Examples of our Treatments
If you’re unsure what your next hairstyle should look like, be inspired by some of our treatments below.
Cut and Blow Dry
Your hair will be washed and conditioned, followed by cutting using methods that suit your desired result.
Your hair will then finished with a luxury blow dry and/or other styling techniques.
Balayage
Balayage is a technique where hair colour is painted onto the hair to create a graduated, more natural-looking highlight effect.
Balayage continues to be a dominant trend in the hair industry, and is a very popular treatment in UK Salons.
Deep Conditioning
Our deep conditioning treatment is a procedure in which your hair is coated and treated with nourishing products.
This will restore your hair’s moisture, strengthens it and reduces any damage caused by chemicals.
Hair Colouring
If you fancy a change of colour in your life, we offer several options.
These include Whole Head Tints, which are a temporary way to change your hair colour, lasting around 4-12 weeks.

Salon Disclaimer
At East Kent Colleges Group, we are committed to providing a welcoming and positive experience for all our salon clients.
Our salons, located across our campuses in Ashford, Broadstairs, Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone, and Sheppey, offer a unique environment where our hair and beauty students gain valuable hands-on experience by delivering treatments to members of the public. These services are carried out under the close guidance of qualified industry professionals.
While we strive to maintain high standards of service, we kindly remind you that these are training salons. As such, we ask for your understanding and support in the following:
Services are provided by students in training and may not replicate the experience of an established commercial salon.
Appointments may occasionally need to be rescheduled or cancelled at short notice due to training requirements or unforeseen circumstances.
Treatment times may take longer than in commercial salons, as students are developing their skills under supervision.
Results may not always fully meet your expectations; however, we will do our best to address any concerns at the time or offer a follow-up appointment where appropriate.
At EKC Group, we also value freedom of opinion and speech. However, to ensure a respectful and inclusive environment for all clients, students, and staff, we kindly ask that all language used in the salon remains courteous and appropriate at all times.
Your support is vital in helping our students build their confidence, refine their techniques, and succeed in their future careers. Thank you for being a part of their learning journey.
