A shoeshine works best on very short male hairstyles. This is a freehand method that can be applied either with a piece of foil or a tint brush. Shoeshine is a technical term for “tipping” the hair to give the style a “polished” look. This method generally involves using bleach and can give you subtle or dramatic results depending on the strength of bleach, the amount applied to the hair and the development time. Generally a shoeshine will only last until the next time you get your haircut.
| Full Price | from £30.50 |
| Student Price | from £24.40 |
This is best applied to short hairstyles where the hair might be a bit too short for foils. The colour is painted on from root to tip with a tint brush to the specific areas. A paintbox can be painted as fine or as thick as you require and can be applied in specific areas or throughout the whole head.
Generally a paintbox colour will last for a few haircuts, as it grows out you can either get the colour re-applied or allow the colour to completely grow out.

| Student Price | from £28.80 |
Using foil is a practical way for the stylist to apply colour to the hair and the possibilities are endless with them. When using foils you can have more than one colour applied to create texture, depth, thickness and interest to the hairstyle. Foils can also be used to create blocks of colour or to separate colour. The amounts of hair placed in each foil can also determine how dramatic the result will be. The stylist can weave your hair or colour slices of hair.
Sample foils is generally when up to 10 foils are placed through the parting. Partial Foils is generally half a head of foils and a Full head is a full head of foils!
Prices can vary quite dramatically when choosing colours and we strongly recommend coming in for a free consultation with any of our stylists. When calling the salon, the stylist can't actually see the hair they have to work with and this can cause some confusion in giving you a quotation.
The length, choice of colours, and any previous chemical treatment can determine the cost of the colour service all of which will be confirmed to you before the start of the service.
| Foils (highlights or lowlights) | Full Price | Student Price |
| Sample foils from | £36.00 | £28.80 |

Here at Hooka our staff are fully qualified and experienced in the application of Racoon Hair Extensions. Below are some common questions that are frequently asked about hair extensions:
Is the hair real?
Yes, the hair we use is real, there are 2 types - euro hair which can be coloured and reused time and time again and standard hair which can't be coloured or reused. There's a difference in price and quality depending on the customers individual needs.
Can anyone have extensions?
No, not everyone. There can be medical reasons e.g. alopecia, chemotherapy or if you are taking medications or have to wear protective head gear. We always do a thorough consultation to decide whether the client is suitable.
How much will it cost?
The price depends on quite a few factors. The amount of hair required, the type and length of the hair and colour required. The cost will be confirmed once the consultation is completed.
How long does it take?
Every client has a different reason for having hair extensions, either to gain extra length or to add more volume. The application can take from an hour and a half up to four hours. We will also need time to cut and style the hair afterwards.
Does it hurt to have them in?
As you won't be used to having hair extensions in the first few mornings you may wake up feeling slight discomfort after lying on them.
Do they damage your hair?
No, when applied professionally they won't damage your hair. We insist that clients look after and maintain their hair by using specifically prescribed Racoon products which will be included in the price of the service. We also advise you on all home care procedures from shampooing, blow drying to styling and maintenance and also when to revisit the salon to get them retouched.
How are they taken out?
Removing your extensions should ALWAYS be carried out by your stylist as this can prevent damaging your hair or extensions.
Can you colour them?
Yes, it is possible to colour the Racooon Euro hair but we strongly advise that you always get it coloured professionally. Certain colour products can damage the hair extensions.
Can i use hair straighteners, tongs or heated rollers?
Yes all of the above can be used on the extensions but as they are bonded onto the hair using heat always make sure that any heated hair tool does not touch the glue as it can melt the bond causing the hair to fall out.
If you have any more questions or want to book in for a consultation please call the salon for more information.

I'm Dion the owner and style director at Hooka. I qualified as a hairdresser in 1996 after studying hairdressing in Llandrillo College North Wales, after qualifying I worked in a few salons in the area before moving to Liverpool in 2001.
It was when I moved to Liverpool I decided to become a creative stylist for men. In August 2006 I opened the doors to my salon. I wanted to create a unique salon, from the brand to the layout and whole experience, I initially opened Hooka as a men only salon.
Hooka has evolved and changed a lot in the time it has been open and is already gaining a great reputation by being featured in the media and winning both hair and business awards.
The biggest change, due to demand, was that we invited women in to experience the hair and body services at the salon, that was back in early 2008. Hooka now attracts over 200 new clients every month, a massive amount considering the financial situation over the last few years.
I am really proud of what I have achieved in the time I have been here, winning The Nations Favourite Hairdresser 2009 has got to be a highlight!
Opening Hooka has given me the opportunity to be creative and I have become more ambitious due to the responsibilities that come along with owning your own business. Entering competitions, winning awards and achieving my own personal goals through the business is what keeps me motivated. I am so excited to see what Hooka will achieve in the future. I am sure this is the beginning of something big, watch this space!
Hi I'm Amie, I'm a style director at Hooka. I’ve been hairdressing since 1996. I love everything about my job, making people look their best, keeping myself up to date with current hair trends and also the social side, you get to meet so many different people and find out all the latest gossip!
My ambition is to work within the TV and fashion industry. Since working at Hooka I have really enjoyed taking part in styling hair for photo shoots and fashion shows as doing long hair and hair up's is one of my strengths as well as creative cutting. I work well within the team and love the diversity of the clientele Hooka attracts.
Amie Recommends : The D:fi Extreme Shape is a fantastic all round product, it styles, shapes and holds the hair making it an essential item for any one.
My name is Suzanne Lunn. I've been working in hairdressing since 2001 but qualified in 2004, I first got into hairdressing due to the fact that I love being creative with hair, I enjoy doing eccentric cuts and would say my speciality is colouring.
I've think working at Hooka is the best job I've ever had. I've met loads of cool celebs and get to meet amazing people every day, most of all I love everyone who works here.
Suzanne recommends: I'd say that MOP Firm Hold Finishing Hair Spray is a great product as it gives you a strong hold and your hair stays fab for ages. I'd also recommend Hooka's Eyelash Tinting, Eyebrow Tinting & Eyebrow Waxing because they make your eye more striking and stand out more. X
Hi! I'm Ami-Lou, I’m a Senior Stylist at Hooka following my promotion from Stylist back in May 2009. Growing up, it was the Pantene adverts on the telly that inspired me to be a hairdresser haha! No, I'm messing, it was playing with my friends hair that gave me the inspiration!
I really enjoy doing the photo shoots we get to do at Hooka as well as putting hair up, styling wedding hair and generally doing all the creative things... but my biggest passion is hair up's - I love doing them! What I like the most about working at Hooka is that no one is the same, everyone has their own personal style with their own unique hairdressing style!
Ami-Lou Recommends: The Mop C-System Texture Spray, it's surprisingly good for any girls who want big hair ( Also for backcombing big hair! ) and it's also good for men who are starting to wear thin.
I would recommend that people come in for any pampering at Hooka Body, I love getting my eyelash extensions done so that's my high recommendation.
Hey I’m Danielle, I’ve worked in hairdressing since I was seventeen and became fully qualified in 2007, I wanted to get into hairdressing as I thought it would be great to see the transformation people get from visiting a salon. I love the creative side of my job and the satisfaction I get from seeing a client leave the salon happy with their cut.
I specialise in gents creative cutting and colouring. I love all the staff here, everyone gets on really well, I also love the fact that Hooka is now a well know brand in the city.
Danielle Recommends : My favourite product is the American Crew Defining Paste, its fantastic to add texture and hold to the hair, providing a matt finish and weightless feel.
A Hooka Body treatment I would recommend is a Hooka Facial, it’s a perfect way to relax and unwind
Hey my name is Jon, I joined the Hooka crew in May 2009 after moving up from Basingstoke. I qualified back in 2007. I’ve always loved playing around with people’s hair so I thought I would give hairdressing a go and I loved it, it was the best decision I’ve made. My main ambition is to be well known for being good at what I do and I strive to become the best hairdresser around, I made it through to the final 20 in the Young Hairdresser of The Year 2009 competition which was amazing.
I enjoy cutting funky and classic haircuts. I love to be creative and produce a cut the client is made up with when they leave the salon. I really enjoy working at Hooka, the people are awesome, I get on with everyone and have a great laugh.
Jon Recommends : I love using the Gritty Business by Kevin Murphy, its proper good for a really matt textured look. I'd also give two thumbs up to a full body massage it's so relaxing!
Hi I’m Harriet, I’ve been a fully qualified beauty therapist since 2006, I have always been interested in beauty therapy, my mum owned her own salon so that got me interested in the industry. Eventually I would like to own my own salon or maybe teach others the tricks of the trade.
I feel I always get on well with the clients that come to Hooka, making them feel comfortable while having a treatment.
I love working at Hooka because it’s a really great atmosphere to work in and everyone gets on really well, we have lots of fun!
Harriet Recommends : I love using St Tropez products or St Tropez spray tan on clients because after they have had the treatment they always feel like a new person, everyone looks great with a tan!
I would also recommend for anyone to come in for a Hooka Facial or a relaxing massage as it’s such a great way to relax and unwind after a busy day at work.
Hi, I’m Nicola, I’ve been qualified as a beauty therapist since 2005, it’s something I love and enjoy, I love pampering people and making them feel better about themselves. As far as the future goes, I would like to carry on facing the daily challenges that come my way working at Hooka, learning about new products and services and putting them into practice.
I really enjoy meeting new people and it’s great to see so many regular clients that keep coming back for treatments.
Nicola Recommends : I think the Clearing Mattifier by Dermalogica is a great product. Everyone gets breakouts and it’s a really quick and easy product to use to target problem areas.
A treatment I would recommend is one of the facials we offer, our face is always exposed to sun damage and even dirt from the air. Facials are a really good way to get to the deeper layers of the skin and get rid of any problems like breakouts.
Hi I’m the manager here at Hooka, I joined Hooka in January 2009 and love working here, we have a really strong team which gives the place a real unique feel. Lots of our clients comment on how well the team get along, which I feel is so important.
In the past I have owned my own promotions and marketing business so I try to use my previous experience to push forward the Hooka brand and help it grow to become bigger and stronger.
My job here can be so varied, something different all the time, whether its organising photo shoots, carrying out staff appraisals, marketing new services, designing promotional material, it definitely keeps me on my toes.
Hooka to me isn’t just about a visit to a hairdresser it’s the whole package, the atmosphere, customer service and dealing with top class stylists and therapists.
I am proud of what I have achieved so far and see so much potential with the salon, the sky is the limit.

Dion was runner up for this award which was open to any business in Liverpool, Merseyside and North Wales. Hooka had only been open for just over a year so this was a massive achievement to beat so many other businesses, he walked away with a £5,000 cheque.
Winning an award that was voted for by the public was fantastic, especially taking into account that Hooka had only been open for such a short amount of time. Hooka was up against bigger, more established businesses in Liverpool. This was a good sign that word was getting out about the salon.
Dion earned the title of "The Nations Favourite Hairdresser 2009" which was sponsored by Head & Shoulders. The voting for the award was all done by Dion's loyal client base, all having to write a piece on why he deserved to win the title. For the finals, Dion and his client Andy Dews went to London for the final where Dion had to cut and style Andy's hair in front of a panel of judges and a camera crew. It was that night he found out he had won the title as well as £2000 and an opportunity to appear in Now, Look and Hair magazines.
Hooka has job opportunities for talented stylists, senior stylists and assistants, all with excellent wage potential depending on your experience.

Hair colouring for men is becoming more and more popular. One thing we always find when talking to our male clients is they always think they have to have bleach blonde highlights......This really is not the case.
Again, each client is different and fashions change. Choosing to have colour in your hair is a big choice, there are different applications we use at Hooka to colour hair, shoeshine, paintbox, foils or Camo colour.
Ladies changing your hair colour can be a huge decision, but can also be a fun one; it can change your whole look. Whether it’s having high lights, low lights or an all over colour change. Each client is different and fashions are always changing.
There are a couple of different applications we use at Hooka to colour hair, shoeshine, paintbox, foils or block colour.
Hey I'm Daniel, I'm a graduate stylist at Hooka, I have been working in the hairdressing industry since 2006 and became fully qualified in July 2009. I have always had an interest in my own hair, constantly changing it as fashions change. I had my first taste of working in a salon when I got a job working Saturdays in a local barber shop at the age of seventeen. I'm a very ambitious person, I always get a buzz out of doing people's hair and delivering the best possible service.
I would eventually like to own my own salon one day. I am a fairly new employee at Hooka, but I love it and can tell I am going to be here a long time, I can't believe how much I have learnt already!
Daniel Recommends : I love Gritty Business by Kevin Murphy, It gives a great dry textured finish on short to long hair. I would also highly recommend any Hooka massage - they're so relaxing!
I'm Chloe I have been hairdressing since 2004. I have always had an interest in hairdressing and I love the idea of making people happy by giving them a great haircut or restyle, everyone loves getting their hair done and it's a very fulfilling job.
I want to build a reputation for being a great hairdresser. I love colouring people's hair and also doing long curly blowdry's. I really enjoy working at Hooka, It's got a different feel to it compared to other salons I’ve worked in, and it’s also a fun, friendly, welcoming salon with great music.
Chloe Recommends : I love the Kevin Murphy Hair Resort, it adds thickness and texture to hair as it's dried in. I would highly recommend a Hooka Facial to anyone, it's a great relaxing service which is good for problem skin! You even get a prescription for the best products to use at home.
Hey.. I'm Raemer, hairdressing has been in my family for years as both my Nan and Auntie were hairdressers so I kind of wanted to follow in their foot steps. I have been hairdressing since 2002 and one day I really hope I will own my own salon.
I love all aspects of hairdressing but colouring is definitely my passion as I get to be more creative. I really enjoy working at Hooka, the atmosphere is great as everyone gets on so well.
Raemer Recommends : Lads - for strong hold on shorter hairstyles I love Fiber by American Crew. Everyone should come into Hooka and have a back, neck and shoulder massage, it's great to relieve you of all the tension and stress after a hard day's work.
