Esther Alexander

Maybe the colour looked good, but was more maintenance than you wanted. Maybe the cut worked beautifully in the salon but you couldn’t recreate it at home. Or maybe you left knowing it wasn’t quite what you had pictured, even though you couldn’t put your finger on why.

That gap usually starts before the service itself.

What do you actually like about your hair? What drives you mad about it? How much time will you genuinely spend styling it on a Tuesday morning? What does “warmer” mean to you? How short is “not too short”?

Those details matter because the goal isn’t simply for your hair to look good when you leave.

It needs to work when you have to live with it.

That’s what the Esther Alexander experience is built around.

Before we change what we use on your hair, we want to know exactly how it performs.

So we took the Esther Alexander team out of Epsom for the day and headed to Lacey's Hair & Beauty in Reading to get properly hands-on with the .uk professional colour and haircare range.

Previa is a range we're currently exploring for the salon, so this wasn't just a case of looking through a catalogue and choosing a few nice bottles.

The girls worked on members of the Lacey's team, mixing colour, testing products, styling the finished hair and seeing for themselves how everything behaved from application through to the final result.

We were also joined by Technical Educator @, who was brilliant. Very knowledgeable, very generous with her time and exactly the kind of person you want around when you're asking far too many questions.

And there were plenty.

We're not making any grand announcements just yet. The point of days like this is to keep learning, challenge what we're already doing and make sure anything we eventually introduce at Esther Alexander has earned its place.

A good day away from the salon. Some lovely results. And plenty for the team to bring back to Epsom.

Thank you to Lacey's, Odette and the team for having us.

Thinking about changing your colour after having extensions fitted? This is one to know before you reach for the dye.

Hair extensions don’t behave exactly like your natural hair.

They’ve already been coloured and processed before they reach the salon, which means applying more colour can give you a very different result from the hair growing from your head.

They can grab darker than expected. Warmth can appear where you didn't want it. And trying to lighten extension hair is particularly risky.

That’s why we would always rather get the colour right before fitting your extensions than try to correct it afterwards.

During an extension consultation, we look at your natural colour, any colour plans you have coming up and the result you ultimately want, then choose the extension shades around that.

Because when you're investing in good hair, protecting it is part of the service.

Considering Nano hair extensions in Ewell or Epsom? Book a consultation with the Esther Alexander team and we’ll talk you through colour, maintenance, cost and what will realistically work for your hair.

Everyone good at something once had a first year.

Meet our youngest stylist, Annalise.

Annalise is coming towards the end of her training, with her final assessment ahead of her in September.

And while she's still at the beginning of her career, she's already starting to work out the kind of stylist she wants to become.

She's learning every day, building confidence behind the chair and getting more hands-on experience with clients alongside the rest of the Esther Alexander team.

What we like most is that she's hungry to get better. She asks questions. She watches. She practises. And she genuinely cares about doing a good job.

There's still plenty for her to learn, she'd be the first to tell you that, but that's exactly what this stage of her career is about.

Watch the reel and get to know Annalise a little better.
