The blog.

It’s time for one of the favourite hairdressing slots on our blog – our regular hairstyle of the month in central Bristol.

And this month, we’ve got a seasonal favourite for our clients to try out, which will be a perfect haircut for the Summer: Tousled Beach Hair.

This Summer hairstyle at our Baldwin Street hair salon is a firm favourite, with clients coming back year-after-year to get an amazing look for their holidays.

To create a Tousled Beach Hair look starts with a shampoo and conditioning treatment of the client’s hair, then cutting the length in as required.

A tousled beach hairstyle ideally has soft textured layers, but is versatile and can be created with or without a fringe. It’s all about what the client wants.

This Summer hairstyle can be worn dry or with wet hair left to dry out on the beach during the day, with come clients wearing it straight and others preferring to have a slight curl in their Tousled Beach Hair look. It’s up to you!

This hairstyle is ideal for leaving down during the day on the beach, then wearing it up in the evening when going out for food, drinks and dancing.

The Tousled Beach Hair look pictured above took approximately an hour to create in-salon including the cut and blow-dry, and costs from £33 to £46.50.

In terms of maintaining a Tousled Beach Hair look, our central Bristol hairstylists recommend using British Hair Curl Cream and L’Oreal Beach Waves to keep the hair in perfect condition and prevent heat damaging.

It’s that time of the month here at Aidan Garlington Hair Design when we dedicate our central Bristol hair salon blog to a specific haircut or hairstyle to showcase it for readers and clients.

And with Summer upon us, we’re going to review a popular hairstyle for our female clients – cropped hair for women this Summer in Bristol.

The essential element to this women’s hairstyle is to have it cropped on one side and longer on the other. It’s a dramatic, statement haircut and great for Summer weather, as it allows movement and air flow across the face and neck during warmer weather, whilst still retaining a strong signature look.

The women’s haircut in the pictures above was delivered using scissors and clippers, with the scissors creating texture and giving added softness overall.

The full head colour was from a bleach and tone treatment, followed by application of Fuschia colour from the Milkshake hair colouring brand.

The scissor cut at the side provides a strong look, whilst the cropping element leads into a longer level on the left from a graduated bob and a soft fringe.

This gorgeous example of cropped hair for women took approximately two and three quarter hours to deliver and costs from £93, depending on the stylists level providing the cut and colour.

Ask the hairstyling team at our Baldwin Street hair salon in central Bristol for further details when you make your booking. It’s a fantastic Summer look!

The team of hair stylists in central Bristol at Aidan Garlington Hair Design are taking a closer look at one of the best Summer hair products on the market this week – L’Oreal Beach Waves.

Beach Waves is a texturizing spray, and is classified in the salt spray group of hair products. It’s a perfect hair product to get that gritty tussled beach look.

It can be applied on dry or wet hair, and its main purpose is to add texture.

Classified as a finishing product, Beach Waves from L’Oreal is ideal for helping to create an outdoor natural look, favoured by many of our clients during the Summer months when the beach is a favourite place to be.

Suited best to medium and longer hair, Beach Waves is easy to apply – just spray in, and scruff up hair to get a tousled beach look for the rest of the day.

Although Beach Waves has been around for about two years, it remains one of the most popular Summer hair products in Bristol at our Baldwin Street hair salon.

This week at Aidan Garlington Hair Design have another exclusive offer from our central Bristol hairdressing blog – and it’s across one of the most exciting and popular hair product ranges we’ve introduced into the hair salon in recent months.

British Hair products cover the full range of styling, conditioning and finishing hair products, and are competitively priced as well as being superb everyday hair products to use on a wide variety of hair types and hair lengths.

We first introduced British Hair products into the salon in January – and blogged about them here at the time.

After a successful UK launch at the start of the year, British Hair has upgraded their shampoo and conditioner products. And we’re able to give clients an amazing introductory offer until the end of May at our hair salon.

All the British Hair shampoo and conditioner hair products are usually £9.95 each, but if you buy any shampoo in the range before the end of May and mention this blog post, you can also get a conditioner for half price at £5.

The British Hair shampoo and conditioner products are designed to amplify hair volume and boost the overall health of most hair types.

These everyday hair products at our central Bristol hair studio are vegan-friendly, and are perfect for reconstructing tired, limp, stressed out hair.

This is a limited offer – and is on a first-come-first-served basis. Once the additional shampoo and conditioner stocks are gone, they’re gone!

With the recent changes of seasons, our expert hairdressers at Aidan Garlington Hair Design are going to focus on Summer hair treatments at our central Bristol hair salon.

One of our favourite Summer hair protection product ranges comes from L’Oreal called Solar Sublime, and our client feedback has been amazing.

The L’Oreal Solar Sublime range of Summer hair treatments includes a Solar Spray product with UV protection, shampoo, and after-sun conditioner.

The Solar Sublime shampoo removes salt, minerals and chlorine to stop hair drying out and lightening existing hair colouring which might be in place.

This means that your hair colouring can last for longer in hotter weather, especially in the hotter drier Summer months.

The main purpose of the Solar Sublime range of Summer hair treatment products is to prevent hair from sun damage.

As a special offer exclusive to our Bristol hairdressing blog, we’re giving clients these fantastic L’Oreal hair products at an introductory price here.

Mention this blog post at our Baldwin Street hair salon in central Bristol, and get the shampoo for only £11.99, and the after-sun conditioner for £12.99.

The Solar Sublime shampoo and conditioner are excellent everyday products, and can make a huge difference in protecting your hair condition.

We also have other sun protection hair products and treatments available, and give our clients a free consultation on the best treatments to protect their hair in Summer months for their individual hair type. Ask for details.

Ask for details in-salon, and one of our team of stylists will be on hand to help you further and co-ordinate an informative and free Summer hair consultation session for you at our Baldwin Street hair salon.

This week at Aidan Garlington Hair Design we’re focusing on another superb haircut from a recent client visit to our Baldwin Street hair salon in central Bristol.

And this month’s top hairstyle is becoming a firm favourite – Rainbow Roots.

It’s a popular fun haircut, and involves applying pre-lightener to lift colour. Our hair colouring experts in Bristol recommend L’Oreal Platinum as a great hair colouring product to lift colour as well as add tone for a Rainbow Roots cut.

After applying pre-lightener, different colours are added into roots, depending on what the client wants. These can be semi-permanent, traditional hair colouring products, or temporary Hair Chalks which typically wash out in 3-5 washes without the need for pre-lightening.

The toner colours are left in to process for around 20 minutes, then the hair is rinsed, cut and styled. It’s that simple.

Semi-permanent Hair Chalks take about 20 minutes in the chair and cost from as little as £20, whilst full bleach and toning takes around two and a half hours with a cut and blowdry, and costs from £45.

Our central Bristol hair colourists also recommend using gentle shampoo for daily maintenance, which should see tonal colours staying in the hair and looking vivid for up to four weeks.

After that, we can apply a colour refresh if required, which only takes 30 minutes at our Baldwin Street hair salon.

The Rainbow Roots is a fantastic hairstyle for an Undercut colour, which can also be covered up for work or professional purposes. It’s also a subtle hair colour, and our favourites at the moment are pinks and purples.

We also offer all clients a full and free hair consultation, to ensure that your requirements are fully met beforehand. Book yours today.
