Aveda Deep Colour Range

Aveda Deep Colour Range

So we have been waiting a while for these great colours to enter the country, but now they are here and i've had a few months of playing with them and i'm amazed by the results.

The Aveda Deep colour range has been specifically developed for people with naturally dark hair, Dark brown to black. Often colours come out warmer than you want because of the natural undertones on dark hair, this colour is made cooler to counteract this happening. They are also formulated to make Reds Redder, and coppers more orange. Im loving the creativity this colour range offers.


 You can lighten you hair by 5 shades in just 30minutes, which is fantastic. The condition of the hair is still looked after with essential oils and the colours still has that lovely Lavender aroma.

Getting great reviews from using these colours already....

I am so pleased with my hair colour, Jade tried the new Aveda one for dark hair. It's great and my hair feels really silky even after I washed it! Also it doesn't look it to be washing out as quickly as my red would normally. Brilliant!

If your unsure on the natural depth of you hair feel free to pop in-salon for a consultation.

Aveda Culture Clash collection

Aveda Culture Clash Collection





Hello, sorry for not posting lately had a manic few weeks. I'll share all the gossip with you.

This week i have been to the Aveda Institute in Holborn attending there collection unveiling. Here's a few pictures from their latest collection Culture Clash....



This shoot was located in London this year to demonstrate the diversity in the world now-a-days with every one travelling around more.

I love all the different colours they have used this season, no wonder they won a Cool Brand Award with the blue and white "Megan" image.

The "Maddie" pastel tones are also bang on trend for spring.All of these colours can be adapted to suit all kinds of skin tones and complexions.

With all these images there is a huge tribal influence which has also been seen on the catwalks. I love the multi layering of different fabrics, textures and colours used in the styling.






Seeing these hair cuts, colours and styling techniques being re created has really inspired me and i cant wait to put my own spin on these looks in the salon.

Hello Sunshine

Hello Sunshine 

So the sun has got its hat on and put everyone in a good mood. Spring is in the air meaning only one thing...... seasonal hair change!!

When you think of spring, light soft pastel colours come to mind, golds, pinks and all the other delights.

Here's a few pictures to show the latest colours on trend...

This is still a nice bright blonde but has shimmers of golds going through it, keep to highlights of similar colours to get this effect. It has vanilla tones to keep it soft and sugary.

Both of these colours are more of a yellow gold, but still very clean. By adding a little pastel violet to your all over colours you can get a really pretty effect.



Ellie Goulding had a rose gold colour ran through her hair, its much more daring but i really like how soft this pink is in the hair. Ask your hairdresser about what options you have with toning you hair, these are semi permanent colour tones which can alter the overall look of you hair.


These two images are from the new Aveda Culture Clash collection, these are beautiful and really show how colour can be used. Gone are the days of plain boring matte all over colours, think high shine, shimmery and feminine!

At the moment i find bows really sweet in hair. Try wearing them in different ways, don't tell any one but i recently bought a navy blue velvet scrunchie with a bow on!(90's revival)

Hair Envy 23rd January 2014

Hair Envy 23nd January 2014

Personally i think there is nothing sexier than the loose undone look. I love tousled, ruffled up hair and think this deserves the Hair Envy tittle this week.
