Lydia Tewkesbury makes a long-awaited trip to BA1
W
henever I get my hair done it rains. This has been the rule for as long as I can remember, so I wasn’t surprised when Storm Brendan arrived on the day I was due to have my hair cut and styled by head stylist Leah at BA1 Hair on Bartlett Street. Even though BA1 is the chosen salon of many of my friends, I had yet to visit, so when the opportunity came up to go in for a chop I leapt at the chance. I am in general not the biggest hair and beauty fiend. I don’t get my hair done regularly enough, I’ve only had a facial once (for
work purposes) and I’ve never set foot inside a nail salon. That said, despite my beauty treatment reservations, I really enjoy having my hair washed. And, I have to say, the washing at BA1 is on another level. Leah took one look at my winter ravaged hair and decreed it was in serious need of some extra TLC, so after a lovely shampoo, condition and head massage, an Aveda Botanical moisturising treatment was carefully worked into my hair and then left for ten minutes or so. Before I had the chance to think damn I wish I had my phone to pass the time I was treated to a hand massage – a first for me. I recommend it. Whether you’re the lie back and relax type (the lady next to me) or the person that talks incessantly throughout (me), it really is lovely.
