Once again, I was introduced to another business while on Twitter. No it’s not a restaurant (surprise surprise). The Colour Lab is perfect for people like me. Women who need their hair coloured (err,,,my roots done), every 4 weeks and often have no time to make an appointment. Dyeing your roots is not a new concept but The Colour Lab uses new techniques, new technology and Goldwell products that are impressive. I can actually make the claim that my scalp didn’t have that “burning sensation”. The Colour Lab is so passionate about colour that this is all they do here.
Don’t get me started!!
I was immediately attracted to the fact that I didn’t need an appointment, the convenient location, and the fact that Goldwell products do not contain any harsh chemicals. (SCORE).
Better yet, I loved the space. Call me shallow – but this is important to me.
See what I mean?
There are only 4 chairs and in front of each chair is an iPAD. That’s right an iPAD. You won’t be reading magazines from 2005 at this salon! In the photo below you can see each iPad conveniently located in front of each chair. Brilliant.
Black and White. (and spotless)
I was so thrilled with the service and the colour, that I decided to try out Jean Charles Hair Salon for a much needed hair cut. I loved the fact that the Colour Lab and Jean Charles are owned by one family. Everyone is involved..the kids, and the parents. Pretty neat. I walked in looking like this (see photo below)
Way too much hair
Jean Charles did his magic with his scissors and before I knew it…Voila…a new look.
