Tweet Last week me and my little family headed down to London for a little city break. Whilst I was there I had an hour or two of ‘mum’ time by popping into the Aveda Institute, a huge, sleek one stop beauty shop with a hairdressers, spa, shop, cafe, nail bar and more! Just a 5 minute walk from my hotel, I turned up to experience the Invati Scalp Treatment and a Cut and Blow Dry. (Read my review of {Read More}
Tweet I was invited for a cut and colour at FOUR London, a sexy hair salon with a boutique feel on Conduit Street, Mayfair last week and was very, very excited. A hair cut and colour was long, long overdue and I was prepared for the numb bum. FOUR London is the brainchild of four hair colour specialists, Brooke Bohan, Maleeka Taher, Denise Arnold and Charlie Double. The four of them were trained and worked at Jo Hansford and have {Read More}
Tweet With a growing out perm and generally very dry hair, I came to the realisation that I was slowly morphing into a scarecrow. My hair is so hard to style and maintain so I jumped at the chance to try out Global Keratin’s (or GKhair) hair straightening treatment, currently exclusive to Cobella in Selfridges, London. My stylist was Mihaly, a handsome Hungarian hairdresser with over 20 years experience and had been specifically trained in the straightening technique. He also shared {Read More}
Tweet To be honest, I not longer have a go to hairdresser in my home town because I haven’t found anyone amazing to go back to. The last year I’ve been to London to get my hair and colour done. When I saw the Wahanda deal (Hair cut, conditioning treatment and blow dry) for just £17 for Mufti Hairdressers* I had to indulge! Mainly because the hairdressers is in a handy city centre location, the price is good and I {Read More}
Tweet Just a shout out for Jamie Stevens, who cut my hair very nicely (at the Errol Douglas salon) as he is a nominee for UK Celebrity Hairdresser of the Year 2010. Jamie is the resident hairstylist on Gok’s Fashion Fix and How to Look Good Naked. His list of celebrity clients includes Kylie Minogue, Stella McCartney, Eva Herzigova and Gok Wan. And he cut my mop. So that’s a good reason as any to vote for him. You can {Read More}
Tweet I was invited to Taylor Taylor hair salon (their Cheshire Street branch) for a colour so went along on the IMATS weekend. It was blardy freezing and it was quite a trek to the salon…but someone didn’t bring the map I had painstakingly taken 3 minutes to print out, and someone expected us to use our internal Sat Navs to find out way there. Amazingly enough we got there on time. Down past Brick Lane, which was rather cool, {Read More}
Tweet I generally find going to the hairdressers traumatic – too much chatter, weak coffee and hair I totally didn’t want at the end of it. Scary stuff. So my experience with Karine Jackson’s hair salon began well – I planned to visit whilst I was down in London so they sent me a skin allergy test, to see if I turned nasty on contact with PPD (a chemical in hair dye which turns some people out in terrible rashes): {Read More}
