Hair Colour Studio

It's a tough one at the moment, how are you holding up?.... and how are your tresses doing? It may sound like a bit of a cliche - but yes things are gonna get much better - hopefully very soon. At Hair Colour Studio we are determined to stay focused, so with that in mind we were not gonna let the hair trends pass us by like that just because we are currently socially limited! So as is customary (though perhaps about a month later than usual) we have put together the best Hair Colour Trends you should be getting excited about for the new year! Warm Tones This is a trend that is truly born out of a pandemic!  As this year our visits to the salon have been limited our colours were not at their tip-top freshest all the time, so some colours faded, some did not get re-freshed as often as we would have liked. All this gives way to our natural red tones to come through (the darker the hair the more red tones one will have) of course we didn't have much more choice than embracing them ...

So we have been mentioning contouring in our last few blogs - and yes, we have been going a bit contouring crazy at the Hair Colour Clinic, but with a trend that works for every face shape it is difficult to let it all slip by - especially when a technique so simple can make such a difference! So this month we decided to give you a proper in depth explanation of the hottest trend at the moment! So what is Hair Contoruing? Well just like the contouring trend with make-up the same basis is used for hair colour. It is in fact a combination of free hand or highlighting techniques using carefully positioned tones and depths around the face to give different results and optical illusions to compliment the bone structure and facial features, making your face appear more defined. The 100%  bespoke hair technique means it will suit every face shape making it a sure winner for the festive season. So how does it work for each face shape? Well if you have an oval face shape you ...

An ex flat-mate of mine once told me, what she found impressive in me is that I always managed to put myself in another person's shoes. Some may call it being somewhat empathic, others just being a bit devil's advocate... But what I really would like to be is telepathic! That would be such an amazing quality to have as a hair stylist, because getting what a client is after is not always as plain sailing as you would like it to be. Which made me think - maybe my flat-mate Eliza was onto something there! I may be empathic - but the telepathic bit is missing, and perhaps it is because I have not put myself into the client's shoes often enough. So what could be going wrong in the communication? You have all been in a salon when suddenly stylists go all Bingo on you... letters are replaced by numbers yet somehow they understand each other (but you are still hearing numbers), and while it has been decided that you are going to become a 7/73 you are still none the wis...

Autumn... It is that moment when the layers need to be doubled and looking at a skimpy dress or a tank top gives you the shivers! - when you wear way too little for the day, but turns to way too much when you are on the Tube! - it is that time of year when your wardrobe becomes an enigma - it's the beginning of Autumn! But on the upside it is a great time to experiment with those Earthy Autumn shades that do not look quite right at other times of the year..... and Hair is no exception, though this year these lovely shades sound like they came straight out of the Great British Bake-Off   rather than your favourite colour technician, and they are very yummy indeed...  Here are our favourites!...... Pumpkin Spice! With Halloween round the corner there could not be a more perfectly timed colour.  Our favourite seasonal Latte has just turned into Hot Hair Trend. It is not quite looking like a pumpkin, but having a golden brown or auburn base tone with ad...
