Hair Cutting & Styling, Colour, Balayage & Hair Extensions & Smoothing Experts
Hair that feels like you, in a salon that feels like home.
Cruz Hairworks has been part of Whitley Bay for years, built on one simple idea: that a great hair appointment should leave you feeling looked after, not just styled.
Our team takes the time to listen, whether you are coming in for a trim, a full colour, or something completely new. We work with L'Oréal Professional, Joico and GHD, and every visit is shaped around you.
What we do..
Cutting and Styling
Our stylists specialise in precision cutting and personalised styling. From consultation to finish, we tailor every detail to suit your hair, face shape, and lifestyle. Using L’Oréal Professional and GHD, we deliver healthy, beautifully styled results with lasting impact.
Hair Colouring
We have colour experts offering both permanent and non-permanent options to suit your style. Whether you're covering greys or trying a fresh new shade, we use trusted brands like L’Oréal Professional and Joico to keep your hair healthy, shiny, and beautifully coloured with lasting or low-commitment results.
Highlights
We offer tailored highlights that add brightness, dimension, and movement. Whether you prefer natural tones or bold contrast, we use L’Oréal Professional and Joico to protect your hair while enhancing your style with radiant, healthy-looking colour.
Balayage
Balayage services create a soft, sun-kissed finish with natural depth and dimension. Using a freehand technique and premium products by L’Oréal and Joico, we achieve a seamless blend that’s low-maintenance, healthy, and beautifully tailored to you.
Hair Extensions
At Cruz Hairworks, our hair extensions add instant length, volume, and fullness with a natural finish. We colour-match and blend each set for seamless results, using high-quality extensions for comfort and shine. Perfect for enhancing your style or transforming your look with ease.
Conditioning and Moisturising
Uur conditioning treatments deeply hydrate and strengthen dry or damaged hair. Using premium Joico and L’Oréal products, we target your hair’s unique needs restoring softness, reducing frizz, and enhancing shine. Ideal for all hair types, this is care your hair will truly feel.

What our clients say...
“My first visit and I’m so impressed! Chloe was professional, kind, and really took the time to listen. I felt comfortable throughout, and I’m thrilled with my colour and cut. I’ll definitely be back!”
“I'm really pleased with my cut. Andrew did a fantastic job. He offered thoughtful advice on repairing the damage from over-colouring at home and removed all the dry, broken ends. My hair feels so much healthier and looks beautifully refreshed.”
“A superb wash and condition, such an important step that’s often overlooked. I’m so pleased with my hair: the cut is fabulous, it looks healthy, and the shine is beautiful. I always enjoy coming here for styling; the team is warm, and the results never disappoint. Thank you, Mark.”

Hair Extensions in Whitley Bay
Thinking about hair extensions? Here is what you need to know.
Whether you want more length, extra volume, or a confidence boost for a special occasion, extensions can be genuinely transformative when they are done well. In this guide, Senior Stylist Andrew Clark-Ormston walks you through the options available at Cruz Hairworks, what to expect at your appointment, and how to look after your extensions once you have them.
Balayage or Highlights?
Balayage or highlights? It is one of the questions we get asked most at Cruz.
Both techniques can look beautiful, but they work differently and suit different lifestyles. Salon Owner Mark Murray breaks down the key differences, helps you figure out which one suits your hair and how much upkeep you are happy to manage, and explains why sometimes the answer is actually a little of both.
What Are Half Head Highlights
Want brighter hair without a full colour commitment? Half head highlights could be the answer.
They are one of the most popular colour services at Cruz for good reason. Manager Olivia Murray explains exactly what half head highlights are, who they suit, and how to know whether they are the right choice for your hair and lifestyle.
