Today we received an unexpected phone call from a long standing client..... She wanted to explain why she hadn’t been in for her regular maintenance appointment for some time and inevitably your heart sinks and you brace yourself for a complaint. We were shocked and saddened to learn that she had been diagnosed with Cancer and had started chemotherapy treatment not long after she last visited us. She had consequently lost all her hair and therefore hadn’t been back. We were so humbled that this brave lady was more concerned that her favourite Stylist would think badly of her or worse that she was unhappy with their work and wanted to tell them personally how much she loved how her hair was done in the salon and she couldn’t wait to come back. Needless to say we were tearful and so was She. It got us thinking about how your relationship with your regular returning clients is so much more than doing their hair, lashes or nails. It’s an emotional attachment and a real relationship with real feelings and consideration for one another and what they must think of you. We’re all facing a tough time right now but this really reinforces the fact that there is always someone going through way harder times and we never truly know what burdens people may be carrying silently. We will be thinking of her and her journey and praying for a successful outcome. Big Love to you all 💗

BEACHY WEAVE Another happy gal who now has her dream Girly hair. The lovely Hayley came to us looking for some long luscious locks. We prescribed 150g of silky Russian weft fitted using an LA method for no slippage on her fine hair and complimenting her darker ends in Shade 4. Cut and shaped and finished off with an edgy loose beachy curl by @locksnlashes_by_bella.petra For your own extensions prescription, give us a yell to book in your consultation and colour match.

Come On Baby Light My Fire...... Now that’s a Colour Correction!! The gorgeous @thenamescerys loves her bright and show stopping colours. So she did the sensible thing and asked us to take her from washed out Mermaid to Fiery Vixen. Blue is the hardest colour to remove and sometimes it takes several steps so we agreed on this coppery red to cancel out the blue and green and combined this with bleach bathing and a dark root smudge for this Fireball result. Another skilled colour correction by @hairbyjordanbarrie For colour corrections that work, be sensible like Cerys and come to the experts. Full consultation required.
