Should I stop colouring my hair?
November 18, 2022
For people who are starting to show signs of grey in their hair it is very tempting to turn to the colour bottle and banish those greys at least for a few weeks. A visit to the hairdresser to have a full colour or to just have roots touched up can be costly so many people buy a home colouring kit and either colour their hair themselves or get a friend or family member to do it for them, but at which point should you get off this carousel and start to welcome the greys and stop colouring your hair? The answer really is whenever you want to or never because for some people keeping their hair colour has a lot to do with their self-esteem and may make them... Read More »
What is a skin fade haircut?
July 13, 2022
A skin fade is a relatively new style of haircut and is often chosen by men who want to keep their hair on the top of their head but a lot shorted on the sides. The skin fade is done by the barber carefully shaving the bottom of the hair line almost completely smooth and then gradually increasing the length as they move towards the top of the head. This gives the effect of the hair fading out as you move towards the neck, hence the name skin fade. If you have never had this cut done before then you may be a little nervous as if not done correctly it can end up looking a bit odd and if the fading is not done gradually you may end up...

The ‘Hairdresser Stroke’ – should I be concerned?
August 16, 2018
You would be forgiven for thinking that a wash, cut and blow dry should be a safe experience as there’s relatively little that can go wrong, particularly if you’re not having a colour applied and as such don’t have to worry about the often noxious chemicals used. However, there is a key health risk involved, and one which is not widely known about. Colloquially, this is known as ‘Hairdresser’s Stroke’. Thankfully it’s rare, but it certainly can happen; Evidence is more anecdotal than scientific at this stage, but some hairdressers – and clientele – have reported suffering from strokes shortly after attending an appointment. The thinking behind this suggests that the issue occurs whilst your hair is being washed. Anyone familiar with salons will of course be used to leaning... Read More »
Choosing a Bold Fashion Colour
May 20, 2018
Bold, bright colours will make you stand out from the crowd and can look simply stunning in your hair. You should always visit a hairdresser if you want a colour like this, as they will make sure it comes out well in your hair. You can choose from all sorts of shades, from pillar box reds and dusky pinks to bright blues and greens. You might choose to have some small sections coloured for a more subtle look. For a colour to look really bright and bold, it might be necessary to lift up your colour first. This involves bleaching the hair to make your base colour lighter. You will need to have this done for very vibrant reds. If you don’t want a permanent colour, you can have a... Read More »
Balayage – Choosing your Colours
March 30, 2018
Balayage is a hair colouring technique that gives natural highlights and lightens up sections of hair in a natural looking way. Balayage is a technique that many hairdressers can offer, and it’s important you choose the right colours for your balayage so that it will complement your skin tone and suit you.

If you have ideas, tell your stylist, but do listen to their professional opinion as well.... Read More »
