A little cocktail never killed nobody. Lately I’ve been OBSESSED with all things sweet n fruity! No matter how crazy our lives get, unwinding will also be essential; which means there’s always time for a cheeky cocktail or a G&T! My favorite part?

It’s a hobby and a pleasure! As a creative at heart, I’m all for experimenting (and yes that means all the latest TikTok concoctions too. My go-to would have to be Mojito ;-

Stop counting the days and make your days count. Whether you’re counting down the days to get to the next phase in your life or waiting for life as we know it to get back to ‘normal’, don’t let that stop you from taking time for yourself and others. So let this serve as a lil reminder to never forget the value of a moment before it becomes a memory. What special moments will you be savouring from this year? Let us know below.

Well that went quick! With the year truly in full swing now, I hope you’re all taking the time to reflect on your resolutions and goals (or get started - it’s never too late!). Regardless of where you’re trying to get to, take the time to pause and check on your mental health - your headspace is the home you never leave. 2020 and the start to 2021 certainly have took their toll on me and our team, but I’m so grateful for the habits it has taught me! Things I like to practice include:

Talking about my feelings

Journaling - especially gratitude!

Staying active

Making time for the things I love, like walking the dog and time in the garden

Eating well...but also treating myself shamelessly

Sneaking some sunlight when possible

Prioritizing sleep and rest

Meditation and mindfulness

Do I get it right all the time? Of course not, but we’re all in this journey together - so remember baby steps and celebrate your little wins. Do you have tips to share with our community, or a friend who deserves a shoutout for kicking goals and slaying the game? Let us know in the comments below xx

HAPPY LOVE YOUR PET DAY! A day to celebrate our favorite floofs, workout partners, cuddle buddies, bed warmers and best friends. The ones who have been by our sides through it all so far and all that is yet to come! Nothing quite beats the feeling of coming home after a crazy day to a face of unwavering excitement and love. As challenging as 2020 was, it’s safe to say our companions weren’t too upset about all the Lockdowns, and probably helped save our sanity at times. Seriously, my furbaby deserves a medal. So embrace today with a shameless spam and be sure to share your favorite memories with us on our social pages.

Want to know the not-so-secret secrets of the worlds best tressed? As a hairdresser I would MUCH rather empower my clients with the knowledge to keep your hair in tip-to-shape (plus it make my job much easier for your next appointment time)

For example did you know?

If you wash your hair with warm water and rinse the conditioner off with a blast of cold water at the end for a smooth finish and to reduce Frizz.

Stick to shampoo on your scalp and conditioner on your ends.

Try using an old cotton t-shirt for your dry off, its gentler than a cotton towel.

Don't use heat styling tools until your hair is completely dry (and air dry when you can).

Invest in a silk pillowcase.

If you have any burning questions drop us an email and will do our best to reply with the right advice.

We will be back to serve as soon as we are allowed to. See you in 2021.

Happy New Year to all our beautiful clients. Sending lots of love from our team to your family. We can’t thank you enough for sticking with us through 2020!

Have a fantastic New Year and we’ll see you in 2021! X

Bring in the New Year with a color change! If you can’t change your surroundings, change your hair colour!. After the year that’s been why don’t you try a new hair style?. What’s everyone’s hair plans for 2021?
