Smokey Veil by @CHRISTABEL_LEGRAND
"Pulp Riot completely changed the game for me. Its given me more confidence as a colourist because I know my colours wont bleed, I can create incredible custom tones, the fade is incredible and I know I can remove them 100% and return to a beautiful creamy blonde with Blank Canvas! Pulp has an amazing ethos and the products being vegan and not tested on animals is important to me."
HOW I CREATED IT
#1 I did a full head of baby lights: blonde AF + 20 vol processed for 45mins .
#2 Rinse, shampoo and rough dry
#3 Take a zig zag star section in equal parts on either side of the parting to create a veil to fall over everything. Mix 50g lilac, 20g mercury and 7g smoke and apply
#4 Take the first 2 sections at the front of the hairline on a diagonal back and paint using 40g noir
#5 Alternate applications of colour across the rest of the sections using 3 different colours until you run out of sections. These are the colours I mixed:
1st colour: 40g Seaglass, 10g smoke & 10g Mercury
2nd colour: 40g Powder, 10g smoke
3rd colour: 30g blush, 5g smoke, 15g cleopatra
Moonshine Melt by @Hellsbellshair
"I'm absolutely obsessed with Pulpriot. The fact they're 100% Vegan & Cruelty Free with fabulous results is just a dream come true for me! Even when working with the acidic (semis) and alkaline (toners / Faction8) products together the blend is still AMAZING with incredible results. This product has changed my way of transforming clients hair and it can only get better!"
HOW I CREATED IT
#1 With this grey to yellow combination I went in with lightening her 6 week regrowth with Blonde AF.
#2 Once lightened to my desired lift, I then went in on damp hair with Faction8 12.11 & High Speed Toner in Icy ( 1:3 ) then 1-1 ratio 10vol.
#3 Once all the roots were covered I then melted the roots straight into Firefly & Clear in the Semi Permanent range.
Chameleon Bangs by @LauraMayStevensHair
"I completely trust the products through and through! The colour results are incredible and long lasting , the lift I can achieve is insane and the conditioning properties of the products are out of this world, which is super important during all hair transformations but especially with colour corrections!“
HOW I CREATED IT
#1 I pre-lightened the roots with BlondeAF & 15 vol (10 vol & 20 vol together )
#2 I cleansed the ends with Blank canvas, which is our safe colour remover: mixed this with our 6 vol. I did this to create a nice even canvas for the new colour.
#3 Once all rinsed off I pre-toned the hair with our Icy & Silver high speed toners. I mixed 10g Icy and 5g Silver at a ratio of 1:4 with our 6 vol and left this for 10 mins.
#4 I shampooed out and dried to 100 % dry ready for semi permanent application.
#5 For the purple I mixed 150g Nevermore, 100g Lilac, 50g Velvet & 20g Nemesis. For the yellow I mixed 30g Firefly and 30g Lemon, 10g Clear
#6 I left this for 40 mins and rinsed with cold water and a high pressure, no shampoo and finished with conditioner

Meet Sophie, owner of ‘Sophie’s Lashes & Beauty’ which she has been running now for over 7 years!
Sophie gained a wealth of experience working in the industry from her background working in prestigious 5 hotel & spa and salon settings which lead her up to starting a business of her own. We talk about all things beauty and the curved tweezers that she can’t live without!
Hi Sophie, tell us a little bit about your journey and how you go into the industry and what lead up to starting out on your own?
I gained a lot of knowledge from working in different settings from working with a big teams in a 5 star hotels and spas to smaller beauty salon environments. I gained so much knowledge from working in both settings and although it was hard work and long hours.
I started out by working in a few different 5 star hotels with spas and a salons where I gained all my knowledges and experiences from each one to put together for my own business! It was hard work and long hours all the practice paid off. It was actually one of my clients I saw regularly in the salon I worked at that said I should set up on my own and gave me the confidence to go self-employed and I’ve not looked back since!
K18 Biomimetic Hair Science vs. Bond Builders
As professionals in the hairdressing industry, we're well aware of the constant innovation occurring in our field. Our clients love to dramatically alter their look with the ever-changing trends and we do everything we can to prioritise the health of their hair. Bond-building treatments have long been a staple in salons to address this need. However, allow us to present the latest advancement: biomimetic hair science and K18!
Understanding the Future of Haircare: From Bond Builders to Biomimetic Hair Science
For centuries, the haircare industry relied on cosmetic chemistry to conceal damage. Historical solutions like oils and conditioners were designed to sit on the surface of the hair, providing a temporary fix by improving its appearance and manageability. However, these solutions fell short of addressing hair's health at its core.
K18 & Your Salon Services - How to incorporate K18 Services for Ultimate Hair Restoration
Learn how to leverage K18 products in your salon services to reverse damage, fortify hair and enhance salon results all whilst boosting your salon profits. Discover our step-by-step instructions for every treatment, from lightening to styling in our handy salon go-to guide!
What is K18 and how does it work?
Following the natural structure of hair, the biologically active peptide is considered natural. Unlike traditional bonding agents, it is not rinsed away by water or shampoo, making K18 a genuine and enduring remedy for damaged hair. Healthy hair originates in the salon, and K18 believes its influence starts at the salon chair and radiates outward. While K18 is suitable for all hair types and services, the most significant improvements are seen in damaged hair.
From Money Worries to Family Drama: What's Stressing Your Skin & Hair the Most?
Have you ever noticed how closely linked your mind and body are? It's like they're always communicating, even when we're not tuned in.
And when stress creeps in, it's not just your mind that feels the burden – your skin and hair can take a hit too. Stress, whether it's a short-term or a long-term problem, can be detrimental to your body's health.
In fact, a recent survey by the UK’s largest independent supplier to hair and beauty professionals, Capital Hair and Beauty, revealed nearly half (42%) of the nation believe that stress has had a negative impact on their skin and hair health!
Last year, Brits faced their fair share of hair and skin woes.Topping the list was the recurring issue of dry skin, affecting a significant 29% of the population. Not too far behind was hair thinning/loss, troubling over a fifth (22%) of us, while acne and breakouts are also a cause for concern, affecting 19% of survey respondents. And let's not forget about skin inflammation (12%) and eczema (11%).
Something Old - Something New
Does the bob ever go out of style? Short answer: No. The reason for the evergreen appeal of the bob is because, depending on the length, it’s a look that can suit any face shape or hair texture. Right now, it can be anything from a short and swingy French girl bob, a luxurious long bob, or a razor-cut curly bob. For Tori Kiff, it’s about keeping things fresh with the addition of a fringe.
“I love updating a classic curly bob with a fringe, especially as so many of my curly clients seem to think it’s a style they shouldn’t have. I’ve managed to show so many clients that it’s all down to fear and that actually, a curly bob is so flattering and easy to style; I advise them to use their fingers to curl their fringes or to use a brush when styling,” shares Tori.
Of course, the most modern way to wear a bob is the Bixie, a hybrid of the bob and pixie; think classic bob updated with a fringe or micro bangs, or you could play with the Butterfly Bob. RUSH Creative Director Andy Heasman’s a fan.
Skin Cycling 101
If you ever spend time on social media, then you'll definitely have heard about skin cycling, or skin fasting. During the pandemic, this three-step regime rose to popularity as many of us had more time to spend on pursuing our 'perfect' skin. Read on to find out the what and why of skin cycling and how you can build it into your beauty therapy menu.
Vegan and Cruelty-Free Hair and Beauty: Simple Swaps and Recommendations for Veganuary
The new year often brings a sense of renewal, self-improvement and positive change. For many, this means reducing the consumption of animal products and embracing a more compassionate lifestyle. As hair and beauty professionals, we can support and promote this growing movement by embracing vegan and cruelty-free options. However, transitioning to fully vegan products may initially seem daunting. This is why, in this post, we will explore some simple swaps you can try in January that are still highly effective and recommendations for vegan styling products and treatments to expand your offerings this Veganuary. We aim to make embracing ethical beauty approachable and attainable so you can focus on what matters most - caring for your clients with confidence and care.
Simple swaps this Veganuary
Start Small: It can be overwhelming to transition to fully vegan products overnight. One simple swap you can make is changing your hair brushes and combs to those made from natural materials such as bamboo (link to bamboo page) or wood. Not only are these products sustainable and eco-friendly, but they also help reduce static hair and promote healthy shine. Another easy swap for your salon or personal use is choosing cruelty-free and vegan nail polishes from brands like The Manicure Company. Ethically made and with an unwavering commitment to being a vegan and cruelty-free brand, Zero Gel Polish is widely available at our stores and comes in a vast array of colours. These small changes can make a big difference
