The stylists
Four people, four specialties.
- 01
Ines MarrowOwner, colour lead
Ines trained as a painter and treats balayage like a watercolour wash: wet, patient, never overworked. No colour without a strand test.
Tue to Sat · balayage, gloss, correction
- 02
Tobias QuillCutting
The person for a blunt bob or a restructure. He cuts in silence for the first few minutes, then explains every decision.
Tue to Fri · bobs, one-length, restructures
- 03
Petra AshgroveCurls & texture
Petra cuts curls dry and in sections, then teaches you the wash routine on your own hair before you leave.
Wed to Sat · curl cuts, defining, waves
- 04
Wen HalloranShort hair
Clipper work with a tailor’s eye: textured crops, soft tapers, neat necklines. Takes fringe tidies on quiet mornings.
Tue to Sat · crops, tapers, pixies
The stylists are fictional characters written for this demo, so there are no photos of them.
