Following the frenzy of the Christmas party season, January and the new year welcome a time of reflection within the salon industry. The beginning of a new year invites the opportunity to re-evaluate where you are currently and the goals you want to achieve for the year ahead.

Typically, the months of January and February hit hair and beauty salons hard as clients begin to tighten their belts after the frantic festive period and the winter party season.

From high-contrast shades of blonde and cool combinations of tonal browns to dreamy romantic pastels and optimistic, bright pops, the season’s big trend is COLOUR BLOCKING.

The Swedish brand FOREO was launched in 2013 with the intention of blending technology and practicality to create a refreshing approach to skincare. 

There are so many reasons why thorough patch testing is essential in every salon if your client is undergoing a hair colour service or lash and brow tinting. The risks involved with not giving one can be serious; allergic reactions can be catastrophic for your clients, while financially, they can leave you with heavy legal bills, fines and settlements.

When working with clients whose locks love to twist and twirl, finding the perfect products for curly hair can be a challenge as there is just so much choice out there. Well, fret not because we’ve done the legwork (or should we say curlwork?) for you.
