The salon: arched mirror, rose velvet chair, brass and plants
The salon

Three chairs. Never four.

Fringe Theory is deliberately small. Three chairs means your stylist isn't juggling you with two other heads, the music stays at conversation level, and nobody's waving a card machine at you mid-rinse.

Walk-ins welcome when a chair's free. Realistically: book.

The shelf

We stock what we actually use.

One shelf, not a shop. Everything on it gets used at the basin daily, which is the whole quality test. If your stylist recommends something, it's because your hair asked for it, not because there's a sales target.

Run out? Message us and we'll put one aside.
