News & Inspiration

Spring/Summer trends are here and our Colour Director and Art Team member, Amelia Evans, talks us through some of the key colour trends to consider this year.

Mushroom and expensive browns are popular with celebrities such as Hailey Beiber. These colour trends are perfect for previous balayage blondes who are looking to embrace their natural selves and also still want to have dimension. Adding a face frame or some gentle lights will elevate all-over colours and create light-reflecting natural tones.

Cherry Cola, yes, think of your fave fizzy sweet and how sparkly and rich they are then visualize this beautiful tone, full of burgundy red and warm brown tones. This is the TikTok colour of the moment, very grunge and Y2K colour trends are still massive within fashion.

Vanilla Latte Highlights – this is for those who are bored of being super blonde and want a more lived-in sandy approach to their hair. Adding some lightened areas using a selection of highlighting techniques, a glazed glossing of honey and a slight pearl pinky tone over the top will complete this beautiful, multi-dimensional feel.

The Butterfly Bob is the latest adaptation of the classic Bob. It’s more relaxed, has more layers and includes the addition of a curtain fringe that frames around the eyes or cheekbones depending on length. Artistic Director, Jamie Benny, explains who this suits best. 

“This is a versatile style that can be shaped to suit all hair textures. The purpose of the Butterfly Bob is to create a heart-shaped face, through the framing of the front layering which means it can also be tailored to all face shapes. If you love the shape but are not willing to go shorter, then consider keeping the length but adding the curtain fringe that travels from the bridge of the nose, curving around the cheekbones to open the face and narrow the jaw area.

the style is also very versatile, which adds to its popularity. Jenna Ortega has a straight version that enhances the shape of the cut and Zendaya wore hers with a more glamorous edge. She has less of a fringe but still the rounded shape frames her face. the best thing about styling the Butterfly Bob, because of the layering, framing and texture, is that even with different hair types, textures and densities, the shape can be structured so that it is easy to style at home. It should be cut to enhance the natural form and structure of your hair so it’s simple to maintain.”

If you would like to know more about the Butterfly Bob or any style refresh, book a complimentary consultation and our team will be happy to chat through the best options for you, your hair and your lifestyle. Contact either our Esher salon or our hair salon in Fitzrovia, Central London.

Synopsis:
Shattered Optics is a collection of wearable bespoke hairstyles designed to elevate commercial trends. Strong shapes and lines have been corrupted with extreme texturizing. A diverse pallet of warm and cool reds and earthy tones creates a base of block colours, disrupted with conflicting panels and flashes to highlight and frame focal points.

Welcome to 2024 and our New Year news! We have a strong feeling that this is going to be a powerful and positive year. Not only do we celebrate our 10th anniversary later in the year we’re kick-starting it with our new salon partner – Davines. 

The team spent months researching various salon brands and Davines is a company that aligns with our values and vision. Sustainable and stylish, Davines is a B corp brand with the determination to do good for each other and the planet. We visited their carbon-neutral headquarters in Parma, Italy where they grow plants, fruit trees and vegetables for their research and development laboratories to test and experiment with different samples of natural ingredients.

We’ve undergone intensive training and can’t wait to share our knowledge with you. For all colour clients, please note that a new skin sensitivity test came into place on November 16th 2023. If you haven’t taken this test yet, please ensure you pick one up from the salon at least 48 hours before your next colour appointment. And trust us when we say,  the colour performance is unrivalled. We know you will love this brand as much as we do. That’s all for our New Year news this year, we will catch you in 12 months! And don’t forget, you can contact the teams at our hair salon in Fitzrovia and Esher salon for more information!

Synopsis
Introducing “Hardcore Happiness”. I took inspiration from the 90s rave culture, with the energy of a street-style photographic story.  Colour is inspired by the effects of club light and lasers hitting the hair – bold panels and shine bands all wrapped up with a rooted DIY attitude.
