Before your visit

A few things
you might be wondering.

From your first consultation to your next colour appointment.

Booking & your visit

How do I book, and can I choose my stylist?

Book online through Fresha, or use the individual booking buttons in our team section. Choose Bianca (owner and hair stylist), Yasmin (hair stylist) or Yazmin (apprentice), then select your service and an available appointment.

I’m not sure which service to book. Where should I start?

Start with a consultation on Fresha. Bring a few inspiration photos and explain your current colour, previous treatments and the look you would like. Discuss the options with your stylist before choosing a bigger colour change or extensions.

Why are prices different between stylists?

Each stylist has their own listed prices on Fresha. Our hair menu compares them so you can choose the right appointment for you. Some services are priced “from”, and colour prices may vary with hair length and thickness. Confirm the final price when booking.

Where is the salon?

You’ll find Mane Character at The Cove, 275 London Road, Hilsea, Portsmouth, PO2 9HE. Opening hours: Monday–Tuesday, 8am–6pm; Wednesday–Friday, 8am–8pm; Saturday, 8am–6pm; Sunday, closed. Individual stylist availability is shown on Fresha.

Colour & styling

Do I need a skin test before a colour appointment?

Yes. Our colour services require a skin test at least 48 hours before your appointment. Skin test and consultation options are listed on Fresha. Please arrange this before booking your colour visit.

Does my colour booking include a cut or blow-dry?

Please add a finishing service to colour appointments, such as a blow-dry or cut and blow-dry. Packages may already include a finish, so check the package description before adding another service.

How long should I allow for my appointment?

Our menu and Fresha show the listed time for each service. Colour processing and a separate finishing service can affect the total time you spend in the salon. Check the complete appointment length with your stylist, especially when combining services.

Do you offer wedding, prom and occasion hair?

Hair-up, curling, pin curls and blow-dries are listed on Fresha. For wedding or prom enquiries, email booking@manecharacterhairsalon.com with a brief description of what you need. The standalone curling service does not include a wash and blow-dry.

Extensions & treatments

Which hair extensions do you offer?

Our menu includes tape and nano tip extension fitting, along with removal and maintenance services. Book a consultation and colour match first to discuss the right option and receive a quote.

How much is an extension consultation?

A hair extension consultation is listed at £10 for 15 minutes, with the consultation charge deducted from your appointment fee. Fitting prices are listed separately; confirm the full cost, including the hair you need, at your consultation.

Do you offer keratin smoothing and hair treatments?

Yes. Keratin smoothing and hair mask treatments are on our menu. Ask your stylist which treatment suits your hair and the finish you want, and check the selected service and price on Fresha.

How should I look after my colour, extensions or keratin treatment?

Ask your stylist for aftercare instructions specific to your service, including washing, products, heat styling and maintenance appointments. Care requirements depend on the treatment and products used, so check before your first wash.
