Gustav Fouche

Do you dream of hair that looks glossy, luxurious and beautifully expensive?

At Gustav Fouche, we specialise in creating bespoke hair colour that feels modern, healthy and completely personal to you.

From luminous blondes and rich brunettes to vibrant coppers, radiant reds, balayage and beautifully blended foils, every colour by Wella is designed to complement your skin tone, lifestyle and natural hair.

Each stylist in the salon brings their own creativity, expertise and approach. Around 92% of my own clients are blonde, but I also love creating rich, dimensional brunettes that shine beautifully and move effortlessly.

Our goal is never simply to change your hair colour. We want to create hair that looks glossy, shiny, healthy and full of movement. Hair that flows beautifully, feels luxurious and gives you confidence every time you look in the mirror.

Are you ready for hair that looks truly expensive?

Why can balayage make your hair look brighter and blonder while using less blonde?

Debbie created this beautiful transformation by focusing on contrast, dimension and the client’s natural hair colour.

One of the biggest benefits of balayage is that it allows the natural colour to remain visible. This creates depth around the lighter pieces, helping the blonde look brighter, fresher and more luxurious.

Old highlights can sometimes begin to look flat because there is not enough contrast between the blonde and the natural hair. Lowlights may also fade warmer over time, which can leave the colour looking dull or orange.

By introducing the client’s natural colour back into the hair using a reverse balayage technique, Debbie was able to break up the solid blonde and make every lighter piece pop.

Balayage also grows out beautifully because there is no harsh line at the roots. This means softer regrowth, lower maintenance and a more natural result between appointments.

Would you have guessed that sometimes using less blonde can actually make you look blonder?

Summer is here and so is one of the busiest times of the year in the salon.

June, July and August are always packed with weddings, holidays, garden parties, festivals and special events. If you have not booked your appointment yet, now is the time.

What many people forget is that once September arrives, you may only have one or two appointments left before we head into the Christmas rush, which starts towards the end of November. Those appointments disappear incredibly quickly.

Do not leave it until the last minute and end up struggling to find a space when you need it most. Your hair deserves to look and feel fabulous for every holiday, every celebration and every photograph.

Book ahead now and secure your preferred day and time so you can enjoy beautiful hair throughout summer and be ready for autumn and the festive season.

Call us today on 02072291818 to reserve your appointment before the diary is full.

She arrived feeling nervous.

Like so many women with fine hair, especially during perimenopause and menopause, she had reached the point where her hair no longer felt like her. It felt flat, lifeless and difficult to style, and she had lost confidence in it.

That is why every transformation in my salon starts with the Perfect Consultation.

We talked about why she wears her hair the way she does, what she struggles with every day, and how her hair has changed over time. Understanding the person behind the hair is just as important as understanding the hair itself.

Together we decided to gently warm up her colour to create more softness, richness and the illusion of fuller, healthier hair. Combined with the right haircut, the transformation is incredible. She looks radiant, her hair has more movement, and most importantly, she left smiling.

If you are struggling with fine hair, thinning hair, or your hair has changed during perimenopause or menopause, do not assume you have to live with it. The right consultation, colour and haircut can completely transform the way your hair looks and feels.

Watch the transformation and let me know what you think.

Sometimes a haircut is about so much more than hair.

When my beautiful client arrived for her Perfect Consultation, she was understandably nervous. Like so many women with fine hair, especially during perimenopause and menopause, she had lost confidence in how her hair looked and behaved. It no longer felt like her.

Before we picked up a pair of scissors or mixed a colour, we spent time talking. We discussed why she styles her hair in a certain way, what she struggles with every morning, how her hair has changed over the years, and what she truly wanted to achieve.

Fine hair needs a completely different approach. It is not just about adding layers or making it blonder. It is about understanding movement, density, colour placement, face shape and creating the illusion of fuller, healthier hair.

Together we decided to warm up her colour, bringing softness, richness and life back into her hair. The result is a transformation that not only makes her hair look healthier and fuller, but also makes her eyes sparkle and her confidence shine through.

This is why I believe every great hair transformation starts with the Perfect Consultation. Listening is just as important as cutting or colouring.

If you are struggling with fine hair, thinning hair, menopause hair changes, perimenopause hair loss or feel like your hairstyle no longer works for you, know that there are solutions. Sometimes the smallest changes can make the biggest difference.

Watch the transformation and let me know if you can see the confidence returning.

When should you start planning your wedding hair?

Ideally, your bridal hair journey should begin around 12 months before your wedding day.

Why so early?

Beautiful wedding hair starts long before the final styling appointment. Giving yourself enough time allows us to improve the quality and condition of your hair, plan your colour, perfect your haircut and make sure your chosen bridal hairstyle works beautifully with your natural texture.

Healthy, well prepared hair is easier to style, holds its shape better and looks far more polished in your wedding photographs and videos.

We can still help brides with shorter timelines, even when the wedding is only three months away, but starting early gives us more time to create the very best result.

Stylist availability is another important factor. Experienced wedding hairdressers become booked very quickly, particularly during the busiest wedding months.

Do you think adding more blonde makes you look blonder?

It is one of the biggest myths I see in the salon.

Many women believe that the more blonde they add, the brighter and more youthful their hair will look. In reality, the opposite is often true.

Beautiful blonde hair needs contrast. Without a little depth, every strand blends into one colour, making the blonde appear flatter and less vibrant. By introducing subtle lowlights or a slightly deeper root, your blonde has something to reflect against. The result is brighter looking blonde, more movement, more dimension, and hair that looks naturally luxurious.

In today's transformation, my beautiful client already had a gorgeous blonde, but there was simply too much of it. By reintroducing texture and contrast, we created a softer, more youthful result that enhanced her skin tone, softened the appearance of the skin, and made her eyes stand out beautifully.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is focusing only on covering white hair. Modern hair colour is about creating depth, movement and dimension that works with your skin tone, eye colour and lifestyle. Not every woman needs to be blonde right to the root. Sometimes allowing a little more depth through the root area and keeping the brightness through the mid lengths and ends creates a far more expensive looking blonde.

Next time you visit your hairdresser, don't just ask for more blonde. Ask whether adding a little more contrast could make your blonde look brighter, healthier and more youthful.
