The start of a new year is the perfect time to reset, and for many clients, that begins with their hair. At Peter Gotthard Hairdressing, we focus on thoughtful changes that feel modern, manageable, and tailored to you. Whether you are considering a fresh cut, a subtle colour update, or smoother, more controlled hair, our experienced team will guide you towards a look that feels right now and continues to look good as it grows.
What are the best haircut choices for a New Year refresh?
A new haircut can instantly change the shape, movement, and overall feel of your hair. At Peter Gotthard Hairdressing, we focus on cuts that suit your face shape, natural texture, and everyday routine rather than short-lived trends.
Soft layered haircuts
Soft, modern layers add movement and remove excess weight while keeping length intact. This style works particularly well for hair that feels flat or heavy and suits both fine and thicker hair types.
Precision bobs and long bobs
A bob or long bob offers a clean, polished finish that is easy to maintain. It is a great option if you want structure and definition without spending too much time styling at home.
Which hair colours feel fresh but natural?
You do not need a dramatic colour change to feel refreshed. Small adjustments to tone, placement, or shine can make a noticeable difference while keeping your look natural and wearable.
Balayage remains a popular choice thanks to its soft blend and low-maintenance regrowth. Refreshing your existing balayage or adding lighter tones around the face can brighten your look while keeping appointments comfortably spaced.
Rich brunettes, soft blondes, and subtle dimension through the mid-lengths and ends are ideal for clients looking for a polished but relaxed finish.
What is Fabriq hair smoothing and who is it best for?
Fabriq hair smoothing, previously known as Kerastraight, is a professional in-salon treatment designed to reduce frizz, improve manageability, and leave hair smoother, shinier, and easier to style.
At Peter Gotthard Hairdressing, Fabriq hair smoothing is ideal for clients with frizzy, coarse, curly, or unruly hair, as well as those who want to reduce daily styling time. The treatment works by strengthening the hair structure and smoothing the cuticle, without leaving hair flat or lifeless.
Results can last up to four months, making Fabriq a great choice if you are looking for longer-lasting smoothness rather than a short-term fix.
Why a professional salon consultation matters
Every appointment at Peter Gotthard Hairdressing begins with a detailed consultation. This allows our stylists to assess your hair condition, understand your lifestyle, and recommend the most suitable haircut, hair colour, or Fabriq hair smoothing treatment for long-term results.
Taking the time to plan your hair properly ensures it not only looks good when you leave the salon, but continues to work for you in the weeks and months that follow.
