Leanne Clarke Hair Haus- A day in the life of!!!

Hi everyone Leanne here again it's been a while ha!
Since my last blog we have had a busy time in the salon over the christmas period, over christmas we're always busy doing put ups for parties with curls being very popular which we create with the straightners. Other popular put ups include funky barrell curled mohicans and for the more formal parties, ladies were opting for the classic french pleats which is coming in for spring/ summer.

Another thing i found very popular over christmas time was the more warmer colours being asked for by clients like the reds, coppers and blondes, these colours go really well in dark or light hair and can be put in block colours for more funky styles or weaved highlights for a more natural look.

During December every client that comes into our salon recieve a christmas card which has vouchers with money off in January or Febuary, this encourages them to come back in the salon for a cut, colour or both which is what we all need in these hard times and also keeps us busy.

I have enjoyed being more of a stylist with my own coloumn this xmas and found it very exciting when i was busy all day and was getting a little flustered at the amount of people i had in at one time.

Another thing i have enjoyed was the different styles i would get in one day, one minute your cutting a cute little pixy cut and the next a long layered cut, which to me is what keeps hairdressing exciting.

Into January the salon gets a little quieter which gives us a little break and we can start preparing for the new year ahead. We always discuss with Mark the manager what courses we would benefit from in the year, and start thinkingabout which competitons we are going to enter, for me maybe the BL photographic competition?

Talking of BL i have been back to college to carry on with my level 3, which i do every other Monday morning theory at college, then back to the salon for practical and assesments on our models in the afternoon.

This time of the year gives us a chance to chill out a little but it wont last for long!!!!!!!

Thanks again for reading my blog hope it gives you an insight into a normal day as a hairdresser
