National Hairstylist Appreciation Day!

Our hairstylists are SO important to us… extremely important to some people. I mean, a survey conducted by Daily Mail (2013) showed that “British women generally keep the same hairdresser for 12 years, almost a year longer than the average marriage of 11 years.” We know what you’re thinking- WOW! We just wanted our hairdressers to know how much they mean to us today more than ever because today is- NATIONAL HAIRSTYLIST APPRECIATION DAY! So to the guys and gals who work miracles on our hair, boost us up when we’re down and listen to our sorrows when we’re sad- here’s to YOU! 

Thank you for…


1. Saving our lives in times of crisis. We won’t forget the times you sprung to our rescue when we’ve had a last minute event that completely slipped our minds.


2. Trialling all those colour strips in our younger phases, blonde to brown, brown to red, red to blonde and back again...even though you warned us that it might go wrong somewhere along the way!


3. Listening to us nattering away talking about the same TV gossip that you’re last client spent 15 minutes talking about.


4. Not judging us when we tell you our deepest secrets and past stories. More so, thanks for not holding it against us and completely understanding every-single-time.


5. The endless cuppa teas.


6. Introducing us to GHD’s 10 years ago! Lifesaving things…


7. Finally persuading us to trim our straggly ends after we forbid you to do it for years, believing all the myths that hair grows best if you never cut it. We were so wrong!


8. The relaxing head massage whilst washing our hair to soothe the aches after a long day!


9. Educating us on the best shampoos for our hair type, and reminding us that anything containing silicones is a first class no go!


10. Saving us a fortune with buying all the latest copies of Vogue, Elle and Cosmopolitan…even though you see us in our comfies a little TOO often we really do love a bit of fashion now and again!


11. Always squeezing us in for a trim, even when your diary is jam packed.


12. The weekend flexibility, opening on a Saturday and a Sunday to fit around us 9 to 5ers! We love you!


13. Staying around, even when we’ve moved from pillar to post, job swapped, house swapped, you have always been there like a part of our extended family.


14. Refusing us our ridiculous requests, like a semi-perm on years of peroxide dyed hair to make it look thicker, now we understand!


15. That fresh and sleek salon look after all the finishing products have been applied.


16. When we ask you for ‘a pretend cut’ (one of those cuts where we don’t want it to look any different) and you try so hard to get rid of those split ends being given 2 millimetres to work with!


17. Informing us about heat protection spray, our wispy snapped strands are no more!

18. Smiling politely when we are 20 minutes late for our appointment due to ‘nightmare traffic’, even though we’ve just put you and your clients waiting list right off schedule for the rest of the day. You know we didn’t mean it.


19. Trying your absolute best to match the exact picture that we brought in of Jennifer Anniston’s new do.


20. Making our exes so gutted to have let us go! Even we know we’re rocking this new balayage look!


21. Remaining loyal and always putting 110% into our style every time.
