Hair Colour Studio

....and here it is full blown autumn heading into Winter! Not sure how it all happened but in 4 weeks time it will be Christmas and we sure can tell with the festive adverts in full swing, we got a penguin, A ginger stall, Fairies... but my favourite has got to be the Sainsbury's War Truce ad.... it just pulls all the right strings really.... plus there is Otto! Christmas for us hair stylists is as you can imagine a manic time as we try to juggle between a busy work diary and try to squeeze a social life too! Since our last blog we had some more busy times, more recently had a fab shoot for quality accessories brand Likemary ( www.likemary.com )  Now being a rooftop shoot sounds cool and fun, however when there is a sudden turn of weather to crispier temperatures - it does become a little bit more challenging! - probably a little bit more for the model - thankfully she had quite a few lovely shawls to cosy up with! But how do we winter-proof our hair? - here are a f

We have been busy busy busy.... and as they say time flies when you are having fun. Yes we have worked hard but it was also fun... SO while you may (or not) have realised that the rants slowed down we were keeping ourselves with very much our hands full! So much has happened the last month... Firstly, it was very much time for a re-vamp, and when you want to do that with a brand it takes just a little bit more than simply going to buy an outfit and a bit of grooming! New images were essential.... so it was photo shoot time! Castings over, models chosen, date set..... GO! The usual suspects (that would be our creative team) were at it again. Thanks to our lovely models: Anita, Brendan, Devora and Katja who were all a pleasure to work with........ #happydays Make-up artist Graziella Vella (www.graziellavella.com) sorting out the finishing touches on Katja. Anita and photographer Edgar Brambis. (www.edgarbrambis.com) By the end of it all we were exhausted but happy

It is quite a sad day when a Comedienne of this magnitude passes. But surely the last thing Ms. Rivers would have wanted is for us to wollow.... far from it...taken from her book 'I hate everyone...starting with me'  -  here is her funeral request as proof! 'When I die (and yes, Melissa, that day will come; and yes, Melissa, everything’s in your name), I want my funeral to be a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action. . . .I want craft services, I want paparazzi and I want publicists making a scene! I want it to be Hollywood all the way. I don’t want some rabbi rambling on; I want Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents. I don’t want a eulogy; I want Bobby Vinton to pick up my head and sing “Mr. Lonely.” I want to look gorgeous, better dead than I do alive. I want to be buried in a Valentino gown and I want Harry Winston to make me a toe tag. And I want a wind machine so that even in the casket my hair is blowing just like Beyoncé’s.' So let

Recovered from the World Cup Shocks?  From the hangover, or that holiday blues? At Hair Colour Clinic we are kind of getting over the 3 of them, we had a good break, came back from holiday with the slight worry we could be held for questioning due to the ridiculously tanned colour of our skin... but then again we could have simply been from Essex too... Before I start getting into a summer is over doom and gloom kind of tone, I do know we are still in the swing of things - and we do like to keep summer alive for as long as we can... who doesn't right? - excluding Goths of course... So if you are on holiday at the moment, what are you reading  this blog for? but do save the url, and while dealing with your holiday blues read it for post-sun hair TLC..... or just go ahead and continue reading...your call! Many clients through the years have asked how to take good care of their hair over the hot summer months. we tend to give a logical approach, when you go to the beach an

Like the whole Globe, we have Mega World-Cup Fever! The World Cup which started in 1930 is getting close to it's 85th Birthday, but while the game is called the Beautiful one, one rarely puts beautiful + hair + football in one sentence. We have all idolised/lusted over a footballer at some point or the other.....but let's face it, footballers either get it right with their looks - or AMAZINGLY WRONG - and when it is wrong we are talking some serious fouls here! So while we get ready to be stuck to our screens in the next few weeks, we decided to compile a list of our favourite footie follicles.... The Best Hair/ Cutest / Hottest footballers of this Copa Do Mundo 2014. Let's call it our very own dream team of 11 ;) starting with someone probably not that much on your radar... #1 Algeria's Liassine Cadamunro was born in Toulouse and joined Sochaux's youth academy at 15. Three years later he signed for Real Sociedad,. In September 2011,

For all us Londoners, if summer is quite here yet or not is highly debatable.... but one can keep hoping of course.... that is until you see something that says: 'The UK is bracing itself for thunderstorms! -but with highs of 25 degrees....not sure that is quite any consolation...... but as always I digress.. Whether we get a fabulously hot summer or not... fear not because your hair follicles should be looking Red Hot!... and I really mean that. Blondes have been dominating our summer months for years on end now (yawn)... but this season the real Hot trend is HOT by nature - it is RED! Now we are not talking about Pillar Box Red here.... (give it a rest Queen of Hearts!) but flame haired ginger tones. As a Hair Stylist, Copper Tones were always a bit of a personal favourite for me, so when I moved to the UK a decade ago and had one of my first clients, I did my usual...looked at her complexion,eye colour, bone structure etc etc... and told her: 'You would loo
