  1. Blog: Caramel Balayage

    One of my favourite colour looks this year is a caramel balayage.
    Caramel balayage is a gorgeous hair coloring technique that softly sweeps in light and natural brunette colours. The base colour is normally a darker base that helps achieve this effortless sun kissed look.
    If you are looking for a new look this year,  you can’t go wrong with the stunning caramel balayage. It’s a warm and also a natural tone. You will be turning heads with this fresh look.
    One of the biggest bonuses of balayage is…

  2. Blog: Caring for thick hair

    Having beautiful thick hair is a gift that many people would wish for! Although it can sometimes be hard to manage, when you have the right tools and knowledge, your thick hair will look beautiful and luscious every day.
     
    Our first tip is, try to avoid washing thick hair on a daily basis, as this will dehydrate the hair, it will also take forever to dry!
     
    Next, stop running your hands through your hair. This can make the hair feel dirty, stimulating the oil glands and over producing sebum, the…

  3. Blog: Caring for your wisdom hair

    As we get older our bodies change and so does our hair. As we come into our 30s our scalp and hair can start to become more drier.  White hairs appear in the texture making it feel coarser so the way your hair feels and acts can be different to how it was in your 20s.
    Protein balance
    White hair is hair with no melanin in it, because of this it is very important we look after it even more. If it is very silky you must add more protein to your haircare to help with strength. As we become more…

  5. Blog: Choosing the perfect bag

    Our Resident Stylist Isobel Kershaw shares with us her top tips and knowledge on finding the perfect handbag. 
    My philosophy when investing in a bag, is buy less and pay more! The bag can elevate any outfit effortlessly and trust me, when you have a special bag you love, the cost makes sense.

    The aim is to ensure it looks expensive. With the winter season kicking in, it may be time to…

  7. Blog: Colour trend: expensive golden blonde

    HIGHLIGHTS ARE BACK!
    Although the root smudges and halo blondes are still here to stay, now we are embracing classic foliage and traditional highlights for 2022! Think of the ultimate 90's blonde which is seen on celebrities such as Hilary Duff. With these super fine highlights you will lift your hair to a stunning all over blonde effect which is bright for the summer but still keeping dimension from the highlighting technique
    Another trend we are seeing to tie into the highlights is using…

    So what is Sunset Touch? 
    Sunset Touch is a trend based on the beautiful colour of the sunset. We all have had that moment when we take out…

  10. Blog: Common Causes Of Hair Loss

    Losing one’s hair on a daily basis (approximately 100 hairs) is totally normal, we all see this in the shower, bath or on our pillowcase. This is the body’s way of making space for new hair to grow, as our hair goes through stages of falling out (we will explain these stages in another blog).
    The daunting idea of losing one’s hair when you can see visible bald patches or white scalp shining through one’s hair, or in my case where my hairline is moving more and more back, is more serious and need…
