Bangin’ Hair on a Budget
Affordable Hair Appointments in Taunton
Get incredible hair without the premium price tag
Want to keep on top of your colour, try something new or just need a refresh but a normal salon visit feels a bit out of budget right now? Our Academy Appointments are the perfect for you.
Enjoy our usual professional appointments at a reduced price, carried out by our carefully trained junior stylists, all under the guidance of our experienced senior team.
Great hair doesn’t have to mean high prices.
What Are Academy Appointments?
Academy appointments are part of our in salon training programme, where our up and coming stylists refine their skills on real clients.
They’ve already built strong foundations and are now developing their confidence, speed, and advanced techniques.
Every appointment is:
Guided by senior stylists
Checked throughout the service
Delivered to our professional standards
You’re not a “practice model”, you’re a valued client getting great hair at a better price.
Why Choose Academy?
Save money without compromising on care
Our academy services are typically up to 50% more affordable than senior stylist appointments.
They’re perfect if you:
Want to maintain your hair on a budget
Are happy to spend a little longer in the salon
Love supporting new talent
Still want a professional service
We believe in being honest, that’s why our academy appointments are designed with transparency from the start.
Here’s how they work:
Appointments will take longer than with a senior stylist
Your service will be guided and overseen by our experienced team
We’ll always advise if your desired result isn’t suitable at academy level
If you’re flexible on time, this is where you get the best value.
What to Expect
Who Are Academy Appointments Perfect For?
We want every client to have the right experience, so lets be be upfront.
Academy appointments may not be the best fit if you:
Are short on time
Want a fast, premium speed service
Are booking a complex colour correction or transformation
Feel uncomfortable with a stylist still developing their speed
Are unhappy for learning mistakes to happen
In these cases, you’re better suited to our Senior Team in the salon.
These appointments are ideal if you:
Want affordable, professional hair colour
Are maintaining an existing colour or style
Are booking a blow dry, toner, gloss or simple refresh
Enjoy a more relaxed, learning focused salon experience
Who Might It NOT Be Right For?
Great question, and an important one.
Academy appointments are priced lower because:
They take longer
They’re part of a structured training programme
Our focus is on development as well as results
They’re with a developing Stylist, not someone with years of experience.
You’re investing a little more time to save money

✔ Professionally supervised
✔ Carefully supported
✔ Quality checked
