The best way of finding a new hairdresser is through recommendation.
If you see a friend or colleague that have a fantastic style, go and ask them where they had it done and who was their stylist.

If you are nervous, book in for a free consultation or just a blow-dry to get the feel for the place.

Bring pictures in to show what your inspiration is. This is a great way to explain a difficult style.

Dont be afraid to ask questions regarding maintenance, product use and other suggestions your stylist will discusse to get the best out of your hair.

The most important bit is that you feel your stylist fully
understand what you wish to have and that you feel you have a open communication with your stylist.

If you are new to colouring we would recommend a Sebastian Cellophane color shine that will just color your top layer of your hair and fade away over a short period of time.

If you would like something a little bit more lasting you can go for
L’Oreal Diacolor which will tone your hair but without the regrowth a permanent color will give.

If you are after something more lasting you can go for some fine
weaved high lights within the hair so it will not show much on your parting as it grows out. A recommended permanent color would be L’Oreal Luo color which will give a translucent natural tone to your hair.

A paddle brush is a great brush to use for smoothing and straightening. It is great to use on long one length hair but also on a longish bob.

A Denman brush is a fantastic brush to use on a short bob or a medium layered hair as it will create a sleek finish with volume on the roots.

A round brush is a great tool for medium to long layered styles. To create volume and and kick to the ends use a heat retainer brush. For best result cool the hair in the brush as this will set the hair and create a beautiful tousled look.

For more a lasting look we would recommend the ghd tools. They have come out with a new range that are fabulous for various finishes.

ghd V gold comes in 3 sizes. Max, Classic and Mini. Glimmering gold accents and plates and an enhanced design give the ghd V gold stylers a luxe feel. Smoother gold plates glide effortlessly through the hair to make straightening on all hair types and lengths even quicker and easier, while their contoured edges help to create perfect curls and waves, all with a high shine, salon-style finish.

To start off with protecting your hair we would recommend Redken Smooth Lock Shampoo and Conditioner. It delivers almond oil and thermo - activated polymer to deeply nourish, protect and tame your hair with lasting effect. For styling we would firstly recommend Redken Pillow proof Express Primer. It will even out your hair porosity and also protect from heat. This primer can be used in combination with any other styling product. When using the Ghd Irons, we would recommend to finish off with Redken Iron Shape. This Thermal spray heat protects up to 450 F / 320 C but also gives added hold and shine to your curls.

 

I have white / grey hair and would like to use a product that will neutralise the yellowish tones. What would you recommend?

If you would like a product that there is no commitment to we would recommend Loreal Shine Blond Shampoo.

The anti yellowing agent in the shampoo will neutralise the unwanted tones in your hair and replace it with a glossy smooth finish.

When you are shampooing your hair make a lather.You can leave it on the hair for a few minutes to get a stronger result. Make sure you wash your hands immediately after use as a bluish residual veil may remain on them.

If it is a conditioner you are after we would recommend Redken Blonde Idol Custom-Tone Conditioner Violet for Cool Blondes. It comes with Kera-Bright System to preserves tone and keeps your blonde brilliant between salon visits.

It has a dual-chamber that releases a custom calibrated blend of colour-depositing and conditioning formulas that can be adjusted as needed over time.
It is Violet, for cool or platinum blondes, helps neutralise brassiness.
It will deeply condition, strengthen and help preserve tonality between salon visits.
 

We use Kerastraight Keratin Treatment. It smoothes your hair without damaging or changing its structure. The treatment can be use on all hair types, including hair that has been chemically treated i.e. coloured, permed, relaxed, highlighted and bleached.

Because the Keratin treatment does not contain Formaldehyde, it will not straighten your hair until it is flat and lifeless, but it will leave it straighter and smoother. If you have frizzy hair or tight curls it will loosen and smooth them so you can then just wash and leave – plus it makes it VERY easy to blow-dry your straight.

The application process takes anywhere between 2 to 4 hours depending on the length and thickness of your hair. After the product is applied, it is sealed with a hot flat-iron which traps moisture, hydrates the hair, and creates an brilliant glossy finish. Results are visible immediately and the hair looks healthy and glossy.

Taking care of your hair after the Kerastraight Keratin Treatment is simple and the amount of time required to style your hair will decrease dramatically, in some cases its wash and go, others require some blow drying and minimum styling time. This treatment restores hair resiliency so that humidity, rain, or sweat will no longer leave you with frizzy hair!

The results last from two to four months and the straightening treatment fades progressively as hair is washed. As you repeat the treatment every few months or so, you will be able to see the improved quality of hair grown after the Kerastraight Keratin Treatment was applied.

We also do a Keratin treatment that lasts up to 30 days. we do a Moisture Mask or a Protein Mask.

The Moisture Mask is a highly concentrated treatment packed with lightweight moisture capturing ingredients Palmeira Tucuma and Carob Bean Extract. This nutrient-rich mask repairs & re-hydrates dry and damaged hair, leaving it feeling sumptuously soft and renewed with sensational shine.

The Protein Mask is an advanced blend of hydrolysed wheat proteins, designed to repair and reconstruct your hair. It forms a protein net which transforms fine, weak and damaged hair, leaving behind hair that shines, is significantly stronger and incredibly soft to touch.
