My husband is obsessed with nature documentaries. Me, I’m more of a fiction fan but apparently it’s not socially acceptable to hog the TV remote all the time so I have been forced to watch innumerable David Attenborough documentaries over the years. I’ve nothing against him, but watching animals grooming each other and eating the […]
Read MoreClose your eyes for a moment and picture this- a perfect prism appears in the atmosphere. A single ray of light hits it, splitting it into a stunning array of colours. Yellow, orange, red,green, violet and blue, spilling through the sky in an arc of pure magnificence. A very fancy way to say ‘rainbow’, which […]
Read MoreAt this moment in time, it seems that all we are talking about is COVID-19. It has been a terribly challenging and overwhelming time for so many people, and it has been no different in salons. With so many views on what the “right” way to act in a salon is, it has understandably […]
Read MoreFashion. Otherwise known as the comedy for future generations. Or the envy, depending on the era. I can look back at any era and find a look I love and then a look I equally loathe. Hindsight has a lovely rose coloured filter and we tend to forget some of the more horrific fashion “fails” […]
Read MoreI adore curly hair. Adore it. The sense of wild abandon that accompanies those spirals doing whatever they please atop a head appeals to the secret anarchist lurking deep in my soul.

Read MoreLuxury. Just the word conjures up visions of beautiful, precious and delightfully unnecessary things. To me, luxury is all about fabrics; velvet, silk, chiffon, satin. Soft, sinuous fabrics that move like water over smooth rocks and feel like the skin we would have in a romance novel. Indulgent fabrics, completely impractical for day to day […]
Read MoreAs we begin the rapid descent to the end of the year, I find myself reflecting on the year that was and wonder…how on earth did I fit all that stuff in? I don’t know about you but I’m pretty good at overstuffing my calendar, much like those cooking show contestants trying to impress the […]
Read MoreI love my fringe. Without it, I feel somewhat like Count Dracula with the receding hairline and extreme widow’s peak, and I have to say, thats not really the vibe I’m going for! Like most girls born in the 80’s, my mother gave me a fringe as a child. Around the time I was 8 […]
Read MoreI have always been obsessed with red hair, lamenting my very dull dishwater blonde/brown hair. As a young woman I looked to my screen idols for inspiration. The beautiful Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Poison Ivy and my personal favourite femme fatale, Jessica Rabbit. Some may be cartoon characters but those flowing locks of vibrant […]
