhered to wherever possible.

• We will allow an extra 15 minutes between appointments so we can sanitise the chairs and equipment.

• There will be a limited service menu due to time restrictions. So if for example you want a complete restyle cut and colour, we may have to split this over two appointments. Further details will follow soon.

• Due to the extra precautions we are taking, there maybe a small temporary “Covid secure” surcharge to cover extra time needed inbetween appointments and the cost of PPE and regular deep cleaning, which will be reviewed in line with the latest guidance.

Salon etiquette…

• Appointments must be booked in advance,  as we are not able to cater for walk ins at present.

• Only the person booking the appointment may enter the salon.

• We will have dedicated times for families, the elderly or anyone at higher risk to visit the salon, when it will be quieter. 

• We will provide bottled water, unfortunately we cannot offer hot drinks at the moment.

• Please only bring the bare essentials with you and avoid bringing in bulky shopping bags etc.

• Sadly we are not able to offer magazines, but you are welcome to bring your own, or a book and we also have free wifi.

Wish you were here…

We’ll be in touch again shortly, to update you of when we can take bookings, together with further details about visiting our salon. We can’t wait to welcome you back and to make you feel and look fantastic!

In the meantime, stay safe.

Love from the FA Team xx

We’re sending you our heart felt thanks

During the lockdown the Team at Fatal Attraction has been busy working behind the scenes, making preparations to adapt both our salon layouts to comply with the latest guidelines and recommendations, ready for when we are able to re-open.

We wanted to let you know that we are doing our utmost to ensure that all health and safety protocols are adhered to. All our staff have completed an on-line Covid-19 infection control course, to ensure that our clients and stylists can be kept as safe as possible.

When we are permitted to do so, we shall be rescheduling bookings for those clients who had to miss their appointments during the lockdown and we will keep you fully informed in due course of the arrangements we are making to take new bookings. For those clients wishing to book but didn’t have an appointment, please bear with us during this time, we will answer all enquiries as soon as we can.

We’ll be in touch again soon with an update, following Sunday’s announcement by the Prime Minister.

In the meantime we hope you are able to enjoy this Friday’s 75th Anniversary VE Day celebrations and make the most of the lovely weather, but more importantly please stay safe.
