No “call for a quote”. Pick what you want, see what it costs and how long it takes, then carry the whole selection straight into the calendar.
Prices shown are XAR’s live Fresha prices. Where they read “from”, the final price depends on your hair’s length, thickness and condition; your stylist confirms before starting.

Quoted in person
Some work is priced properly only once we have seen your hair. These start with a consultation, no charge, no obligation.
- Extensions
- Clip-on, micro ring and weft. A one-to-one consultation determines texture, colour and match.
- Brazilian (keratin) treatment
- The permanent blow-dry. Keratin repairs damage and calms hair for up to four months.
- Botox, Olaplex & repair treatments
- Our team will advise the right remedy, whether you need volume, moisture or repair.
- Up styles
- Weddings, black tie and galas, or loose, natural and manageable, for women on the go.

A stress-free hour,
engineered.
XAR suits all and sundry: a man’s man, a glamorous granny, a stylish mummy or a glitzy girl. We welcome pets too, and while your furry companion doesn’t get the same service package, they get the same welcome.
- Style
- Our team is kept persistently abreast of the latest in hair and nail fashion, and offers fresh styles that are easily managed between visits and tailored to each client.
- Convenience
- We prioritise pre-bookers and honour every appointment. No waiting around while late-comers are obliged. And Thursdays we are open till 9pm, so treating yourself needn’t wait for the weekend.
- Time-outs
- Fresh coffee, a hot cup of tea, a cold drink, something to read. The pampering is the point, so we build the hour around it.
Book a person, not a slot.
Six stylists and technicians, each rated individually by the clients who sat in their chair. Pick yours and we’ll take you straight to their diary.

Every review below was left through Fresha by someone who actually paid for and attended their appointment. We can’t edit them, and we wouldn’t want to.

Central, but out of the commotion.
Our Ta’ l-Ibraġ location is reachable from anywhere on the island without being in the middle of it. Free of the traffic, five minutes from where you were going anyway.
