Hair Cutting in Brighton
| Cuts, Layers, Trims & Restyles
After more than 13 years behind the chair working with different hair types, textures and personalities..., I've learned that the best haircuts aren't created by following a formula. They're created by understanding the person sitting in the chair.

Bespoke Hair Cutting in Brighton
Every person's hair behaves differently.
The same haircut can look completely different depending on your hair texture, density, natural movement, growth patterns and the amount of time you want to spend styling it each day.
This is why we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.
Before cutting, we take the time to understand what you love about your hair, what frustrates you and what you would like to improve. Whether your hair feels heavy, lacks movement, struggles to hold shape or simply doesn't feel like you anymore, the right haircut can completely change how your hair works for you.
At House of Kingshott Hair Studio, hair cutting is about creating a shape that suits your lifestyle as much as your appearance.
Clients visit us from Preston Park, Fiveways, Withdean, Brighton, Hove and across Sussex because they are looking for a more personal alternative to a traditional salon experience.
Reid's Approach to Hair Cutting
After more than a decade behind the chair, I've learned that great haircuts start with listening.
Many clients come in knowing that something about their hair isn't working, but they don't always know exactly what needs changing. Sometimes the issue isn't the products they're using or the way they're styling their hair — it's the shape.
During every consultation, I look at how your hair naturally falls, where it carries weight, how it moves and how realistic your daily styling routine is.
My aim is never to create a haircut that only looks good on the day of your appointment. The goal is to create a shape that continues working for you weeks later.
Whether that means creating movement through carefully placed layers, removing unwanted weight or refining the overall shape, every decision is made with your individual hair in mind.
Why Expert Hair Cutting Makes a Difference
A professional haircut is not just about technique — it's about judgement.
Understanding how much weight to remove, where to create movement and how a haircut will grow out comes from experience working with real clients and real hair challenges every day.
At House of Kingshott Hair Studio, Preston Park in Brighton, we believe that every haircut starts with understanding the person sitting in the chair. Your hair texture, face shape, lifestyle and styling routine all play a part in creating a cut that feels natural, flattering and easy to maintain.
Whether you're looking for a simple trim, soft face-framing layers, a complete restyle or a fresh new shape, our cut and blow dry appointments are designed to leave you feeling confident long after your salon visit.
We welcome clients from Brighton, Fiveways, Hove and across Sussex who are looking for expert hair cutting in a relaxed, luxury environment where personalised advice comes as standard.
Many clients come to us feeling frustrated that their hair no longer sits quite right. It may feel heavy, lack movement, lose volume quickly or simply not reflect their current style.
In many cases, the solution isn't more styling products. It's the right haircut.
A professionally tailored haircut can completely transform how your hair behaves day to day. Carefully placed layers can create movement and softness. Removing excess weight can help hair feel lighter and more manageable. A subtle change in shape can add volume, improve balance and make styling much easier.
We often work with clients who want to keep their length while creating more shape and movement. Others are ready for a complete restyle and appreciate having an experienced stylist guide them through what will genuinely suit their features and lifestyle.
The goal is never to follow trends blindly. It's to create hair that feels like the best version of you.
Hair Problems We Help Solve
Many clients don't arrive knowing the exact haircut they want. They arrive because their hair no longer feels right.
"My hair feels flat and has no movement"
Often the solution isn't more styling products. The right haircut can create shape, balance and natural movement that makes hair easier to style.
"My haircut never seems to grow out well"
A well-designed haircut should continue working between appointments. Creating the right balance and structure helps your style evolve beautifully over time.
"I don't know what haircut suits me"
You don't need to have the perfect answer before your appointment. Our consultation is designed to help you understand what shapes, lengths and styles will work best for your hair and lifestyle.
"I want a change but I'm nervous"
A restyle should feel exciting, not overwhelming. We take the time to discuss options and create a plan that feels right for you.
Haircuts at House of Kingshott Hair Studio
Every haircut is tailored to the individual, but our cutting services include:
Precision Haircuts
Precision Haircuts
Precision cutting is about creating balance, shape and movement.
Every section of hair affects another, which is why small adjustments can make a significant difference to the finished result.
Whether creating a sharp bob, a flowing long haircut or a softer layered shape, precision allows the hair to sit naturally, feel easier to style and maintain its shape between appointments.
Layered Haircuts
From subtle, barely-there layers to more noticeable movement and face-framing shapes, layering can completely change how hair falls and feels. The right approach depends on your hair type, density and desired result.
Long Haircuts
Keeping long hair doesn't mean it has to feel heavy or shapeless. The right cut can maintain your length while introducing movement, softness and a more considered shape.
Short Haircuts & Restyles
Whether you're making a small change or ready for something completely different, a restyle begins with understanding how much change you're comfortable with and what will work with your natural hair.
Curly & Wavy Haircuts
Natural texture needs to be considered when creating shape. We look at how your curls or waves move, where your hair carries weight and how you want your finished style to look.
Men's Haircuts
Men's haircuts should work with your hair type, lifestyle and personal style. From shorter, cleaner shapes to longer styles with natural movement, the cut should be practical as well as considered.
Haircuts for Different Hair Types
Fine Hair
Fine hair often benefits from careful consideration of weight, length and layering. Removing too much weight can sometimes make hair appear less full, while the right shape can create the appearance of greater density and movement.
Thick Hair
Thick hair can carry a lot of natural weight, so the right haircut needs to create balance without losing the strength and shape of the hair. The aim is to control unwanted bulk while keeping the finished style natural and wearable.
Straight Hair
Straight hair often shows the precision of a haircut clearly. Clean lines, carefully considered layers and the right overall shape can make a significant difference to how the hair falls and moves.
Wavy Hair
Wavy hair has natural movement that can be enhanced by the right haircut. Length, layering and weight all influence how waves form, so the shape needs to work with your natural texture rather than against it.
Curly Hair
Curly hair requires an understanding of how the curl pattern, density and natural movement interact. A well-considered haircut should allow your curls to move naturally while creating a shape that suits you.
If you're unsure which haircut or shape would work best for your hair, your consultation is the place to start. We'll talk through your options before deciding on the right approach.

The House of Kingshott Hair Studio Approach
A Detailed Consultation
Every appointment begins with a conversation.
We'll discuss what you love about your hair, what frustrates you and how much time you realistically spend styling it each day. We also consider your hair texture, density, face shape and long-term goals.
Many clients bring inspiration photos, which can be incredibly useful. We'll help translate those ideas into something that works beautifully for your own hair.
Cutting
Once we've agreed on a plan, we carefully tailor our cutting techniques to your individual hair type.
Fine hair requires a different approach to thick hair. Straight hair behaves differently to naturally wavy or curly textures. Understanding those differences is what allows a haircut to grow out beautifully and remain wearable between appointments.
Whether you're choosing soft layers, a blunt cut, a long bob or a complete restyle, precision and balance are at the heart of everything we do.
The Finishing Blow Dry
Your appointment concludes with a professional blow dry designed to showcase your new cut.
This is often where clients really see the difference. The shape, movement and detail of a haircut come to life through expert styling, helping you leave the salon feeling polished and confident.
We'll also share practical advice on maintaining your style at home, including product recommendations and simple styling tips suited to your routine.
Real Hair, Real Results
Every haircut tells a story.
Some clients come to us wanting a small refinement to their existing style. Others arrive after struggling with a haircut that never quite felt right.
The most rewarding part of hairdressing is seeing someone leave feeling more confident because their haircut finally works with them rather than against them.
From creating movement in long hair to finding the right shape for natural texture, every appointment is about creating hair that feels personal.
Client Reviews
First time visiting and I had a really nice experience. Reid did my haircut today and I'm so happy with how it turned out. He was friendly, and made me feel completely at ease. Lovely salon too. I'll definitely be coming back.
—Julie WilsonJust wow!
This salon is GORGEOUS, very modern, clean and inviting, I was blown away.
Reid was a true professional, he listened to my needs and delivered to an extremely high standard. I was provided with after care, and articulated every step. My hair has never looked so good! And I even picked up a heavenly scented candle whilst I was there! An all round fantastic experience, I shall book again.
— laura cakesA relaxing first visit, just me and Reid. The salon is a well apointed, calm space. Reid and I discussed what I wanted out of a hairstyle, how much time I like to invest in daily care and styling, what would compliment my face shape, and what kinds of styles would work with my hair type. He was happy to listen to all of my input and questions, and helped me decide on what would work best for me. I'm very happy with the result, and the additional treatment with Mood products has made it lovely and soft. Thanks Reid!
— Debbie JFrequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my hair cut?
How often you need a haircut depends on your hair length, shape, texture and the result you want to maintain. Shorter styles often need more regular appointments to keep their shape, while longer hair can usually be maintained over a longer period. Layers, curls and waves can also have different maintenance needs. During your appointment, we can advise you on a schedule that suits your haircut and your hair.
Do you cut curly hair?
Yes. Curly hair needs to be approached according to its natural texture, curl pattern, density and movement. We consider how your curls behave and what you want from your finished shape before deciding how to cut them.
Do you cut wavy hair?
Yes. Wavy hair can benefit from a haircut that works with its natural movement rather than fighting against it. The right length, layering and weight distribution can help your natural waves feel more defined and balanced.
Can you help me choose a haircut?
Absolutely. You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what haircut you want. Your consultation is an opportunity to talk through your hair, lifestyle, styling routine and what you'd like to change. We can then discuss shapes and options that are realistic for your hair.
Can I bring a photograph of the haircut I want?
Yes. Photos can be very helpful when discussing a haircut. They give us a starting point for understanding what you like. We'll also consider your own hair texture, density and growth patterns, as the same haircut can look different on different hair types.
What if I'm not sure how much length I want to lose?
That's completely fine. Tell us what you're comfortable with and what you're hoping to achieve. We'll discuss the options before cutting so you feel confident about the plan.
Can you help me maintain my haircut at home?
Yes. We'll talk through how your haircut is likely to behave at home and can offer advice on styling and maintenance based on your hair and your normal routine.
How do I know which haircut will suit me?
You don't need to arrive with the perfect haircut already decided. During your consultation, we'll consider your natural hair texture, density, face shape, lifestyle and how much time you want to spend styling your hair. You can also bring photographs for inspiration, and we'll help you understand how the shape could be adapted to work with your own hair.
Do you offer consultations before a haircut?
Yes. Every haircut appointment begins with a consultation. We discuss your hair history, what you like and dislike about your current style, your daily routine and what you would like to achieve. This allows us to create a haircut that is realistic, personalised and suited to your lifestyle.
