Studio 2

Contact and Booking

Studio 2, 7 Coltsfoot Drive, Horsham RH12 5FN, answers the phone on 01403 255 555 every day. Callers may secure same-day appointments whenever a chair is spare. Doors stay open until 8 PM on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, while early birds are welcomed from 8 AM on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Sunday trading runs from 9 AM to 4 PM, supplying an option that many local salons skip. Visitors find a level, wheelchair-friendly entrance, free on-site parking and a calm, family-minded atmosphere. Contactless payments, cash and chip-and-PIN cards all work at reception. Children receive colouring sheets in the waiting corner, and everyone can sip complimentary tea or filtered coffee. Peak evenings fill quickly, so phoning ahead remains the safest route to the latest slot.

Three late nights suit workers needing after-office grooming, while three early starts slot neatly around the school run. The salon trades every single day, so even a spur-of-the-moment Sunday cut is possible. Public holiday hours vary and appear on notices inside the building.

Location and Access

The salon sits at number 7 Coltsfoot Drive, a quiet residential street just north of Horsham town centre. By car, leave the A264 at the Wimblehurst Road roundabout, follow Cook Road, then turn right into Coltsfoot Drive; a clearly marked driveway appears on the left. Six free customer bays, including one wider accessible space, lie directly outside the door. Route 98 buses stop at “Coltsfoot Drive”, two minutes on foot. The pavement is flush with the threshold, providing smooth access for wheelchairs, prams and walkers using mobility aids. First-time guests are wise to allow a couple of extra minutes to spot the side driveway that leads to the entrance.

About the Team

Studio 2 is an independent, community-minded hair salon staffed by multi-talented stylists, colourists and barbers. Operating for more than a decade, the team delivers inclusive, high-quality hairdressing for every age, hair type and style preference. Skills are refreshed at London academies several times a year, keeping scissor work, colour placement and texture services on trend and technically sound. The atmosphere stays friendly yet professional, reflecting the belief that great hair begins with careful listening.

Services

Cutting & Styling

Precision restyles, classic one-length cuts and tidy maintenance trims each begin with a detailed consultation and relaxing shampoo. Specialist barbering covers skin fades and beard line-ups for men. Blow-dries, big-brush volume sets and wand curls finish many visits. (from £___, 30–75 minutes).

Colour

The colour team provides everything from full-head permanent tints to painterly balayage and multi-dimensional foil highlights. Creative pastels, gloss toners and grey-blend services remain popular. A skin-sensitivity test is mandatory at least 48 hours before a first colour appointment. (from £___; allow 1½–3 hours).

Texture

Clients wanting smoother strands choose KeraStraight smoothing, which lasts up to four months and halves blow-dry time. For extra movement, traditional perm waving and modern curl-enhancement methods are available. (price on consultation, 2–3 hours).

Extensions

Tape-in, micro-ring and weft systems add length or fullness. Hair is colour-matched in advance, and the stylist explains daily care so results stay seamless. Maintenance visits are booked every six to eight weeks. (price on consultation; initial fitting 2–4 hours).

Treatment Rituals

Olaplex bond repair rebuilds damaged hair during or after colouring. A detox scrub clears product build-up on scalps, while deep-moisture masques revive thirsty ends. Stand-alone or add-on choices are available. (from £___, 15–45 minutes).

Children & Teens

Gentle shampoos, patient communication and age-appropriate styling make first haircuts fuss-free. Secondary-school clients receive advice on caring for developing curls or managing long layers. (from £___; 15–30 minutes).

Consultation and Booking Process

Every visit starts with a one-to-one consultation covering lifestyle, styling routine, colour history and maintenance expectations. The stylist drafts a personalised plan, confirms timing and estimated costs, and records notes for future reference. Appointments are recommended for chemical services and longer cuts, though walk-ins are seated whenever a chair is free. Bookings may be made by telephone, in person at reception, or through the straightforward online request form on the salon website. New colour clients must pop in for a patch test during the consultation stage. Studio 2 sends an SMS reminder or friendly phone call 24 hours before the agreed time. Evening and weekend slots disappear fastest, so advance booking is sensible.

Inside the Salon

A wide, step-free door opens to a bright reception. All public areas keep a minimum one-metre corridor, so standard wheelchairs move with ease. An accessible WC sits off the main floor. A children’s nook offers books and colouring sheets. Guests enjoy complimentary tea, freshly ground filtered coffee or chilled water, and the Wi-Fi password appears on arrival. Air-conditioning maintains comfort through hot summers and the busy December blow-dry season alike.

Travel and Parking

Drivers appreciate the on-site car park, which holds six marked bays including one wider accessible space beside the entrance ramp. At busy times, guests may park free on Coltsfoot Drive; the road is unrestricted, yet visitors should stay mindful of resident driveways. Cyclists lock bicycles to a secure two-loop rack fixed to the front wall. Taxis can pull up directly outside, and dispatchers should advise drivers to approach Coltsfoot Drive via Cook Road to avoid awkward three-point turns.

Payment Options

Studio 2 accepts Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards alongside all UK debit cards. NFC mobile services such as Apple Pay and Google Pay work at the contactless terminal. Cash remains welcome. Clients may add a gratuity to any card transaction at their discretion. Gift vouchers are sold in any amount and stay valid for 12 months, making them a popular birthday surprise.

Policies

Cancellations with at least 24-hour notice incur no fee. Less notice may attract a 50 percent charge, and arrivals more than 15 minutes late may need to rebook. Under-16s must attend with an adult, and parental consent plus a patch test are compulsory for any colour service on minors. If the finished look differs from the agreed plan, Studio 2 offers a complimentary adjustment within seven days. Guests feeling unwell are asked to rearrange; disposable masks are available on request.
