Hair Colour Studio

In this day and age a Hair Colour Virgin is just about as rare as a four-leaved clover! Girls (and boys) tend to have a bit of a dabble with hair colour at a pretty early age,... I can still remember my very much of an epic fail with my first D-I-Y colour when I was around 14 years of age!....little did I know then that I would eventually turn that into a career. However, some people really are reluctant with colour, and try to hang on to those natural tones for as long as they can - that is till those evil evil grey hairs start appearing! One of these rare creatures is Debbie. - Debbie is already blessed with gorgeous hair, and for many years we have been cutting styling etc,..but not a drop of colour. She was so petrified of losing her natural hair colour, that plucking at those annoying grey hairs was a more attractive option. After much nagging from yours truly, Debbie gave in - on one condition! the new colour would not change her that much, and be as close to her hair ...

Unless you were in a coma the last few weeks, you will know that the hottest topic out there when it came to hair was Beyonce 'cutting' her hair Short. Please do note the inverted comas on the word cutting, because essentially it was taking out her extensions and probably giving shape to the already, somewhat short hair. So before everyone starts to applaud the woman for the bravery think that it would be dead easy for her to get it all back tomorrow.. she settled for a long bob in the meantime.... This does not mean that she was not brave though, and even though 'Sasha Fierce' (that is her alter ego for anyone still in that coma) is looking more 'Bambi Cool'  -  changing an image to that extent  for any superstar is still a gamble - unless your name is Madonna of course! Madonna still remains the queen of re-invention - let's not forget with 30 years under her belt and a ridiculous amounts of looks that most importantly always worked (take note Ga...

we are already in August....can you even believe it?? Even though here in London it seems the weather has gone all Spring-Autumn Hybrid, we are still positively hot...while everyone else on this hemisphere is sweltering of course... As we seem to have started a bit of a series of heat-beating hair (see previous posts), we thought to throw in another one that can quite easily take you into Autumn or winter, because apart from being a beat-buster it can also be seriously chic, say hello to the Mock-Bob. The name says it all... it is a faux bob... it's achieving the look of a bob when you do not want to cut your hair - which becomes also a good and welcome alternative to the more severe up-do for those summer night elegant/red carpet events. Taylor Swift really has got the knack of this! Also known as a 'loop' the secret of a mock-bob is to pin your locks at the length you want your hair to be. Here's one from our team..... If you have ...

Anyone out there with a slight eye for fashion would by now have realized that all that aztec and peruvian stuff has gone a little bit further up on the global map..... and has moved to Mexico. Yes, everything Mexican is taking the place of our south american designs...from pretty embroidered dresses for the girls, to funky Mexican skulls inspired by dias de los muertos (day of the dead) for the boys.....and the girls too really! The Jewellery too is taking in the fiesta vibe - it's gonna be chunky funky - and most absolutely BRIGHT!! But with all this trend... how are we going to emulate that sexy senorita look without going horribly Ugly Betty? Of course the style can be paired up with boho waves. However if you really want to go for the whole Mexico vibe, why not look at probably the most iconic of Mexican women of all time - Frida Kahlo. The Mexican artist was born on July 6th 1907 in Coyocan, a suburb in Mexico City. She is considered to b...

It is the Hair-Trend everyone is talking about! Curls are out !!!- giving way to slick super straight hair..... and when we say straight we mean STRAIGHT.... no kink, no mess...just poker-straight silky shiny hair!! Time to dig out those straighteners, ladies: bin those 2-inch barrel curlers cause it is time to flatten, flatten, flatten.... big is beautiful, but when it comes to hair we're going size zero. The designers have all gone straight-mad - from Emilio Pucci to Derek Lam to Mario Schwab  but it was not just all high fashion, the affordable ranges were at it too Topshop , Lacoste you name it ........Straight hair was in There are various ways you can wear this trend , from that very strong centre parting which works wonders with a very symmetrical face.... for us not blessed with those perfect proportions a side parting will always work best. If you are after getting extra fashionista points get a bit creative... twist the sides and secure them at t...

With temperatures still on the rise (and no we are NOT complaining about it) we are continuing with the heat-busting hair-dos blogs. And when it comes to beating the heat and getting that avant-garde nod it doesn't get much cooler than the wet-look summer trend. We've seen it all over the place at most fashion weeks like at Chanel, Alexander Wang and Mugler here... You will need some pretty strong wet - gel, or a glaze type of product. Always work the style on damp hair. If you want that half -wet half-dry look , you will need to dry the hair first, then with a spray-gun wet the front again, before applying products. You will of course need to make sure that does stay in place, so a super firm hold hair spray is also essential. Your next important accessory is of course gonna be make-up.....there is no hiding behind your hair with this style, so your make-up is of great importance. You can however go 2 very different directions,..keep it fresh and dewy for a natural a...

The Knot is pretty much the coolest easy but striking Hair-Styles for those Hot Summer Nights, when hair just gets in the way and your neck and shoulders have simply had enough . Keep it unruly, and un-tidy during the day for a casual look. At Night keep it slick and tamed - pair it with Killer Heels for maximum effect! Also don;t forget that exposed neck - adorn it with something amazing - like at Givenchy above x
