the perfect retreat

Just had to share  this beautiful little retreat my love treated to me too ...

So The Stables is located at Southend on sea, we left this little place once, stayed in and cooked both nights:) As my boyfriend and I still live at home we don't get much chance to put our cooking skills into practice, and our 'cuisine' was very enjoyable! (haha) honestly.

He knows me too well to pick somewhere this perfect

Do you know any little getaway gems like these? If so PLEASE recommend!

''there may be bundles of it on the floor but you will still have long hair''

So, even though I've been hairdressing for 5 years now I still like to refresh my knowledge. It is so easy to fall into the same routine over and over again! To all fellow stylists- if your using that same sectioning pattern for every haircut/colour you do ... its time to refresh!! I'm guilty of this crime too! Don't get me wrong  Its good to stick with what you know will work well but if hairdressing legends never took those risks they wouldn't be where they are now!

  Anyway, every six weeks or so my work pals and I have a creative training evening with JR, former - Eastern Stylist of the year and Avant Garde Finalist. I was lucky enough to work and be trained by this wonderful character and to get a front row seat insight to the way he creates.

  My model was extremely easy going (which is always a help!) but her one wish was to keep her long hair! I  learnt so much from this little haircut and that you can really push the boundaries and end up with something exciting!- be daring and take a few risks. I wish blogging came with a 360 view because the texture had a real rock and roll feel once i was finished with it! 

As technical as this haircut was it still has an editorial finish and is do-able for the client

Comment are welcome:)

Sassoon SS13 The Muses Collection

Thought I'd add a little post of Sassoon's S/S collection. I'm always a big fan of their work and they are a huge inspiration

I'm not going to ramble on, its just mainly for the images, the gentlemen has to be my favorite image, great use of colour and texture within a really bold haircut.

Let me know what you think!!
