Treatment highlights

Please note: prices are a starting point and are subject to change following your consultation and depending on your preferred stylist.

Useful info

Every price includes a free 10 minute consultation.

Prices vary by stylist. These are the lowest published for each service.

Colour is booked with a blow dry or a cut and finish. New colour clients book a consultation first.

Do I need a skin allergy test?

If you are a new client and are having your first colour treatment with us, we will require you to have a skin allergy test at least 48 hours prior to your colour service. We can carry out this quick test at your complimentary consultation.

Existing clients will also need a quick allergy test if it has been 3 months since your last colour treatment with us.

Unfortunately we will not be able to carry out any colour service without a skin test.

Is there anything to do before a colour appointment?

If you are having a colour service with us please could you ensure that your hair is free from residue before you attend your appointment.

Residue can form from many products, for example a hair mask, conditioner, root touch up spray or an oil treatment.

Residual products can act as a barrier to the colour and may affect your treatment, and we may not be able to provide your colour service.

In their words

What our clients say

Rated five out of five.

All the staff at Escape are friendly, welcoming and professional. Jo always does a fantastic cut for my short style. I go every six weeks and have done for many years. Highly recommend Escape.

Rated five out of five.

I had Izzy do my hair today and she did a fantastic job. She is the only hairdresser I trust and she does a fabulous job at colouring, cutting, blow drying and styling plus more. Salon gorgeous, it’s always neat and tidy, they use high end products and really take their time with their clients. Could not recommend this salon enough.

Rated five out of five.

New to the area, this was my first appointment at this salon. What a lovely place. Izzy and Jo couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. They listened to my indecisive ramblings and helped me decide on a colour. The result was amazing, I love it, thank you.

The salon

Strensall by choice

The perception is that out of town cannot be as cutting edge as a city centre address. Escape has been answering that since 2006, with a national awards shortlisting, Best in Class on Fresha and more than fifteen hundred five star reviews. What a city centre takes in rent, Jo puts into training and keeping a team to deliver an exceptional service to you, which is why so many of our clients have been coming for years.

Salon owner and cutting expert

Hi, I’m Jo. I opened Escape in July 2006. My ultimate skill is the hair cut, developed from years of experience coupled with professional training and a natural passion for my craft.

Escape is an extension of my home, so I want you to feel relaxed, fulfilled and have fun. I am a perfectionist and want to provide my guests with the very best haircut, colour and style that you can manage at home and that suits your lifestyle. I love that you feel it’s time out for you while you’re in our lovely salon, and it’s my ultimate aim for you to feel this way.
