“Did you know the sun fades hair colour just like it fades outdoor furniture? ☀️” Brooke Frodsham

We never forget SPF for our skin… but your hair needs protecting too!

Swipe to see the transformation ➡️

After a couple of months working abroad, my client’s beautiful colour had faded from the sun, heat, swimming and everyday washing.

Today’s goal wasn’t to change her colour… it was to bring it back to life. ✨

We refreshed her hair with a rich, glossy burgundy that’s full of depth and shine again.

A little reminder…
☀️ UV rays fade hair colour (especially reds!)
💦 Chlorine and salt water strip colour.
🔥 Heat styling without protection speeds up fading.

We never forget SPF for our skin… but your hair needs protecting too!

Using a heat protector, UV hair products and rinsing your hair after swimming can help keep your colour looking fresh for much longer.

Would you believe this is the same hair?

Proof that going slightly darker doesn’t mean losing your blonde. 🤍

This refresh was all about creating a softer, more natural-looking blonde.

We added more depth throughout while keeping all the brightness she loves, creating a blended, dimensional finish.

The result? A blonde that still feels bright, with more dimension, shine and an easier, lower-maintenance grow-out.

Finished with a fresh blunt cut for healthier-looking, fuller ends.

🧴 As always, I added Olaplex No.1 to the lightener to help protect the hair throughout the lifting process.

Thanks you Jay Cooper always a pleasure 😘

Fine, flat hair that never seems to hold its shape?

Swipe For Before 📷

Most people think fine hair needs more layers or more length to create volume.

In reality, too much weight around the sides and ends can make fine hair look flatter, stringier, and harder to style.

By removing excess weight and creating a stronger shape, hair can instantly appear fuller, thicker, and more effortless —without extensions or excessive layering.

A good haircut shouldn’t need a lot of styling to look good. This transformation proves that shape is everything. ✨

“Blonde Girls” Want to feel brighter for Summer? - Trust the process ☀️ Kat Armstrong

My client’s goal was simple: feel brighter for summer while keeping her blonde soft, blended, and easy to maintain.

Using custom foil placement, a seamless root blend, and Olaplex No.1 for added bond protection during the lightening process, we achieved a brighter, healthier-looking blonde with a soft grow-out.
