From balayage to men’s perms, find out what’s hot at Mane Street.
The most popular service at Mane Street for 2020 continues to be the Balayage* trend, a technique for highlighting hair in which the dye is applied in such a way as to create a graduated, sun kissed natural-looking effect.
During lockdown many of our clients ‘got used to having roots’ and decided they quite liked them, and so many have been opting for the balayage technique.
Considering balayage? Most people believe that balayage is just a grown-out look and therefore they will not need to visit the hairdressers so often, but like all good hair trends it actually needs maintaining more often than you think! Clients come to the salon to get their balayage refreshed almost as often as having highlights. This can include raising the balayage higher towards the roots as the hair grows out, having a root colour stretch, and/or brightening the ends with colour, bleach and toners. It is a commitment, but we think it’s worth the investment for fantastic looking hair.
At Mane Street we are also experiencing many clients deciding to go shorter. Mid length and shoulder length hair is really back in fashion now, with celebrities and influencers taking the chop. This is a great trend to keep those locks looking fresh as the hair will look much healthier with a good cut, really enhancing the colour without those tired looking ends. ... not only have we been cutting off those extra inches from lockdown but many have gone a bit further.
Lobs and Bobs are very much in fashion. Ditching the layers and opting for solid healthy looking hair.
Feeling fuzzy? Then you might want to try the ever popular Brazilian Keratin Blow-Dry. They are not for everyone, but if you are looking for a solution to tame your frizzy, unmanageable hair then this is the option for you. The service takes a couple of hours and can last for around 3-4 months. This treatment leaves your hair smooth and sleek without any extra styling.
We’re also finding that men seem to be taking more care about their hair than ever before, and we’re seeing a much greater variety of long and short styles being requested including men’s colour, highlights and perms which we love.
Lastly our favourite friend and trend, the hair extension - this never seems to go out of fashion! They are a great way to add volume and length to your hair. Our specialists at Mane Street offer a selection of Raccon Extensions and expert advise as to which bond type is best for you.
So if you like the sound of any of the above why don’t you chat to one of our experienced stylists to talk through the right treatment and style for you.
See you soon!
