We’ve been a little quiet on here lately, and that’s because we’ve had the busiest year ever! With so many guests walking through our doors, award ceremonies to attend, festivals, and the exhausting but incredibly rewarding task of relocating our Chester salon to its dream space—it’s been A LOT 😅 But it looks amazing, right? Running a business in the current economic climate has been challenging, to say the least. Resources are stretched, and it’s tough out there for small businesses like ours. But despite everything, we’re proud to say we’re not just surviving—we’re growing. That’s all thanks to your incredible loyalty and support ❤️ Winning and being finalists in multiple sustainable salon awards this year has been such a huge honour. It’s great to see our commitment to sustainability getting the recognition it deserves. On a personal note, it’s been a whirlwind summer for us as well. Katie and Lisa have both taken the big step of purchasing their first properties—congratulations to them! 🔑🎉 As for me, I’m still knee-deep in renovations at home, and with young kids around, it’s not moving as quickly as I’d like. However I’m really looking forward to soaking up some sun with them now that summer is here. As you enjoy the late summer sun, don’t forget to protect your hair! The sun, saltwater, and chlorine can really take a toll, but Aveda’s Sun Care Protective Hair Veil is a lifesaver. @avedauk @aveda It’s a lightweight mist that forms an invisible screen to help protect your hair from UV damage. And for those days when your hair feels a little dry from too much sun, the Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair is perfect for restoring moisture and keeping your hair looking and feeling healthy. Thank you for sticking with us through this crazy year—we couldn’t do it without you! Here’s to an amazing rest of the summer. Love Susannah xx #sustainablesalon

How to Keep Your Aveda Colour Vibrant ✨🌿 Does your colour fade faster than you’d like? While some fading is natural, there are ways to keep your Aveda colour looking fresh and vibrant for longer. Here’s how: 💧 Use Aveda Colour Safe Products Aveda’s shampoos and conditioners are designed to protect and extend the life of your colour. Products like Colour Conserve™ or Blue Malva are perfect for maintaining your hue while nourishing your hair with naturally derived ingredients. 🚿 Wash Less Often Try to wash your hair just 2-3 times a week, depending on your hair type. After your colour appointment, we recommend waiting at least 48 hours before washing to allow the pigments to fully settle. 🌡️ Rinse with Cool Water Switch to lukewarm or cool water when rinsing. Hot water can strip colour and moisture, while cooler water helps lock in your shade and maintain shine. 🔥 Limit Heat Styling Frequent use of hot tools can speed up colour fading. If you do use them, protect your hair with Aveda’s Heat Relief™ Thermal Protector to shield your strands while keeping your colour vibrant. 🎨 Schedule Regular Touch-Ups To maintain consistent colour, keep up with root touch-ups and toning sessions as recommended by your stylist. Aveda’s full spectrum™ colour ensures your hair looks natural, healthy, and radiant after every visit. Protect Your Investment ✨ Your Aveda colour is an investment in yourself, and with these tips, you’ll enjoy vibrant, glossy hair for longer! A little extra care goes a long way.

In light of #RecyclingWeek taking place next week, we hear from the @greensaloncollective and two of their @greenlibertines , @buttons_han and @mel_enroutehair !💚 Hannah, General Manager & Sustainability Leader, @butcherssalon , delves into the 3 R’s, reduce, reuse, recycle but also offers advice on the other R’s that you might not have thought about! These include♻️: “Refurbishment: If you need new electrical equipment, look to buy refurbished; they are usually as good as new but without the price tag! Repurposing: Using waste salon materials to clean, for example, old towels as cleaning cloths, and finally, Reselling: If you have old salon furniture, they can be sold or donated.” Mel, Owner of @enroutehair also offers her top tips for recycling, which include…👏🏼 🗑️To make recycling easier by having adequate waste bins in your home and salon. ✨Make recycling a strong habit; that way, you’ll never forget to do it. 🚿When recycling plastics, it’s really important to wash everything before it goes in the bin. 🪑Upcycling items is a great way to recycle too.
