Use Waves Fatales if you have medium to thick hair, it has a 24 hour hold and will keep your curls looking smooth.

Apply onto freshly washed hair and twist in sections, the easiest way to do this is to divide your hair into 8 vertical segments and apply a pea sized amount to each before twisting. Leave to dry naturally or carefully dry with a diffuser, shake you hair to to reveal bold waves and curls.

What’s more, your hair will still retain shiny, elastic waves and curls. Simply twist vertical sections of your hair with a pea sized amount of Siren Waves, use again when dry to add more shine and definition if necessary.

Apply the mousse to freshly washed, towel-dried hair by flipping your hair upside down and scrunching the product in. Then gently diffuse dry hair, keeping the hairdryer still to reveal bouncy looking curls with minimal effort.

THE HAIR GUIDE

SHARE
 

THE HAIR GUIDE

We are really excited about the launch of ‘The Hair Guide’, aiming to be much more than a price list the guide showcases all the services we offer whilst inspiring you with fresh hair ideas.

VIEW THE HAIR GUIDE HERE

We value your custom and appreciate your loyalty – especially through tough economic climates. To prove our continued loyalty to you we made the decision to put any price increases on hold over the last four years, however with continued increases from our chosen suppliers and product manufacturers we will be introducing a new pricing structure rather than an increase across all prices.

The main change will be offering short, medium and long hair pricing options – something which has been in place at our Ashbourne salon for a number of years. We really wanted our new menu to be easy to understand with transparent pricing information and so we have introduced a new colour menu with fewer pricing options.

We’ll also be launching one-on-one styling tutorials and ‘TLC Tuesday’, a new initaive where you can nominate a friend who is going through a hard time to receive complimentary hair or beauty treatments.

As of February 1st, we will have The Hair Guide in each of our six salons so you can see how this will affect the services you currently enjoy. We will continue to offer premium service as well as added value across the board on a range of product offers, gifts with purchase and our popular loyalty scheme.

Although a price increase is never timely – whatever the economic climate – we wanted to communicate our reasons for doing so, rather than implementing it out of the blue. Our promise to you is that you will continue to receive value for money, value in the services we provide and value in our dedication to client care and of course your hair.

THE MUSE COLLECTION

The Art Team have unveiled their latest collection: Muse. The collection aims to inspire and showcase the luxurious hair services we offer, from Great Length hair extensions to technically perfect colour and polished, editorially inspired styling. The combination of pearlescent blondes with honeycomb, toasted terracotta and spiced aubergine make a sumptuous colour palette which was applied using freehand techniques by our Art Team Colour Specialists. Photographed by Paul Gill at The Old Hall, the collection will feature throughout our new ‘hair guide’ which will be available in January 2016. As ever the models in the collection are all clients, friends and staff, which we think makes the photographic collections we produce each year extra special – Thank you!

CLOTHES SHOW LIVE

THE CLOTHES SHOW 2015: THE IMAGE CATWALK WITH CLOUD NINE

image2-1

We have had teams working backstage at The Clothes Show for several years, it’s a really busy event and it’s great for stylists and apprentices to assist backstage and gain valuable session skills.

The Clothes Show is held at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham each year and presents a line up of brands, celebrities and features the ultimate fashion experience including catwalks, trend presentations, shopping, hair and beauty demonstrations and talks from leading industry experts including our very own Angel Montague-Sayers who is the Cloud Nine Hair Ambassador.

Angel presented a quick tutorial once a day on how to get the perfect, salon quality, bouncy blow dry, using the Cloud Nine Wand and The O.

Angel presented a quick tutorial once a day on how to get the perfect, salon quality, bouncy blow dry, using the Cloud Nine Wand and The O.

Angel’s Top Tips:

1. Prep the hair with product before you start styling, her favourite is the TecniArt Constructor. This will give you the hair more texture and a better hold on the final effect.

2. Using heated curlers, curl the top of the head… this will create the effect of a big bouncy blow dry which you get in a salon. Then using a wand, curl the bottom sections of the hair, this will save time and convenience for you.

3. Scrunch every curl whilst it is still hot. This will set it in place and stop it from falling out.

4. When curling the front areas make sure you curl away from the face, it will be more flattering.

Cloud Nine were based on The Image Catwalk which showcases the ‘future of fashion’; graduates and final year students from top Universities and Colleges around the country present their collections on the stage which was hosted by reality TV stars Antonia O’Brien, Jamie Laing and Joey Essex.

The Graduate shows were presented every hour and were 30 minutes long and with just seconds to change into new outfits, the hair was bound to look a bit dishevelled. We sent our fantastic team to assist Angel backstage where they learnt new techniques to bring back to the salon.

Screenshot 2015-12-11 13.45.55

The looks were created with only four simple L’Oreal Professionnel products:

  1. Volume Lift Mousse by TecniArt – Top Tip, you can never have too much of this! Spray on to roots section by section and blow dry in until the product is gone. This will give the roots some lift and add volume to create the bouncy blow dry.
  2. Constructor by TecniArt- spray all over the hair to give some texture to work with. When the hair is too smooth the curl will slip out so adding some constructor will help the curl not to drop.
  3. Crepage de Chignon, Wildstylers – this mineral powder fixing spray provides great texture and a volumising effect with a matte finish.
  4. Air Fix, by TecniArt – Spray all over finished hair to keep the style from dropping out.

Not only was Angel and her team backstage styling the hair for the Image Catwalk models but she was on hand to make the presenters stage ready too. Take a look at Angel backstage styling the hair of celebrities such as Jamie Laing, Binky Felsted, Antonia O’Brien, Lauren Pope, Carol Wright and Chloe Lewis.

Small Business Saturday will take place on the 5th December and is a grass-roots campaign that encourages people to ‘shop local’ and support small businesses in their communities, both on the Saturday and beyond.

The initiative started in 2010, and has generated a lot of custom for small businesses in the USA, now it’s been established in the UK to support the small businesses which are the lifeblood of our economy. Our nation’s small businesses provide almost two thirds of private sector employment and almost half of private sector turnover.
