There are many different hair extension methods to consider and clients have their own preference to the method they prefer. We want to run through some pros and cons of each method and answer common questions about hair extensions for those of you wanting to learn more.

  2. Blog: All I want for Christmas...

    No festive season would be complete without a magical dusting of sparkle and for me that means literally head-to-toe sequins! That’s how I dress if I’m in London but it couldn't be more different to my Christmas wardrobe back home in Cape Town, where I pretty much live in my teensy tiny Speedos!
    When I’m there it’s all about spending time with my family and friends, either at a BBQ on our farm or perhaps cocktails at the beach house. Either way it’s super laidback, with lazy hours spent soaking…

    As 2022 is drawing to a close, we’re calling on your support and understanding again. The cost of electricity and products has soared in recent months, with the salon absorbing those…

  10. Blog: Are you following the Curtain Up rule?

    I don’t know about you, but I’m generally pretty punctual. I’ve been an actor for over 30 years and the one thing you learn as an actor is that if the curtain goes up at 7:30 you’re NEVER late!
    But how many times have you joined a Webinar or a Zoom call and heard the Chair say, ‘We’ll just wait a few minutes for the others to join’? The stragglers eventually turn up by about five or ten past, with no apology for their lateness, having wasted your valuable time.
    The tradition in the theatre is…
