Question 1

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.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Do you offer a blow dry only service in Bristol?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

How much does a root tint cost in Bristol?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What is a semi-permanent root melt?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

How often should I get my roots done?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

How much does balayage cost in Bristol?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

What is the difference between balayage and highlights?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

How long does balayage take?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

How often do I need to get balayage redone?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

What is a scalp bleach and do I need one?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 12

How much are tape extensions at Fergal Doyle Hair?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 13

How long do tape extensions last?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 14

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.
