Thoughtful haircraft rooted in daylight and honest consultation
Fernway & Slate is built around a simple belief: you should leave loving how your hair looks today, and love it even more eight weeks from now, when it still feels soft, glossy and easy to manage.
The salon sits on the ground floor of a Cushman Street building, with tall windows that let colour be formulated in natural daylight and four chairs where the room could have held six. That spare space lets a colour service and a cut run side by side without either being hurried.
Colour here is treated as careful chemistry: gentle developers paired with bond rebuilders, mineral chelators that clear hard-water build-up before lightening, and pH-balanced acid glosses that seal the cuticle smooth. Pushing hair lighter than it safely wants to go in one afternoon is how breakage happens, so a stylist who thinks a request will not hold says so while there is still time to choose something else.
Our three promises to every guest
-
Upfront price clarity
You always receive an exact quote during your chair consultation, before any colour is mixed or a treatment begins. The figure confirmed then is the figure at the desk.
-
Bond repair included, never upsold
Every lightening and highlight service includes bond protection and a custom gloss. Hair integrity is never treated as an optional extra.
-
Wearable home styling guidance
Your stylist shows you how to recreate the look in ten minutes at home, without pushing a shelf full of products you do not need.

Step 4
Appointment and aftercare
You leave with healthy, touchable movement and a clear timeline for when you actually need a gloss refresh or a trim.
Guarantees, recycling and booking
Every cut and colour comes with a complimentary 10-day adjustment if a tone or fringe needs fine-tuning, and over 90% of the salon’s foils, colour tubes and hair clippings go to specialised recycling rather than landfill. Appointment requests are welcome any time, and the salon confirms each date directly.
