GENTLEMENAre You Ready
TO ADD SOME COLOUR INTO YOUR LIFE?
Only a small percentage of men venture into the world of hair colour, but there are numerous, subtle ways colour can be used to add definition, blend away grey hairs or even add texture and depth. Colour for men has come a long way since the David Beckham highlights and frosted tips of the 1990s!

CREATIVEColour
Not colour shy? More men are choosing to embrace a high-end creative style and colour, such as a Scalp Bleach. Dyeing your hair blonde is the ultimate standalone, bold, statement look; but it also creates a blank canvas which allows you to embrace various creative tones on your hair and change your colour regularly.

THE RETURNof the Perm
Yes, we’re serious. The perm is back, but updated and refreshed from the Kevin Keegan style, which, thankfully, we’ve left in the 1980s. The new-wave perm, as it has been dubbed – is a much gentler look, which adds texture to the hair, leaving it looking thicker and fuller. In 2019, we are talking about more of a Jon Snow vibe, rather than the tight, Brian May curls of the past.
We have seen more and more men requesting this look in our salons; so, if you would like to majorly update your style, but you don’t want to add colour to your hair, the perm may be the ideal solution. This technique uses chemicals to change the bonds of your hair and ‘permanently’ curl them until your tresses have grown out in their natural texture.
