Hair Colour Concepts
With our haircuts, we include a full consultation, a shampoo and conditioner made for your hair with a relaxing scalp massage, a precision cut, with a full blowdry and style. We will tell you what we are using on you to help you get the look you are looking for. We will make sure we recommend to you what you should go home with to help you take care of your hair at home and recreate the look.

We will also make a recommendation of when you should come back to keep your look looking amazing! What type of blonde are you looking for? Very blonde? What you had when you were a child? Ombre, balayage, or foils. We can discuss what will look best on you, give you what you are looking for, and work within your budget.

I have been a stylist since I was a little girl cutting all my Barbie's hair! I have had many incarnations in my career from being an educator traveling around the country and a platform artist for a couple of big color companies to working behind the chair full time for the past 36 years. You might find me at the local bookstore finding the latest page turner or a classic I've always been meaning to read or at a great local restaurant.

I love this place! Ally is amazing. I walked in on a whim a few years ago because it was close and haven't been anywhere else since. They do a very thorough survey with you to establish what your hair is like and what your goals are, and even when I show up with zero direction of what I'm looking for she never steers me wrong! They keep great notes so you can go back 6 months later and they'll pull up exactly what worked for you previously without pushing sales on you. Fair pricing for the Seacoast area. 100% recommend to everyone around here

I love going to Hair Colour Concepts. Allie is the best. She takes her time, talks things out (even little changes), is skilled and wants it perfect for you. She has a passion for her career and is constantly working to be the best at it. Both she and Lori are very friendly and the atmosphere is lovely. I've had some challenges with my hair after illness and Allie has tackled it perfectly. Great location, prices, and parking! I totally recommend this hidden gem!

I've finally found a salon that I love and I am so happy! I've tried a number of different salons and stylists throughout my life and have never been totally satisfied. Curly hair is tricky, and at other salons I've experienced the dreaded triangle haircut more times than I can count, have had way too much of my hair chopped off without any warning that taking off a lot can shock the curls and have the cut appear way shorter than intended, and have had many coloring mishaps as well. But then enters the lovely Allie, who has been my hair guru, providing me with both cut and color services. She took

I went to Hair Color Concepts last week after a quarantine DIY hair color fail and Allie was AMAZING. I am so thankful for her! I had a consultation with her first and then was able to schedule an appointment within the week. She is knowledgeable, thorough, and absolutely knows what she's doing when it comes to hair color. I feel like she fixed it in one appointment, and took all the steps to help keep my hair strong and healthy throughout the process. Thank you Allie!! Looking forward to my next appointment for highlights in a few weeks!

The salon is a relaxing and peaceful place to be. Laurie cuts my hair and does a great job. She always asks me questions about what works and what doesn't. I appreciate that level of concern for my satisfaction.

Allie is skilled and knowledgeable about all aspects of coloring and cutting. She is very meticulous and always does an amazing job! I highly recommend her and I had been picky for years, she is the only one who had cut my hair in the past 4 years.

I took a chance on a review about Jess at Hair Colour Concepts almost 4 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. I love coming here for my appointments. The staff is really nice and helpful, and Jess is the best hair colorist on the seacoast! I always feel taken care of by her and everyone else. They also stock up on all the trashy magazines :)

Laurie, takes the time to find out what you want to do with your hair each and every time. She listens to what you want to do and offers great advice. I love going to her because she always makes me look and feel like cinderella when I leave my appointment.

I can't say how much I love the ladies at Hair Colour Concepts. I typically see Jessica but will work with any of them! They are very accommodating as a salon and make you feel right at home. Talented and efficient, I always leave feeling like a million bucks!

Loved this place and Jessica!! I just moved to the area and was looking for a new salon and was recommended this one. I have brown hair naturally and have always wanted to be lighter. Jessica helped me decide on a lighter ombré coloring. I was so nervous at first because I have never done something so drastic. Jess did such an amazing job at putting me at ease and helping me figure out what I wanted to do. I'm so happy with the results and will recommend going to her to anyone!

I recently moved to the Seacoast area and was nervous about finding a good hairstylist as it took me three years to find my previous one. A co-worker referred me to Jess at Hair Colour Concepts and I am so happy I went! At my first appointment Jess took a lot of time assessing my hair to determine the best next step to correct previous damage and my hair has never looked better! Price was a bit more than I had previously paid, but it is so worth it!

If you're looking for the impossible and exceptional combination of both a colorist and cutter in one person, you'll find it in Jessica Szopa who I consider a Portsmouth's little hidden treasure. Her talents extend to a real knowledge of hair products. I've had great cuts and color for several years which are consistently confirmed by friends comments and acquaintances queries, "Who does your Hair?" My husband has even been won over by her makeovers. Jess keeps both of us looking our best.

I have been going to Jessica for two years and LOVE my hair! Jessica keeps up with the current trends and isn't afraid to
tell me if there is something I want but wouldn't look good on me:).
