Alkaline London – Erika Selvaggio Hair Stylist

East London hairstylist studio

VISION & PHILOSOPHY

Welcome to Alkaline

Our philosophy is to provide leading hair styling, colours and cuts with sustainable products and methods that focus on building healthy hair in a very relaxing and harmonious atmosphere.

We care about your health as much as your hair and strive to find the best non-toxic products possible, using these to create the perfect hairstyle to compliment each individual client’s lifestyle. Our aim is to have you feeling relaxed and uplifted at the end of each and every service, without the concern of being exposed to any harmful chemicals.

What we do

The foundation of a successful hairstyle considers every aspect of a look, not just the quality of the cut – face shape, density of hair and your lifestyle.

Our services

Filtered water

We will be using only filtered water to remove elements from normal water supply which can harm and impact the health of your hair.

Alkaline, Vitamins and Minerals

It is well known that alkaline water hydrates hair much better than normal water, delivering vitamins and minerals to any part of your body efficiently – even to your scalp. Alkaline water also promotes hair growth through increased blood circulation in the scalp.

Hair health

Using alkaline water, we help you maintain the right pH value of your hair which is a critical component for the general health of hair.
