Example site by North Shore Digital — Sable Hair Studio is fictional. Everything on it works.

Three chairs.
No rush.

A small studio on Victoria Avenue in Hout Bay village. We book longer slots than most salons, publish every price, and will tell you honestly when a colour won't suit you.

Why here

What's different about us

Longer slots

We book more time than we need. It costs us clients on a Saturday and we've decided we don't mind.

Published prices

Every service, every price, on this page. You'll never be surprised at the till.

No upselling

We'll tell you what we used on your hair. We won't chase you with it at the counter.

Nothing taken off the top

Book direct and no platform takes a commission. That's why we can hold our prices.

The chairs

Who'll be doing your hair

Three of us, and you can ask for whoever you like when you book.

Reviews

What people say

Illustrative only — Sable is a fictional salon built to demonstrate a real website.

Booked it at eleven at night from bed. Nobody phoned me back, and nobody needed to.
Google review
Nina talked me out of the colour I asked for. She was completely right and I've said so ever since.
Google review
First salon in years that didn't try to sell me three products on the way out.

Questions

Things people ask

Do I need to pay a deposit?
Not for a regular appointment. Colour corrections and bridal need 50% up front because they hold a long slot, and we'll tell you that when we confirm.
What if I need to cancel?
Message us before 5pm the day before and it's no problem at all. Same-day cancellations we charge half, because the chair stays empty and someone else wanted it.
Can I ask for a particular stylist?
Yes — pick them when you book. If they're not in on the day you want, the booking form will only show you days they're actually working.
Do you do men's cuts?
We do, and it's the same price list. A dry trim or a cut and finish depending on what you're after.
What products do you use?
Ammonia-free colour and sulphate-free care. We'll happily tell you exactly what went on your hair. We won't chase you with it at the counter.
What happens during load-shedding?
Nothing. We're on an inverter — dryers, lights and the card machine all keep running, so your appointment stands.

How we handle your details

When you book we receive your name, your mobile number, and the appointment you've chosen. Nothing else.

We use it to hold your slot and to message you if something changes. We keep it for twelve months so we know your colour history when you come back, and then it's deleted. We don't sell it, share it or add you to a mailing list.

  • Bookings reach us over WhatsApp, so WhatsApp's own privacy terms apply to the message itself.
  • This website sets no cookies and runs no tracking or analytics.
  • You can ask what we hold on you, or ask us to delete it, at any time.
