V&V Business Review – An Update

During our last chat, I mentioned that, in line with all other businesses, our costs have risen considerably through 2026, which has forced us to review the price of the services we provide to you.

However, we were keen to minimise any price increase and so, rather than just calculate a simple percentage increase, we decided to review our entire operation with two objectives in mind:

1. Minimise any potential percentage increase.

2. Expand our range of services and, in the process, add tangible value to you, our clients.

So—taking these issues in turn—Cutting services will increase by 3.5%. Colour services, however, are more directly affected by rising product and operational costs, so these will see an average increase closer to 6%.

As to services, in addition to what I’ll call our ‘standard’ offerings, we have created a range of composite or ‘Packaged’ services, each of which is designed to meet specific client requirements because everyone has different needs.

Some want a more consistent and simple way to maintain their hair. Others want to improve the condition, longevity, or finish of their hair between visits—and sometimes your hair just needs something more targeted to get it back on track.

In addition to our current services, we have added a range of service ‘Packages’ designed to give you simple ways to address issues that are specific to you, from fixing problems to spoiling yourself just because you can!

We are still in the process of finalising the new service menu, but it will look something like this:

YOUR HAIR. YOUR PLAN.

THE ESSENTIALS

If you’re happy with your hair and simply need maintenance, this is your space.

For those who like to keep things simple, our core services are designed to maintain your hair with consistency, care, and expert attention.

• Cut & Finish

• Blow Dry

• Colour Services

• Highlights & Balayage

THE BOOST

If you want better-feeling hair for longer—while getting great value—this is your space.

Each Boost includes both an in-salon treatment and professional home care, meaning the results last well beyond your appointment. These are offered at £22 (when purchased separately, the RRP is £32).

Add a targeted Boost to any Essential appointment for hair that not only looks better in the salon—but feels better long after you leave.

• Shine Boost: For dull, tired hair. Enhances gloss, softness, and overall finish. Includes in-salon treatment and take-home gloss care.

• Volume Boost: Adds lift, body, and movement to fine or flat hair. Includes in-salon volume treatment and take-home volumising product.

• Repair Boost: For dry, weakened, or damaged hair. Rebuilds strength and reduces breakage. Includes in-salon strengthening treatment and take-home repair mask.

THE RESCUE

If you feel like “nothing is working with my hair anymore,” this is your space.

These services are designed to fix the most common frustrations we hear in the salon. Each begins with a comprehensive consultation so we can fully understand your hair and create the right plan together.

• Grow My Hair: For hair that feels slow-growing, fragile, or prone to breakage.

• Focus: Supporting healthy growth, strengthening the hair fibre, and providing internal/external nourishment.

• Includes: In-salon anti-breakage treatment, reshape haircut, personalised growth plan, home care guidance, and supplements.

• Hair Detox: For hair and scalp that feel congested, heavy, or out of balance.

• Focus: Deep cleansing, scalp reset, and restoring softness and shine.

• Includes: In-salon detox treatment, haircut, personalised home care guidance, and a take-home Davines Circle mask.

• Hair Recovery: For hair that is damaged, over-processed, or weakened by heat styling.

• Focus: Repairing internal damage, rebuilding strength, and restoring elasticity.

• Includes: In-salon bond-building treatment, restorative haircut, personalised home care guidance, and a take-home Davines Circle mask.

THE SALON RESET

If you’re ready for a complete change with no limits, this is your space.

Immerse yourself in a full hair transformation—time, care, and expertise dedicated entirely to you.

• Includes: Full consultation, colour, cut, treatment, styling education, and take-home products.

So, that’s the extent of the changes we propose. The new standard prices will be introduced from April 1st, and the Packages will launch two weeks after that, so look out for them on our website.

Our sole aim has been to deliver a wider range of more relevant services and, in the process, deliver even better value for money. We hope you agree and look forward to any thoughts you may have either before or after launch.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming you in soon.
