Great hair doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with an in-depth consultation! 

Why we offer complimentary hair consultations 

Your hair journey is personal, and it deserves our full attention. During your complimentary consultation, we take the time to discuss everything you want to achieve and make sure it aligns with your hair’s health and our expertise. We’ll chat about your vision, what’s realistic, and how we can help you achieve it without compromising the integrity of your hair. 

What to expect during your complimentary hair consultation 

 

Open, honest conversations 

We believe in clear communication. Whether you’re after a dramatic change or just a little refresh, we’ll have an open conversation about what’s possible based on your hair’s current state. We promise to always be honest about what we can achieve — no false promises here! Our goal is to always under-promise and over-deliver, so you walk away looking and feeling amazing. 

 

Prioritising your hair’s health 

Your hair’s health is at the forefront of everything we do. If we feel your desired result could put your hair at risk, we’ll offer alternatives that won’t cause unnecessary damage. Sometimes, this means testing a small section of your hair to see how it reacts to colour or treatment before we go all in. Better safe than sorry, right?  

 

Skin testing for your safety 

When it comes to colour services, your safety is top of our priority list. That’s why we require a skin test before we can carry out any colour treatment. The patch test application is easy to carry out and checks for any allergic reactions to the products we use.  

Here’s how it works: 

  • You’ll fill out a quick skin test form during your consultation. 
  • We’ll check in with you 24 hours later to confirm you haven’t experienced any reactions. 
  • Skin tests need to be updated every six months, as per the manufacturer’s recommendations. 

Without an up-to-date skin test, we can’t proceed with any colour services. It’s not just for your safety, but also a requirement from our insurance provider. Sorry, but we can’t legally perform any chemical services without following these guidelines. We are also unable to provide any chemical services to under 16s. 

“I always leave feeling great!”

I’ve had a handful of appointments with Bethany since January and she’s been amazing every single time. She’s the one person I’ve felt totally safe with working on my hair to the point where now I just go in a let her do her thing, I trust her enough to know what to do and I always leave feeling great! Thank you Bethany – you’re amazing!

“I felt listened to and valued”

I hadn’t been into a salon for years , and I dont mind saying I was pretty nervous. However, there was no need, all the staff are so warm and welcoming, I felt listened to and valued. The salon itself is spacious and I love the interior, including the seasonal window displays! I really look forward to my visits.

“I was really nervous but Robyn did a fab job and it's exactly what I wanted”

Robyn was amazing, totally listening to what I wanted / my concerns and giving me advice and reassurance in a really informative and non-pushy way. I had an initial consultation and then booked in for balayage. Having never died my hair I was really nervous but Robyn did a fab job and it’s exactly what I wanted. Thank you Pelo and thank you Robyn!

“I’ve got exactly what I’ve been trying to achieve for a while”

I’ve just had my second appointment. I’m even more impressed than I was with my first visit. The salon is comfortable and friendly. I’ve been to some salons that I’ve felt a little overwhelmed in. Pelo is completely the opposite. I was offered several drinks during my 4 hours there. They talk through what you are looking to achieve and what they are going to do. I’ve got exactly what I’ve been trying to achieve for a while.

“I highly recommend Pelo!”

I had been recommended Georgie by a couple of friends and I had been looking for a new hairdresser to bring my colourful hair back to life – she got my vision straight away during my consultation and the finished cut and colour was just what I was looking for! The salon environment is lovely and everyone is very friendly and helpful, I highly recommend Pelo! Thank you

“A lovely salon where as a customer I felt truly valued”

Lovely salon. Had a fantastic consultation with Robyn was very honest about the condition of my hair and what would be best to improve the condition. No pressure to have it all cut off. Hair was coloured and cut as well as having an intense treatment. While experience was very professional and every care was taken to ensure I was happy with my hair before leaving the salon. Robyn gave recommendations on products but again no pressure for me to make a purchase. A lovely salon where as a customer I felt truly valued. Already booked my next visit

“I always leave feeling good about myself which is worth every penny!”

Claire and the Team at Pelo always give a warm welcome and provide the best service. Claire is an attentive, knowledable stylist as well as business owner. Claire knows my hair better than me but always checks out how I need her to help me. I always leave feeling good about myself which is worth every penny!

“I am so glad I found Pelo!”

I am so glad I found Pelo! It’s wonderful to leave the hairdresser feeling so excited and positive about my haircut. All the staff a warm and welcoming. Could not recommend them more highly!

“I adore this salon”

I adore this salon. Clean, contemporary, friendly and welcoming. Very successfully caters for all ages, women and men. The stylists and colourists are highly qualified and experienced, in particular Robyn is the queen of blonde and balayage. She has such a beautiful, kind and approachable nature. She is exceptionally skillful and intelligent, she really explains the science and theory behind products, colours & treatments, which always makes me feel like I’m in safe hands. My hair is in the best condition it’s been for a fair few years with thanks to Robyn. I’ve never left not feeling confident and happy with the result. Also absolute bonus with Pelo is that their products are all consciously sourced, ethical brands which is a huge win in my book. I’d hugely recommend this local independent salon! Thank you.

Why our complimentary hair consultations help give you the best results 

We know your time is precious, and so’s your hair.

That’s why our consultations are designed to make sure you leave with the best possible results. You’ll have realistic expectations from the start, so you’ll know exactly what’s achievable and walk away with a style that suits you perfectly.  

 

We also prioritise the health of your hair, ensuring it stays strong, shiny, and damage-free throughout any chemical process. On top of that, our expert team will provide tailored advice specific to your hair type, history, and goals. By spending a little extra time on the consultation first, you’ll enjoy longer-lasting results, with your hair looking and feeling healthier! 

Silent hair appointments in Leamington Spa and Warwick 

At Pelo, we get that sometimes you just want a little bit of peace and quiet. That’s why we offer silent appointments, where you can unwind and enjoy your treatment without the pressure of small talk. After your initial consultation, feel free to kick back and relax while we take care of the rest.  

If you find too much noise stressful and overstimulating, or you’re after a quieter vibe, we can also suggest times when the salon is less busy. Just let us know when booking, and we’ll make sure your experience is all about what feels right for you.
