Wyatt is a sustainable beauty salon with an appetite for daring do’s.

We believe that beauty should be sustainable. And this informs everything we do. It’s why we recycle. It’s why we source eco-friendly products that are made to last longer, so you use less. And it’s why we’ve built a space not only designed to promote an oxygen-rich atmosphere, but also creative inspiration. 

Like our space, our styles are designed to be simple yet striking, contemporary yet elegant, and above all, to inspire confidence. Whether it’s styling one of the angular, high-fashion works of art for which we’re renowned, or doing ‘just a trim’ the intention is always the same: identity. A cut that is definitively you, and a distinct style that creates the perfect frame for your natural beauty. 

We offer a unique hairdressing experience. And it’s unique in two ways. The first is that all cutting, colouring and styling is executed through our own Vitruvian technique that uses concepts like the Golden Ratio of body proportions to determine ideal cutting lines and colouring sections. And the second is our relaxed approach. We’d like you to take your time sipping on a fresh coffee while we take ours creating a look tailored specifically to you.

Since relocating to our bigger, brighter space we now accommodate a full range of on-site barbering and gentlemen’s grooming services. All, of course, performed to the same impeccable standard of distinguished detail and finish expected of any appointment at Wyatt. 

The Wyatt Academy offers a unique form of education and skill development.
