Returning to the salon after the festive season always brings its challenges, especially for your client’s colour. Clients want a quick-fix for the dehydration and damage caused by the summer sun. However, it's essential that every client's hair is given TLC before colouring. All clients love extra care, and we also need to build business through the lean times. Glossing, blending, and creative toning are therefore perfect services to delight your clients while building your business. Make sure your client books ahead and has the correct home care to restore her hair to its pre-holiday beauty.

Nuuran talks about making clients happy and the gents' trend she's doing in the salon. Q: Why hairdressing? When did the passion start? A: The passion started when I was a little girl, playing with my dolls. I would cut their hair and give hideous styles which looked amazing to me. I chose hairdressing because I like seeing clients leave happy. I learned barbering at the Partners Hair Design Training Academy. Q: What do you most love about your daily work? A: I love interacting with clients and meeting new people as well playing around with different colours and styles. Q: What do you most enjoy doing in-salon? A: I enjoy doing fashion colours and different techniques of applying and going through the process to see the amazing outcome. Q: Where do you see trends going as we move into autumn/winter? A: Vibrant colours - but mainly warm colours with more funky styles as the trends are changing. Q: What colour techniques are most popular among your clientele? A: Amongst our gent clients highlights and foils are popular, but mainly greys and silvers.
