Summer Head to Toe
From nourished hair and pampered faces to manicured toes and fuzz-free, tanned legs, here's our need-to-know round-up of how to get your clients summer-ready.Hair Prep
"For clients planning a holiday somewhere hot, you should prep their hair in advance. Encourage them to go for an all-over glossing and a deep moisturising treatment before they head off, and while they're away, make sure they have the right products to protect their hair from colour fade. Tell them to wear a hat to use a leave-in conditioner with a built-in SPF, such as Revlon Professional Equave. If they're going to be swimming in the sea or in a pool, tell them to rinse their hair afterwards and to not let it dry in the sun!
Upon their return, make sure they're booked in for a trim and another glossing and a deep repair treatment. Blonde clients might need toning down if they've brightened too much, while brunettes and redheads will need a glossing all-over to refresh any faded ends and to even out any sun-lightened areas."
Ceri Cushen, Metropolis Hairdressing
Brow Love
"Microbladingis becoming more and more of a go-to service with clients and come the summer months, it gets even more popular, as clients don't want to worry about how their makeup looks while they're by the pool or beach. Microblading is a fantastic alternative to HD Brows, as it's more long-lasting, semi-permanent treatment. It's also water and smudge-proof, which is a great option for clients taking long summer holidays and those who are regular swimmers."

About Face
"Summer is a time when clients can struggle to balance their skin, due to the sun and humidity, so facials are a great way to help them feel comfortable in their skin, especially at a time when they're likely to be wearing less makeup. Each clients' skin is different and facials should be tailored towards them and their skin type. We offer a fantastic range of facials that are popular due to their unique combination of active ingredients that protect and nourish the skin. The clinically tested formulations are packed with powerful antioxidants and active vitamins which help to improve the appearance of lines, sun damage, problem skin, uneven skin tone and dryness."

Nailing It
"Summer will be all about nudes and soft pink shades which some minimalist designs. Chrome-like finishes will stay on-trend for most of the year too. We'll also see more neon shades, teamed with animal print or geometrical designs. Shape-wise, we'll be sticking with a short squoval or a medium almond."
Julie-Anne Lariviere, nail design expert.

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.

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
