Going in to have your hair cut and coloured by a Stylist requires a lot of trust on the part of the client.

A hair cut lives with you for at least a month, and a colour for several more, so who can blame a first time client-no matter how much experience The stylist has packed in-that's apprehensive 

The longer cuts see less emotionally charged clients because they aren't as radically different from what the client may have come in with, so the clients are a little more at ease in the Chair

It's the Shorter, more edgy cuts that require a total faith in one's Stylists ability and skill, and Ms Imon Deb, from the first day that she sat in my chair and had her long locks shaped into a make over short style, has always shown me how completely assured she is that the final outcome will be one that she will be able to carry off with elan! 

This time the vote of confidence went one step further- She had her hair balayaged too!

The outcome all unanimously agreed was fabulous.

Hair Colouring techniques

During the lockdown many clients were forced to use colours that the hair would be better off without. Often these colours leave a stubborn residue that is darker than the desired shade and is difficult to remove when one wants to lift the hair colour to a shade more flattering to the client skin tone. 

The desired shade can be achieved under the skilled hands of a professional but it is time consuming process. The hair has to be colour washed section by section in a very thorough, meticulous manner to avoid a patchy Finish. Post that procedure a Favourable colour is then deposited through the roots, mid-lengths and end. The client then leaves the Salon looking vitally and compellingly more attractive.
