Liam Gallagher : King of the locks

Leave a comment

When it comes to great hair how can anyone deny Gallagher junior the title of “King of the Locks”. Since his humble beginnings with Oasis, Liam has consistently hit the sweet spot when it comes to style. Throughout the years, Session stylist and celebrity hairdresser Tyler Johnston has been an elemental influence in defining the Gallagher look.

We also love Liam’s Pretty Green clothing label as does musical soulmate Paul Weller, Paul has recently released his own capsule collection within the Classic British label.

Baby Got Bangs

Leave a comment

I am completely won over by the concept of children’s hairdressers. Since the day that I took my 2 1/2 year old and his crazy-person hair to see a “real” hairdresser, telling her that his hair was just a bit odd and there was no hope for it. Within 5 minutes, she had transformed him from scarecrow into a real boy, with a real boy’s haircut. It turns out he didn’t have horrible hair after all, just a horrible hairdresser. Me.

How hard could it be to cut a child’s hair? The answer, it turns out, was quite damn hard if you want your child to look something approaching normal.

I’ve learnt my lesson, and as soon as baby number two’s hair started getting a bit unruly, we were straight off to the hairdresser’s. She wasn’t particularly keen on the whole experience (strange because I would LOVE to have my hair cut in a chair made from a retro pink toy car!) and the only thing that would keep her still long enough to avoid terrible hairdressing scissor injuries was a steady stream of raisins to chew. All in all though, a success. Neither of my children look like escaped mental patients (anymore) and I’m sure Baby will thank me for it later, particularly once she has seen the photos of her brother’s early years.

Barrie Stephen Christmas Chic Evening

Leave a comment

Mince pies, mulled wine and cocktail dresses, this can only mean one thing – the Christmas party season is officially open!

We love a good Christmas bash and what better way to kick off this year’s festivities than yesterday’s “Barrie Stephen Christmas Chic Evening“. This event, now in its fourth year, is designed to showcase the fabulous work of Barrie and his team, display a huge range of Christmas hair products and most importantly, raise money for local charity LOROS.

So, without further ado, here are some highlights of the night.

Hair up for the Christmas Party

It’s nearly time for the office party and no doubt the ladies out there will have already been thinking about that all important “red carpet” hairdo to wow their colleagues. We were treated to stunning display of hair up styles by Creative Director Neil Smith and Designer Kelly and we hope our pics will provide you with the required inspiration for your own big night out.

If you’re around Leicester and looking for some professional help with that Christmas party style then get yourself booked in to your nearest Barrie Stephen salon before time runs out.

 

Pop Culture Colour

Katy Perry, Fearne Cotton, Nicki Minaj, Amelia Lily…just a few celebs we’ve seen rocking the pink look over the last few months. As Salon International highlighted, colour is back with a massive bang and the Barrie Stephen team were eager to show off their homage to recent pop culture with some dazzling shades. Neil presented a gorgeous strawberry colour while Kelly displayed a shinier, almost shimmering, lilac finish.

 

Christmas pressies for hair lovers

With only 23 shopping days left until Christmas it’s about time you got buying sparkly gifts for the ones you love. And if the ones you love happen to love their hair then you’re in luck because we’ve got some great suggestions.

We were blown away by the beautifully packaged range of Cloud 9 Christmas goodies. With prices exactly the same as the standard packaging, if you’re looking to buy a curling wand or straightening irons for someone this Christmas then these are definitely worth a look. Equally magnificent is the ghd Scarlet Deluxe Collection Set which contains a set of straightening irons and a limited edition travel hairdryer all beautifully boxed with a stylish clutch vanity case.

 

Cupcakes

No party is complete without cake and the cake at this party was particularly special. A mouth watering range of cupcakes were provided by the brilliant Bitsy’s Cupcakery and having munched our way through several we can assure you they tasted just as good as they looked. If you’re in the Midlands area and in need of cake then give the lovely Charlotte a call!
