Yep it’s upside down but I love this colour from every angle 👱‍♀️
Creating beige blondes is my thing! The softness and reflecting shimmering tones make it look more expensive rather than that overprocessed blonde that looks frizzy and impossible to shine!

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a busi

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

People expect you to be available 24/7 and at the drop of a hat because “you work for yourself so you can make time” unfortunately this is not the case most of the time.

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend... it’s one of the hardest things you will try and balance

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

Thanks for being the best client base a small business could wish for and Have a good day! ♥️

If you're bored with your hair colour, but don't want to make any drastic colour changes, you can add dimension to your base colour for a subtle difference. Adding dimension essentially means accentuating your base hair colour with lowlights and baby lights for a naturally bright look.

It's not quite blonde, and, it's not exactly brunette; it's somewhere (really pretty) in between. Move over high-maintenance hair colours, the 'it-girl' shade is all about bronde right now.

There is something just so impossibly chic about the combination of a vivid copper colour and big curls. This look on Rebecca has so much natural volume and bounce, resulting in some major hair envy.

This colour is so Dreamy 😍

Sinead gets her colour done once a year so needs something that grows out natural! This type of colour is so time consuming and placement is so important!
This took 5hrs but was so worth the wait.

Obsessed with creating customised hair colour for

Obsessed with creating customised hair colour for many years now, I like to paint hair with variation and use the fundamentals of Balayage with multi-tonal colours as opposed to just ‘Bleach+Tone’. If you look closely through a natural redhead’s mane, you will quickly discover how many colours make up their dynamic total look. My approach for Redhead clients who are dyeing to be a fiery temptress is to paint varying tones of colour throughout their hair. These colours can include vivid Yellows and Golds for Copper, or Plum-Violet and Crimson for darker Aubergine clients.

Spring is here 🌸🌼🌷

With a new season comes weather changes, wardrobe updates, and of course, fresh new hair colour trends, and this spring is no different. If you’ve been thinking of testing out a darker hue, adding dimension to your natural shade via highlights, or going lighter to complement the upcoming warmer days, spring is definitely the time to do it. 🌸

Bobs are a classic haircut that will truly never go out of style. With so many ways and lengths to wear the look, there is literally a bob hairstyle out there that’s ideal for any woman.

Creative colour doesn’t have to be loud 🎨
I had so much fun creating this for my recent shoot! I wanted something that was fashionable and wearable!

Process breakdown……

I worked with fine slicing to create bold placement using 7levels and 20vol (my favorite lightener)

Once I created my canvas I then visually shaded and contoured to create a seamless blend.

I formulated dia light and dia richess shades creating vintage copper, baby blonde and mauve copper and some blush tones!

So nice to be creative again! Thanks @leemitchellphotography and @carriemarley_mua for helping me bring the image in my head to life 🥰
