Gustav Fouche

As winter approaches, it’s the perfect time to let your hair embody the season’s richness and warmth. This season's colour trends embrace sophisticated shades that enhance natural tones, adding a touch of luxury to every strand, in this month’s newsletter we share the top 3 colour trends for winter.

We also spotlight the GF Fabulosity Volumising Shampoo with pink clay. Formulated to provide lasting lift and bounce, it not only builds volume but also combats excess oil, keeping your hair fresh and full of life.

Plus, discover Gustav's new luxury indulgence: Dreem Distillery’s Z’s Bath Soak, designed to dissolve the day’s stress and promote deep relaxation.

Autumn has arrived, and with it comes one of the season's most exciting hair trends—the effortless, lived-in look. Achieved through expert colouring techniques and the 3D dry cut, this low-maintenance style is perfect for the colder months. We also discuss how to achieve and maintain this low maintenance look using GF Fabulosity products.

This month we share Gustav’s colour prediction of warm brunette tones being the standout trend for the season. From rich chocolate hues to soft caramel and honey accents, these shades will add dimension and shine to your hair throughout the winter.

As summer fades and the crisp days of autumn set in, it's the ideal time to focus on rejuvenating your hair after months of sun exposure, restoring it to its beautiful silky and healthy shine. This month, we’re excited to share our comprehensive guide to haircare for the colder months, along with five must-try hair colour and style trends for autumn, including the popular 'bronde' shade and the elegant Italian bob.

We also have exciting news to share: GF Fabulosity has proudly won three prestigious awards, and we couldn't have done it without your support!

This month, as we revel in the sunny days of summer, it's crucial to pay extra attention to maintaining your hair colour. The sun's rays, combined with chlorine from pools and UV exposure, can open the hair cuticle, causing your colour to fade or turn brassy. With summer in full swing, we need to take extra care of our hair while on holiday and incorporate additional products into our haircare routine. Gustav shares his top three tips for maintaining glossy locks during the summer. Additionally, we recommend glossing treatments as an excellent way to keep your hair vibrant.

We also emphasise the importance of regular treatments. Every day, your hair is exposed to various stressors, from environmental pollution to heat styling. These factors can lead to damage, dullness, and an unhealthy scalp, ultimately affecting hair growth and vitality. Regular hair and scalp treatments are crucial to maintain healthy, beautiful hair.

As summer heat and holiday excitement fill the air, we all love to bask in the sun. However, our hair can suffer from the effects of heat, humidity, and UV exposure. But don't worry—GF Fabulosity is here to save your locks from the summer blues with an extraordinary treatment that will transform your hair game: the incredible MicroMist treatment, available exclusively at the Gustav Fouche salon.

Maintaining healthy and vibrant hair at home is crucial, but sometimes regular care just isn't enough. We'll explain how the GF Fabulosity Double Treatment can give your hair the extra love it needs.

Lastly, we'll introduce you to the colour trend of the summer: Golden Hour Hair. This trend captures the warm, bronzed hues that create a glowing, radiant look, adding a touch of sunlit brilliance to your hair. 

As summer approaches, it's the perfect time to refresh your look with the season's hottest colour trends. At Gustav Fouche, our mission is to make every client feel their best with luxurious treatments and cutting-edge hair fashion. This month, we're excited to share a guide to the top colour trends for summer and tips on maintaining your gorgeous colour using GF Fabulosity products.

We'll also delve into the revolutionary Hair Botox treatment, which minimizes the need for frequent heat styling while significantly improving the overall health and appearance of your hair.

With summer approaching, its time to ensure our hair stays healthy and vibrant under the sun’s rays. Gustav shares his top tips for maintaining fabulous hair all summer long.

We’re also thrilled to share Gustav’s recent experience at Vidavii, London’s first tech-based wellbeing circuit. In just 30 minutes per circuit, you can address all your wellbeing needs - from performance to reshape, beauty, relaxation, recovery and longevity.

And as holiday season approaches, don't forget to schedule your summer beauty treatments with our expert beautician Shenaz. Ensure you're feeling fabulous from head to toe by indulging in a beauty service at your next hair appointment.
