A quiet kind of wild.
Creative colour, curls & cuts in Preston.
New clients welcome - start with a consultation if your unsure where to begin.

Welcome to Neon Rose
The calm corner for the quietly wild.
I’m Natalie — a curl-obsessed colour specialist for women who want thoughtful hair, not trend-led chaos.
I work freelance inside a beautiful salon, but my chair is different.
Softer. Moodier. A little witchy, a little nostalgic.
This is a space for considered curl work, long-term colour plans, and appointments that don’t demand performance. Calm energy. No ego. No trend-chasing.
If you’re tired of salons that feel louder than your personality and blander than your playlists —
you’re in the right place.
Come sit with me.
Let’s bring your hair back to life — a quiet kind of wild.
M M
New here? We’ll review your hair history, current condition, previous colour and what you realistically want next (maintenance included).
This is where we assess porosity, underlying pigment and whether a colour reset, correction or full shift is required.
No guessing. No "see how it goes"
We build your next colour era properly.
Skin + strand testing carried out where needed
M M
A short consultation appointment to assess whether a smoothing treatment is suitable for your hair.
We’ll look at your hair’s current condition, history, texture, and maintenance habits, and talk through what a smoothing treatment would realistically do for you — and what it won’t.
This appointment is required at least one week before booking a smoothing treatment. It allows us to plan safely, set clear expectations, and make sure the treatment supports your hair long-term.
If a smoothing treatment isn’t the right fit, we’ll discuss alternative options instead.
M M
The full reset your hair actually needs — not another rushed colour appointment.
This is where we start when your hair feels off, dry, flat, overworked or just not you anymore.
We’ll restore condition, rebalance your shape and properly assess what your hair needs next — so any future colour work is done on a solid, healthy base.
Includes: • Bond rebuilding treatment • Custom mask tailored to your hair • Precision reshape / haircut • Professional finish
Most bigger colour clients don’t start with a full transformation — they start here.
Perfect for: • Hair that feels dry, dull or overprocessed • Grown-out colour that’s not sitting right • Prepping for future blonding, creative or corrective work • Anyone unsure what they need but knows their hair isn’t working
If you wear your hair curly, please add a Diffuse Finish. This allows time to properly dry, shape and define your curls — not a rushed “hope for the best” finish.
Low chaos. High intention. Proper hair
M M
A full transformation cut for when you’re ready to shift into a whole new era — new shape, new energy, new you.
Designed for major shape changes — think layered, textured cuts like modern shags, wolf cuts, and intentionally undone silhouettes.
We’ll talk through your inspo, map out the shape, and finish with styling so you leave knowing exactly how to wear it.
This is not a maintenance trim. If your hair is thick, very long, or naturally curly/wavy, please book the Cut & Curl Comeback instead to allow extra time.
M M
A full curl revival — shaped dry, curl-by-curl, so your natural texture actually shows up and shows off.
We reset your shape, remove bulk where needed, and rebuild your curls so they sit properly again — not flat, not frizzy, not fighting you.
This is where curly shags, wolf cuts, and textured shapes actually work — designed around your natural movement, not forced into straight haircuts.
Finished with hydration, definition, and styling so you leave knowing exactly how to manage it at home.
Perfect if your curls feel out of shape, inconsistent, or like they’ve lost their edge.
M M
A fresh cut for anyone ready to step into their next era — shaped properly, styled well, and finished with that soft alt edge.
This is a precision haircut tailored to your texture (straight, wavy, or in-between), removing weight, refining shape, and bringing your hair back to life.
Finished with a blow-dry or natural styling so you leave feeling like yourself again — just sharper.
Perfect if your shape has grown out, your ends feel dead, or your hair just isn’t hitting the same anymore.
M M
A focused maintenance appointment to keep short cuts sharp between full appointments.
Designed for crops, pixies, shags, undercuts, and shorter styles that lose their shape quickly as they grow out.
We refine the shape, rebalance weight, and clean up edges — so your cut stays intentional, not overgrown.
Perfect if your hair’s starting to lose its edge but doesn’t need a full reset.
M M
A quick curl reset to bring your shape back to life between full cuts — when your curls start dropping, flattening, or losing their edge.
We work curl-by-curl on dry hair to rebalance your shape, remove what’s needed, and bring your natural pattern back into place — no full wash or restyle.
Perfect for in-between appointments, pre-event tidy-ups, or when your curls just aren’t doing what they should.
M M
A quick tidy to keep your fringe sharp and sitting right between full cuts.
Designed to maintain shape, balance, and face-framing without needing a full appointment.
Perfect between cuts or before events when your fringe needs bringing back into line.
Best suited to the start or end of the day, or slotted between longer appointments — timings may be adjusted slightly to fit the flow of the day.
M M
Add 30 minutes of curl-focused diffusing so your colour finishes properly — defined, bouncy, and fully dry.
No fluffy, undefined “it’ll do” endings.
Perfect if you want your colour to actually show up in your natural texture — with shape, volume, and that soft, lived-in edge.
You leave with your curls styled, set, and looking like the full result — not halfway there.
M M
Your 8–10 week reset — when your colour feels off, flat, or a bit tired, but you’re not ready for a full overhaul.
Designed to rebalance tone, refresh your shape, and bring everything back into line.
Includes: • a bespoke toner or gloss • a treatment chosen for your hair’s current needs • full cut / reshape • considered finish
Ideal for blondes, brunettes, and grey blending when things need refining, not reinventing.
Low chaos. High intention. No rushed fixes.
M M
For when your regrowth is coming through and your colour needs bringing back into line — clean, seamless, and intentional.
A precise regrowth tint paired with a full reshape and finish, so everything blends properly from root to ends.
No bands. No flat colour. No obvious grow-out.
Perfect for in-between appointments when your colour’s slipping — but you don’t need a full overhaul.
M M
A root refresh with added tone and depth through the mids and ends — so your whole colour feels balanced again, not just covered.
Your regrowth is precisely retouched, followed by a bespoke gloss to refine tone, soften unwanted warmth, or add richness where it’s needed.
Finished properly so everything flows — root to ends, no disconnect.
The upgraded version of Root Refresh
M M
A refined lightening service for hair that lifts clean and doesn’t need heavy correction.
Ideal for partial lightening clients whose colour still behaves — just softer, brighter, and brought back into line.
Includes: • precise, considered lightening • development tailored to your hair • targeted rehydration to maintain strength and shine • reshape and finish
Finished to suit your natural texture — whether that’s smooth, styled, or worn in its natural movement. A curl-specific finish can be added for full definition and drying time.
Perfect when you want to refresh your blonde without overworking the hair — controlled, intentional, and done properly.
M M
A controlled, no-nonsense refresh for blondes who don’t need the full shebang — just the right pieces lifted.
I focus on the areas that actually show (face frame, parting, crown, or selected panels). Strategic blonding designed for impact, balance, and longevity between full sessions.
Includes toner, reshape, and finish — so everything blends properly.
Good for: • Keeping your blonde alive • Face frame glow-ups • Soft brightening without a full reset • Maintenance, not reinvention
Not for: • Big colour changes • First-time blonding • Corrective work • Box dye situations
If you’re new, book a consultation first — we don’t guess our way through blonding.
M M
A curated blonding session for lived-in brightness, seamless blends, and dimensional colour that grows out properly.
Think soft ribbons, intentional placement, and modern blonding designed for longevity — no harsh lines, no obvious grow-out.
Includes bespoke lightening, toning, a targeted treatment, and a full reshape + finish.
Extra lightening time can be added at £30 per 30 minutes for thicker or more demanding hair.
M M
A full-head scalp bleach for clean, high-impact blondes or maintaining an all-over blonde.
Precise application from root to ends, followed by controlled toning to achieve an even, modern finish — no patchiness, no banding, no guesswork.
Includes tone, targeted treatment, and a full reshape + finish.
Starting price shown. Additional lightening time may be required depending on density, history, or lift needed.
M M
For existing clients maintaining vivid colour without the need for additional lightening.
A targeted re-saturation of your creative tones to bring the colour back to life — keeping placement intentional, clean, and impactful.
Includes colour refresh, a targeted treatment, and finish.
Extra time can be added at £30 per 30 minutes for denser or more demanding hair. If further lightening is needed, this will be quoted separately.
M M
A tailored session for bold placement, vivid colour, dimensional blonding, and creative work that needs time and structure.
This is where we build — not rush. Placement is considered, colour is controlled, and every step is done with intention.
Includes bespoke colour work, glossing/toning where needed, targeted treatment, and a full reshape + finish.
Extra time can be added at £30 per 30 minutes for denser, longer, or more complex hair.
M M
For significant colour changes, corrective work, or complex lightening that requires a structured, multi-stage approach.
This extended session allows time to carefully remove, rebuild, refine, and rebalance the hair — without rushing or compromising the result.
Designed for hair that needs recalibration, not quick fixes.
Additional time or multiple sessions may be required depending on your hair’s history, condition, and end goal.
M M
Up to 8 hours — £600
A full-day, focused session for complex colour corrections and multi-stage transformations that require time, care, and complete attention.
This is for hair that can’t be rushed — where proper removal, rebuilding, and refinement need space to be done right.
Additional sessions may be required depending on your hair’s history, condition, and end goal.
M M
A bond-rebuilding boost added into your colour so your hair stays strong through the process — not tapping out mid-lift.
For blondes, curls, creatives, and anyone asking more from their hair.
M M
For hair that’s been through it — and needs strength back, not just softness.
A full-strength bond repair to rebuild structure, improve resilience, and restore shine where it’s been lost.
Hair feels stronger, healthier, and able to handle what comes next.
M M
A targeted mask chosen for exactly what your hair needs — moisture, strength, smoothness or repair — activated under heat to maximise results.
Designed to restore softness, shine, and manageability where your hair’s starting to feel off.
M M
A smoothing treatment for sleek, high-shine hair that stays controlled for 6–8 washes.
Frizz is reduced, shine is amplified, and styling becomes easier day-to-day — without heavy build-up or stiffness.
Perfect before events, nights out, or when you want your hair to feel polished, smooth, and properly put together.
M M
A controlled smoothing service used to reduce frizz and improve manageability where hair benefits from it.
A consultation appointment is required at least one week before this treatment to assess suitability and hair history.
This is not a straightening service and it won’t remove natural movement or curl. Results vary depending on hair type, previous colour, and maintenance.
If this treatment isn’t suitable for your hair, we’ll adjust the plan following your consultation.
Another great curly cut from Natalie. She listened to my concerns and needs and delivered exactly what I wanted.
Jane Coxon
Natalie offers a positive and relaxed hairdressing experience, she is welcoming, takes the time to listen to what you want to achieve with your hair and works out the best way to get you there. My hair has improved enormously since I started going to Natalie for curl-by-curl cuts. It still has a mind of it’s own but, following Natalie's guidance, I now have the ability to style it myself if I need to.
Vicky Lockwood
I’ve finally found someone that understands my naturally curly hair! Thank you Natalie. Always an amazing experience with a great result.
