Get The Right Look With A Consultation at Leah Durrant Salon in Chertsey
When it comes to transforming your hair, one thing matters more than anything else: the consultation. Whether you're dreaming of a bold new colour, a fresh haircut, or longer, fuller hair, a detailed consultation is the foundation of achieving a look you’ll truly love.
At Leah Durrant, we believe that great hair doesn’t happen by chance - it’s created through understanding, expertise, and collaboration.
No two clients are the same, which is why every consultation is tailored to you. We take the time to listen, advise, and create a personalised plan that suits your style, routine, and hair goals.
A consultation is much more than a quick chat before your appointment. It’s your opportunity to communicate your vision, and for your stylist to assess what’s realistically achievable while keeping your hair in the best possible condition.
During your consultation, we’ll consider:
Your face shape and features
Hair type, texture, and condition
Your lifestyle and maintenance preferences
Previous colour history
Your long-term hair goals
This ensures your new style not only looks amazing when you leave the salon, but continues to work for you every day. Book your consultation online or call us on 01932 563 390.

Avoiding Hair Disasters
Miscommunication is one of the biggest reasons clients leave salons feeling disappointed. A thorough consultation helps avoid this by aligning expectations from the start.
We’ll explain what’s possible in one appointment, whether your inspiration photo suits your hair type, how to maintain your look at home, and the upkeep required for colour or extensions.
Honesty is key - we’ll always guide you towards what will suit you best.
Consultations for Colour Transformations
Thinking of going lighter, darker, or trying something completely new? Colour changes can be complex, especially if you’ve had previous treatments.
A consultation allows us to:
Plan the safest way to achieve your desired colour
Schedule multiple appointments if needed
Carry out any necessary tests
Recommend treatments to maintain hair health
This is especially important for balayage, blonding, or colour corrections.
Complimentary Consultations for Hair Extensions & Keratin Treatments
We also offer complimentary consultations for:
Hair Extensions – perfect if you’re looking to add length, volume, or both
Keratin Treatments – ideal for smoothing, taming frizz, and improving manageability
During these consultations, we’ll assess your hair, discuss your goals, colour match (for extensions), and explain the process in detail so you feel confident moving forward.
