A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of spending the day with balayage maestro Jack Howard to discuss just that, and to learn techniques he's been honing for years. To many, balayage has blown up in the last 5 years or so, and certainly it is becoming more and more popular, but it's actually been…

Back to basics

by adminSeptember 4, 2017

In a world of long hair and bouncy blowdries it's easy to forget the simple foundations we all learn in our training days.

Cutting edge catwalk hair comes to Boilerhouse

by adminMay 20, 2016
