Make 2024 your best year yet with a Quality Hair transformation

Posted Wednesday, February 6, 2019



How transforming your look can totally change how you perceive yourself

The best part of my job is seeing the smile on someones face when you have done a totally awesome transformation. It makes me happy and gets the dopamine firing there really is nothing better.

 

I usually begins with a question "Are you happy with your current look?" that might sound simplistic however it's a really good starting point. Then once I have found out how the client feels about their hair, I will make suggestions. I want to find out where they work what they do, their likes and dislikes. A style has to be appropriate and I understand that. You literally can make or break someones day, it's a responsibilty myself and my team take very seriously. In fact we are passionate about it, to be honest hairdressers are people pleasers by nature, we absolutely hate it when our clients are unhappy.

We do loads of training and one of the things we learn't is that a big gripe is Hairdressers don't listen. We took that to heart so you can expect lot's of questions. Personally I don't want my clients to be pleased! I want to transform them and for them to be delighted. Consultations are free by the way and we don't do high pressure selling, we would love to talk to you about your new look


How to avoid the 5 ways a Haircut can go wrong

Posted Friday, November 16, 2018



5 steps to getting a great haircut and not the wrong haircut

It can be so devastating when you get a haircut you are not happy with

 

There are only normally two reasons a haircut goes wrong one is Skill and the other is Communication or to be more precise lack of communication. This 5 step checklist will help you avoid a bad haircut Before it becomes a reality.

 

I actually wrote this post a while ago and on reflection I would like to add one very important point. It's good if a salon is fully booked that's a great sign, however there is a difference between fully booked and over booked. Only you as the customer can judge, but for me I don't do my best work when it feels like a circus. We allow a little bit more time than average for appointments, and I think it pays dividends in the long term.

 

Check out our 5 point list

 

 

 

  • Take a photo with you, hairdressers are not mind readers a verbal description will never replace a visual representation. At the very least it's a start and you will know whether you are on the same page and not reading a different book.
  • You should get a proper consultation, if you don't get one run for the hills at least on a first visit anyway, the stylist asking "How do you want it" just does not make the grade. This is just as important for the stylist as the client do you Get each other?
  • Listen to the stylist suggestions they do this stuff for a living, you might have a really strong idea, however be open to the possibility that it might not suit you. On the flip side of that if they don't have any ideas I would question that as well Is this the right stylist for you?
  • Stand outside a potential salon and watch, do the clients look happy and do the staff look friendly
  • Check out the salons work on social media and read their reviews do you like the looks, then find out which stylist did the work. Do the good reviews all mention a certain team member?. Do a bit of research or get a recommendation from a friend.

This gives you a bit of a plan, the key point here is communication and consultation everything starts with that. A really good stylist will take time to find out your needs and make suggestions and most salons offer consultations for free.

Brazilian Blowdry

With the power of keratin, 22 carat gold and KS Complex, KeraStraight has been developed to simultaneously repair & straighten. KeraStraight is suitable for all hair types from virgin, untreated hair to highly damaged and weak. This evolution in straightening and repair will deliver beautifully shiny, straight & healthy hair.

With the exclusive and highly innovative KS Complex, the vapour is captured and the hair is left feeling lighter, even more beautiful and now needs only 2 days between application & 1st shampoo. KeraStraight brings new life to your hair, even after years of damage.

Hair Colouring

This is divided into three specific areas: Partial, Permanent, and Semi-permanent. Partial colouring includes highlights and fashion techniques such as slices of colour and paint on colour. We use only foil for highlighting. Matrix and Wella supply our products and all our stylists attend regular training on the latest colouring techniques. As an example you can expect to pay £138 for a full set of highlights (this includes the cut & finish).

Permanent colour is applied directly to the hair and you will need a skin test 48hrs before (even if you have had a tint previously). The cost is £45 for a root tint. Semi-permanent lasts about 20 shampoos and covers 50% of grey hair. We also do a clear semi just for shine. You will require a skin test for this service.

Hair Conditioning

Why not come in for a relaxing conditioning treatment or book for one with your next cut.
We use Biolage Cera repair which is a botanical Ceramide treatment and is great for damaged hair

Sebastian Cellophanes

Cellophanes is Sebastian's breakthrough semi-permanent colour shine in 11 shades +, ammonia free colour gloss treatment. Inspired by the vibrant natural colours in the spice souks of Tunisia Cellophanes is the worlds first semipermanent professional colour, launched in 1976. Cellophanes has a formula that strengthens hair, preserves moisture and enhances the shine of each strand with translucent, natural looking colour.

Ionic hair dyes deposit on the outer layer of the hair cuticle rather than breaking through like most direct dyes, so each strand is layered with transparent, shiny, and gorgeous looking gloss for up to 4 weeks. Perfect for natural or colour treated hair craving an instant boost.


Hair Cut & Finish

This service starts with a consultation, at which time you will get a chance to tell your stylist of any concerns you may have with your hair. For example, if you have a certain problem with drying your hair yourself you can tell them and within the constraints of your hair they will come up with the easiest solution for you.

A cut & finish takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, and prices start from £36 for short hair. Our definition of long hair is below the middle of the back.

However, if the hair is going to take a very long time because of hair density or for instance if your hair is very curly and you want it straight then your stylist will advise you before incurring any additional cost.

With the exclusive and highly innovative KS Complex, the vapour is captured and the hair is left feeling lighter, even more beautiful and now needs only 2 days between application & 1st shampoo. KeraStraight brings new life to your hair, even after years of damage.

Illumina-Colour

Sheer colour that luminous, in every kind of light.

Have you ever wanted to cover your grey hairs, but been reluctant because hair colours sometimes leave your hair dull. Problem solved Illumina by Wella is the next generation of hair colour.

ILLUMINA COLOR elevates light to its highest spectrum revealing previously unseen potential in hair. Now you can make light your own and experience colour expressions that stir the senses and emotions.
