Introduction

Created as a contemporary boutique hair salon, Palette & Bristle offers a more considered approach to hair dressing. Every appointment is shaped around you, combining technical expertise, personalised consultations and a genuine passion for beautiful, wearable hair.

With over 20 years of experience in luxury haircare, David leads an experienced team of specialists known for creating bespoke colour and transformation services. Clients visit from across Hove, Brighton and London for our expertise in grey blending, balayage, blonde colour and hair extensions.

Whether you're looking for subtle enhancement or a complete change, your hair is approached with care, precision and attention to detail. The result is hair that not only looks exceptional when you leave the salon, but continues to look beautiful in the weeks and months that follow.

Our Specialism

 

Grey blending specialists

Grey blending is our signature service.

Using advanced colour placement and bespoke toning techniques, we create soft, seamless transitions that complement natural grey hair while reducing the appearance of harsh regrowth lines. The result is natural-looking colour with a softer grow-out and a more effortless maintenance routine.

 

Blonde & Balayage Specialists

From bright, dimensional blondes to lived-in balayage, every colour service is tailored to your individual style, skin tone and lifestyle.

Our specialist team focuses on creating beautifully balanced colour that feels modern, wearable and uniquely yours. Whether you're maintaining your signature blonde or looking for a complete colour refresh, every detail is carefully considered.

 

Hair Extensions

Our award-winning extension services are designed for clients looking to add volume, length or enhanced colour dimension.

Using premium techniques and carefully selected hair, we create seamless, natural-looking results that blend beautifully with your own hair. Every extension consultation is tailored to ensure the finished look feels comfortable, flattering and completely bespoke.

The Experience

At Palette & Bristle, we prioritise quality over volume.

Our premium hair salon has been designed to feel calm, spacious and quietly luxurious, offering a more personal alternative to traditional high-turnover salons. From the moment you arrive, you'll enjoy a welcoming environment where your appointment never feels rushed.

Clients choose Palette & Bristle not only because we are a trusted and reliable hairdresser, but because of the experience itself. Unhurried appointments, honest advice and professional expertise allow you to relax while knowing your hair is in experienced hands.

We believe exceptional hair begins with understanding the individual sitting in the chair. That's why every service starts with a detailed consultation, ensuring your colour, cut or styling is tailored to your goals, routine and long-term hair journey.
