the studio by alex - HAIR SALON IN BILLINGHAM

LUXURY HAIR, EXTENSIONS & BLOWDRIES THAT TURN HEADS.

Step inside our newly redesigned salon and experience expert colour, flawless extensions, and styling that lasts - all in a space where every detail inspires.

not just a salon - an experience.

We’ve reimagined the salon experience with a modern, Middle Eastern twist.

Inspired by the textures and charm of Saudi Arabia, our space blends natural stone finishes, organic curves, and statement details - from our rock display stand to double-sided “ruin” mirrors and a ceiling divider that feels like history reborn. Every element has been designed to make you feel inspired the moment you walk through the door.

Questions

  • We highly recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred time and stylist. Walk-ins are welcome when we have availability, but we can’t always guarantee it.

  • For colour, extensions, or specialist services, we recommend booking 2–4 weeks ahead. For haircuts or blow-dries, 1–2 weeks is usually enough - but busier seasons like Christmas fill up faster.

  • Yes - a deposit is required to secure your appointment. This will be deducted from your final bill. Deposits are non-refundable but transferable if you reschedule with the required notice (see our cancellation policy).

  • We kindly ask for a minimum of 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or reschedules. Late cancellations or no-shows will result in loss of deposits and may require full payment before rebooking.

  • Yes - all new colour clients and extension clients must have a patch test at least 48 hours before their appointment. This is to ensure your safety and avoid any allergic reactions.

  • We love little ones, but for safety reasons and to ensure a relaxing experience for all guests, we ask that you only bring children if they have an appointment themselves.

    • Tie your hair in a loose ponytail or plait before sleeping.

    • Make sure all products are thoroughly rinsed to avoid product build-up.

    •  Always separate hair extensions from each other while styling to prevent matting.

    • Comb/brush extensions from the ends, working your way up to the root to avoid shedding; please see stylist on recommended hair extension brushes.
