From the
chair.
Older notes from the journal. Same chair, earlier conversations.
When a trim stops being enough: a hair restyle in Glasgow.
There's a moment at the bowl when a client says it without quite saying it. A colourist on the difference between a trim and a real restyle.
A history of balayage, from a Paris salon in the 1970s.
From Carita in 1970s Paris to a Glasgow chair fifty years on. A short history of the freehand sweep, the cotton-board era, and what survived the trend.
Ash blonde vs warm blonde: a colourist's read at the bowl.
Every search result on this question hands back a quiz. At the chair, the answer comes from the wrist, the daylight, and the pigment already in the hair.
Balayage maintenance: why brass shows, and what a gloss puts back.
The brass is not new pigment. It is the warm bed surfacing as the toner washes out. A gloss appointment, timed right, puts the cool counterweight back where it belongs.
Why Blonde Hair Goes Brassy, and What the Toner Does.
Most blogs end at purple shampoo. We start at what the bleach actually exposed, and what the toner is doing on top of it.
Layers for Fine Hair: When They Help and When They Do Not.
The blanket advice says layers add volume to fine hair. From the chair, it's more often the opposite, and the difference is in the density.
What a hair gloss treatment does that colour alone cannot.
The colourist's note on the last decision at the bowl. What a gloss adds, what a toner does, and where each one earns its keep after a balayage.
Chain Keeps You Moving. The Independent Glasgow Hair Salon Does Not..
The chain optimises for throughput; we run a single chair, by appointment. A note on why that structure changes everything, from the consultation to the finish.
Endz on Paisley Road West: A South Side Glasgow Hairdresser.
A pillar note on the south-side Glasgow salon: the address on Paisley Road West, the colourist's twenty-eight years, the work in the room, and where we sit on the map.
