Mirror-Less Haircuts
People go to the hair-salon for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons is to feel good about themselves. But only 10% of our clients said they enjoyed sitting in front of a mirror... which is why we are here for the rest of you! Instead, our clients sit in front of art in a calming and caring atmosphere.
Talk-Free Haircuts
We celebrate all personality types at DKUK, prioritising making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. There is never any pressure to be chatty. You can even book a ‘Talk Free Haircut’. During your consultation, the stylist will ask you how you would like your hair - but after that, your ears can relax!
Pay What You Can
New clients visiting us for the first time can either pay the usual amount for their service or opt for our Pay What You Can. This is available on appointments booked Monday to Friday from 12-4pm and only with our stylist level. Call 020 36090920 to book and please mention that you are a new client.

Highlights at DKUK Hair Salon, Peckham
Add brightness and movement to your hair with expertly placed highlights. Our stylists create looks ranging from fine, natural ribbons of light to bolder, face-framing pieces that bring out your best features.
To keep your blonde fresh, we recommend a standalone toner between appointments. This helps maintain brightness and tone while protecting the integrity of your colour.
For extra care, ask about Olaplex, which strengthens and restores hair during the lightening process for a smooth, glossy finish.
In 1950, only 5% of women coloured their hair. Today, that number has increased to 75%
Balayage Specialists in Peckham
Balayage offers a soft, lived-in look with a gentle grow-out that feels effortless. Our stylists hand-paint colour for a seamless, low-maintenance result that enhances your natural texture.
Whether you prefer delicate caramel warmth or a striking contrast, we’ll tailor the technique to suit you. Keep your balayage vibrant with regular toners and refresh appointments as your lighter pieces evolve.
We always recommend adding Olaplex to maintain shine and strength.

Did you know? Healthy hair can be stretched up to 30% of its length when wet

Creative Hair Colour at DKUK
For those who love to make a statement, our creative colourists specialise in expressive, fashion-led shades inspired by your individual style.
Depending on your starting point, pre-lightening may be required to achieve the perfect base. Colour can be applied all over, in panels, or blended through for a striking finish that’s unique to you.
As vivid colours naturally fade, we can prepare a custom pigment pot so you can keep your shade looking fresh between visits.
Please note: Bleaching services are booked separately.
The most common hair colour in the world is black
Full Head Tint Colour
A full head tint is ideal for refreshing your look, whether you’d like to lighten, darken, or cover greys. It delivers an even, polished finish that’s both classic and versatile.
Your stylist will guide you on the best tone and timing for your next visit, usually every 4–6 weeks for root touch-ups.
For lasting vibrancy and protection, we recommend including Olaplex in your colour service.

Does DKUK offer hair colour services?
«Yes, DKUK offers balayage, highlights, root melts, full head colour, and bold fashion shades. The DKUK stylists create bespoke colours tailored to your skin tone, lifestyle, and hair type.
Do I need a consultation before booking colour or smoothing?
«Yes, consultations are recommended at DKUK before colour or smoothing treatments. This ensures your stylist can assess your hair, carry out patch testing, and choose the best service for your needs.
Why do I need to come in for a patch test?
«We must follow manufacturers' guidelines with our colour products otherwise we will not be insured to do your hair.
Are all your products vegan?

Davines’ sustainable beauty brand is not certified vegetarian or vegan but they do not contain any animal-derived products. In other words, these products are fully vegan-friendly too.
Design Essentials is a cruelty-free brand, meaning they do not test on animals but do have products that use animal-derived ingredients.
Do you have lots of 5 star reviews?
«Yes! You can see for yourself and read all of our reviews here.
What DKUK Clients Have to Say…
Vera seemed to grasp exactly what I wanted and the head massage was a pure delight.
It’s a different experience looking at artwork rather than mirrors, although the mirror is wheeled out for the initial consultation and again for the big reveal at the end. If I was going to be picky, from a personal point of view, I quite like to see how the stylist is drying and generally finishing my hair so that I have more of an idea how to replicate the look at home.
However, I’ve had so many compliments, I will definitely be back, thanks Vera!
She has not only absolutely nailed the colour and vibe I was after, and brought my long, neglected hair back to life, but has gained my trust and turned something that was previously stressful into an enjoyable experience - thank you so much! x
