At Lazarou Hair Salons and Barbers, we provide professional hairdressing and barbering for Afro, Afro-Caribbean, coily and tightly textured hair.
Every head of hair is different. Our approach begins with understanding your individual texture, density, shrinkage, condition, styling routine and long-term hair goals.
Whether you wear your hair naturally, cropped, stretched, defined or professionally styled, we will create a personalised plan designed around your hair.
Please contact our Riverside or Churchill Way locations before booking so we can match you with the most suitable stylist or barber. Riverside specialises primarily in Afro barbering, including cutting, shaping, tapers, fades and textured styles. Churchill Way provides ladies’ Afro and textured-hair services, including cutting, styling, colouring, treatments and professional relaxers, as well as specialist Afro barbering.
AFRO AND AFRO-CARIBBEAN HAIR CONSULTATIONS
A successful Afro hair appointment should always begin with a proper consultation.
Your stylist will assess your hair texture, curl pattern, density, shrinkage, scalp condition and previous colour or chemical treatments. We will also discuss how you normally wear your hair, your preferred finish and how much maintenance you are comfortable managing at home.
This consultation gives you the opportunity to discuss concerns such as dryness, breakage, difficult detangling, uneven shape, shrinkage or loss of curl definition.
We can then recommend the most appropriate haircut, treatment, styling method and homecare routine for your individual hair.

AFRO HAIRCUTS DESIGNED FOR DEFINITION & SHAPE
Afro, coily and tightly textured hair behaves differently when it is dry, wet, stretched or styled. The cutting technique must therefore be selected according to your natural texture and the result you want to achieve.
Our selected stylists and barbers can provide professional trims, natural Afro shaping, short textured cuts, cropped styles, restyles and personalised layering.
Your stylist may assess your hair while it is dry so they can see its natural shape, density and shrinkage before cleansing or refining the haircut.
AFRO HAIR BARBERING
Selected Lazarou barbers provide professional barbering for Afro and tightly textured hair.
Services may include Afro shaping, clipper cuts, tapers, skin fades, line-ups, short textured styles and beard grooming.
Your barber will consider your natural growth pattern, hair density, preferred finish and the amount of maintenance required between appointments.
Afro hair barbering is available at selected Lazarou locations, including our Riverside barber shop in Cardiff. Please contact the location before booking to confirm the most suitable barber.
TREATMENTS FOR AFRO AND TEXTURED HAIR
Afro and coily hair can be particularly vulnerable to dryness, tangling and breakage. The right professional treatment can help improve softness, manageability and the overall condition of the hair.
Our treatments are selected according to your hair’s individual needs rather than using the same approach for every client.
Depending on your consultation, your stylist may recommend deep conditioning, hydration, bond repair, strengthening or scalp care.
Professional treatments can help with:
-
Dry or rough-feeling hair
-
Hair affected by heat or colouring
-
Tangling and difficult detangling
-
Weak or damaged ends
-
Reduced softness and manageability
-
Frizz and loss of curl definition
-
Your stylist will also recommend suitable products and explain how to maintain your hair between salon appointments.
AFRO HAIR STYLING
The right styling method depends on your texture, your preferred finish and how you normally wear your hair.
Our styling services for Afro and textured hair may include natural definition, shaped Afro finishes, stretching, professional blow-dries, smooth finishes and styling for shorter textured hair.
Before beginning, your stylist will discuss the finish you want, the condition of your hair and whether heat will be used.
Where heat is appropriate, the temperature and technique will be selected carefully to help protect the condition of your hair.
We want your finished style to look good in the salon while also giving you practical advice for maintaining it at home.
AFRO HAIR COLOURING
Professional colour can create beautiful results on Afro and textured hair, but protecting the condition and strength of the hair must remain the priority.
Our selected colourists provide personalised consultations for clients considering highlights, dimensional colour, tonal changes, creative shades or a complete transformation.
Before recommending a colour service, your colourist will assess your hair’s current condition, previous colour history, strength, elasticity and desired result.
A skin allergy test and strand test may be required before your colour appointment.
In some cases, we may recommend a course of treatments or a more gradual colour plan to help protect the condition of your hair.
