Colourstart is a ready-to-use patch test for finding out if you might be allergic to one of the ingredients (PPD) in hair colourants. Colourstart is a clean and convenient way to screen for potential allergy to one of the chemicals, called para phenylenediamine (PPD), found in most hair colours.
To reduce the risk of experiencing an allergic reaction to hair colour, some manufacturers recommend screening for allergy by using an Allergy Alert Test (AAT) on the skin.Colourstart can show whether you may be allergic to the hair colour ingredient PPD. It works by exposing the skin to a very small, controlled amount of PPD, far less than is contained in hair colour.

The worst haircut i have ever had. if they take you upstairs than your haircut will be made by students but still change £45 . I have told that i wont be paying £45 for the haircut that looks so bad. At the back of my head i do not have a straight line but some sort of round line. I talked to the main director and somehow he didn't see a problem with my haircut. I kept showing the back of my head and he didn't understand why i was complaining. He was rude . I would never recommend this place ever to anyone. the main director should see the employees mistakes not pretend that they don't exist

Had my first experience with this salon in the last couple of weeks and it's nothing short of being exceptional.
Went in for a consultation..... Blake listened to exactly what I was looking for and went through all the colour and treatment options with me. I then had my patch test which was set up at the salon before leaving with a pre booked appointment.
On the day of the appointment I had a really warm welcome, they were expecting me and greeted me with my name and offereda coffee.i know this sounds simple but you don't get made to feel that welcome in every salon.
I also really liked that I

I went today to have a free hair cut with Haley and thoroughly enjoyed my experience, from the initial consultation, to the massage chair whilst having my hair washed, to my beautiful new cut. Hayley was very easy to talk to and was always checking that I was ok and happy with what she was doing. My family all love my new hair style. Thank you so much xx

I have been visiting Scott Banks for the last 15 years and can honestly say it just gets better and better. Scott has always strived to put his customers first and improve their experience, nothing is ever too much.
Wether it's Ruth sneaking me in for an appointment or just being offered a beer in the salon.
I visited on Saturday for my post Covid trim, as I was having my hair washed Scott pulled all his team to one side, opened up several bottle of top end champagne and thanked them for the hard-work and graft in their first week of reopening. To see an owner/boss/employer of any kind publicly

I've been going to Scott's for nearly 20 years and cannot speak highly enough of him and his whole team. The quality of service is always exceptional - positive, professional and knowledgeable. Lovely Scott has been my stylist for about 15 years and what he doesn't know about hairdressing isn't worth knowing! His passion and creativity are inspiring and the salon is stunning too. A gem of a place.

I have been visiting Scott Banks for the last 9 years or so and wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and super professional. The quality of the salon is reflected in the high level of service. I visit every 6 - 8 weeks and value for the money is exceptional. Would highly recommend to anyone.

I have been going to Scott for most of my adult life. His expertise in cutting techniques is second to none. I have been every colour in the spectrum and have never had a bad experience. You are informed every step of the way about what to expect and how you want your hair. I now just leave it in his hands knowing that I will come out feeling and looking great. The salon ambience is calming and friendly - its an experience I love every 6 weeks.
Dont hesitate if you are thinking of booking an appointment.

Fantastic five star salon. Scott and his staff made me feel very welcome from my first visit. It is very obvious all the team care very much about their clients. The salon itself is stunning, a lovely relaxing environment. Scott has made such a difference to my hair by not only understanding what I want from my cut and colour but also being honest about what can be achieved. I cannot recommend Scott Banks Hairdressing enough.

I have Attended Scott banks for over 15 years, stayed loyal and paid over the odds year after year with only one previous complaint when I decided to try their cheaper salon Evolution.
Recently paid £170.00 for cut and colour and couldn't be more disappointed. Not the colour I wanted and came out with an uneven cut with no layers and one side of my head had a few random mucky blonde highlights. Called to advised I was unhappy with the way my hair had been done.. I received a call back from Scott banks himself who just stated they're not prepared to redo my hair and that they are more

Love this salon, Scott and his team are so welcoming, excellent honest advice from Scott on what colours would suit me, love my new hair done by Libby. Prices to suit all budgets,, I bought some hair products, OLAPLEX shampoo and conditioner, unbelievable the small amount you need to use, my hair feels so soft and healthy, loving the Magical quick dry potion, which is a spray to protect my hair, can be used on wet or dry hair, fabulous
