Your hairdresser Is Just Not That Into You

Well another great week at the English, BUSY. i have been Quoted in Aprils Women's Health Mag.
insits you'll look better in a Jessica Simpson-style extensions. "A good hairdresser is a good judge of Character ," says Steve Corthine owner of Stevie English Hair in Sydney. "When deciding what's right for you they should ask you about your job, your wardrobe and your routine." If they don't ask tell them. For instance, if you prefer to just shower and go in the mornings you don't want a cut that's takes a lot of styling. "I like someone who;s done their research," Corthine says. "Bring in a few pics, and tell me what you don't like as well as what you do." Honesty and communication are key, on both sides. And remember that ultimately, its in your hairdressers favour to do a good job on your hair as well. " That's my work walking out the door," Corthine quips.>
Some of the work that walks out our door is some of the best around. I am very proud of my team and the standard of work that we maintain. We rock!

So you think you can dance at Lawn Bowls

Some of the team at lawn bowls on Sunday

Another great week at the English, Verity was prepping hair for "So You Think You Can Dance" the salon was pumping. We are really lucky to get a nice mix of great clients and then get asked now and then to help on some cool shows. As soon as I have pics I will post.
We have a great relationship with lots of dancers and its always nice to help them out. While some of the team were prepping hair, the rest of us were at Waverley Bowls having a cool team bonding afternoon. Think the team was more into drinking than bowls. But it was a lot of fun.

Pisces

The strangest thing happened this week. My first 5 clients on Wednesday were all Pisces. I'm Pisces, a lot of my friends are, and now a large amount of my clients are. Is this a rarity? Or do we attract things and people to whom we are alike?

2009 Oscars Looks

I am sure you have all seen countless images of Oscar dresses, winners, and losers, but I just wanted to comment on my favourite hairstyles from this year's awards.

Sarah Jessica Parkers's colour looks amazing. It looks natural, the regrowth isn't visible because the lighter colour is underneath and the hair looks healthy and gorgeous. It is a great low-maintenance colour and a great look for autumn.










Jennifer Aniston always has great hair, and this year was no exception. Her lovely honey blonde colour suits her skin tone,and the casual blowdry-with-Bohemian braid looks done but not overdone. Her stylist must get paid very well ;)















My two favourite long-and-curly styles worn by Alicia Keys and Amanda Seyfried. Alicia's hair looks gorgeous and healthy (she must use O&M colour!) and glamourous. Amanda'a lovely natural blonde colour also looks great, and the smooth loose curls look easy and pretty.






This lady, Taraji Henson, is rocking the hell out or a sharp razored bob and a great blowdry. Not fussy, just well-groomed and very cool.















Kate Winslet definitely looks like an Oscar winner here. It's a classic upstyle with a bit of a modern twist. The super-sculpted look really suits












I don't normally comment on bad hairstyles BUT.... Jessica Biel here is a beautiful young lady at the ACADEMY AWARDS and she has what looks like dirty hair tied up in a half-hearted attempt at a style. I just think a shampoo and blowdry could have helped. You're still hot Jessica.

The New O&M Website

Well, I'm back in the salon after a pretty great holiday on the Sunshine Coast, QLD. Lots of surfing, sunshine and general relaxing and good times. I admit that I was nervous about leaving the salon for the first time but the girls have proven that I was worried for nothing. They had a great week and I feel very lucky to have such brilliant colleagues. You can't put a price on their value-thanks girls!

We have had some new press, and Originalandmineral.com.au website has just been launched and I make an appearance or two. It's so nice to have a product company that not only supports us as team, but offers great products and great opportunity. Thanks O&M.

A litlle bit of press

Its always nice when someones saying nice things about you.

The First Salon In Australia

We are the first salon in Australia to have the new colour lock Irons. We are actully the first concept salon in Australia who has become T3.
T3 is a company who has taken the styling irons to new levels, they have changed the way we will be doing hair. Their Irons Technology supersedes any other iron, the technology is three years more advanced than their closest rival.
They have also superseded the hair dryer, a hairdryer that with constant use the condition of the hair will get better and better, it doesn't blast the hair, it uses patented tourmaline infusion technology, which drys the hair using infrared. Leaving the hair less damaged and well conditioned. Also because of the technology they use less energy which means less carbon credits.
