The thick hair charge is a transparent add-on applied when your hair density, texture or length means a service requires significantly more time, product and care than the base price covers. It ensures your colour, cut or styling is completed to the same high standard, with full saturation, even coverage and a polished finish, regardless of how much hair you have.

More information

What the charge covers

When hair is very thick, dense or reaches below the shoulders, services take longer and use more product:

  • Colour work requires extra product to fully saturate all sections, plus more application and processing time for even, lasting results
  • Cutting and styling need additional sectioning, texturising and blow-dry time to achieve a balanced, finished look
  • Extensions, balayage and corrections all take longer on thick hair because of the volume of work involved

The charge is worked out during your consultation, so pricing is confirmed before your service begins. It is added as a line item, not a standalone appointment, and keeps timing and costs realistic for both you and the team.

Why transparent pricing matters

At Paris Russell in Worth, Crawley, the nine-strong team believes in clear, honest consultations. If your hair needs extra time or product, you will know upfront:

  • No surprises at the end of your appointment
  • Enough time allocated in your booking so the service is never rushed
  • Full product coverage so colour results are even and long-lasting
  • A polished, fully finished result that reflects the salon's meticulous standards

Whether you are booking full head foils, balayage, babylights, root melt or a precision cut and blow-dry, the team will assess your hair and confirm all pricing, including any thick-hair surcharge, during consultation.

Planning your appointment

If you know your hair is thick, curly or long, mention it when you book so the salon can allocate the right amount of time. Services on thick hair often run longer than average, especially for colour corrections, AirTouch highlights or detailed face framing.

Budget with the understanding that your total cost may be higher than the base menu price, but the result will be worth it: even colour, fully blended dimension and a finish that looks premium and wearable between visits. Follow any aftercare advice your stylist gives you, including product recommendations for managing dense hair at home, to keep your look fresh and healthy.
