EMMY AWARDS HAIR LOOKS 2021

We all love an awards night or an evening to dress up and feel special. This is the time of year to start to think about your glam hair look. The Emmy awards had some fantastic looks on the red carpet from big glamorous curls to sleek shiny pony tails. For me less is more, the blunt bob is always a stunning look that can be styled in so many variations. To style in a deep wave with gloss fi nish is always a winner.

This is a must have look if you have any up and coming glam evenings planned and can be tailored to any length.

COLOUR TRENDS

Balayage is not going anywhere! It’s still very much the go-to low maintenance hair colour of the moment. French balayage has now added to that extra look. It’s all about taking balayage back to its Parisian roots to create effortless natural sophistication. Even though it might look effortless, it’s not always an easy colour to achieve. Your colourist needs to tailor it to your skin tone, hair type and eye colour as every good colour should be.It’s all about colour placement so requires an artistic eye .This is 100% our top colour service in the salon.
