Salt is a two-chair hair studio with one brief: hair that looks good on day three, air-dried, after a swim. The cuts, the colour and everything on the shelf are chosen for exactly that - which is why half the menu is about what happens after you leave.

You get the same stylist start to finish; the person washing your hair is the person cutting it, and nobody is ever double-booked. Colour is quoted at the consult, before anything goes on.

Booking is online and the calendar shows real availability. Between big changes? The toner and gloss is the best forty-five minutes on the menu.
