Changes feedback

Recently we have made some exciting changes to our online bookings, salon structure and services. Some have welcomed the enhancements with open arms and others have further feedback for us. Constructive feedback is always welcome and we have had some great conversations with people who now understand why the changes have occurred, and accept them. But we understand that this isn't the case for everyone so we put together this email to help clear some things up, please read it and if you still want to express some thoughts use the email link to do so.

Hair tips - Hot weather

Hydration is key - like your skin your hair can get dry in the sun too. At this time of year we suggest adding a nourishing conditioner or hair mask into your routine.

Sun protection - UV rays can fade colour, cause damage, and even naturally bleach your hair over time. We recommend using hair products with built-in UV protection - most good heat protectors already include this. Even if you’re not using heated styling tools, it’s still a great idea to apply your heat protector to help shield your hair from sun exposure.

Chlorine & sea water - before swimming we recommend wetting your hair through with tap water, or even applying a leave-in conditioner. This helps create a barrier between your hair and the salt or chlorinated water, reducing potential damage or chemical colour changes.

Regular trims, toning and demi glossing - Maintenance appointments are essential in the summer months to prevent dry ends, revive colour, keep your desired blonde tone, and keep your hair looking and feeling fresh and healthy. 

Blonde collection

Service highlight

To a hair stylist blonde is an array of tones, cream, beige, honey, platinum, ash and gold, the descriptions like their own language.

Every type has its own characteristics: how it reflects light, which skin tones it complements, the way it fades…

Two people can ask for ‘blonde’ and mean completely different things.

Our colour collection bridges that gap between you and your stylist to help explain what you love and what you might want to achieve for your hair.

View this collection on social media here, save it for your consultation and let’s find YOUR blonde.✨

Your hair questions...

How often should I wash my hair?

How do I prevent / get rid of split ends?

What are the most common hair colouring mistakes?

Q1: Once or twice a week is ideal. It helps maintain a healthy scalp and keeps hair oils balanced.

Q2: Getting rid of them completely is tricky, especially if they have travelled further up the hair. We recommend using some hydrating products like Deep or Intense Muk or having a hair cut. Unfortunately prevention is better than a cure in this case. Use the right shampoo/conditioner/hair mask for your hair, always use a heat protection product when using heated tools (including a hair dryer!) be careful when pulling out hair accessories and hair bands, and never ever use a brush on wet hair. Only use a comb or a specifically designed wet-brush. 

Q3: The number one colouring mistake that we see is using box colour. I know, I know, we would say this because we are a hair salon - but honestly, with the amount of hair we have seen ruined and have had to fix /nurse back to health, it just isn't worth it. The second mistake we always see is someone with a tone that is wrong for them. Anyone can ask to be a red head, but is the level of red the right one for their skin tone? Is it right for the amount of times they wash their hair? Is is right for the amount of hair growth they achieve? Is it right for the clothing tones they wear? These care touch points are the difference between a good stylist and a great stylist.
