Frequently Asked Questions
Foleshill Road and Earlsdon Street are popular for good reason. Whether you want a sleek bob or a trim before a uni interview, there’s a salon vibe to suit. Earlsdon’s more relaxed, great if you want a longer appointment and a decent coffee nearby. Near the station, salons are quicker and more student-friendly. Depends what mood you’re in, really.
Prices shift based on the stylist’s level and where the salon’s based. Salons near Broadgate are on the higher end, while smaller spots in Hillfields or Radford offer more affordable cuts. Weekday appointments are easier on the wallet, and Groupon often has local deals that bundle a cut and blowdry for better value. Always worth checking midweek.
Expect a relaxed chat with your stylist, then a wash, cut, and maybe a blowdry if it’s part of the service. Some salons offer tea or biscuits, and many ask what kind of styling you do day to day so they can shape the cut around that. No pressure, just helpful advice. If you’re nervous, mention it—they’re usually lovely about it.
Salons in Earlsdon and near The Skydome come up a lot in five-star reviews. Locals talk about welcoming staff, spot-on colour matching, and cuts that still look fresh a month later. One place by FarGo Village even gets praise for its playlist and warm lighting. People go back not just for the results, but for how they’re treated.
Soft face-framing layers and glossy blowdries are big, especially for people heading out in Cathedral Lanes or catching gigs at HMV Empire. Balayage is still a top choice for women wanting a bit of glow without constant upkeep. During festival season, lighter tones and textured waves show up more, while in winter, darker shades and sleek finishes take over.
Most places recommend booking, especially Fridays and Saturdays. Walk-ins are easier early in the week or in smaller salons off the ring road. Some apps show real-time availability, but calling directly still gets you a better idea. If you’ve got flexibility, late morning or early afternoon tends to have the best luck.
