Looking forward to my next visit when i need my roots topped up. Can an also say thank you to Amy who was on hand when lauren asked for advice snd Olivia for your final check over. It’s great to see a happy team working together to ensure the customers leave happy with their hair.

    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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your approach to precision cutting?
I take time to understand each client’s hair type, face shape, and lifestyle before cutting. My goal is to create a style that not only looks great but is manageable between appointments.
How far in advance should I book an appointment with you?
I’m often booked several weeks ahead. I recommend rebooking at the end of each visit to secure your preferred time.
What services do you specialise in at Cruz Hairworks?
My focus is precision cutting, restyling, and working closely with clients looking for a more bespoke, expert-led salon experience in Whitley Bay.
Can I bring inspiration photos to my appointment?
Absolutely. Bringing photos can help guide our conversation and ensure we’re aligned on your desired result – though I’ll always tailor the final style to suit you personally.
