After weeks of sunshine, holidays and enjoying the longer days, your hair and skin may need some extra attention. This month we are sharing our tips and favourites to help restore shine, protect your colour and keep your beauty routine feeling effortless, keeping you refreshed and relaxed from head to toe. 

Don't forget we have air conditioning, enjoy your appointment with us, while keeping you cool in the hot weather.🔆

Looking after your hair through the summer months

Summer is made for sunshine, holidays and making memories, but while we are all enjoying the season, your hair colour is working hard to keep up!!
You may have noticed your hair colour looking a little lighter, brassier or less vibrant or generally more faded, the sunshine we have been having does make the difference.
🔆The UV rays break down the colour pigment in your hair causing it to lose vibrancy and shine.
🏊‍♀️The sea and swimming pools can strip moisture from the hair making it feel dry and more prone to fading.
🔥Hot weather, combined with styling tools can leave the hair dehydrated making it hard for your colour to stay rich and glossy.

Don't panic there are ways to help protect your colour....
Use a UV protection spray, like the rest of your body we use sunscreen to protect our skin, our scalp and hair need the same protection. Wearing a hat will also protect.
Use a professional shampoo and conditioner designed for coloured hair to help lock in your colour. Treat your hair to a treatment to restore moisture and shine.
A toner or gloss in between your regular appointments will help to refresh faded tones and bring back that salon fresh feel.

Whether your blonde, brunette or copper, the right products and treatments can help your colour stay vibrant throughout the summer if you would like personalised advice simply ask your Stylist on your next visit.

Keep your nails beautiful all summer long💅

Summer is great and we all want to make the most of it, but it can mean we just need to give our nails and hands a little extra care. The warm weather, swimming in the sea or pool and sunscreen are just a few things that can take their toll on your nails, hands and feet. We have a few great tips from our Beauty Specialists to help you.

🧴Moisturise every day, the sun, heat and air conditioning can dry out your hands and cuticles, apply a cuticle oil daily and finish with a nourishing cream to keep nails and skin strong and hydrated.

💧Keep Hydrated, healthy nails and skin start from within. Drink plenty of water helps prevent nails from becoming dry and brittle.

🏖️Swimming, sunscreen and heat can discolour and dry out your nails and skin. Rinse your hands after swimming or applying sunscreen and moisturise regularly.

🧤Be Kind, avoid using your nails to open or remove things as this can chip or lift the nail leading to breakages. Wear gloves when possible to protect your hands.

🗓️Keep up with your appointments, regular maintenance helps keep your nails and skin looking their best and keeps them healthy all year round.

Team News

Our Senior Stylist, Sophie will be making a small change to her hours and working a Friday once a month.
Sophie will be working a Friday instead of a Saturday during the month, her overall hours will be the same but the change allows a little more balance while still offering plenty of appointments throughout the month. So if Friday is a day that works for you there is more opportunity to book with Sophie. She is still available Saturdays but slightly more limited.
