42 Keymer Road, Hassocks Hair salon

Long standing Paul Mitchell Signature Salon, nestled in the heart of Hassocks highstreet. Open 6 day

Reflex Hair Design is a long standing shop in the middle of Hassocks High-Street. It has been known as Reflex for 28 years now, when Robert took it over from it being Goldilocks. Hayley, our stylist of 14 years has now taken over and hopes to continue with keeping it busy and buzzing. We have long term Stylists Robert & Wendy who have been here for 10+ years, and we have just welcomed new stylist Daniella who started her career here as a Saturday girl, trained and work in Pruners Haywards Heath & has now come back here after maternity leave.

✨ Models Needed ✨

We have our regular Moroccanoil training session with James this Friday, the 23rd, & we are looking for 2 more models.

We have a new colour range & ideally would like a couple of brunettes or 1 brunette & 1 red/copper.

This is all a complimentary service - the colour & blow dry will be free - however we will be using your hair for content & it will be a longer session than usual - so bring snacks!

If interested please send us a message with your current hair history and we will get back to you 🤎

unrivalled in shine ✨

we get asked a lot why we’ve moved over to Moroccanoil. there are many reasons we will be discussing over time but the main one - look at this shine, it’s incomparable in my opinion & after 20+ years behind the chair, I’ve tried a lot.

from colours to the products they are all enriched with Argan oil giving it the shine you love, but with the colours they are also infused with their ArganID proprietary technology, using micro-particles to help deliver argan oil’s moisturising benefits into the hair cortex and support cuticle repair.

beautiful colour from Daniella using Moroccanoil Professionals UK from start to finish 🩵

That hair you just saved to your Pinterest board?! Might not even exist… 👀⁣
⁣
⁣
We can’t lie, inspo pics brought to the salon now are 80% AI & it’s making our jobs a little harder. Perfect colour, perfect lighting, perfect placement, perfect hair, the kind that fits a Disney princess every single time…⁣
⁣
Not a single fly away. No rouge hair left of the jumper… and it’s really hard when we see them to explain why we can’t do them.⁣
⁣
AI is getting ridiculously good at making hair look real, which means it can be really difficult to tell what’s an actual photograph and what’s been created or heavily altered. So we thought we would show you what AI looks like on our own pics & how to spot it.⁣
⁣
Basically… Is there natural texture? Can you actually see a scalp?⁣
⁣
Do the roots make sense & does the colour look realistic throughout the hair?⁣
⁣
Are the ends behaving like actual hair & are there weird fingers, ears, hairlines or background details that look slightly… suspicious? 😂⁣
⁣
Even our products got changed in the afters, stylists edited out… I mean why we need to edit our beautiful Boo & gorgy Ann is beyond me but we did it to show you the difference. It’s almost cartoon like I think.⁣
⁣
Does this mean we don’t like pictures. Nooooo! We can absolutely use pictures as inspiration. In fact, PLEASE bring them - hair you like AND hair you don’t believe it or not.⁣
⁣
Just let us translate the picture into something that works for your actual hair, rather than trying to recreate something that was made by a computer, with absolutely no regard for bleach, colour theory or the laws of hairdressing. 😂⁣
⁣
Real hair unfortunately isn’t meant to look perfect.⁣
⁣
It has texture.⁣
It has movement.⁣
It has roots.⁣
It has flyaways.⁣
It has the odd wonky bit.⁣
⁣
& I can’t lie, I wish I used Chat to make this post. 4 hours on and off on Canva in between 2 x bedtimes, E meltdown & potential concussion for L after a kiss from sister hit too hard 😂 ⁣

⁣
⁣
one week till our first brand trip & it’s going to be a good one. ⁣
⁣
next Monday the girls are heading off to an exclusive celebration of all things new & what’s next for Moroccanoil.⁣
⁣
we can’t lie. it’s a dream to work with and for this brand & having opportunities like this is so humbling. plus the fact it’s at a stunning spa & we’re basically having a pj party is a massive win!⁣
⁣
we’re looking forward to catching up with our ambassador gang, we will take you along with us obvs & we can’t wait to show you what’s coming tee hee ✨ ⁣

ya girly is a Moroccanoil Ambassador 🧡✨🩵⁣
⁣
⁣
What an experience, what an opportunity. What a blimming fantastic group of people. ⁣
⁣
Yesterday was the best day of all - which is hilarious as I was close to vomiting at the thought of standing up in front of fellow hairdressers, showcasing my work & talking about it. But I did it, rambled like you know I love to do & even managed to pick up an award from it - how?! ⁣
⁣
It was a pinch me moment getting accepted into this program. But the best part has been the people. It was such a kind, funny, supportive group & I don’t think we could have asked for a better bunch. Thank you all for everything 🫶⁣
⁣
Doing this along side the queen of blondes Hair By Esta was a dream, not only does she doesn’t move in her sleep so I got all the room & all the uninterrupted sleep this pregnant & then 7 weeks PP mumma needed, but it was the best support & I’m so proud of her. ⁣
⁣
Thank you to Educator Colourist Hairdresser Vanessa Boland Sharon Dale & for all their knowledge, support & everything in between, you are amazing and I’m so grateful you believed in me. ⁣
⁣
Excited for all that’s to come… starting with Eclipse: The Revelation 🧡🩵 ⁣
⁣
PS: wouldn’t be me if I didn’t ramble 🤪⁣

PPS: Moroccanoil Professionals UK is the brand to work with guys 🙌
