What To Expect At Odd Apple
Designed Around You
For Every Step of Your Hair Journey
Rooted Refined Ready — luxury hair salon experience in Langley Moor, County Durham.
At Odd Apple, your experience is never an afterthought. We don’t believe in conveyor belt appointments or copy-and-paste colour plans.
From the moment you arrive, things feel different — slower, more thoughtful, more about you. You’re greeted by name, offered a drink, and invited to settle in at your own pace. Whether you’re in the mood to talk, recharge quietly, or scroll in peace, the space — and the team — adapt to what you need that day.
We take our time to listen. Not just to what you want, but to how you want to feel. That means no one-size-fits-all consultations, no pressure to upgrade, and no rushing you out the door.
Just honest, considered advice that respects your lifestyle, your hair history, and your future appointments.

Where You Can Just Be
There’s no loud music, no harsh lighting, and no pressure to perform polite conversation if you’re not in the mood. Just a warm welcome, a team who sees you, and a space designed to help you soften your shoulders and exhale.
At Odd Apple, we want the salon to feel like a pause button — a place to unplug from your day and feel looked after in a way that’s unforced and unpretentious.
We don’t chase trends for the sake of it. We don’t pack the chairs or double-book. And we don’t believe you should ever feel hurried through an experience that’s meant to fill your cup.
Some clients sit and scroll. Some catch up on gossip. Some take the chance to be quiet for the first time all day. However you arrive, the space will meet you there.
Let’s Talk About Your Hair
Every appointment starts with a conversation — the kind where you actually feel heard.
We don’t just ask what you’re after and nod along. We ask the right questions, we listen, and we build a plan that fits your hair history, your routine, and your goals.
That might mean saying no to something that isn’t right.
It might mean taking things slowly, or finding a new way to get where you want to be.
Whatever it looks like, you’ll know exactly what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what to expect next.
Your Appointment, Your Way
We know the chair can feel like a stage in some salons. At Odd Apple, it’s more like a cosy corner — yours for a little while.
Whether you’re here for a full transformation or just a quiet trim between meetings, we keep things calm, considered, and built around you.
Want to chat? Let’s chat. Prefer to scroll in peace? That’s totally fine too — we even have a little basket with chargers, mints, and fidget toys if you want to zone out completely.
We won’t be juggling two clients at once or rushing you to get to the next booking. This is your time. And we want it to feel like a break — not a performance.
Aftercare That Fits Your Life
The appointment doesn’t end when the blowdryer switches off.
Before you go, we’ll walk you through what we’ve done, how to care for it, and what to expect in the days and weeks ahead. If there’s a product that’ll genuinely help, we’ll explain how and why — but we’ll never push a sale or send you home with something you don’t need.
And if rebooking helps keep your hair on track, we’ll offer that too — no pressure, no guilt. Just the next steps if and when you want them.
You’ll leave with hair that feels like you — soft, healthy, finished properly — and advice that actually fits your life, not just the salon lighting.
Soft Music • Warm Light • Real Attention.
Experience a Truly Relaxed Salon Space
Where You Can Think, Feel and Look The Way You Want.
1
Find Us, Feel at Ease
You’ll find Odd Apple right on the high street in Langley Moor — but the moment you step inside, the noise of the day softens. You’re welcomed like a regular, offered a drink, and invited to relax in our private reception space — away the salon floor. None of the overwhelm. Just a space to breathe before your appointment begins.

Time For You
At Odd Apple there’s no juggling clients and no rushed consultations. Your stylist sits with you, asks the right questions, and builds a plan that makes sense for your hair and your life. When the service starts, you are their sole focus from start to finish.

Peace or Catch-Up
Want to chat through every step? Go for it. Prefer to scroll your socials and take a moment for yourself? That’s fine too — the salon is set up for both. We’ve even got a little basket of treats and chargers - whether it's you or your device that needs a full recharge.

A Finish, Not a Style
When we’re done, we’ll walk you through what we did and how to care for it. We’ll recommend next steps if you want them — but there’s no pressure. Just great hair, done properly, with advice that actually works at home too.
Let’s Begin Your Next Hair Journey
Appointments are limited, and most of our guests rebook before they leave.
If you're ready for something more considered, more personal — we’d love to welcome you.

When you visit our Langley Moor salon, you can expect...
Real conversations
Not pushy upsells or rushed appointments.
Tailored colour advice
Designed for your hair, not the latest trend
Expert care

No judgement

Professional, Start to Finish
More Than Just a Great Appointment
Comfortable Salon Experience at the Highest Standards
Because You Deserve a Coffee and a Chat — But Your Hair Deserves More
Every stylist here is trained, trusted, and supported to focus on one client at a time. We don’t double-book or rush to the next name on the list. That means the service you get is focused, thorough, and built around what actually works for your hair.
We take the time to explain what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and how to look after it — so that what we do in-salon lasts longer once you walk out the door. Because a great salon experience isn’t just about how you feel while you’re here — it’s about how your hair looks and behaves in real life, in real lighting, days later.
Beautiful Hair. Honest Advice.
At Odd Apple, we don’t just create beautiful hair. We create space - for individuality, honesty, and confidence to grow.
Odd Apple Questions & Aswers
Can't find the answer? Get in touch...
Do I need to know what I want before booking?
Not at all. Many of our clients come in unsure — and that’s completely fine. We start every appointment with a consultation, where we talk through your hair goals, concerns, and what’s possible for your hair right now.
What’s the price for a full transformation?
It varies depending on your hair, the process required, and the result you're after. We’ll give you an honest estimate after consultation — no pressure, no surprises. You can also view our current price list when booking.
Do you offer silent appointments?
Yes — we get it. If you’d prefer a quieter experience, just let us know when booking. We’re here to meet you where you’re at.
Is Odd Apple a good salon for vivid colour in County Durham?
Absolutely — vivid colour is one of our core specialities. Becky Sutherland, our founder, is a national educator and brand ambassador for Crazy Color and Osmo. Clients travel from across County Durham and the North East for bold, creative colour work done with care and precision.
Do you offer a welcoming salon environment for people with anxiety or sensory needs?
Absolutely. We offer silent appointments, clear communication, and a calm, non-judgemental environment. Whether you’ve had a bad salon experience in the past or just need space to decompress, Odd Apple in Langley Moor is designed to feel like a safe space.
Do you see clients who are growing out grey or embracing natural texture?
Yes — we love working with hair journeys of all kinds. Whether you’re blending out old colour, embracing silver, or learning how to manage your natural curls, we’ll guide you with honesty and care. Our consultations are judgement-free and fully focused on you.
How do I book an appointment?
Appointments can be reserved through our online booking here. For major colour changes or transformations, we always recommend a consultation and a patch test is required before any new colour service.
I’ve had bad salon experiences before. How is Odd Apple different?
We hear this often. At Odd Apple, we lead with honesty and care — not ego or upselling. Our job isn’t to rush you or make assumptions. It’s to help you feel comfortable, confident, and fully seen from the moment you arrive.
Where are you located?
You’ll find us at 43 High Street, Langley Moor, County Durham (just minutes from Durham City). There’s easy access nearby and a warm welcome waiting inside.
Do you offer balayage or lived-in blondes in Langley Moor?
