The blend

Seamless blends are what we do.

  1. 01

    Consult

    It starts with a conversation: where your hair is now, where you'd love it to be, and what it can safely do. Consultations are complimentary.

  2. 02

    Melt the root

    A soft shadow at the root, so your regrowth grows out gently. No hard line in six weeks.

  3. 03

    Paint the light

    Brightness is hand-painted where the sun would hit: around the face, through the lengths, richest at the ends.

  4. 04

    Tone

    Toner turns raw lift into the shade you came in for: creamy, honey, champagne or caramel.

  5. 05

    Gloss & finish

    Gloss for shine, Goldwell care for strength, and a blow-dry that moves. Seamless.

The work

Fresh out of the chair.

Lived-in blondes, rich chestnut blends and grey that finally looks intentional. A few recent favourites from the salon floor.

Your visit

Your time in the Hugo chair.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    Sit down, settle in and talk it through. We look at your hair, your routine and your photos, and agree a plan before anything is mixed.

    New here? Fill in the new-client form first, so we know about allergies and your preferred stylist.

    The wash

    The part clients write home about: a proper cleanse, a second shampoo that targets your hair, conditioner on the mids and ends, and a head massage worth booking for.

    “Best hair wash and head massage ever!”

    Colour & cut

    Goldwell colour, mixed for you and placed by hand. Then the cut, shaped to the way your hair actually grows and falls.

    The finish

    A blow-dry with heat protection (kinda chic, trust us) and GHD tools, so your hair leaves looking the way it did in the chair.

The H-Team

Many hands, one mind.

“A team is a group of many hands but one mind.” That's how they put it, and it shows: you're looked after by the whole salon, not just one chair.

Hair care

Hydration or repair?

It's the question we hear most, and the answer changes everything you put on your hair. Pick the one that sounds like you.

Wash day, the Hugo way

  1. 01

    Cleanse

    Start with a cleansing shampoo to lift all the oil and build-up. Remember: water is a carrier here, not a barrier.

  2. 02

    Target

    Rinse, then shampoo again. The second wash is your targeted one: repairing, or colour lasting.

  3. 03

    Condition

    On towel-dried hair, mids and ends only, never the roots. Leave it a minute, brush it through, then rinse.

On the shelf

Everything we use in the chair is available to take home.

Such a warm and welcoming space. Hilke did an absolute amazing job with my long hair. As I am quite picky with who handles and cuts my long hair, she captured what I wanted perfectly.

Cayla H.

The stylists are true professionals who took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered beyond expectations.

Jeanine G.

The best hairstylist ever! Simone is my girl! All of the ladies there are super cool. The place to go for a guaranteed best look!

Our story

Twenty years in Panorama.

Since 2005, Panorama has had a salon where you're greeted by name and your hair is in good hands. Today that's a close team of five stylists working as one, in a bright, modern salon with the chandeliers and the black-and-white floor.

“We cherish, we are patient and we love deeply.”

Founded by Hugo Minnie in 2005. His name is still on the door.
