Warm it up because It's getting cold!

Warm and rich tones are in, it's just like florals at spring, it's no surprise and we are starting to see people ditch the blonde for a brunette as this seasons must-have! One of those clients was Takisha's client yesterday, she fancied a change and decided that turning to the dark side was the best choice. When Lilly came in she had a golden blonde base with regrowth coming through so her colour needed a pre-pig before just applying the colour. After the hair was prepped Takisha chose a brunette tone that would suit her client and also compliment her eye colour and skin tone. Settling on a beautiful Roasted Peacan brunette het hair was transformed!

Takisha works at our Lowergoat Lane salon, to book in with her and get your colour switched up give us a call on 01603 761176

Natch or Satch?!

Whether you're a natural blonde or a saturated mermaid we have got you covered. Today in salon we've been seeing a lot of mixed styles and we love celebrating diversity. Especially in hair! 

On the Left we have one of Kirstys clients who travelled here all the way from Manchester. When she arrived in salon she needed a bit of a top up on her roots but nothing to uniform and basic. Kirsty has done Taras before and has a master at beautiful free hand highlight technique which she loves. The pros of a this visual technique is it works incredible for an seamless blend among many others giving it a flawless finish.

On the Right we have one of Takisha clients who wasn't to shy is wanting bold and saturated colour to brighten up this time of year. Before she came in her hair was blonde but grown out from not colouring her hair for sometime. She wanted to be bold and purple was the perfect shade to ignite her personality and flatter her skin tone. With details of a darker root this colour is perfect for adding a sass factor to your image much like Roxanne wanted. 

Both of these Super Stylists work in our Lowergoat lane salon, to book in with them give us a call on 01603 761176

Are you ready to be enlightened?

Whether you are a home bleaching princess or a Salon lightener, blonde hair is always the most fun to have adventures with. Over the last few weeks in salon we have seen an increase in girls wanting to get peroxide fever and go maximum blonde! Last week in salon Amber's client Jessica came in for her crop to get the chop. She normally comes in salon to get her hair lightened and when she arrived her hair was mint green! Amber tidied up her locks and sharpened her up giving her a soft but textured style to match her eccentric mint hair and bold lips! 

Today Kirsty had in her awesome client Bonnie who has an icey obsession for cool and greyscale tones. After a great session with Wella professional Blondor and a special cocktail of Illumina shades she was ready for the foggy days ahead.

Both of these sassy styles were created in our Flagship salon situated in Norwich Lanes on Lowergoat Lane to book in with either Amber or Kirsty hit us up on 01603 761176.

It's just not worth the wait!

We live in a fast paced society where having to wait is becoming less of an issue for anything. Todays post is on hair extensions which we are increasingly doing a lot more of in salon! From keratin bonds which last up to 3 months, to tape ins that last a month, to installing wefts for special events Paul Standen-May is expanding and lengthening hair left right and centre! 

The biggest issue some of our clients are facing is having an issue with breakage at the front of the hair, this is mostly caused by using to much heat on the hair or it being finer and weaker..  Extensions are a great solution to this as they reduce the heat applied to weaker areas.

To book a consultation with Paul for extensions ring our salon on 01603 761176 but be cautious they are very addictive. 

Switching it up!

What's your hair tipple, is it vivid and bold or soft and natural.

 Recently Chelsea has been adventuring around with her look to find her autumn winter colour palette. Initially she wanted pink hair and rocked it for a week or two, after a while she decided it was fun for the weekend but not for her permanently. Luckily MCE (master colour expert) Amber Duffy was there to get her back to blonde but with a beautiful creamy blonde twist and a sunken root definition. 

The best bit about exploring with your colour are the possibilities are endless and discovering what suits you the best is the funnest part of seasonal / personal change. Are you switching up your image for autumn? 

Amber is also looking to build her freelance portfolio up working on shoots and events as she loves to be involved in creative projects.

(Amber works in our Lowergoat Lane salon Monday - Friday so to book a consultation with her contact us on 01603 761176) 

Oh-ma-plex!

So we've had a big transformation in salon today and you guessed it. It was using Olaplex!

Paul Standen-May has been working in Barcelona all week but returned to a big colour change waiting for his return. When Katie came into salon she had coloured hair at the base of a 7. Paul lifted her to a platinum blonde and toned to a creamy milky beige. Olaplex worked amazingly on not compromising Katie hair in the slightest and she's back to the blonde she wanted to be!

(Paul uses Olaplex in our Lowergoat Lane salon, for more information and to book a consultation ring us on 01603 761176)

We are in the Midi of something..

The Midi-bob has been around for a while now but in the salon this week it's the most requested style! 'Why?' We hear you scream, well there are definitely some great reasons to lose a few inches of length and reap some awesome benefits! 

It's that time of year where you don't need long hair.. Festival season is over so the long messy hair look is out and the chic midi is in, This style looks beautiful softly tousled or left natural if that bohemian look is your thing. The midi is super simple style as you literally have less hair to contend with but long enough to tie up on work days which is brilliant for the professional types too. The style itself is timeless and looks good whatever your dress sense is like.. So there's only one question left.. Are you brave enough to take the plunge?

Travel the world in Style!

When Travelling the world.. Travel in Style.

A few months ago we met an awesome character, Everyone Meet Sean. He popped into the salon when he was in the county to come and get his hair ready for festival season. He's been travelling the world and popped into see us just before he went with one of our clients Gema to Latitude and then Ibiza. He's documenting his amazing travels on his Instagram here!

The coolest thing about Seans transformation is he wasn't alone in getting mermaid hair. Gema who owns Indigo also got her hair transformed and they matched all summer long!

(To get your hair turned into my little pony hair give us a call on 01603 761176 and book a consultation with Paul Standen-may!)

Out with the old - PrePig for the new.

When you just need to strip it back to natural

When Tessa's client came into the salon today her previous style had grown out and and she wanted change. After stressing that she wanted to go back to natural with her hair the plan was set in motion to get her there. After deciding she was going to use ColourTouch by Wella professional to add more shine to her client, Tessa Pre-pigged the hair to make sure there would be no khaki tones present and got her back to her beautiful glossy natural colour.
