In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Tara

March 24, 2023

I love long hair. But sometimes you can have too much of a good thing, and if it’s not cut properly it can drown the wearer and make shampoo-days a dreaded event. Tara had gorgeous hair but the haircut had no shape. Just the usual...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Kazz

March 20, 2023

I don’t normally start by showing the back. But the breakage and damage was so bad that the entire top portion at the back had snapped off. Kazz had been paying a lot for hair colouring and for regular Olaplex treatments over the years. Yet her extremely damaged hair quality was something I regularly see. Unnecessarily weak thin broken hair, and dull colour.

In the Chair - Real Hair Real People - Emily

March 20, 2023

How many Bobs have you got?

These quick clunky haircuts are becoming prolific as hairdressers become less and less able to layer hair properly. Emily had the very common 3-step Bob. The baseline, a step four inches off the bottom, and a sort of torn irregular piece suggestive of a long

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Francesca

March 11, 2023

I love long hair. But sometimes it’s better to cut it back and start again fresh. Especially when the ends have suffered serious over-processing of colour on multiple occasions. And it’s great to have a change too.

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Marlenka

March 03, 2023

Flat oily hair? It could be your haircut. Marlenka always struggled to get any life in her hair. She said it always felt and looked oily. I explained just how the haircut wasn’t helping.

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Julie

February 18, 2023

Coupe Sauvage was the brief. That French term from the 1970s encapsulating all lengths of very layered, textured, vibrant styles that hinted at the sexuality of wild, rampant and raw. And growing out tint isn't always successful, most people return to having colour, but Julie's was a rare case where the...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Saffy

February 08, 2023

People with curly hair suffer more with frizz. It’s the nature of the texture, but what many people don’t realise is how frizziness can be exaggerated by the haircut and the drying process. Shelf-like step layers make frizz much worse as...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Poppy Towers

February 04, 2023

I first met Poppy in the salon this month for a makeover. Yet when Poppy turned up, I liked her hair as it was. But then Poppy explained, and I understood. She’d washed her hair and applied our...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Jack 2023

January 28, 2023

Would you let your twin brother cut your hair? How do you persuade a child to have their haircut? “What if James has a go at cutting your hair and we’ll film it and make you a Tik-Tok star!”...

In the Chair - Real Hair Real People - Linnea

October 28, 2022

A model’s life is tough on hair. Our industry issue being that some hairdressers only care about today – once you’re home it’s your problem. That’s bad enough in salons with stylists and colourists only concerned with impressing you now. A lack of forethought means...

In the Chair - Real People Real Hair - Polly

December 23, 2021

Polly’s hair looked quite fine at first sight. But as soon as I ran my hands through, could feel that it was so much thicker than it appeared. An unbalanced previous haircut hadn’t improved through lockdown, leaving...

You Cannot be Serious!

December 22, 2021

The Daily Mail approached us to feature our ‘In the Chair’ makeovers. Their working title was – ‘Can a Haircut Really Make a Difference to your Hair?’

Duh! They may as well have said - Can clothes make a difference to how you look?
