Mythic Oil & Gelitz.

We have just got a brand new product into the Salon which is called Mythic Oil. It's enriched with a special blend of avocado and grape seed oil, this lightweight oil cares and pampers all hair types. Nourishing even the finest hair, the formula leaves hair looking shiny, feeling nourished and supple.

This is one review: RATING: 10/10 - this product may not seem affordable at first but for the amount you use it is definitely worth it. It lives up to all claims made, the proof is noticeable before and after use! 
This product has quickly become something I couldn't live without, it smooths my hair and banishes frizz better than any other product I've ever used. My mum loves it so much she's asked me to get it for her birthday!

Also we are looking into getting Gelitz into the Salon -

Gelitz is the result of long and extensive research, it represents state of the art innovation in nail colour technology. 
It's completely solvent free, it does not contain tolulene, formaldehyde, phthalates or any VOCs (volatile organic compounds) like ethyl acetate or butyl acetate.
It is not a Gel/Polish it's 100% gel in a bottle and applied like nail polish, it wears and lasts as a gel should, its much kinder to the natural nail and the environment.

Goldwell Academy Course.

Emma Hellier, Matt Hellier & Leesha Sheeran went on a course at the Goldwell Academy which was called The Fantastic Hairdresser.
Hairdressing business guru Alan Austin-Smith, founder of the Fantastic Hairdresser Company and owner of the new Business Academy in Chiswick, explains what it takes to be a great boss.
This guy is FANTASTIC, he really makes you look more into detail about long term & not short term. he helped us understand a bit more about Leadership development and Team development.
What makes people fantastic at their job - has nothing to do with their job - it has something to do with all the other stuff - communication, confidence, self motivation, customer delight etc... that's what makes a difference. That's a quote from the master Alan Austin-Smith himself!

Shiatsu Massage & Libby's First Short Cut.

So yesterday Emma and Libby went to The Goldwell Academy and learnt how to do Shiatsu Massage. They learnt there are pressure points in the head and shoulders that can get other points in your body to help you relax. Also there are 140 pressure points in your body. They really enjoyed the whole experience. Libby has put her skill into progress today and one of the clients wrote us a lovely comment from a client saying how relaxing it was:
"Salina Noakes - i had this today and Libby did really well. Would recommend getting it done if you want to relax. i had a stinking headache and it's calmed down a bit after that! thank you x"

Libby has also experienced her first short/bob cut today and the client loved it. Libby learnt about her angles and the graduation of a bob. Take a look at the end result!

We've all had a very good day in the Salon and we hope you've had a good day too!
