In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Poppy Towers

February 04, 2023

I first met Poppy in the salon this month for a makeover. Yet when Poppy turned up (above right image), I liked her hair as it was. But then Poppy explained, and I understood. She’d washed her hair and applied our LifeSaver UV before she left the house. She arrived with it naturally dried in soft beachy waves.

Poppy showed me this picture (above left) taken in July 2021 before she started using LifeSaver Treatments. She'd been using our products for 18 months before this visit, and her hair had changed from the thin, brittle and broken you can see in this picture to soft, shiny and thick today.

LifeSaver UV is so versatile and it’s the ‘go-to’ product for my own hair.

So Poppy's hair wasn't the usual ‘before’ horrors. Some lumps were missing from the old haircut on the left and the roots ready for colour, but we could deal with that.

Poppy wanted to get her hair longer and thicker, so we had a clear plan for cut, colour and aftercare. And that started now by giving a much better layered shape which instantly elongated and revitalised the hair.

She liked being a bright blonde and we showed her how keeping more contrast from her natural base could give a brighter look with more dimension and a much healthier way to colour hair.

Our colour expert Bernadett used a combination of techiques including balayage and different highlights to achieve a brighter blonde look while maintaining good condition and natural shine. Minimal bleach was used in the process.

“I love my new hair and I’m a true fan of all the Michael Van Clarke products I’ve used – they’ve really helped change the texture and quality of my hair for the better!” - Poppy Towers

We washed with Cashmere Protein UV Protective Shampoo and Cashmere Protein UV Protective Conditioner. A little LifeSaver UV calms and defines the waves and treats the hair at the same time. We used a little Volumising Mousse to enhance thickness and texture whilst stylist lightly with our Round Styling Brush.

Gaby's Bakery - Sticky Toffee Mini Cakes

March 25, 2023

Michael says that a full serving of sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice-cream is just too much of a sugar-rush. Here's a bite-sized twist with a buttercream topping that still melds all the oozing tastes and textures without the pump and dump mood swing.

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Tara

March 24, 2023

I love long hair. But sometimes you can have too much of a good thing, and if it’s not cut properly it can drown the wearer and make shampoo-days a dreaded event. Tara had gorgeous hair but the haircut had no shape. Just the usual...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Kazz

March 18, 2023

I don’t normally start by showing the back. But the breakage and damage was so bad that the entire top portion at the back had snapped off. Kazz had been paying a lot for hair colouring and for regular Olaplex treatments over the years. Yet her extremely damaged hair quality was something I regularly see. Unnecessarily weak thin broken hair, and dull colour.
