Evening Hair Appointments in Luton: Where to Get Your Hair Done After Work

If you work full time and need your hair done after work in Luton, your realistic windows are Tuesday and Wednesday, when we stay open until 8pm. Thursday runs until 6, which works if you can slip away a little early. That is the honest answer. Here is how to actually make an evening slot work for you.

The short version

Latest appointments are Tuesday and Wednesday, with the chair free until 8pm.

Last colour booking is usually around 6pm. Last blow dry around 7.

We are closed Sundays and Mondays, so plan after-work visits midweek.

Colour clients need a patch test at least 48 hours before the appointment.

Evening slots get booked one to two weeks ahead. They go first.

Which evenings we actually run late

Our hours are built around when people can realistically get here. We open at 10 and close at 8 on Tuesday and Wednesday, 6 on Thursday, 3 on Friday, and 4:30 on Saturday. So if you finish at 5 or 5:30, Tuesday and Wednesday are your two clean options for a proper appointment with time to spare.

Thursday until 6 still works for a quick blow dry or a fringe trim if you can leave work by half four. Friday and Saturday fill up with people who are off or finishing early, so those are harder to grab last minute. I would not count on a Saturday evening, we are done by 4:30.

What you can realistically get done after work

A blow dry takes about 45 minutes and costs £28 to £35, so a 7pm finish is easy on a Tuesday or Wednesday. A curly blow dry is £30 to £38 and needs a similar window. A cut and finish is £42 to £55 and runs around an hour, so aim for a 6:30pm start at the latest.

Colour is where evenings get tight. A full balayage is £70 to £85 and can take two and a half to three hours, so it will not fit into a single after-work slot starting at 6. A half balayage at £55 to £65, a root tint at £40 to £47, or a toner at £35 to £40 are more realistic for a late booking. Ashleigh, Keira, Sabrina and Shree all take evening clients, so you are not waiting on one person’s diary.

The patch test catch nobody mentions

Here is the bit that catches people out. If you are having any colour and you have not been in for a while, you need a patch test at least 48 hours before. That is not us being awkward. Hair dye can cause an allergic skin reaction called contact dermatitis, and the test is the only way to check before we put colour near your scalp. The NHS guidance on contact dermatitis explains why this matters and what a reaction looks like.

Practically, that means your evening colour appointment needs a five minute visit two days earlier, or we post you a test kit. Plan for it. Turning up at 6pm for colour with no patch test on file means we cannot do it that night, and nobody wants that drive home.

Booking evening hair appointments in Luton before they go

Evening slots are the first to disappear, usually a week or two out. The people who get them are the ones who book ahead and keep the same recurring slot. If you find a Tuesday 6pm that works, rebook it before you leave the chair and it is yours every six weeks.

You can book online any time, or call us on 01582 730381 during opening hours and one of the girls will sort you out. If you are flexible on stylist you will get in faster. If you want a specific person, give us more notice.

Finding us after work

We are at Shop 660, Jansel House, Hitchin Road, Stopsley, Luton LU2 7XH. Easy to reach if you are coming off work from town or the business parks, and there is parking close by, which matters when it is dark and you have had a long day. Closed Sundays and Mondays, open from 10 the rest of the week. Book online or call 01582 730381 and we will find you a slot that fits around your work, not the other way round.
