Our Hair Consultation & Colouring Process

No surprises. Only true care & certainty.

Great hair isn’t an accident — it’s a calm, unhurried collaboration between you and your stylist.

  1. 01

    We Listen & Consult You First

    Before touching your hair, we sit down with you over coffee or a cocktail and let you talk. Whether you bring ten inspiration photos or aren’t sure what you need yet, we listen to what you love, what frustrates you, and what experience you’ve had before.

  2. 02

    Honest Diagnosis & Clear Pricing

    We assess your natural root balance, hair history, and fibre health. Together, we align on the exact tone that suits your features, how it will behave in 6 and 12 weeks, and confirm your all-inclusive price upfront.

  3. 03

    Unrushed Craft & Hair Protection

    We never rush. We apply micro-sections with gentle peroxide levels, giving your hair ample time to lift safely while infusing bond-building treatments (Olaplex, Metal Detox, Genoma) and custom-blended toners.

  4. 04

    Daylight Check & Effortless Care

    We reveal your hair in natural window daylight, share honest home-care advice, and map out a simple 6–8 week gloss refresh. And because we are always on your side, if you ever feel a tone needs a tiny tweak after settling in, we adjust it warmly and free of charge.

Luxury Hair Salon Experience & Private Room

High-end craft. Feel-at-home warmth.

Stepping into a top salon shouldn’t feel intimidating. While our Gran Via atelier is designed with architectural elegance, the atmosphere inside is warm, friendly, and unpretentious.

  • Signature Hospitality Bar

    Complimentary cocktails, specialty coffees (with plant and lactose-free milks), teas, and refreshments served to your seat.

  • Lie-Flat Wash Lounge

    Unwind in our quiet backwash zone with full-recline chairs during your conditioning and toning rituals.

  • Barcelona’s Only Complete Private Room

    For guests seeking total discretion—including hijab-wearing clients, VIPs, bridal prep, or private Japanese Head Spa rituals—we offer a fully enclosed private suite upon request.

  • Dedicated Co-Working & Dining Table

    Need to work on your laptop or enjoy a proper meal with a knife and fork while your colour processes? We have a spacious table set up just for you.

I couldn’t be happier with the result — it looks amazing and incredibly natural… The entire salon experience feels exceptionally premium.

Michael always listens and knows exactly how to adjust my color to the season, the conditions, and what suits me best.

Michael was the first hair dresser who really listened and tried to make it possible – and he was successful.

Very attentive, communicative and skillful. The hair color is absolutely gorgeous…grey blending into a beautiful smoky blonde.

Frequently Asked Questiones

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions, feel free to call or whatsapp us for more.

  • How do I know which service is right for me?

    You don’t need to arrive with all the answers. Tell us what you’d like to change, what you like about your hair, and what hasn’t been working for you. We’ll listen, assess your hair, explain the options, and help you choose a service that fits your goals and the maintenance you’re comfortable with.

  • Do I need to know exactly what I want?

    Not at all. You can arrive with inspiration photos, a general idea, or simply a feeling that you’d like something different. Our consultation is there to help you understand what’s possible and decide on the right approach together.

  • What should I tell you before my appointment?

    Tell us what you’d like to achieve, your current hair colour, and any previous colouring, bleaching, or other treatments that may affect the result. Inspiration photos are helpful, too. The more we understand your hair and expectations, the better we can advise you.

  • How do I request an appointment?

    Send us an appointment request through the website or contact us on WhatsApp. Tell us which service you’re considering, what you’d like to achieve, and a little about your hair. We’ll review your request and get back to you with the next step.

    Please note: submitting a request does not confirm an appointment. Your appointment is confirmed separately by the Atelier.

  • How much will my appointment cost?

    Our service prices are transparent. We’ll explain the service we’re recommending, what’s involved, and the expected price before proceeding. We don’t want you to arrive expecting one price and discover unexpected charges or add-ons along the way.

  • What happens if I’m not happy with my result?

    Please tell us. We don’t take feedback personally, and we don’t expect you to keep quiet about something that doesn’t feel right. We’ll listen, assess what’s needed, and work with you to address it. You shouldn’t have to pay twice for the same service because something needs correcting.

  • How do I maintain my hair after the appointment?

    Maintenance depends on your hair, the service, and the result you want to keep. We’ll explain what to expect as your colour changes over time, recommend a suitable home-care routine, and advise when a refresh or a larger appointment may be needed.
