How it works

1. Free consultation
   A free online consultation to discuss goals, treatment dates, cold-cap use (if any), and hair priorities. We agree service windows and any patch tests required.

2. Your hairdressing plan
   A  plan for cut/colour/texture mapped to your chemotherapy and cancer treatment cycles. We keep appointments short, gentle, and precise.

3. Services during treatment
   Light-handed techniques, reduced scalp tension, careful sectioning, and finish choices that flatter and protect.

4. After treatment
   Regrowth shaping, grey-blending, lightening or shade refresh, chemo-curl calming, and a step-by-step return to your preferred look.

Safety & Practicalities 
• Patch testing: Done where indicated—even if you’ve coloured for years.
• Tension & timing: We minimise pull and schedule to reduce discomfort.
• Not medical advice: We work alongside your clinical team and cooling provider guidance.

 

Common FAQs about hairdressing during cancer treatments 
Can I colour during chemo?
Yes, with Daniel Field's cancer safe hairdressing products, careful timing, patch testing where indicated, and adapted technique. We’ll advise case by case.

Will highlights/foils pull on the scalp?
We use alternative bleach that eliminates all structural damage, we use reduced-tension placement, light foil packets, and if required alternative highlighting patterns to increase the textured effect, protect comfort and ensure excellent colour coverage.

What if my texture changes (chemo-curl)?
We offer gentle shaping, curl-friendly cutting, and natural chemo curl reversal as a re-texturing option to calm frizz and restore outline.

Do you cut and blend wigs/toppers?
Yes—discreetly. We tailor length, fringe, and density

Is private space available?
The salon clientele are mostly cancer patients
