In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Sharon

July 08, 2025

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 - Alice

July 04, 2025

I’d like to say Alice’s haircut was unusual when she arrived, but sadly it sported all the errors I see on 95% of new clients these days. Essentially a badly...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Saffy

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...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Natasha

June 12, 2025

A common problem with home colouring is both overlapping and missing so much of the hair. Where overlapping tint builds up too much, the hair can turn to dead black. Not the dark brown Natasha was hoping for. It’s then a complex professional process to correct this.

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Isabella

June 06, 2025

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.

Is your hair drowning you? Einstein told us that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be changed from one form to another. Friction energy into heat energy, heat into light, light into electricity, us into daisies eventually etc. it’s endlessly morphing into something else but the amount of matter/energy in the Universe is finite.

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Amy

May 29, 2025

Cut, Condition and Colour. Why these 3 steps all count in getting curl and movement. Amy wanted to wear her hair fuller sometimes, more vamped up. She found it difficult to put bend into the hair, and if she managed, it wouldn’t last.

In this series of blogs, we look at the common mistakes hairdressers make, and how to get the best out of your hair.

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Tara

May 02, 2025

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...

Frizzy hair can be a struggle. Unfortunately, it’s made much worse by poor haircutting, and by many of the hair products that tame frizz for today, but create more frizz tomorrow.

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.

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.
