If you've followed me for a while you'll know that I have a pretty tricky relationship with my hair. Since the great dye disaster of 2012, where I lost basically all of my hair, I've been very particular over who I let loose on my locks.
Because of that, I had never found a hairdresser in London, opting to stick with my trusty stylist back in Bournemouth. However, with busy schedules it was getting a little tricky, and I decided enough was enough, I needed to find someone in London.
At this point, the lovely Angela stepped in, and recommended I head to Vision N16, to visit her stylist Ashley Vanderpuye.
I'll admit to being a little weary when arriving at the salon, but Ashley put me at ease immediately, with his chatty, friendly manner, and the calming space of the salon. We chatted about my hair story, my reluctance to trim, and what looks would suit me. My hair was looking more than a little ratty on the ends, and my fringe was more hair than fringe, so we decided to get my hair looking thicker, fuller and healthier, and to revive my fringe.
We headed downstairs where I was treated to a deep condition and wonderous head massage, using Redken Extreme Fortifier products, that left my hair feeling dreamily soft. I could have quite easily dozed off there and then, chai latte in hand!
Upstairs, Ashley worked his magic, taking off the smallest amounts of hair with the biggest difference. He evened out my hair to be one, healthy, length, meaning my hair was left looking so much fuller and healthier. You could barely tell I'd lost any length at all, my hair just looked better.
We decided to bite the bullet and cut in a full fringe, but slightly longer, so I had the option to wear it full, swept to the side, or parted in the centre and tucked back. I loved the outcome, it's so versatile, and being able to switch up my hairstyle with such little effort has been so fun!
Ashley styled my locks into luscious, bouncy waves, and I couldn't have been more pleased. This is the kind of hairstyle I love to have, but can never be bothered to achieve on my own.
If you're looking for a salon in London, I can't recommend Vision and Ashley enough. It's a few minutes walk from Stoke Newington station, so it's easy to get to, and the service is second to none!
I'm so pleased with my new do!
