Hi everyone, the start of another busy week and it has all kicked off on Monday with cutting and colour education for L’Oreal professional at the Charlie Miller Academy in Edinburgh and what an amazing day it was.

Hi everyone! As I said last week, there is so much to talk about for hair this Autumn that I’m continuing this week and giving you a little tutorial into the bargain. Finger waves for texture are another big story – soft, loose and a little dishevelled to create a modern texture to this very [...]
Fashion and hair trends are always one season ahead, so I am already thinking about Spring/Summer 2017.

Fringes and texture are where it’s at - fringes are mini short (Michelle calls them nugget) [...]

Amazing scenery, rugged landscape and tranquillity [...]

An amazing night of glamour, creativity and the best of British hairdressing - both in the spectacular hair shows and in the work created by the teams competing for the coveted L’Oreal Colour [...]
As much as I am a Kylie fan (her calendar has pride of place in the office) I have been surprised at the reaction from clients to the picture of her with what looked like a perm. “Are perms coming back and can I get one?” – some of the questions we are being asked [...]
Our Assistants today are tomorrow’s future hairdressing talent. Bringing out that talent can only be done my nurturing them, building strong foundations in training, and giving them a clear career path to follow. Guidance and support is essential in their success. I decided to ask them to sum up their role: ‘We are learning from [...]
