So after umming and ahhing about whether to actually get my hair cut or not, I eventually did, thanks to Steven and Laurent Hairdressers in Bideford! After coming in and being made to feel so welcome, Cameron started to crack on with my hair. We decided on cutting it quite a bit shorter (Which I haven’t had done since I was about 10!) and giving it a freehand balayage to add some lighter blonde tones in.
On my way to the colour room I was offered a complimentary drink, and to my surprise when my orange juice came, a little selection of snacks came with it too. Now bearing in mind I love olives, I was very happy. Cameron and I had a lovely natter whilst he was doing my hair which was great, and added to the whole experience. The colour he used was from L’oreal, and we left it to develop for about 35 minutes before heading to the wash room.
In the wash room, Cameron rinsed my hair, then washed it with the Angel Wash shampoo from Kevin Murphy. He then put a toner on my hair to help protect the colouring he had done. After letting that to sit for 5 minutes and rinsing that off, he added the Blonde Angel conditioner, let that sit for 5 and then rinsed that off too. As I’m sure anyone who has had their hair washed in a salon will know, it feels just like a nicer head massage - you might as well go just for that!
Cameron had cut off about 4 inches before colouring it because it wasn’t worth colouring that bit too, and so when we went up to the cutting and styling room, and after drying my hair (which now takes so much quicker), he went to work cutting my hair even more. It’s now much shorter with layers and all in all, about 8 inches of hair was cut off! He loosely curled my hair to add some waves and it looked perfect!
I must say, I couldn’t be happier with my hair at the moment, and although it was such a drastic change, I’m so happy I did it and went to Steven and Laurent. If you’re looking to get your hair done, and live in the North Devon region, I strongly recommend you book an appointment, no matter what age you are or how you want your hair done! You can even say hi to their two adorable little dogs too! I’ve got the shampoo, conditioner and Hair Resort Texturising Lotion from Kevin Murphy too now, so i’ll be using those to keep my hair in tact!
