In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Polly

December 09, 2021

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Ashley

Ashley’s haircut lacked versatility so needed adjusting. The A-Line one-length outline could just about work if it was always kept perfectly smooth. But’s that’s unrealistic and...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Amy

September 03, 2021

Long silky blonde hair. What’s not to like? Were we to look at hair in isolation, Amy could happily have left her hair as it was. But the beauty of hair is very much how...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Coral

August 15, 2021

Coral went from salon to salon, but never got the look she wanted. She was inspired by Princess Diana’s shorter layered haircut from Mario Testino’s 1997 shoot for Vanity Fair. It was the first time Diana had fully handed herself over to an editorial team of...

Lockdowns came and went. The novelty of a home box-dye wore off and the declining results eased their way into normality. For many people, the scraped back ponytail jostled seamlessly with...

July 29, 2021

Flat, straight and heavy. Sharon’s hair had been cut so short at the back and with no proper layering. The exaggerated long front then conspired to drag the whole look down. The very opposite of uplifting and energising which is what hair should do for the wearer...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Emma

July 16, 2021

Sometimes it’s hard to put your finger on the problem but you know it’s not right. Lank, lacklustre, lifeless, unresponsive and flat. Which it really shouldn’t be for Emma as she has great hair...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - James

July 16, 2021

Home working has encouraged many men to keep a longer look. But long or short, there’s one mistake that I keep coming across with new clients, which shortens the life of their haircuts and gives a less than optimum look...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Bridie

July 09, 2021

Fiddling too much with your hair? Taking too long to blowdry your style, that then doesn’t last? Resigned to thinking you’ve got bad hair? I bet you haven’t.

A great haircut transforms how you look, feel, and also...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Davida

July 02, 2021

People with curly hair suffer more with frizz. It’s the nature of the texture, but what many people don’t realise is how frizziness can be exaggerated by the haircut and the drying process. Shelf-like step layers make frizz much...
