OUR ETHOS

​

Our aspiration here at The Cut Hairdressers and Barbers is to provide our clients the highest standard of hair care, in an environment that is focused on sustainability, kindness, compassion and comfort. We know that great hair is achievable without damaging our planet and our animal friends, and to this end we use a product brand that enshrines these principles and we are extra mindful of our recycling and waste efforts.
We have also banned gossip magazines from the salon as we feel they do not promote kindness and wellbeing but in fact the opposite. Instead we have sourced an array of interesting and unique reading materials.
At The Cut we believe that your experience with us should be one in which you feel you are the top priority; your stay with us will not be rushed and you will be taken care of from beginning to end by one of our fantastic stylists. You will leave with not only a new look, but a relaxed and re-energized sate of mind.
