In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Polly

May 17, 2023

Polly’s hair looked quite fine at first sight. But as soon as I ran my hands through, could feel that it was so much thicker than it appeared. An unbalanced previous haircut hadn’t improved through lockdown, leaving...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Mollie

April 25, 2023

When someone wants rid of long thick soft golden red hair, my first thought is, why - when it’s so gorgeous? But change is a necessary part of getting us excited again, and especially after dreary lockdowns, it’s also...

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.

I love long hair. But sometimes it’s better to cut it back and start again fresh. Especially when the ends have suffered serious over-processing of colour on multiple occasions. And it’s great to have a change too.

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Marlenka

March 03, 2023

Flat oily hair? It could be your haircut. Marlenka always struggled to get any life in her hair. She said it always felt and looked oily. I explained just how the haircut wasn’t helping.

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Jack 2023

January 27, 2023

Would you let your twin brother cut your hair? How do you persuade a child to have their haircut? “What if James has a go at cutting your hair and we’ll film it and make you a Tik-Tok star!”...

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...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Natasha

August 02, 2021

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...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Sharon

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 - Kim

July 23, 2021

“It’s so flat and straight, and one side always flicks out. And can you get rid of the pink?” said Kim. I’ll walk you through why Kim struggled so much with her hair and what we did.

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...
