As with most theatre companies - they were short of men, so, being an obliging sort of bloke I said I'd help him out ( I really didn't want to do it) and come wednesday morning i was awake from 5.30 worrying about it! I almost chucked the towel in and didnt go, you see I'm three rehersals behind and this lovely lot know how to dance! but I really enjoyed it and everyone was very kind and we had LOTS OF FUN! and I can't wait for my three rehearsal nights a week! Just goes to show that sometimes you have to push yourself and go through a bit of pain occasionaly to do something different in life! So come and see Jesus Christ Superstar in November at Exmouth, directed and choreographed by David youll and featuring me as a street dancing Apostle!

The Low Down on Morrocan Oil - you can believe the hype!

As the sometimes proud owner of incredibly fine, frizzy and unruly hair I have struggled with my hair all my life trying to keep my curls under control. I've used heated appliances , chemical straighteners, heavy conditioners, had it cut short, grown it long. Well - I have finally found THE MOST FANTASTIC haircare range for dry hair  - MORROCAN OIL!

We love it - but what is it? Morrocan oil is a perfect blend of Argan Oil and silicone, it is naturally rich in fatty acids, Vitamin E and Omega 6 which are super hydrating and conditioning. It doesn't matter how fine or thick your hair texture is or how damaged - this product improves shine, feel and ease of styling. It also prolongs the life of your colour because after colouring, if your hair is dry and dehydrated the colour molecules that are lodged in your hair can shrink and wash out causing fading, Morrocan Oil remedies this with its super hydration formula. We were one of the first salons in the UK to import this range of products from America where it's the fastest growing hair care product. As always we sell the range for the recommended retail price from the company.AND NOW FOR SOME MORROCAN OIL HAIR PORN!......... ( I just LOVE the look on her face!)

Beauty How To: Soft, Sexy Curls with Heated Rollers

Heated Rollers Forever!

We all love heated rollers at the salon, they offer a really beautiful long lasting curl for mid to long hair. Don't get me wrong we LOVE doing many different types of curls with our Black and Red Paul Mitchell straigteners but there"s a time and a place for everything and for a really glamorous Jessica Rabbit look in no time at all these are the Daddy!
As shown in the video you can now get sets with these cool clamps that make put them in and making them hold a doddle. We also prefer ceramic ones as they keep the heat in.
Using Heated Rollers can be a lot easier to do than making a curl with straighteners - which does take a bit of getting used to! you can also take big sections of hair, in fact big sections are best for this look! Make sure you use a heat protecter too like our Paul Mitchell Hot Off The Press as this protects form heat and frizz and has hold in it too - keep your rollers in for 30 minutes to an hour and get on with something else Hilda Ogden style x
