Hairdressing Services at Josh Hair & Beauty in Croydon

Hair Colouring

Hair colouring services are designed to deliver beautiful, customised results while prioritising the health and integrity of textured & curly hair at every stage. Whether you’re looking for natural tones, creative colour, or corrective work, each service is approached with care, precision, and professional expertise.

What truly sets the experience apart is the level of thought and consideration that goes into the process. Colour appointments are never rushed. Instead, a measured approach is taken, incorporating treatments throughout to help maintain strength, moisture, and overall hair condition.

Consultation is a key part of the service. Time is taken to understand your desired outcome, assess your hair’s current condition, and determine what is realistically achievable while keeping your hair healthy. Honest guidance is always provided, and where necessary, alternative approaches are recommended to better support the long-term condition of your hair.

Where possible, the goal is to work towards your desired result in a way that protects the hair, sometimes achieving the final look over multiple sessions rather than compromising hair health in a single appointment. This ensures that the colour not only looks visually striking but also remains strong, shiny, and manageable over time.

With an experienced team guiding the process from consultation through to aftercare, each colour journey is carefully managed to achieve results that look exceptional while maintaining the long-term health of your hair.

Texture Release

Our approach to texture release is focused on long-term hair management rather than simply achieving a one-time result. We treat this service as a structured journey, carefully tailored to each client’s hair type, condition, and overall goals.

Every client begins with a detailed consultation to assess whether a texture release is truly suitable. If we feel it isn’t the right option for your hair, we will always advise honestly, as maintaining the health and integrity of your hair is our top priority.

For clients who proceed, we create a customised maintenance plan designed to support both the results and the condition of the hair over time. This may include scheduled treatments between appointments, a clear care routine to follow at home, and recommended return visits typically every 4–6 months for touch-ups, depending on your hair’s needs.

We also take the time to explain how the system works, what to expect, and how to properly maintain your hair after treatment. Our goal is not only to deliver a smooth, manageable finish, but to ensure you feel confident in caring for your hair long after you leave the salon.

With our team’s experience and ongoing support, clients benefit from a consistent, informed approach that prioritises healthy hair while achieving the desired result.

Silk Press & Styling

At Josh Hair & Beauty, a silk press is never treated as just a styling service — it’s approached as a complete hair care experience first, and styling second. Our focus is on achieving a smooth, sleek, and polished finish on natural textured hair while always protecting the integrity and long-term health of your hair.

We are highly intentional with our use of heat, ensuring it is carefully controlled and applied in a way that minimises the risk of heat damage. This is especially important for natural Afro and textured hair, where maintaining the strength and curl pattern of the hair remains a top priority throughout the process.

With over 40 years of combined experience within our senior team, clients can feel confident they are in knowledgeable and capable hands. Our approach goes beyond the appointment itself — we actively educate clients while they are in the chair, sharing practical advice on how to maintain their silk press at home, how to preserve moisture, prevent reversion, and how to plan their next steps as part of a healthy hair journey.

The result is not just a long-lasting, beautiful style, but also greater understanding of how to care for your hair between visits, supported by expert guidance tailored to your individual hair type and needs.

Hair Cuts & Styling  

Precision hair cutting is both a technical craft and a personal experience, particularly when it comes to transformational styles. At Josh Hair & Beauty, we specialise in pixie cuts for multi-textured hair, creating short hairstyles that are carefully tailored to face shape, features, and lifestyle. Each cut is designed to feel balanced, flattering, and effortless to maintain.

Popular styling options for short cuts include finger waves, tonged finishes, and softly textured looks. These styles allow for versatility while maintaining a clean, structured shape, and are executed with attention to detail by our experienced senior team.

Hair cutting is approached with both skill and sensitivity. With over 30 years of combined experience, our team ensures clients feel confident when making significant changes — whether transitioning from long hair to a short, structured pixie or refining an existing style.

What makes our approach unique is the guidance and support provided throughout the process. We take the time to understand what will suit your face shape, hair type, and daily routine, ensuring the chosen style works visually and practically. For those making a bigger change, we can introduce the transformation gradually, building confidence at every stage.

We understand that cutting hair, especially removing significant length, can be a deeply personal decision. Our goal is to create an environment where clients feel fully supported, informed, and comfortable from consultation to the final result. Many clients describe the experience as transformative not just in appearance, but emotionally — leaving the salon feeling empowered, confident, and thrilled with their new style.

Hair Treatments

Hair treatments are centred around one core principle: helping each client achieve and maintain their individual desired results. Whether the focus is on improving moisture, strengthening the hair, or supporting repair and growth, every treatment is selected and applied with purpose.

Each appointment begins with an understanding of your hair’s current condition and what you’re looking to achieve. From there, a suitable treatment plan is recommended, which may include options such as moisture treatments, emergency breakage treatments, bond-building systems like K18 and Olaplex, reconstructor repair treatments, keratin treatments, or deep conditioning mask treatments. In some cases, a treatment may also be paired with a styling service to maximise results in a single visit.

While structured treatment packages are currently in development, the overall approach remains focused on personalised care. The aim is to create clear, tailored treatment plans that include ongoing maintenance schedules and guidance on what your hair needs between appointments.

What sets the experience apart is the level of continued support provided beyond the salon visit. Clients receive advice on aftercare, along with product recommendations designed to help maintain strength, hydration, and overall hair health at home. Where needed, follow-up guidance is also available to ensure progress is consistent and results are sustained over time.

This approach ensures that treatments are not just one-off services, but part of a longer-term plan to improve and maintain the health and condition of the hair, with expert support at every stage.

Braids & Extensions

Braiding is one of our most highly requested services, performed with precision, attention to detail, and in a clean, professional, and relaxing salon environment. From classic braids and intricate cornrows to locs and protective styles, each look is created with care to ensure a neat, long-lasting, and polished finish.

For clients looking to enhance their look further, we offer full-service extensions, including wigs, bundles, and weaves. This means you can have your hair braided down, hair installed, styled, and maintained — all in one appointment. Wig services include professional washing, restyling, and ongoing upkeep to keep your look polished and long-lasting.

Our “one-stop shop” approach is a key differentiator. Clients can arrive as they are and leave with a complete, high-quality transformation, without needing to visit multiple providers. We can source high-quality hair, customise colour, install it professionally, and provide ongoing styling and maintenance — all under one roof with consistent standards of excellence.

Braiding services combine technical skill with a premium salon experience often missing in traditional settings. Clients also have the option to combine braiding with washes, treatments, and trims to maintain the health and condition of their hair while achieving a flawless finish.

Whether it’s braids, extensions, wigs, or weaves, every service is tailored to the client’s hair type, lifestyle, and desired look. The experience is designed to feel seamless, efficient, and premium, leaving clients confident, comfortable, and thrilled with their transformation.

Afro Hair Relaxers

Relaxers are designed to straighten Afro and multi-textured hair, softening the natural curl pattern to create a smoother, more manageable finish. When professionally applied, they can transform the day-to-day styling experience, making hair easier to maintain while achieving a sleek, polished look.

A relaxer works by carefully altering the natural structure of the hair, allowing curls and coils to loosen into a straighter pattern. The result is hair that feels smoother, tangles less, and is quicker to style. For many clients, this can significantly reduce the time and effort needed to manage their hair on a daily basis.

Every service begins with a consultation. This allows us to assess your hair type, condition, and lifestyle before recommending whether a relaxer is the right option for you. Honest advice is always given, ensuring your hair health remains the priority at every stage.

Maintenance is also an important part of the process. As new growth comes through, retouch appointments are typically recommended every 6–8 weeks, although this can vary depending on your hair and how you prefer to manage it. We’ll guide you on the best schedule and aftercare routine to keep your hair strong, healthy, and consistently looking its best.

For those who want a straighter finish without long-term commitment, alternatives such as a silk press can also be discussed during your consultation. This ensures you have a clear understanding of all available options before deciding what works best for you.
