As well as turning our salons pink, we’ll be wearing pink and encouraging visiting clients to put on their best pink outfits!  The aim is to raise money for Breast Cancer Now to make life-saving research happen.

This is one of the biggest fundraising events in the UK when thousands of amazing people will wear it pink in their communities, schools or work places for the UK’s largest breast cancer charity.

And since the first event in 2002, Breast Cancer Now has raised over £31.5 million for life-saving research. Research that’s working to discover how to prevent breast cancer, how to detect it earlier and how to treat it effectively at every stage so we can stop the disease taking lives.

Check out some of these photos from last year’s Wear It Pink Day and come along to enjoy our cake sale, making a donation to help this worthy cause, and support our stylists.  Thank you!

Your Hair Problems Solved!

Solve Your Hair Problems – Top Tips from the Hair Experts at Fox Hair Design Salons in Barwell & Hinckley

Banish bad hair days by talking to the hair experts at Fox Hair Design salons in Barwell and Hinckley.  If you’ve been trying to grow healthy, shiny, beautiful hair without success, it’s time to seek help!  Here we answer some of the most common hair problems, but if you really want to see great results, book in for a consultation with one of our stylists today.   

Say Goodbye To Dull Hair

If you live in an area with a hard water supply, you may notice that your hair is beginning to dull.  The minerals in hard water areas attach to your hair when you wash which can leave your locks looking dull.  If you want shiny hair, please talk to your Fox Hair Salon stylist who can recommend a shampoo and conditioner which will improve your hair’s lustre by removing these hard water particles.

There are multiple reasons you may be experiencing split ends, including over-processing your hair, over-heating or just being too rough with your hairstyling.  Damaged hair never looks great and can be difficult to style, so keep the use of harsh brushing and heated styling appliances to a minimum and avoid hair accessories that are likely to pull and break your hair.  Invest in a hair cut at your local Fox Hair Design salon in Barwell or Hinckley and ask us about our hair conditioning treatments like Protection Cheveux Complexe.

Around 40% of women experience thinning hair or hair loss at some stage in their life.  Hair loss can be caused by multiple factors including hormone changes, side-effects to some medications and conditions, stress and causing continued damage to your hair.  It’s important to take good care of your scalp as well as your hair if you want to improve the thickness of your hair.  To determine whether hormones or a medical condition are causing your hair issues, please see your GP.

hair smoothing treatments, best hair salons in barwell and hinckley, leicestershireFight Frizz With A Hair Smoothing Treatment 

Curly hair is drier than straight hair so if your hair has become frizzy, it may be dehydrated which means the hair’s cuticles are unable to lie flat.  This allows moisture to pass deep into your hair, causing the strands to swell, making it look frizzy. 

Fight frizzy hair with a Brazilian Keratin Infusion Blow Dry service which will eliminate frizz and reduce curl for up to 12 weeks. Our hair smoothing treatment will improve your hair’s condition and add shine.  It is effective on all hair types too!  Find out more about our hair smoothing treatments in Leicestershire.

hair colour at Fox Hair Design Salons, Barwell, Hinckley, Leicestershire

Not sure which hair colour will suit you?  When it comes to choosing your hair colour you can rely on the colour experts at Fox Hair Design salons in Barwell and Hinckley who can find the perfect shade for you.

Your first step is to book in for a complimentary hair colour consultation.  Our stylists and colour technicians like to establish a relationship with their clients, allowing us to discuss the various hair colours you like and which hair colours will suit you.  We will also discuss the hair colouring application methods we use to achieve your desired hair colour.

Our hair colouring process is uniquely tailored to you, taking into account your lifestyle and personality, ensuring that you have the best overall hair colour experience possible.

During your consultation we will look at:

  • your complexion and which hair colour will suit your skin tone?  The correct hair colour will complement your skin tone and make it appear even more radiant, while the wrong colour might make your skin look dull and washed out.
  • hair shades that enhance your eye colour.  The right hair colour can really intensify your eye colour.  We might even choose a contrasting colour to make your eyes look brighter and more beautiful.  So if you have green eyes, we might suggest a soft red hair colour.   Blue eyed guests might look fabulous with a caramel or golden blonde shade.
  • your personal style.  What affect do you want to have with your new hair colour?  Do you want to stand out from the crowd or blend in?  Together we can help you find a beautiful hair colour that you are comfortable with and LOVE!
  • the different colouring techniques available.  We offer a wide range of hair colouring options from low-maintenance balayage to higher-maintenance all-over hair colour. We can discuss a maintenance plan for you hair and will, of course, also explain any time and cost implications when it comes to maintaining your fab new hair colour.

Natural Looking Hair Colour

The Trend for Natural-Looking Hair Colours at Fox Hair Design Salons in Barwell & Hinckley

Anyone who is nervous to take that step towards colouring their hair will love the new trend for natural-looking hair colours. Sadly, very few of us are blessed with beautiful hair colour so the 2019 trend for balayage, warm brunette lowlights and golden blonde highlights might just be what you need to pep up your hair!

Remember though, if you are new to hair colour or have not had your hair coloured at Fox Hair Design Salons in the past six months or more, it is essential you book in for a quick skin test 48 hours prior to your colour appointment.

golden blonde hair shades, fox hair design salons, barwell and hinckleyWarm Blonde Hair Shades – Golden Highlights

What do we mean by warm blonde? This is when we veer towards golden tones, honey hues, buttery blondes and caramel blonde colours. 

If you love hair that looks sun-kissed and a bit surfer chick, then ask your colourist to weave some warm blonde highlights through your hair. 

Jennifer Lopez and Gisele Bundchen get this look spot on!

bronde balayage, fox hair design salons, leicestershireBronde Balayage Hair Colours

If you mix blonde and brunette together, what do you get?  Bronde! 

This shade merges warm brunette shades with golden blonde which can be added as highlights or using the hand-painted balayage technique. 

Balayage is where vertical strips of colour are painted onto the hair to accentuate your hairstyle and features – basically we add the golden bits where it is going to look most stunning when the sun picks it out!

Natural ombre hair colours, fox hair design salons, barwell hinckleyNatural Ombré Hair Shades

Soft and natural ombré is big news this season! 

The ombré technique is when we gradually make your hair lighter from the mid-lengths to the ends… and this looks beautiful when you choose a mixture of dark and light blonde shades. 

As with balayage, ombré  is a low maintenance hair colour which makes it ideal if you are new to colouring your hair.  You can leave longer between visits to your local hairdressers as there will be no noticeable root growth… but we highly recommend you return every eight weeks for a toner to refresh your gorgeous blonde ends.

brunette with red tones, fox hair salons, barwell and hinckleyBrunette & Bronze Hair Colours 

Give your brunette a subtle bronzed effect by adding some slightly red-toned highlights throughout. 

Highlights can be as fine or as chunky as you wish so make sure you talk to your colour specialist about the look you desire. 

If you want your highlights to be obvious, then ask for thicker weaves of red shades throughout your hair. 

For those who want a subtle red hue that gives your hair a much-needed lift, then ask for fine highlights.
