In the mood for a change or a refresh? Whether you are after a quick refresh, such as a quick trim or tidy up, or something a bit more bold, a ladies’ cut and finish is a fantastic choice. 

At Rush, one of our expert stylists will be happy to take the time to understand your style, hair type and lifestyle to customise a tailored experience.

What is a Ladies’ Cut & Finish?

A ladies’ cut and finish is a complete hair service that includes a consultation, washing, cutting, and styling. Whether you are looking for a subtle refresh or a complete transformation, this service can be adapted to suit both and provides a full refresh from the roots to the ends.

The service also includes a blow dry for added volume, shine and smoothness, leaving hair looking healthy and beautiful. 

The Benefits of a Ladies’ Cut & Finish

A ladies’ cut and finish can offer a completely customised style refresh. Your Rush stylist will design a cut that will not only enhance your natural features but also take into account additional factors such as your hair type. From hair that is straight and fine, or curly and coily, our stylists are expertly trained in techniques for every hair texture.

A well-executed cut will leave your hair looking polished and easy to style and maintain daily. Additionally, by removing split ends, hair will look healthier and grow stronger, especially when regularly maintained.

Ladies’ Cut & Finish vs. Trim

Ladies’ Cut & Finish

A ladies’ cut and finish is a more tailored option and is a go-to service for anyone seeking a transformation and a fresh new look. The service includes a shape, style, and a polished finish. 

Trim

A trim, by comparison, is more focused on maintenance. It removes split ends and helps to retain your current style without changing the overall look and shape.

Key Considerations When Choosing a Ladies’ Cut & Finish

Hair Type

Your hair’s natural texture will play an important part in how your cut and finish will sit. At Rush, our stylists are experts in working with and understanding how to work with every hair type. For example, fine and straighter hair types may benefit from blunt cuts or light layers, while thicker, wavy or curlier hair types will likely have a more voluminous and textured finish with layers.

Your Rush stylist will be able to adapt to suit your individual hair types and needs, ensuring the best results and a manageable style.

Face Shape

Your face shape will also play a role in tailoring your cut and finish. Again, a Rush stylist will be able to advise and adapt your look to enhance your unique face shape. Different face shapes will benefit from specific cuts and styles that will best enhance their features. 

Oval Shaped Faces: Considered a versatile shape that will suit a variety of styles, this could include shorter and longer styles, as well as layers and different types of fringes. 

Round-shaped Faces: Longer styles with layers or styles with lots of volume are great options for elongating the face.

Square-Shaped Faces: Soft, wavy styles or face-framing bobs will soften the jawline and create a more balanced look.

Heart-Shaped Faces: Sideswept bangs or chin-length bob can help to balance the forehead and emphasise the cheekbones.

Lifestyle and Maintenance

It is important to choose a style that fits in with your routine. For example, if you prefer a low-maintenance option, textured bobs, which are more about a relaxed appearance, will be a good choice. If you like to experiment with styling, styles that focus on longer layers may be a good fit.

The Benefits of Regular Trims for Maintaining Your Cut

To keep your cut looking healthy, regular trims every 6-8 weeks are key to maintaining the shape of the cut and promoting strong and healthy hair growth. Additionally, regular trims will ensure your style stays fresh, with less chance of split ends, as well as more volume. Consistency and keeping up with regular trims also help to avoid uneven ends and overall maintain a healthier look with hair that is full of shine and vitality.

How to Care for Your Cut & Finish

Use Quality Products

Use sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners, this will help maintain the health and shine of the hair, as well as nourish and protect it. 

Protect from Heat Damage

Always apply a heat-protecting product before blow drying or styling with any heat tools; this will shield the hair and keep it looking smooth.

Keep Up with Regular Trims

Regular trims every 6-8 weeks are key to ensuring the cut remains fresh, healthy,  and well-shaped.

Styling Tips for Your Ladies’ Cut & Finish

Looking for tips to maintain that ‘Just left the salon’ look? 

Straight Styles

Use a rounded brush right at the roots when blow-drying to ensure the style doesn’t look flat. For styling, apply a heat protectant and use straighteners to achieve a smooth and sleek look. 

Soft Waves

To maintain a soft, wavy cut, it is best to style with a curling iron and focus on texture to enhance definition, making it look fuller and natural.

Accessories such as hair clips and headbands can be a stylish addition and enhance the overall look.

How Much Does a Ladies’ Cut & Finish Cost?

At Rush, a ladies’ Cut and finish starts at £62. However, prices may vary depending on factors such as:

  • Hair length and thickness
  • Additional styling or blow-drying
  • Salon location
  • Stylist level
