The last month has been full of fashion week. Backstage, presentations and editorial shoots all help us stay ahead of trends. Each season, my art team and I work at a selection of shows across London, Paris and Milan fashion week. This year we have assisted at Burberry, Dior, Loewe, Valentino and Mia Miu, to name a few. We love to be at the forefront of fashion, involved in creating briefs and translating these into trends that work in the salons. One key look that caught my eye is the low side parting. This works best when the hair is sleek as seen as Erdem in London and Tommy Hilfiger in New York. You’ll need a good hair oil, such as the Oribe Gold Lust Nourishing oil and a pin comb to get the parting perfectly straight.
Hot List:
- HEALTHY HAIR
At London Fashion Week models, press and celebrities had one thing in common. Sleek, healthy hair. There are many variations – but the key words are neat, glossy and simple.
- BLOW-DRY SKILLS
Volume, sleek or movement, perfecting your blow-dry is a skill worth developing. Having the right tools is crucial and the BaByliss Italia hairdryer is a must. We’re giving away one this month through our Instagram, along with a salon blow-dry and treatment so make sure you’re following us for details on how to enter. @hareandbone
- REPEATING THE SAME STYLE ALWAYS
Not for us. Even though you love the style, during each appointment we will keep your hair fresh by the subtlest of changes.
- FRIZZ
No thanks. The change in weather can cause frizz, especially if you didn’t protect from the sun during summer. Applying Oribe’s Straight Away Smoothing Blowout cream protects against heat and humidity for super sleek strands that still have body and movement. Blow dries become quicker and more manageable.
- ROOTS
Some colour techniques may create the illusion of roots, but grown-out colour is a no go. Book that appointment now.
HARE & BONE was built on celebrating individuality. Honouring our values of honesty, integrity and inclusivity we have made the decision to move our services to a gender neutral menu.
Discussion groups with clients and team members have taken place over the summer months to shape a gender neutral menu that work for all.
From October, our price menu will be built around time and experience, not gender. By doing so we can continue to create an environment that is inclusive and celebrates equality.
The celebrations also continue in our Esher salon, as we approach our 4th birthday. It’s been a magical four years and it wouldn’t have been as much fun without our wonderful clients and community. To mark the occasion, we are offering a blow dry and indulgent Dual Sense Treatment, including a complimenting glass of Prosecco for £39. This celebration will be
available from 11th – 15th October with selected stylists.
Q&A
- I’ve spent the last year growing out my fringe but I miss it. Should I get it cut back in or hang onto the length a little longer?
This is one of the most common questions we are asked in the salon. To fringe or not to fringe. Without knowing your face shape it is hard to comment on what would suit you best, but considering you’ve just grown one out I’m assuming your stylist will have cut the most flattering option. Rather than committing to a full fringe, why not try the 90’s bangs for the winter season. This is two pieces of jaw-length hair that frame the face beautifully, but can also be tucked behind the ear or included in a topknot if you prefer to remove the fringe completely. They offer the perfect middle-ground without the commitment of a full fringe.
- I’m currently going through the peri-menopause and noticed an impact with my skin. Should I be concerned about my hair and if so, what can I do to prevent changes?
Hormonal changes will always produce a level of impact on your hair. For some, it will be minimal but for others going through the peri menopause or menopause the change could be big. Estrogen and progesterone keep the hair in the growing phase, making it grow faster. However, when these levels decline, hair growth slows and hair loss can occur. Hair might become dull, dry and thinner but there are products that can help. Using a scalp product will help regrowth and strengthen the hair, while Oribe’s Maximista Thickening Spray will help hair expand to your absolute fullest whilst enduring lift and hold. If texture is causing concern then a keratin blow-dry will transform hair, leaving it manageable and smooth. The professional service is long-lasting and if the recommended home haircare products are used it can last up to 5 months. Your stylist will know your hair, and the best way to care for it. Speak to them about your concerns and they will prescribe the best products for you.
