Transform Your Hair With A Keratin Treatment

19 Feb 2025

At Hare & Bone, we offer a range of extensive luxury hair care treatments in both our Fitzrovia salon and our Esher branch to keep your hair in its best possible condition. Today, we will focus on keratin treatments, what they are, the hair types that could benefit from them, and what you can expect during an appointment.

A keratin hair treatment can transform your hair into a more refined, smooth version of what you currently have. It’s perfect for reducing frizz, controlling volume and enhancing manageability resulting in straighter, silkier hair.

Here are some of the signs that you could benefit from a keratin treatment to help you achieve the silky smooth hair that you’ve always dreamt of!

You’re battling with frizz:

Frizz is a popular reason for those who decide to book in for a keratin treatment. This is because hair that’s prone to frizz is often lacking in the necessary nutrients and moisture.

Keratin treatments can be amazing for combatting frizz, so even if there are high humidity levels in the air, your hair is not going to suffer.

You struggle to style your hair:

If you struggle to style your hair and find that blow drying or other forms of heat styling don’t work particularly well, a keratin treatment could help by smoothing out unwanted kinks while rebuilding the hair and strengthening it.

Your hair is brittle or dry:

With the growing use of heat tools, dry hair has become a common complaint. Dry or brittle hair can also happen due to using the wrong hair products, eating an unbalanced diet or even overexposure to the sun, which can dehydrate the hair. A keratin treatment can not only improve the straightness of hair but also improve and rebuild the hair’s structure by rehydrating and nourishing each strand.

Your hair is prone to split ends and breakage:

Another common complaint of those seeking keratin treatments is that they cannot grow their hair because it is prone to split ends and breakage. If your hair is prone to breakage, it is often a sign that it lacks protein and could benefit from the unique protein technology within a keratin smoothing treatment. Once your hair is healthier, you should have no problems growing long lengths.

You’re unhappy with your curls:

If you’re unhappy with your curls, your curls have become unruly, or you would simply like to transform your look and adopt straighter tresses, a keratin hair treatment could be perfect for you. If you’ve been straightening your hair as a short-term solution and need something longer-term, this is also an ideal solution.

A keratin treatment will smooth naturally curly hair into straight hair whilst also repairing any damage and strengthening the hair.

2025 hairstyles: Embrace the trends with HARE & BONE

16 Jan 2025

The year 2025 marks an exciting era for hair trends, with styles that celebrate individuality, artistry, and bold expressions. At HARE & BONE, we’re dedicated to staying ahead of the curve, helping you achieve a look that feels fresh, innovative, and undeniably you. Whether you’re stepping into our dynamic Fitzrovia salon or finding calm creativity at our Esher salon, our team is here to guide you through the most striking hairstyles of the year ahead.

From sleek and powerful to textured and adorned, here’s what we predict will define the looks of 2025.

Smooth and slicked back

We believe one of the defining features of 2025 hairstyles will be the sleek, slicked-back look. Minimalist yet commanding, this trend emphasises control and precision, creating a polished aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from day to night. It’s perfect for all hair lengths and textures, offering an edge that feels both bold and refined.

To achieve this look, our stylists will use precision techniques with high-shine gels and finishing sprays to deliver that flawless, glass-like finish. Whether worn with a deep side part or a low ponytail, the slicked-back style is all about making an impact.

Waves and more waves

Waves remain a versatile favourite, but in 2025 hairstyles, we see them being reimagined with sharper structures and more defined textures. Think statement beach waves with a lived-in edge or sculpted styles that redefine high-fashion aesthetics. Waves are an excellent way to add energy and movement to your look.
Our stylists use advanced heat-styling tools and techniques to craft waves that last, adding texture and definition tailored to your hair type. With the right professional products to protect and enhance your hair, waves take on a bold, effortless finish that works for any occasion. Whether your hair is short, medium, or long, waves are universally appealing and endlessly adaptable.

Hair that’s adorned

Continuing our 2025 hairstyles predictions, we believe that accessories will be taking centre stage, transforming hair into a canvas for creativity. From metallic pins and shimmering ribbons to oversized bows and pearl accents, adorned hair is all about making a statement that feels personal and unapologetic.
This trend offers something for everyone, whether you lean toward understated sophistication or bold, standout pieces. Our team loves collaborating with clients to find the perfect accessory to amplify their look, turning even the simplest hairstyle into an unforgettable moment.

Fringes of all kinds

Fringes are making a powerful comeback in 2025 hairstyles, offering a fast and striking way to refresh your look. From sweeping curtain bangs to sharp, blunt fringes, there’s a style to match every personality and face shape.

Pairing fringes with sleek finishes or textured layers adds dimension and a sense of individuality to your look. At HARE & BONE, we customise each fringe to perfectly complement your features, ensuring it’s as effortless to maintain as it is impactful.

Bobs are here to stay

We firmly believe bobs will continue to hold their ground as a signature choice for 2025 hairstyles, with endless ways to elevate this iconic look. Asymmetrical cuts, razor-sharp edges, and textured finishes bring fresh energy to the bob, making it a go-to style for those who want something versatile yet dynamic.
Whether you’re seeking a bold transformation or a refined upgrade, the bob delivers a balance of edge and innovation. Our stylists tailor every bob to reflect your personality and lifestyle, ensuring it feels tailored and forward-thinking.

Fringe forward: top fringe hairstyles taking over in 2025

13 Jan 2025

Fringe hairstyles are defining 2025. More than just an accent to a haircut- they’re a statement all of their own. From soft, sweeping layers to bold, structured designs, fringes are the ultimate way to refresh your look with personality and flair.

Whether it’s within our Fitzrovia salon or our Esher salon, our expert team is at the forefront of this fringe movement, creating personalised fringe hairstyles that bring out the best in every client. Let’s explore the fringe hairstyles shaping the new year and how they’re setting the standard for creativity and individuality.

2025’s most desired fringe styles

This year, fringe hairstyles are as versatile as they are eye-catching, offering options to suit every preference and hair type:

Heavy Fringe:

Thick and full, this style is bold, enhancing bone structure and giving your look a strong, striking edge.

Bottleneck Bangs:

A soft blend of curtain bangs and face-framing layers add movement and structure while keeping the overall look natural and effortless.

Micro Fringes:

Short and sharp, this style adds precision and drama for those ready to embrace an impactful change.

Birkin Bangs:

Inspired by the classic French style of Jane Birkin, these fringes feature textured edges and a relaxed feel, offering an understated, timeless finish.

Curtain Bangs:

A retro-inspired, Bridgette Bardot favourite that continues to turn heads, providing a flattering frame for the face with just the right balance of texture and flow.

Cheekbone-Skimming Fringes:

Tailored to highlight your features, this versatile fringe can be adjusted to suit everything from playful, choppy looks to smoother, polished finishes.

Fringes are no longer a one-size-fits-all concept-they’re as individual as the person wearing them, allowing endless opportunities to refine and personalise your look.

The beauty of a tailored fringe

In 2025, fringe hairstyles are all about customisation. Each style can be adapted to suit your face shape, hair texture, and personal preferences, ensuring a result that feels completely unique.

This year’s fringes will fuse multiple styles to create something fresh and dynamic, whether it’s the combination of bottleneck bangs with textured cheekbone-skimming lengths or the pairing of a heavy fringe with a softer edge. It’s this blend of creativity and personalisation that makes fringes the standout choice for 2025.

At both HARE & BONES’s Fitzrovia hair salon and our Esher hairdressers, we work closely with each client to design a fringe that doesn’t just compliment their look, it enhances their individuality.

How to style and maintain your fringe

To keep your fringe looking its best, it’s essential to combine the right styling techniques with regular care. Here’s how:

Use the right products:

A texturising spray such as Davines’ This is a Dry Texturizer is perfect for fringes like bottleneck bangs, adding volume and movement, while a lightweight oil works wonders for creating definition and shine. For sleeker styles, a smoothing cream keeps hair looking refined. We recommend the LOVE Smoothing Perfector by Davines.

Master blow-drying:

Use a round brush to shape and soften your fringe or straighteners for sharper, more precise styles. Blow-drying in sections ensures your fringe sits exactly as intended. Always use a heat protection spray. The OI All In One Milk by Davines is a leave-in hydrating treatment that protects from heat, controls frizz, and adds shine and softness.

Stay on top of maintenance:

Fringes need regular trims to maintain their shape and prevent them from growing out too quickly. In between salon visits, use our salon-recommended products to keep hair healthy and manageable.

For those seeking extra care, both our Fitzrovia and Esher salons offer bespoke treatments that restore and maintain hair vitality, ensuring your fringe stays fresh and full of life.

Why fringe hairstyles are here to stay

Fringes are the perfect way to transform your look without committing to a full haircut. Whether soft and flowing or bold and structured, fringes bring new energy to any style, offering versatility and personality.

What makes fringe hairstyles so alluring is their universal appeal. They work beautifully with all hair textures and lengths and can be adapted to suit different moods and occasions. In our salons, where individuality meets creativity, fringes are in the lead as the must-have look for 2025.

HARE & BONE’S top selection of hairstyles for a christmas party!

12 Dec 2024

As the festive season draws near, it’s the perfect time to start planning for those exciting holiday celebrations with the best hairstyles for a Christmas party. Whether you’re attending an office gathering, a casual get-together, or a formal occasion, the right hairstyle can be what completes your look, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. In 2024, we’re embracing a blend of elegance, playfulness, and practicality in our hair choices, ensuring you not only look stunning but feel confident and comfortable throughout the night.

From effortlessly polished styles which are ideal for the office to playful yet elegant options for casual gatherings, we’ve curated a selection of the best hairstyles for every type of Christmas celebration. Whether it’s the timeless essence of Hollywood waves or the sleek sophistication of a low bun, each look is designed to complement both your style and the spirit of the season.

Let’s explore the top hairstyles for a Christmas party that will have you shining at any holiday event.

Office party looks

-Sleek, polished styles
For an office Christmas party, sleek hairstyles offer a stylish look. Whether your hair is long or short, a sleek high ponytail or slicked-back pixie are versatile options that stay in place and exude confidence. These looks will keep you poised and party-ready, no matter how the evening unfolds.

-Soft, effortless waves
You could consider loose waves for a softer, more relaxed office look. This effortless style adds a touch of sophistication without feeling overdone, perfect for transitioning from day to night. A light mist of hairspray will keep your waves intact throughout the event.

Casual gatherings with style

-Bold braids
Braids are amongst the most perfect casual hairstyles for a Christmas party. They’re a great combination of stylish but practical which suits well with casual gatherings. You could add colourful ribbons or hairpins that hint at the season while maintaining a contemporary look with a festive twist.

-Relaxed messy buns
A messy bun is an easy yet stylish option for more informal events. Quick to style and maintain, this look can be elevated with a touch of texturising spray for added volume and a casual yet finished feel.

Formal affairs: understated elegance

– Hollywood waves
When discussing hairstyles for a Christmas party, Hollywood waves never go out of style and are the perfect choice for a formal holiday event. These voluminous, glossy curls exude timeless opulence and pair beautifully with elegant evening attire. Use a high-quality mousse for volume and finish with a shine serum for a flawless, glossy finish.

-Sleek low bun
For a timeless, sophisticated look, a sleek low bun is both effortless and stunning. This hairstyle means that you will look polished, without the need for touch-ups. A strong-hold cream will keep everything in place while maintaining an elegant but simple look.

Active celebrations: functional finishes

-Half-Up, Half-Down

If you’re attending a more active gathering, a half-up, half-down style could be the perfect balance between practical and stylish as it keeps your hair off your face whilst still showing off your lengths. Consider adding seasonal accessories like metallic clips or jewel-toned pieces for a subtle festive touch.

-Textured ponytail

One of the best casual options when it comes to hairstyles for a Christmas party is a textured ponytail. This offers a laid-back vibe, making it ideal for more chilled or active settings. You can achieve a relaxed, tousled look with a touch of salt spray for texture, keeping your hairstyle functional yet effortlessly stylish.

Finishing touches of elegance

For that extra touch of sophistication, you could complete your holiday hairstyle with luxurious accessories like bows, velvet headbands, or gold claw clips. We also recommend investing in high-quality styling products to ensure long-lasting hold and radiant shine, keeping your look fresh throughout the night.

The art of creative colours

2 Nov 2024

Creative colours come in an array of vibrant shades, and are all about self-expression, whilst working with your skin tone and facial features. These unique and beautiful colours come in everything from jewel tones to elevated pastels and can give a real editorial feel to your look.

Whether at our London Fitzrovia hair salon or our salon in Esher, Surrey, our highly trained team specialise in creative colour techniques, ensuring precision and artistry. Our clients receive tailored advice on colour selection and techniques that best suit their style, skin tone, bone structure and hair type.

The possibilities for creative colours are as limitless as your imagination so whether you opt for a striking transformation or more of an understated elegance, a skilled member of our team will be able to craft a look designed just for you.

Let’s look at some of our favourite techniques for incorporating creative colours. From bold statements to soft colour blends, these methods can bring personality to any hairstyle.

Elevated pastels

Pastel colours are often associated with the summer because of their soft, air-like qualities but they can easily be adapted to work all year round.Dual toning can be achieved by creating areas of depth and shadowing to elevate pastel tones, giving hair a more couture likeness.

These looks are semi-permanent, so if you desire a short-term transformation, perhaps to make a statement at an upcoming event, this could be the perfect solution. With the flexibility of choosing how long the effect lasts, you can enjoy your new style without the commitment.

Colour blocking

Colour blocking is a technique that involves colouring specific panels or sections of hair in contrasting shades. We enjoy creating everything from black-and-white Cruella-esque looks to Y2K copper blocking or bright stand-out money pieces on otherwise natural hair. 

The colour-blocking technique works amazingly for those with buzz cuts, where patterns can be created on the surface of shorter hair.

Metallic colours

From golden blondes to strong silvers and warm bronzes, we love to produce dynamic metallic looks for our clients. The nature of the metallic shades helps to create depth throughout the hair and adds shine.

Popular with our clients looking for an exciting twist to hair colour, the overall look can be bold with a high gloss finish or as subtle as a shimmer on the hair.

Jewel-toned colours 

Stand out from the crowd with jewel-toned hair that takes inspiration from gemstones. From stunning Fuschia shades to emerald to sapphire, the variations for jewel-toned hair are endless and can be adapted to suit your undertone. For those with a busy lifestyle, opt for a root melt blend that extends into your brighter-coloured hair to prolong the time between appointments.

Understated elegance

If you’re looking for understated elegance, you may wish for something like highlights or a balayage, where hair is painted with soft delicate strokes, to create a dimensional and natural look that gives a sunkissed effect to your hair.

Caring for creative colours

Depending on the creative colour, your hair might need to be bleached first, so you must take care of it to avoid damage. We check the health of your hair before applying any colour and can add recommended treatments to ensure your hair is in optimum health before colouring. You must invest in professional aftercare products and even in-salon treatments to keep hair healthy and colour-locked in between appointments. We recommend the Davines MINU range for lasting colour vibrancy, particularly the MINU Hair Serum, which seals in colour pigments with its moisturising formula and provides unmatched shine.

If you would like to know more about how we can craft a creative colour bespoke to you in our London, Fitzrovia salon or Esher hair salon we would love to hear from you.
