The blog.

One of the most popular hairdressing services at our Baldwin Street hair salon in December is always our unique Colour Bar, where we offer a range of fast, affordable and expert hair colouring to clients in a rush.

So, to celebrate the start of 2019 as well as giving clients a great deal, we’ve got a hair colouring offer in Bristol, subject to availability.

The start of the year is when clients are looking for great deals and bargains, but the post-Christmas Blues can also mean that money is tight.

So, we’re able to give clients low-cost hair colouring top-up treatments and services at our central Bristol hair salon.

Our Colour Bar hair colouring services and quick fix services start from as little as £20, and can be pre-booked at a date and time to suit you.

It might be the addition of an extra few slices of colour that’s required, or maybe a top-up of an existing colour without a full head hair colour – simply ask in-salon and our team of hair colouring experts will advise you further.

Hair colour offers in Bristol are rare, as many hair salons find January and February are their quietest months of the year, and are therefore reluctant to give offers and discounts on high-end services such as hair colouring.

Our Colour Bar, however, is an easy and cheap way to boost your colour or add a flash of new colour into your hairstyle without breaking the bank, and within a quick appointment slot – usually less than one hour.

We’re really pleased and excited to be able to unveil a new hair conditioning product for clients this week from the L’Oreal Absolut Repair range at our Bristol salon.

The Absolut Repair Masque is part of the Serie Expert hair treatment range, and offers client with severely-damaged hair instant and intensive hair care.

Containing L’Oreal’s exclusive Lipidium Complex, the Absolut Repair Masque has been designed to target each hair fibre according to the damage level. Once applied, the hair feels stronger, the hair fibres are more resistant, and the hair surface is protected from external wear and tear.

The masque treatment can be used in conjunction with your own treatment, or replacing it. It restores hair shines and gives hair protection on another level.

Simply apply to shampooed hair, towel dry and leave in for 3-5 minutes. The treatment is then thoroughly rinsed. It offers the perfect Winter hair care regime for tired, damaged and unconditioned hair.

Our clients using it this week have said their hair feels instantly richer, full of moisture and shine, and much stronger than before the treatment.

The new Absolut Repair masque is available from our Baldwin Street hair salon for only £14.75, while stocks last. When it’s gone, it’s gone!

The festive season is upon us, and many of our clients are looking for Christmas Party hairstyle ideas in Bristol for office celebrations in December.

So, our team of central Bristol hairdressers thought it would be useful to offer a few of our favourite party hairstyle ideas for Christmas 2018 on a blog post, for easy reference for our Bristol hairdressing blog readers and clients alike.

DEEP SIDE PARTING

By exaggerating the parting of hair to one side, then adding in some thick curls to create a classic Christmas Party hairstyle, this will be a favourite for 2018. It was recently worn by the Duchess of Sussex, and Megan looked simply stunning. This festive hairstyle delivers volume and drama.

HOLLYWOOD GLAM

This classic Hollywood look takes just 10 minutes, and is a favourite for party-goers at Christmas. Just add some curls, set the front wave with S-shaped pins, then finish off with hairspray. The look achieved by Hollywood actress Emma Stone above at for the 89th Annual Awards perfectly showcases this look.

We can help create this look for you at our Colour Bar – ask in-salon for further details. Price start from just £15, with lots of hair inspiration to hand.

WONDERFUL WAVES

Waves are easily achieved and perfect for making an entrance at Christmas Parties this year. Simply opt for a larger curling iron, so that curls fall more loosely around your face. Instead of twirling each section in the same direction, alternate with different sections to get this simply but stunning look.

Our Baldwin Street hairstylists are on hand to help guide and advise clients on the very best party hairstyles for Christmas 2018 in Bristol, so please feel free to get in touch if you’d like us to help create an amazing look for you this year.

It’s that time of year when many of our clients are asking for the top red hair colours for the Autumn season in Bristol.

And with such a huge range of reds, coppers, auburns and brown-red hair colours being available to mark the shift into Autumn months, it can be difficult to choose a red hair colour that’s stunning, on-trend and still affordable.

So our team of central Bristol hair colouring experts have put together the top three red hair colours to watch out for this Autumn at our Bristol hair salon.

ALL-OVER COPPER

This is a simply stunning red hair colour from our Bristol stylists, as showcased by the recent client example above.

The look was achieved by applying a full head of the desired red colouring. Sectioning the hair into four, and then taking small parts of each section applying the red hair colour carefully and evenly through to the ends.

This look took around 60 minutes in the chair for the hair colour application and processing time – the cut and blow dry are extra time and costings.

An all-over copper look costs between £39-£44 depending on the stylist level providing the hair colouring service and we use L’Oreal Professional Colour products at our Baldwin Street hair salon.

RED BALAYAGE HIGHLIGHTS

This stunning look above was delivered by using a deep red hair colour with balayage of soft copper highlights.

The hair colouring was applied to the roots first, then working through to the ends using a freehand technique in-salon.

The deep red and copper tones work well together to provide an amazing texture, and an eye-catching red hair colouring for Autumn using balayage.

The time in the chair for this red and copper hair colouring balayage service was around 75 minutes, and costs between £61.60-£81.50, depending on the stylist providing the service. Cut and blow dry are additional costs.

ALL-OVER VIBRANT RED

This third gorgeous red hair colour for Autumn was delivered by applying a full head hair colour of this superb red. The hair was sectioned into four, and then with small parts of each section having the red hair colour carefully and evenly applied through to the ends.

This look 60 minutes in the chair for the hair colour application and processing time – the cut and blow dry were extra.

An all-over vibrant red hair colouring service costs between £39-£44 depending on the stylist level providing the service.

The festive season is nearly upon us, and our Baldwin Street hair salon is delighted to be stocking Moroccan Oil Christmas Gift Sets for this year.

As many of our regular clients will already know, the team of central Bristol hairstylists adore Morrocan Oil products, and the range continues to be one of our bestsellers throughout the year with our lovely clients.

It’s fantastic to have a gorgeous range of Moroccan Oil Christmas Gift Sets, and we’re sure that these will be really popular Christmas hair product presents for clients looking for the perfect hair conditioning gifts this year.

We’re really excited at our Bristol hair salon this week, with a new product to unveil – called Osmo Clay Wax.

It’s a clay-based styling product for natural definition with a matte finish, and contains beeswax to create thickness, separation and texture with hold.

It provides body and hold, and is pliable for long-lasting styling, whilst delivering a firm hold all day. It’s also suited for all hair types and gives the best results on short to medium-length hair.

To apply, simply add a small amount to palm of the hand about the size of a 20 pence coin, then rub hands together to heat the wax making it spread further and easily distributed through the hair.

Osmo Clay Wax is really workable, so it can be applied then re-worked into different styles later during the day. It’s lightweight and washes out easily, and doesn’t stay in the hair unlike some other wax-based hair products.

As an introductory offer, if you mention this blog post when you visit us, you can also purchase Osmo Clay Wax for only £8.95 whilst stocks last.

Our central Bristol hairdressers had an amazing weekend recently, after attending Salon International 2018 and the Alternative Hair Show. Here are Creative Director Aidan with Stylists Lisa and Ashleigh outside the Show:

Salon International is the hairdressing industry’s biggest and most well-known annual event in the UK, held in London and attracting 1,000s of creative and contemporary hairstylists to experience the hottest trends and products.

As well as watching live hair shows to pick up hairstyling and creative cutting tips, the Wahl demonstration this year at the Show gave us all ideas for new barbering techniques to try back at our Baldwin Street hair studio.

We were also able to pick up new high-quality hairdressing equipment to help deliver even better results for our clients.

Another of the highlights for the Aidan Garlington Hair Design stylists at the 2018 Show was to meet inspirational hair stylists, including Patrick Cameron and Trevor Sorbie, to chat about the hottest trends and upcoming styles.

To find out more about this year’s Salon International 2018 Show, please visit here.

We also had the pleasure of attending this year’s Alternative Hair Show, which is a focal point for raising charity cash and showcasing new styles.

The Alternative Hair Show raises money and awareness for fighting leukemia, and has raised a massive amount of donations for associated charity work, as well as being an amazing way to see cutting edge new hairstyles and colours.

The themes of the Alternative Hair show also help to provide inspiration for our styling team back in the central Bristol hair salon for the coming year.

This year, we were amazed to see the huge variety of hairstyles showcased from around the world, as well as seeing different shapes and colours. This all helps our Bristol hairdressing team to deliver exciting new styles for clients.

It was an incredible experience, and both hairdressing events have really given the stylists lots to think about and try out in salon.

With the change of seasons, our team of Baldwin Street hairdressers have been busy discussing the latest trends, and in particular trying to decide what will be the top three Autumn hairstyles in Bristol for 2018.

It’s been a close call with so many hot hairstyles vying to get the top slots, but according to our expert hairstylists in central Bristol the top three hairstyles this Autumn will be – in no particular order of preference:

The Short Bob

The Long Bob has been a firm favourite with our hairdressing clients in Bristol during 2018, and the Classic Bob has been a top hairstyle during the whole year irrespective of seasonal variations.

Our Baldwin Street stylists predict that with a host of Hollywood stars chopping their hair to chin length, lots of clients will be looking for a no-fuss, easy-to-maintain straight short bob for Autumn this year.

The Top Knot

The combination of a smart long Autumn coat with a sleek top knot provides the perfect seasonal look, and according to our central Bristol hairdressers this will be a hugely popular look from October to January.

The messy bun look seems to have had its day, and the current trend is to apply lots of oil then pull the hair into a tight ponytail and twist until tight.

Finally, the top knot is shaped and secured giving a simple, smart look.

The Perm

Autumn weather can cause havoc to naturally curly hair, but our Bristol hairstylists think this is the perfect opportunity for clients to opt for a perm.

Modern perms are all about full hair, looser curls and beach-styled waves, with Hollywood stars like Emma Stone promoting this stunning hairstyle.

The perm is less damaging for hair than those worn in the 80s, and the use of more ecologically-friendly and scalp-friendly products is essential to us.

Our Bristol Hairdressing Blog has examples of stunning Autumn hairstyles now available from our hair studio in central Bristol – visit here to find out more.
