About Nicholas James
Nicholas James is a full-service hairdressing salon offering cuts, colouring, and styling for women, men, and children. The team specialises in a range of colouring techniques, from highlights and balayage—where colour is hand-painted onto the hair for a natural finish—to whole head tints and semi-permanent colour options. Regrowth tints and bleach services are also available, with consultations recommended for more complex treatments.
Beyond colour work, Nicholas James provides blow-dry services and permanent blow-dry treatments for those seeking longer-lasting results. The salon uses Davines conditioning treatments to support hair health and maintain the quality of your style. Whether you're looking for a fresh cut and blow dry or a complete colour transformation, the team tailors each service to suit your individual needs and personality.
