You need to have all one length hair and it needs to be shiny and in great condition to re create this look. We stock all the Ghd products you’ll  need  for this style, and not forgetting the best straightners on the market also available in -salon. Practice makes perfect but if its too fiddly then visit our team of hair specialist to recreate it for you. This look will make heads turn if you’re attending a wedding or even better going to Royal ascot this year. Who needs a hat with hair that looks this good!!

Dip Dye effect on brunette

3 Models were chosen to try out some new colouring techniques & colour selection combinations.

This season(spring/summer 2012) we have seen a  more subtle hair colour fashion such as dip dying & peek a boo hi-lights.This is because they are less maintenance but highly effective and eye catching. Clynol sent us one of their technical educators to assist us and share her product Knowledge and pass on hertechnical skills.During this session we used combinations of Naturaland Gold tones and to add a bit of wow factor we used a violet tone in our blonde models hair.We were very pleased with the results as were the models.

For your colour consultation call the salon now and book yourself in. 01384402890

We always skin test prior to colouring any new clients hair so make sure you allow 48hrs notice  minimum, so we can carry out this procedure.

wedding hair styles 2012

Congratulations to Karen & Andy on their wedding day last weekend.

Karen’s hair was curled all through with a curling wand and then expertly swept to one side and pinned to secure. A little height was created at the crown  and a side parting immaculately finished to soften the face.

Wearing a beautiful hair pin as Karen did, or a few diamante decorative grips  dotted through can add a blast of Glamour .

Wedding styles for 2012/13 are very sophisticated and elegant. Brides are choosing  classic styles, swept to one side with either loose cascading curls or, all pinned up  . Sweeping all the hair up helps to maintain the style for the whole day without the fear that the odd curl may become unpinned, messy or drop.

Remember wedding photos are for life, when choosing a hair style for your wedding take into consideration that fashion changes at an alarming rate, so choose something timeless and elegant, that way you won’t look back in 10 years time and cringe at your wedding hairstyle.

We recommend a trial run appointment to get the gist of what you like and what you don’t. An  ideal time would to be on a day you’re having a wedding dress fitting, that way you can check the wedding hair style you ‘ve chosen looks as you imagined with your wedding dress.

Call one of our Special occasion hair stylist now to discuss your wedding hair style.  We recommend about 3-4 months prior to the big day to ensure you can get an appointment ,as usually, weddings are on Saturdays and these are our busiest days of the week.

spring/summer 2012 styles to suit your face shape

Knowing which style suits your face shape is not an easy task but one which your hairdresser should be able to advise you on. Here are a few ideas  to help you .

Diamond face: (Rihanna)Full bodied ringlets loosely falling around face, also light fringes will soften sharp features. Not too much width or too much height on top.

Square face: ( Keira Knightley) Tapered bob  that sits right at the chin is best, needs natural texture and wave.
Oval Face:  ( Sienna Miller)This is the most versatile shape and regardless of length best suits layers around cheekbones, lips or chin. Also Suits a fringe .
Round face: ( Rachel Bilson) Tumbling waves suit a round face, or an A-symmetrical bob. Avoid fringes unless it’s a sweeping one as they can chop the face in two and widen features.
Long face: (Liv Tyler)  Suits an eyelash tickling fringe and large Hollywood waves. keep the top flat and  the sides wider to create a fuller feature.
Heart face: (Frankie Sandford) Always best with layers near cheekbones, lips or chin.The most versatile of shapes. ask your stylist about a stunning short crop with texture and class.
How do i know what my face shape is?………… when the mirror is steamed up after that long relaxing bath and your hair is wrapped in a towel , stand in the mirror and draw around your face in the steam…..voila!!! your face shaped revealed.

Flirty Fringes

A fringe brings structure to a hairstyle and great option if you dont want a complete restyle but fancy a change. However there’s lots to choose from and the shape of your face needs to be taken into consideration or it could be a complete disaster.

Round Face: short & sweet

Long Face: peek a boo, eyelash tickling and blunt

Oval face: peek a boo, eyelash tickling, blunt, whispy, sweeping.…pretty much any fringe.

Fringes are riding high in the fashion stakes at the moment but you have to make sure your fringe is maintained regularly, like every 2-3 weeks at least. We offer a FREE fringe maintenance for all our existing clients because want your style to look tip top at all times… after all you are our walking advertisement!!

Don’t be fooled into thinking a fringe will be low maintenance  though because although they are striking they can tend to defy gravity first thing in the morning. Nothing a quick damp down, application of ‘Milk_Shake whipping cream’ leave in conditioner and a harsh blast off the hair dryer can’t cure.Make sure you direct the air stream from your dryer down the hair shaft towards your nose and with the protection of products a quick straighten with your ghd’s. DONE!! and for those mornings where there just isn’t enough time time(because the bed was way too comfy) then twist it away from your face and secure with a stunning glittery hair clip.

 Top Tip: Don’t try and maintain it yourself, fringes can be temperamental so leave it to the professionals
