New Talent Colourist

Felix Arden

New Talent

"Two colourists look at every formula I mix. You're getting four eyes for the price of two."

Felix is the newest name on our board and the reason Tuesday colour appointments are suddenly hard to get. He apprentices directly under Noor — she formulates beside him, checks every foil placement, and signs the toner before it touches your hair.

He's methodical to a fault (his colour notes read like lab reports), which is exactly what you want in the person lightening your hair. Book him for balayage at New Talent pricing while the getting is good; his mentor gives it a year.

  • Balayage (mentored by Noor)
  • Gloss & toner refreshes
  • Bond & repair treatments
  • Root retouches
