Chop and Change

😍✨ FROM DIY COLOUR TO BEAUTIFUL, SHINY HAIR! ✨😍

This lovely lady’s mum has been coming to the salon for many years, and after recently moving to the area, she recommended that her daughter come and see me too. ❤️

When she visited a couple of weeks ago, I asked what had happened to her hair. She explained that she had been colouring it herself for years and wasn’t sure what else to do.

I told her, “I can sort it out for you!” So today was all about pre-lightening those ends, creating a clean canvas and applying a beautiful new colour. ✨

I think her hair looks absolutely stunning! There’s nothing better than beautiful, shiny, healthy-looking hair. We used Evolution of the Shine to help make her hair feel and look incredible. 💕

😍✨ A LITTLE SELF-CARE GOES A LONG WAY! ✨😍

With her mum and mother-in-law visiting, this lovely lady took the opportunity to leave the children with their nannies and grandma and come in to get her hair done. ❤️

Sometimes it’s just so nice to have a little self-care and some well-deserved me time. To sit back, relax and enjoy a little rest while we take care of your hair. 💕

Today was all about creating a beautiful, soft finish and giving her the chance to switch off for a while. Because it’s not always about a dramatic change — sometimes it’s simply about taking a moment for yourself and leaving the salon feeling refreshed, relaxed and fabulous! ✨

😍✨ JUST LOOK AT THAT BEFORE! ✨😍

We absolutely LOVE a before picture like this because it makes the transformation even better! ❤️

This lovely lady is normally rushing straight out of the salon, off swimming in the river or onto her next adventure, so we hardly ever get the chance to take an after photo! 😂🏊‍♀️

But last time, we managed to capture her finished look, and she absolutely LOVED it! Especially those beautiful, soft, controlled curls rather than her usual natural curls. 💕

So today was all about a little trim on the ends, a gorgeous blow-dry and recreating those lovely, soft curls that she fell in love with last time. ✨

Sometimes it’s not about changing your colour or having a complete restyle. It’s simply about how your hair is finished and how amazing it makes you feel! 🥰

Who else loves a soft, bouncy curl? 💁‍♀️

✨💛 WHEN EVERYONE LOVES YOUR NEW HAIR! 💛✨

There’s nothing better than having your hair done and receiving loads of compliments! 😍

Last time this lovely client visited, we took her lighter and brighter, and she’s been telling us how much EVERYONE has loved her new colour! 🥰

So today wasn’t about changing everything again. It was simply about refreshing those roots while keeping her beautiful, lighter, brighter ends looking fabulous! ✨

Sometimes all you need is a little maintenance to keep your colour looking gorgeous.

And do you know what makes us really happy? Hearing how much our clients are loving their hair and all the lovely compliments they’re getting! ❤️

Beautiful hair, happy clients, happy hairdressers! 💕

❤️✨ 22 YEARS OF HAIR, FRIENDSHIP & MEMORIES! ✨❤️

Today we worked out that I’ve been doing this lovely lady’s hair for 22 YEARS! 🥹💕

Years ago, she used to be my model for hairdressing competitions. Back then, we competed in huge halls in front of crowds of people, creating all sorts of hairstyles, and we won plenty of awards along the way! 🏆✂️

I’m going to have to dig out some of those old photos and share them with you one day! 📸

Fast-forward 22 years and she’s now a busy mum, still coming in to have her hair done and enjoy a little well-deserved time for herself. ❤️

I absolutely love our catch-ups. It’s like having an old friend back in my chair!

Today we created a beautiful braided balayage, adding more depth and gorgeous caramel highlights throughout her hair. 🤎✨

It was also a chance to show Brooke and Fran some different colouring techniques. I love passing on my knowledge and showing the next generation of hairdressers that there are so many ways to create beautiful colour! 🎨

From competition models to busy mums, from winning awards years ago to winning them today — what a journey! 🏆❤️

This is why I love being a hairdresser. It’s never just about the hair. It’s about the people, the friendships and the memories we make along the way. 💕

✂️✨ SHORT HAIR, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES! ✨💕

Who says short hair has to look the same every time? 😍

This lovely lady has been coming to us for years, and one of the things I absolutely love is that we always manage to do something a little different with her hair!

Last time she visited, we refreshed her roots. This time, it was all about the power of a toner! 🎨✨

Sometimes you don’t need a complete colour change to create a fresh new look. A beautiful toner can make all the difference!

We love chopping and changing her hair, playing with different tones and keeping her short style looking fabulous every time she visits. ❤️

After all, that’s what Chop & Change is all about! ✂️💕

✨💕 FRESH ROOTS, FRESH HAIR, FRESH FEELING! 💕✨

Is there anything better than walking out of the salon with your roots freshly coloured and your hair looking fabulous? 😍

Yes, it might mean an early morning appointment, but sometimes it’s all about getting up, getting it done and starting your day feeling amazing! ☀️💇‍♀️

We love our early morning clients who fit their hair appointments around their busy lives. ❤️

Because that fresh hair feeling is always worth getting up early for! ✨

✂️💕 A BEAUTIFUL BOB & A LITTLE ME TIME! 💕✂️

Sometimes a salon appointment is about so much more than just having your hair done! ❤️

This lovely client has been coming to Chop & Change for many years, visiting every six to seven weeks to keep her colour looking fresh and her gorgeous little bob in shape. ✨

She’s always such a busy lady, so it’s lovely when she gets to sit down, switch off, relax and enjoy a little bit of well-deserved self-care. 💆‍♀️☕️

We absolutely LOVE a beautiful bob! Timeless, classy and always stylish. 😍

Because sometimes the best thing you can do is take a little time out for yourself. 💕

💍✨ JUST TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE BIG DAY! ✨💍

And this beautiful Mother of the Bride is wedding-ready! 🥂💕

I’ve had the pleasure of looking after this lovely lady’s hair for the past four or five years, and I also do her daughter’s hair — the bride-to-be! 👰🏼‍♀️❤️

So keep your eyes peeled in a couple of weeks, because you’ll be seeing the bride’s hair too! 👀✨

One of the things I absolutely LOVE about being a hairdresser is being part of people’s journeys. From everyday appointments to those huge life moments, weddings, celebrations and everything in between. 💕

It’s such a privilege to be trusted with their hair and to share these special milestones with them.

Now let the wedding countdown begin! 🥂💒
