Booking Appointments & Cancellations

Yes, you can contact us to find a time when you can come by our salon so that we can look at your hair and offer you a free consultation and to discuss your hair needs. If for some reason you are unable to visit us directly for a consultation at our salon, then you can use the relevant form to receive a cost estimate for the services you are interested in. In this case, however, you should be aware that the estimate you will receive may have a relative deviation from the final price of our services at the salon.

Yes, you can change your appointment with at least 24 hours notice. Please note that if you wish to change your appointment, it may be rescheduled several days after your original appointment due to high demand.

Walk-ins are welcome for basic services, as long as stylists are available. In this case, you may have to wait a little longer before we can serve you. However, we recommend making an appointment if you wish to be served on time without waiting.

Book by calling +30 26610 20085, via our website booking form, or by Messenger.

Book at least 1 week in advance, especially for weekends. If you want to book an appointment for high demand periods (Christmas, Easter, Holidays), it is recommended to book at least 1 month in advance.

Late arrivals of more than 15 minutes or no-shows do not incur a charge, but may prevent you from making future appointments if this behavior becomes a habit.

If this becomes a habit and you repeat it more than 3 times in a row, we will no longer book another appointment. You will be kindly asked to visit the salon as a walk-in client, and if there is availability, we will provide you with the requested services.

At least 24 hours notice is required. This helps other clients on the waiting list find an appointment sooner.

Please contact us immediately to discuss schedule adjustments. However, please note that depending on the demand of the day and the services you have booked, we may cancel your appointment and reschedule it for a future date.

Bridal Hair Styling

Of course, photos or inspiration images help our stylists understand your vision for your wedding day appearance. Based on the photos you provide, we will advise you on the hairstyle that will best suit your face, the wedding dress you have chosen, and your style.

Yes, we can serve brides in Corfu as well as other parts of Greece. However, if the wedding is not taking place in Corfu, in these cases, you will need to cover the costs of travel, accommodation and meals (if any of these arise of course). We have already served brides in Paxos, Patras, Ioannina, Preveza, Parga, Igoumenitsa, etc.

Scissors by Effi is one of the best hair salons in Greece for bridal hairstyles. Proof of this is the award we received in the national hairdressing competition in the Bridal Look Of The Year category. This in itself proves that we are able to undertake the design of your own personalized hairstyle that will blend harmoniously with your features, your type and your wedding dress.

Yes, we can serve all the people in your wedding. However, it is essential that you inform us in time so that we can plan the order in which we will serve you and reserve the appropriate number of hairdressers required to serve you all.

Yes, we can recommend accessories such as veils, tiaras or flowers that complement your bridal style. During the fitting, we will recommend some accessories that we believe may suit your appearance and hairstyle. It should be noted that the accessories we use are of excellent quality and for this reason, in addition to the rental fee, a deposit is also paid which we return to you once you return the accessory in its original condition. Damage to the accessories, such as loss of gems, pearls and other elements will force us to keep the deposit.

Our hair salon is award-winning in Bridal Hairstyling and we can handle all hair types, from straight to curly, and create subtle bridal hairstyles, to Hollywood waves, elaborate chignon buns, etc.

Yes, our consultation sessions help us tailor the perfect hairstyle to your face shape and your wedding dress.

We can also provide a quick consultation even remotely, if you send us photos of your face, your hair, your wedding dress and hairstyles that you think suit you.

No, we only provide hairdressing services. However, we work with makeup artists and can make recommendations for you. You can then make your own arrangement with the makeup artist.

Yes, we offer online consultations to discuss your bridal hairstyle needs remotely. In these cases, you will need to provide us with photos of your face, hair and wedding dress (if available). In addition, it is a good idea to send us some photos of hairstyles you have already seen and like to help us better understand the result you want. Please note that the ideal scenario is for us to see you in person at our location. Therefore, if you live in Corfu or if you are in a city near Corfu, try to visit us to have the consultation session at our salon.

Yes, a trial session, maximum two hours, is included by default in your bridal hairstyle package to help you choose the perfect bridal hairstyle. Trials are usually scheduled a few weeks before your wedding.

Additionally, trial sessions can be made optional with a price reduction, or you can book additional hours if one session is not enough for you.

A wedding is a very challenging process for bridal hair. Brides often sweat, dance, and move around a lot, which can easily loosen parts of their hair. As a salon, we do our best to fix the hair, and we have had several clients tell us that their hair held up the next day. So what can you do? Try to sweat as little as possible, use the gentlest movements possible, remove your veil and/or wedding dress carefully, and try to prevent your guests from touching your hair.

We use strong-hold products and techniques that maintain your hairstyle from the ceremony to the reception (in most cases even the next day), as long as you follow our instructions and the weather conditions are favorable.

Book at least 4 months in advance to secure your preferred date, especially during the peak wedding season in Greece. However, we recommend that you do not exceed the 4-month limit and make sure to book your appointment well in advance (ideally, at least 6-8 months in advance). Of course, if you have planned your wedding last minute, there may be a chance that we can accommodate you, but often these chances are very small.

Bridal hairstyles usually take 1-3 hours, depending on the complexity and type of your hair.

Please arrive with clean, dry hair, avoiding styling products that may affect the process. Additional instructions may be given depending on your chosen hairstyle.

If you have chosen to come to the salon for your bridal hairstyle and are more than 30 minutes late or anticipate that you will not be able to be on time, then please contact us immediately to discuss scheduling options.

Long delays (more than 30 minutes) may prevent us from offering you our services if we have booked additional weddings for the same day or have other appointments booked.

We use high quality, long-lasting products to keep your hairstyle looking flawless, even in the high humidity conditions of Corfu. However, the longevity of your hairstyle can be affected by countless factors. What we can guarantee is that we will do our best for your bridal look, but beyond that, the longevity will depend on humidity levels, how easily and how much you sweat, how much fun you will have on your wedding day, and more.

Take into account your face shape, the style of your wedding dress, the theme of the wedding and your comfort in the warm climate of Corfu. Furthermore, Corfu has high humidity levels and from experience we suggest you consider solutions such as buns, chignons and hairstyles that are gathered and less loose.

You can also use the relevant quote form on our website, however, in this case the price we will give you may slightly differ from the final cost of your services, and this is because our hairdressers will not be able to see all the details that they could see up close in your hair.

Services For Children

The tools we use to groom children are the same as those we use on adults and are sourced from trusted partners who exclusively supply us with branded and certified tools. However, we have the appropriate techniques to make children’s haircuts as safe as possible for children of all ages. In addition, our tools are always clean and sterile.

Children can get a haircut at any age, usually starting at 1-2 years old. However, there are cases where we have cut babies as young as 40 days old.

Parents are welcome to stay throughout the service in the salon or near them if the child feels safer during the haircut.

At Scissors by Effi we believe that children should avoid contact with screens, which is why we do not have televisions. On the other hand, we try as much as possible to make the children’s experience as pleasant as possible, with fun activities and a friendly/pleasant attitude.

We use gentle, child-safe products without harsh chemicals.

Children’s haircuts last 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the child and the style. It is clear that simple haircuts and hairstyles require less time than time-consuming services such as braids and special hairstyles.

Every 6-8 weeks is recommended to maintain a well-groomed appearance. However, it depends on the type of haircut and the nature of the child’s hair. If the haircut is very short and he wants to maintain its appearance, then he may need a haircut even every 10 days. In addition, another factor that can change the time between haircuts is the speed at which the hair grows.

Keratin treatments usually last 3-6 months, depending on the care the client provides to their hair after visiting the salon.

There is no single answer to this question. Our stylists can suggest flattering haircuts during your consultation.

Highlights are applied from the roots with foil for a strong contrast and an even result. Balayage is a more natural technique, where the color is spread freely on the ends and lengths for a graduated, sun-kissed or cooler look without a visible root.

After dyeing, our recommendation is to use a good shampoo that will help moisturize and rebuild the hair while at the same time acting as a proper base for the hair to accept the additional hydration and reconstruction that a good hair mask will provide. In addition, we would recommend a vitamin leave-in that helps with combing, nourishing the hair and preventing hair breakage. Finally, we also recommend nourishing oils for exclusive daily use on dry hair to lock moisture inside the hair until the next shampoo.

There are many treatments that are specialized in the needs of the hair. There are moisturizing and restructuring treatments. In addition, there are treatment packages that start with a bath with shampoo, mask and strengthening with the appropriate booster that our hairdressers consider should be used in each case, with various oils that we incorporate into the treatment and we close with the leave-in that remains in the hair and continues the treatment even after the visit to the salon. Finally, for those customers who wish, we also offer additional products that they can use at home for additional care and restoration of the hair that act as a continuation of the treatment in the salon.

We discuss your face shape, the theme of the event, and your style during a consultation. Additionally, whenever possible, it is a good idea to show us the outfit you will be wearing so that we can recommend the ideal hairstyle that will perfectly match your final look.

Special occasion hairstyles use more elaborate techniques and products for a longer lasting and more impressive look. On the other hand, simple hairstyles are for more everyday use that do not require such an impressive look with elaborate techniques and textures in the hair.

Please book your appointment 2-4 weeks in advance, depending on the event and season, to ensure availability. However, if something has come up at the last minute, please do not hesitate to contact us as soon as possible to see if we can accommodate you. In such cases, we will do our best, but we cannot guarantee that there will definitely be availability.

The time for each hairstyle depends on the preparation the client has made following the instructions we have suggested, the quality of the hair, the type of hairstyle and its complexity.

Our experienced hairdressers are able to meet almost any of your requirements. From simple straightening to elaborate curls and braids, buns, bangs / Hollywood Waves, hairpiece placement, braids, etc.

The best hairstyle for each client is the one that suits them and that appeals to them. However, as a general guideline, we can say that loose chignons are better for more formal appearances, such as galas or New Year’s Eve, while loose wavy hair is more suitable for more casual events, such as parties and birthdays.

Professional mousses specially designed for strong hold, hairspray, special powders for hairstyles and depending on the occasion / case, some special waxes and gels. But beyond the products, our expertise also offers great help, which allows us to create hairstyles with strong structures that do not allow hair to fall out easily. Finally, we also recommend some instructions that if you follow, your hairstyle will definitely last for hours if not days.

There are many reasons why someone might want to have a formal hairstyle. These include baptisms, weddings of relatives, social events such as galas, birthdays, parties, and more.
