In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Lizzie

January 16, 2025

Lizzie was a bit overwhelmed by her hair. She called it a lion's mess, as opposed to a lion's mane, which was a shame as she had great quality hair, but it didn't benefit from the simplistic one-step long Bob she came in with.

Coupe Sauvage was the brief. That French term from the 1970s encapsulating all lengths of very layered, textured, vibrant styles that hinted at the sexuality of wild, rampant and raw. And growing out tint isn't always successful, most people return to having colour, but Julie's was a rare case where the...

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 worse as...

Bad hair can creep up on you. Time is scarce. Life gets too busy and you put yourself last. Hair starts to take longer and longer at home to get less and less of a style.

What do you have to do to get noticed? Rubi had a clear idea what she wanted. A crisper looking Bob. But when Rubi posted a reel on Instagram and a lot of the comments said they saw no difference.

December 06, 2024

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 - Rosie

November 29, 2024

Sometimes a more dramatic change is called for and Rosie was clearly in the mood for something different.

Some days she thought about a very short crop but I thought that was a look we could ease towards gradually. We could start today with a short transformation into a sassy, chic, shorter layered

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Kazz

November 22, 2024

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.

When an industry gangs up on its customers to suit itself, it never ends well. Eventually the mis-selling and other scandals come to light, then the providers close ranks, obfuscate, and gaslight the customers into thinking they are in the wrong or they themselves are the problem.

If you're not a client of ours and have long layered hair, there's a 98% chance that you have this haircut on the left. The lazy A-line and 3-Step Bob. Some get 4-Steps! Each clunky step thinned out to try to disguise the clumsiness of a hairstyle that hasn't been properly layered

Kids grow up fast enough as it is, in my humble opinion. So, I’ve never been fond of the American pageant ideal of getting ten-year-olds to look like Dolly Parton. But what style for a thirteen-year-old? It's a difficult age for girls, the 13-17 stage, as they mature quickly and...
