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.

As many regular clients visiting our central Bristol hair salon know, our team of Baldwin Street hairdressers adore Moroccan Oil hair products.

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.

After a long hot Summer and now the beginning of a wet and windy Autumn is upon us, many of our clients’ hair is dry and damaged when they visit us.

So we’re really pleased to now have in stock new Source Essentielle nourishing shampoo for dry hair at our Baldwin Street hair salon in central Bristol.

Source Essentielle contains 96% natural origin ingredients, with the remaining 4% of processed ingredients being necessary to ensure the right preservation qualities of this unique shampoo formula.

Natural ingredients contained in Source Essentielle nourishing shampoo for dry hair include dried Jasmine flowers, sesame seed oil, purified water, and elements from coconut, wheat and corn to provide a rich, revitalizing and rewarding hair shampoo product perfect for hair that needs extra protection.

Nourishing shampoo is specially-formulated for dry and frizzy hair. It gently cleanses and purifies the scalp to eliminate excess oils and other impurities.

Perfect as a daily hair treatment, it delivers control, nutrition and shine to hair fibres, as well as protecting against adverse weather conditions for clients.

It is also free from silicone, to provide a natural hair feel throughout the day.

Using Source Essentielle nourishing shampoo couldn’t be simpler – simply apply evenly to wet hair, lather and rinse thoroughly.

Our hairstyling team absolutely love it, and have all tried it themselves. We’re sure that clients with dry hair will get maximum benefits from using it, too.

One of the questions we often get asked by new clients visiting our Baldwin Street hair salon is what’s the difference between hairdressing and barbering in Bristol, and new male clients in particular are keen to find out more.

When we get new male clients visiting our central Bristol salon for the first time, they’re often passing trade due to our location or alternatively because we’ve been recommended to them by an existing client of ours.

The question about hairdressing and barbering is a good one, because as a unisex hair salon in central Bristol, we’ve seen more and more male clients visiting us in 2018 to utilise our barbering and gents’ hairdressing services.

We give all clients (male and female) a full and free hair consultation before carrying out any cutting, and this gives a new client the opportunity to talk through their current look, any inspiration they want to bring to a new look, as well as chatting to our team of friendly and experienced hair stylists in detail.

The world of barbering has traditionally been scene as quite one-dimensional from outside the hair industry. Barbering has been viewed as simply about clipper haircuts, a short back and sides delivered in 10 minutes, and then a repeat visit every few weeks to trim the hair with clippers again for a guy.

This, of course, isn’t the case at our hair salon, and our male clients enjoy the same level of consultation, creative cutting and hair product advice that our female clients enjoy when they visit us.

Our hairdressing services involve a full hair consultation every time, a high level of client education around hairdressing and product knowledge, scissor cuts and professional hair styling for men. It’s a top-level experience.

Not just that, but our pricing structure for barbering services is flexible too, rather than trying to offer a one-stop-shop approach as some salons do.

We price our gents’ hairdressing services based on the experience level of our stylist delivering the service. So, for example, our barbering services are currently priced at three levels: £19.50, £21.50 and £24, and isn’t dependent on the amount of time in the chair when a male client visits us.

We pride ourselves on the level of male hairdressing education and men’s hair product knowledge we pass on, too, and are regularly posting male-centric blog posts for the benefit of our growing male client audience.

We also have male and female stylists, so the choice is up to you when you visit our Baldwin Street hair salon in terms of who works with you on your hair.

For example, we recently wrote about the latest trends in gents’ hairdressing in central Bristol – visit here to find out more.

We also stock the full range of superb men’s hair products from Great British Barber – visit here to read all about it.

As many of our blog readers and regular clients know, our Baldwin Street hair salon has long been advocating British Hair products in Bristol.

And we’re excited to be able to give clients a new hair product to try from this week as part of the British Hair range – Blonde Toning Shampoo.

After an amazing Summer with weeks of hot dry weather, many of our clients with lightened and blonde hair have been coming to us complaining of poorly-conditioned blonde hair with unruly tones and bad overall condition.

Blonde Toning Shampoo from British Hair can help with such hair problems for clients with blonde and lighter hair.

This conditioning hair product provides visibly brighter blondes with vibrant colour and toning capacity for all types of blonde hair.

It contains keratin and sunflower seed extracts to help protect and strengthen blonde hair, repair damaged blonde hair, hydrate dry hair and smooth out cuticles.

Blonde Toning Shampoo from British Hair also contains a colour lock formula, enabling clients to protect their blonde hair colour for longer, as well as containing argan oil to nourish hair and help prevent further damage.

Applying this new hair product couldn’t be simpler – simply apply a small amount to wet hair, depending on length and texture.

Massage gently into the scalp and through mid-lengths, working up a lather. Rinse with warm clean water and repeat if required. Use an approved British Hair conditioner to finish, as recommended by our team of hairstylists.
British Hair Blonde Toning Shampoo is available in a 250ml size and only costs £9.95, while stocks last – so grab yours today at our Bristol hair salon!

It’s been an amazing Summer, but we’re now starting to see more and more clients coming to our Bristol hair salon with sun lightened hair issues, looking for help, advice and hair colouring support to bring back their natural colour.

The good news is – we have a service for this, and offer a new hair colouring service for sun-lightened hair, and the ‘before’ and ‘after results below are truly stunning:

The Summer 2018 heatwave has left many clients visiting our Baldwin Street hair salon with hair that looks bleached and washed out after weeks of intense sun. The issue has been to put the clients’ natural hair colour in for them.

We offer a free hair consultation for all of our clients, especially those looking to utilise our expert hair colouring services, to ensure that the right tone, blend and hair colour mix is delivered to them during their visit to our styling team.

When it comes to restoring natural colouring to sun-lightened hair, we start by looking at the level and extent of sun damage caused to the hair, roots, and the overall condition of the hair and scalp after intense heat exposure.

When it comes to providing our hair colouring service to sun-lightened hair, we focus on applying highlights in to the roots if needed, to bring the roots to their natural colour.

Part of the hair colouring process on sun-lightened and sun-damaged hair often involves applying lowlights on to the ends, after washing them out.

This simple but effective hair colour service to hair roots and hair ends is perfect for re-establishing the hair’s overall natural colour, as well as providing a refresh of natural colour at the end of the Summer season for tired hair.

A half-head colour will usually take between 30-45 minutes, with 30 minutes’ processing time for hair colouring applied. A cut and blow dry usually comes afterwards, giving a total chair time of roughly 1.5 hours, depending on length of hair and condition of roots. Ask for further details during your consultation.

We also recommend that clients with sun-lightened or sun-damaged hair consider giving their hair additional moisture, to re-build the integrity of the hair, the roots, the scalp, and to promote better hair health overall.

Clients can also get a fantastic new hair moisturizing treatment too – read this blog post to find out details on this great deal.

We also offer a superb range of Summer hair care products in the Solar Sublime range – please visit here to find out more.
