About HIVE
An independent colour salon in the heart of Headingley
We’ve been colouring, cutting and restyling hair on Otley Road since 2014 — a little alternative, endlessly colour-obsessed, and always on your side.
Our story
A proper Leeds salon, run by people who love it
HIVE started in 2014 with a simple plan: a warm, independent salon where your hair looks like the best version of your idea — never a template off the wall.
We’re on Otley Road in the middle of Headingley, so we see students, regulars, first-timers and the wonderfully brave. Whatever you’re after, you’ll get an honest opinion and a proper welcome.

Our craft
Colour is the whole point
Vivid rainbows, lived-in blondes, coppers, balayage, brave restyles — colour is where we come alive, and every change starts with a free consultation and skin test.
We back our lightening work with Olaplex and K18 bond-building to keep your hair strong, and we’ll always tell you honestly what’s achievable in one sitting.
