About us
Marlow & Vine
Hair studio · Lichfield.
Marlow & Vine opened in 2016 above the old ironmonger's on Tamworth Street. We wanted somewhere that felt more like a front room than a shop floor.
There are four of us and we keep the diary deliberately loose, so nobody is being finished off while the next person waits. A cut here takes as long as it takes.
Everybody starts with a proper consultation, including a patch test before any colour. If what you have asked for will not work with your hair, we will say so and suggest something that will, rather than quietly doing it anyway.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a patch test before colour?
Yes, and there are no exceptions to this one. It takes two minutes and has to be done at least 48 hours before your appointment, so pop in beforehand. If you have coloured with us in the last six months we will usually still redo it.
How long will I be in the chair?
A cut and finish is about an hour and a quarter. Full colour is roughly two hours. Balayage and highlights are three to four. We will tell you honestly when you book, so you can plan the rest of your day around it.
What if I do not know what I want?
That is completely normal and it is what the consultation is for. Bring photographs if you have them, including ones you dislike. We will tell you what will work with your hair and your morning routine, rather than what looks best in the chair for ten minutes.
What is your cancellation policy?
Give us 24 hours to move or cancel and there is no charge. Inside 24 hours we may ask for 50%, because a three-hour slot is very hard to fill at short notice. If something has genuinely gone wrong in your life, talk to us.
Do you do hair for weddings?
Yes, with a trial first so there are no surprises on the morning. We only take one wedding a weekend, either here or at your address.
