How much is a haircut at Fergal Doyle Hair?

A cut and blowdry starts from £55 with a Graduate stylist and from £80 with Fergal. All cuts include a detailed consultation so you leave with a style that works for your hair, face shape, and lifestyle.

What is the difference between a cut and blowdry and a restyle?

A cut and blowdry maintains your existing shape — a refresh within the same structure. A restyle is booked when you want a significant change in length, shape, or structure. If unsure which to book, contact us and we'll advise.

Do you offer a blow dry only service in Bristol?

Yes. Blow dry services start from £30 and are available in short, long, extensions, and curly/wavy finishes. Available at both our Clifton and Stoke Bishop studios.

How much does a root tint cost in Bristol?

A permanent root tint at Fergal Doyle Hair costs from £48 with a Graduate stylist, up to £70 with Fergal. All colour services include a consultation to choose the right shade and technique for your hair.

What is a semi-permanent root melt?

A semi-permanent root melt deposits colour without lifting, making it ideal for blending greys, refreshing tone, or extending time between full colour appointments. Prices start from £40.

How often should I get my roots done?

Most clients with permanent colour come in every 4-6 weeks for a root tint. With a semi-permanent root melt or lived-in colour, every 8-12 weeks may work better. Your stylist will advise based on your colour and hair type.

How much does balayage cost in Bristol?

Balayage at Fergal Doyle Hair starts from £145 with a Graduate stylist and from £210 with Fergal. Price varies depending on hair length and the result you're after. We recommend a free consultation before booking.

What is the difference between balayage and highlights?

Highlights use foils to create a more uniform, all-over lightening effect. Balayage is a hand-painted technique that creates a softer, sun-kissed, more graduated result. Balayage typically looks more natural and grows out more gracefully.

How long does balayage take?

A balayage appointment typically takes between 2.5 and 4 hours, depending on hair length, thickness, and the lightening process required. We recommend allowing extra time for a toner and blowdry finish.

How often do I need to get balayage redone?

Most clients refresh their balayage every 3-6 months, often booking a toner appointment in between to keep the tone vibrant. Balayage is designed to grow out beautifully.

What is a scalp bleach and do I need one?

A scalp bleach applies lightener directly to the root area for a high-contrast blonde result. It's typically needed for clients who want very light, bright blonde at the root. Virgin hair scalp bleach starts from £155.

How much are tape extensions at Fergal Doyle Hair?

A full set of tape extensions applied costs from £90 with a Graduate stylist, up to £130 with Fergal. Removal is £58 across all tiers. Extension hair is purchased separately.

How long do tape extensions last?

Tape extensions typically last 6-8 weeks before they need to be repositioned. With proper care and the right aftercare products, the hair can be reused multiple times.

What is WellaPlex and do I need it?

WellaPlex is a Wella Professionals bond-strengthening treatment that protects and rebuilds the hair's internal bond structure during colour. It costs £42 added to any colour appointment and is particularly recommended for lightening services.

How long does a smoothing treatment last?

Smoothing treatments at Fergal Doyle Hair typically last 10-16 weeks. Using sulphate-free shampoo will significantly extend the life of your treatment.

How much does a smoothing treatment cost in Bristol?

Smoothing treatments at Fergal Doyle Hair are £215 for short hair, £240 for mid-length, and £260 for long hair. The price is the same across all stylist tiers.

Do you offer wedding hair services in Bristol?

How far in advance should I book a wedding hair trial?

We recommend booking your trial at least 4-6 months before your wedding date, especially for weekend weddings. This also secures your wedding morning appointment with your preferred stylist.

Which stylist should I book at Fergal Doyle Hair?

Hair Colour Trends Bristol 2026

2026 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years for hair colour in recent memory. At Fergal Doyle Hair in Bristol, our colour team stays at the forefront of global trends, runway looks and salon innovations to bring the very best of what's current to our Bristol clients. Here are the hair colour trends we're seeing most this year.

1. Warm Brunette Tones

Rich, warm brunette shades are having a major moment in 2026. Think deep espresso browns with subtle warmth, chocolate brunettes with golden undertones and mocha tones that add incredible depth and dimension. These shades are incredibly flattering and highly versatile, working beautifully on a wide range of skin tones.

2. Copper and Auburn Renaissance

Copper, auburn and warm red tones have made a spectacular comeback in 2026. From soft, burnished copper balayage to full head vibrant auburn, these warm tones are bold, beautiful and surprisingly wearable. Bristol clients are embracing copper more than ever and our colourists love crafting these rich, warm transformations.

3. Dimensional Bronde

Bronde – the beautiful hybrid of brown and blonde – continues to trend strongly. Dimensional bronde uses a combination of balayage, toning and subtle highlights to create hair that appears naturally streaked and sun-kissed. It is one of the most low-maintenance and universally flattering colour options available.

4. Glossy, High-Shine Finishes

Regardless of base colour, the defining aesthetic of 2026 is shine. Glossy, healthy-looking hair that reflects light beautifully is the goal. Gloss and toning treatments added to colour services can dramatically elevate the finish of any colour, adding depth, vibrancy and a luxurious, mirror-like shine.
