Cutting & Styling

Ladies Shampoo Cut & Finish (for longer thicker hair)

From £54 - £70

60 min

A tailored shampoo, cut and finish for long, thicker hair. We cleanse to reset the scalp and detangle with care, then cut to remove weight, refine shape and keep the length you love. The finish is styled to suit you, so hair feels lighter, sits better and holds its look for days.

More information

What's Included

We focus on control, movement and lasting polish.

Personal consultation to understand your goals, hair history and routine.
Thorough cleanse, condition and gentle detangling for dense lengths.
Precision cut to reduce bulk without losing length, refining shape and reviving ends.
Blow-dry and finishing work tailored to thick hair for smooth, long-lasting results.
At-home styling tips and product guidance for your texture.

Who It's For

Ideal if your long hair feels heavy, bulky or hard to style, yet you want to keep the length. It suits straight, wavy and many curl types, and helps if split ends, tangles or flat shape are creeping in.

A good choice when you want movement and control without drastic change. We tailor the cut to your texture, lifestyle and how you like your hair to fall.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Longer, thicker hair needs extra time for thorough cleansing, sectioning and precise cutting. Please allow a little longer than a standard cut.

If you are planning a major restyle or have very dense or curly hair, mention it when booking so the right time is set aside. Arrive with hair down and free from heavy products; shampoo is included.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Maintain the shape and condition with trims every 8–12 weeks. Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner, then detangle from the ends up with a wide-tooth comb.

Apply heat protection before drying or styling. Finish with a light smoothing cream or a few drops of oil through the mid-lengths and ends.

To help your blow-dry last, brush through before bed, tie a loose low pony or braid, and avoid tight elastics. A silk pillowcase can reduce friction and frizz.

Such a great place! Jayne, my stylist (and consultant) was a real expert on hair design. This is the first time I’ve been here and I can only say how amazing it was! I’m over the moon with my new hair cut (I’d been thinking about changing my style for years). The consultation was excellent and I felt advised and supported in making my decision. I would thoroughly recommend this salon, probably the best experience I’ve ever had, thank you!

Amazing! I decided to give the salon a try after seeing a promotion on social media. First of all I got a cute cup of tea and the snack basket whilst waiting. I had a full consultation with Chloe before we started which was so helpful and professional. Chloe cut my hair beautifully and went through the blow drying process for me to practice at home. We discussed my colour appointment for next time. Chloe showed me example of her work and what would best suit me. Plus a plan for when the grey sparkles become more evident! I felt very at ease with the whole experience. The salon was thriving even at 5pm! Thank you so much.

I genuinely always have a lovely time here. They’re all so friendly, and chatty. I’ve never left unhappy with whatever service I get, nails or hair x

After not having gone to a salon in well over a decade this was the experience I needed. I felt listened to, and was talked through all of the process, super friendly team. And my hair is defo thankful.

I booked my teenage daughter in with Syd for a curly cut and style. My daughter was nervous but Syd put her completely at ease. She knew her stuff inside out and gave us lots of styling tips and advice to bring out the curls. My daughter was over the moon with the finished result. She is literally so happy and said it’s the best haircut she’s ever had and she’ll never go anywhere else. Thank you Syd! I’ll be booking in for my (non curly) cut next!

It was my first time visiting this salon today and felt very welcomed as I walked through the door. I got given complimentary drinks and snacks whilst I was being pampered and looked after. My hairdresser was called Sydney, she was very polite and well-mannered and done a wonderful job which I am very pleased with.

Can’t recommend The Vintage Avenue highly enough! Everyone there is SO welcoming and lovely. Want to especially mention Jayne and Chloe who were so fab to chat to and did the best job of my hair - have never been so pleased with the colour after years of trying to achieve a certain blonde! They both took their time to really understand what I wanted and looking forward to my next appointment 😊

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you remove weight without losing my length?

Yes. We use techniques that release internal bulk while keeping your outline length, agreed during consultation. You leave with movement and shape, not gaps.

Is the shampoo included?

Yes, a cleanse and condition are part of the service to prepare the hair for a precise cut and smooth finish. Please arrive with hair down and free from heavy oils or tight styles.

Will this work for wavy or curly long hair?

Yes. We adapt the cut to your texture and curl pattern to avoid unwanted bulk and keep definition. Very dense curls may need extra time, so mention this when booking.

How long will the finish last?

With the right routine, a smooth blow-dry can last several days, depending on activity and weather. We will recommend products and simple steps to extend longevity.

How often should I book this cut?

Every 8–12 weeks maintains shape and healthy ends. If your hair is very thick, heat styled often or prone to split ends, consider the earlier end of that range.
