Spring Summer Hair Trends 2021

16 May 2021/in News, Your Hair/by The Royston Blythe Team

So, you’re thinking of celebrating our new found freedom with a fabulous new hairstyle or hair colour so that you can return to the ‘new normal’ with a brand new statement style? You’re not the only one and there’s no-one better to advise you on the latest spring summer hair trends for 2021 than Wolverhampton’s very own multi-award-winning, Midlands Hairdresser Of The Year, Nick Malenko.

Below, Nick shares his four statement looks for Spring Summer 2021!

Summer Trends

FACE-FRAMING FRINGES

The post-lockdown haircut is the ultimate 2021 beauty move, offering a hard reset after a year of overgrown bobs, faded colours, ponytails and loungewear. The fastest, most dramatic, youthifying change comes with a fringe and whether blunt and brow-grazing or light and layered, there’s bound to be one that appeals to you and complements your face shape. At Royston Blythe, we’re big fans of wide-cut fringes to really expose cheekbones as well as those choppier, more relaxed cut variations that are easier to manage at home. We love a tousled texture, brow-skimming fringe teamed with a subtle ombre colour for a summer signature statement style.

INVISIBLE LAYERS

Layers are back and you can rest assured that they have come such a long way: gone are the days when your stylist cut in layers to add a bit of body or make hair seem thicker. This season is all about invisible layers that are cut around the face, or throughout the lengths of longer hair to encourage that oh-so-desirable bouncy movement that we’re all craving as we enjoy the luxury of being back in the chair of our favourite hairdresser. Invisible Layers are a way of tapering or thinning out the ends, so when the hair falls on top of another piece of hair (in a layer), it falls almost invisibly, removing visibility of the ‘layered line’. An invisible layer is also perfect for clients with fine hair if they are after that summery, floaty, Parisian look.

Summer Trends

STATEMENT BLONDES

Lightening and brightening is the key to maximising your hair potential during summer months particularly and this season is all about subtle & sun-kissed tousled hues! Regardless of if you are dreaming of ravishing golden locks, clean platinum or a subtle honey blonde, you need to find a tone to suit your complexion and personality ! One of our favourite techniques for 2021 is Blonde Foilayage: this is the ultimate blonde balayage effect and creates cleaner, cooler blonde highlights that still have a relaxed sun-kissed feel. Choose to have more of the foilayage around your face so you gain maximum impact and transformation. It’s important to remember that the perfect seamless blonde needs you to commit to regular visits to the salon for toners as well as investing in a prescribed home care plan. We love our impressive range of professional lightening products by market leaders L’oreal Professional.

BEAUTIFUL BRONDES

Brondes are taking the forefront for those who are reluctant to commit to being brunette or blonde. Bronde is the colour technique that fuses brown and blonde to create a flattering, sun-kissed hair colour result…..if you still need some convincing, head over to the Insta account of Queen Of Brondes Jennifer Lopez for some inspiration! Brondes give added depth and dimension to blondes, and lift and illuminate brown hair. Think coppers and honeys that sit in the middle, warming up all hair colour palettes with a rich and youthful appeal. Brondes are fabulously flattering to the complexion and will work on just about all hair colours and types.

Dreaming of fabulous hair this Christmas?

28 October 2020/in News, Your Hair/by The Royston Blythe Team

We all know that there are few things as transformational as a stunning new haircut and your hair really can revolutionise the way you look and feel about yourself! So, we thought it was time to catch up with Royston Blythe’s Nick Malenko to get his expert advice!

Royston Blythe

Is there really a secret to thick, glossy, healthy hair or is it more about the genes you inherited and the food you eat?

We have loads of first-time clients that visit us at the salons and they come in search of healthy, glossy, shiny, manageable and thick hair. When we explain the treatment options available, our new-time clients are always delighted to discover that there are brilliant and instant anti-aging, feature-enhancing hair treatments that will help them achieve the hair of their dreams and sometimes in a single appointment.

Nick then reminds us that Royston Blythe salons are now open on Sundays so if we fancy visiting while the salon is calmer and the vibe is more chilled we now have the perfect opportunity!

So, what are the treatments we need to get on our pre-Christmas party radars?

The Hair Talk Volumising Experience

A bespoke service that ensures beautiful, natural, healthy looking hair that is full of body and vitality. The service lasts less than one hour and is completely tailored to the needs of each individual.

Hair Talk Tape In Hair Extensions are carefully placed to emphasise a hairstyle and conceal any fine or thinning areas. Whether a guest would like a full head of long, voluminous hair or we are using them to thicken a particular section, the results are incredible and the new hair is exceptionally easy to manage and maintain when away from the salon. The quality of Hair Talk Hair is fantastic and as long as they are well looked after in between salon visits, they can last anything from 4 to 8 months. Clients simply have to revisit every 6 to 8 weeks to have their extensions retaped.

Good To Know: These hair extensions are endorsed by leading trichologists as they cause absolutely no damage to the hair.

The KeraStraight De Frizz Treatment

Female model with short blonde hair.

Throwing words like ‘life-changing’ and ‘obsessed’ can seem a little crazy when you’re talking about a hair treatment! However, for those who struggle with untameable and frizzy manes, the application of a KeraStraight Smoothing Treatment really will save hours each week blow drying and styling as well as giving your hair an intensive conditioning overhaul. A KeraStraight temporary smoothing treatment will leave hair fuzz-free, silky and humidity-proof for up to 4 months.

Good To Know: KeraStraight is a smoothing treatment not a straightening treatment and your natural wave will remain.

The Bespoke Colour Service

Female model with long red hair.

There’s perhaps nothing more flattering that a bespoke hair colour that has been tailored to suit your individual skin tone and eye colour.. Our colour specialists will use clever colour placement and a fusion of carefully selected hues to enhance your skin tone and your hairstyle. Lightening and brightening around the face, colour contouring and adding tones that enhance your complexion will all combine to completely transform your look.

Good To Know: the perfect colour is the one that looks good on you.

The Miracle Hair Treatment

Female model with short brown hair.

If you have coloured hair and love it to look healthy, glossy and full of vitality, there is one buzzword that you need to remember: OLAPLEX.

Olaplex is something of a miracle worker for dehydrated and damaged hair and is especially relevant for those who love to lighten up.

Good To Know: When you have any colour at Royston Blythe you can opt to add this to your service and it will strengthen your hair from within during processing.

One last think…Christmas is on the way and treating friends with luxury hair gifts is always a winner! What do you recommend?

This year more than ever I think that gift vouchers are a great present! Your friends and family can then choose whether they spend them on a hair appointment or whether they treat themselves to something from our collection of specialist hair products! Kerastase Gift Sets are always well received and we have something special for every hair type!

The festive season is all about giving, so why not give that someone special a real treat this year? Contact the salon today.

Sunday Vibes At Royston Blythe – what to expect!

4 October 2020/in News, Royston Blythe News/by The Royston Blythe Team

Lots of laughter, fun and fabulous hair are standard at Royston Blythe but we also recognise that we have clients who may prefer to escape into a haven of calm and relaxation!

Perhaps you’re loving the idea of a fabulous excuse to relax, escape and enjoy some much needed Sunday pampering; or you’re a busy working Mum with limited ‘me-time’ and Sundays are your only opportunity to visit; or you’re slightly apprehensive about visiting the salon when we are busy. Whatever your reason for enjoying relaxing Sunday vibes at Royston Blythe, we’re looking forward to welcoming you.

Here’s what our Sunday guests have said about their visits:

I’M CONVERTED! SUNDAY VIBES ARE THE BEST!

‘I’m converted! Sunday Vibes at Royston Blythe are THE BEST! I’ve been a regular at your amazing Wolverhampton hair salon for years and I honestly couldn’t imagine life without you guys but if i’m honest with 2 kids and a crazy business to run, there are times when I struggle to make it to the salon. Delighted when I heard you were opening on a Sunday! I get to escape my crazy house (husband looks after the kids) and I spend a few hours being pampered in a relaxing, luxury environment and leave with beautiful hair! What a wonderful way to spend my Sunday!’ ~ Nicole

I MISSED YOU!

‘ I missed my visits to Royston Blythe so much during lockdown and especially the cheeky giggles we have when I come in. I’ve been extremely nervous about going out and other than shopping I haven’t really left the house for such a long time. It was such a relief to hear that you were opening on Sundays at a reduced capacity and it made me pluck up the courage to come in. I have visited a couple of times now and it’s wonderful to be back – not only have I left feeling and looking like my old self, I’ve felt very safe and relaxed and enjoyed visiting when there is a calmer environment. Thank you for always taking such wonderful care of me’ ~ Lily

I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT VISITING THE SALON AFTER LOCKDOWN BUT I REALLY SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN!

I booked in on a Sunday at the Shrewsbury Salon as your lovely Laura explained how Sunday would be a perfect day for me – she knows I am vulnerable and explained that there are less staff in so that you can offer lots of social distancing and everything is that bit calmer. I loved my hair as always but I was also so impressed and reassured – everything was sanitized and so organised and very hygienic. I have no doubt that when I visit Royston Blythe, I really am in safe hands. ~ Noreen

SUNDAY BLOWOUTS ROYSTON STYLE

Well how blooming wonderful is it that I can now pop in for a Sunday blowdry and I can begin my week looking super-stylish! A dream come true that I walk into meetings on a Monday morning looking polished and glam! Thank you guys – you’re absolute darlings, i’m delighted with my super-glossy blowdry ! ~ Charlie

AT LAST! I FINALLY VISITED FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY AFTER YEARS OF WAITING!

I work 5 days a week and don’t have childcare on a Saturday but have been desperate to come in as i’ve heard so much about you! I’ve been stalking your work on insta but it was even more amazing than I expected. Such a lovely welcoming team and I absolutely love my new colour and gorgeous bob. I’ve booked my next Sunday appointment already. ~ Emma

Your Back To Business Style: the post covid hair-do’s that will make a statement in the boardroom

27 September 2020/in News, Product News, Uncategorized/by The Royston Blythe Team

Never underestimate the power of fabulous hair to create the ultimate first impression – neither should you forget that well-nourished, carefully styled and beautifully coloured hair may just tell a story about your impeccable standards, excellent taste, attention to detail and eye for style.

So, if you’re heading back to the boardroom, the staff room or your Zoom Meetings have become a little more official, a hair upgrade should give you a power-shot of confidence and send out those positive ‘hey-you-wanna-take-me-a-bit-more-seriously-now’ kind of vibes!

Over the years he’s styled the hair of countless female entrepreneurs, boardroom babes and international business women from all around the world so, there is no one better suited to guiding you on your Back To Business style than our one and only Royston!

The Short

Female model with short blonde hair.

Best Style:

Your perfect Pixie is the crop that suits your face shape. So many ladies are scared that a short hairstyle will not suit their face shape but if you visit an expert stylist then they will find a style to complement and enhance your features. At Royston Blythe we are masters of tailoring short hairstyles to suit each individual and then styling them to suit your personality and lifestyle.

Lunch Hour Pick Me Up:

Got a lunch date? You need to spritz your hair with xxx to give it a little revival.

Afterwork Get Together:

Don’t be fooled into thinking that it’s ok to go with that end-of-the-day look! You reapply your lippy right? Well you need to perfect your hair at the same time! A drizzle of Kerastase Elixir Ultime to smooth down strays and instantly give that gloss-effect is a must.

Your Back To Business Style: the post covid hair-do’s that will make a statement in the boardroom

Colour Combo:

2 options: go for global. Choose a seamless platinum or a deep, rich chocolate to make a statement. Alternatively soft babylights are a stunning way to keep your pixie crop ultra-feminine and flattering.

Inspiration:

It is all about using powerful colouring techniques and face shaping variations to ensure that each hairstyle is personalised to the features of our individual client

The Long

Female model with long red hair.

Best Style:

The secret to beautiful long hair is to keep it super-healthy and tailored to suit your face shape. We’re often asked by clients ‘am I too old for long hair?’. The answer is no – you’re never too old for fabulous long hair, it’s just extremely important that it is styled to suit you; your hair is in good condition and it’s combined with stunning colour that adds interest and amplifies beauty. Whether you opt for a short blunt fringe, balayage or soft sweeping layers, the stylists at Royston Blythe are committed to inspiring you with ways to transform your long locks without having to lose length.

Lunch Hour Pick Me Up:

SHINE on me! It’s simple….a drizzle of Elixir and a light brush to add vitality

Afterwork Get Together:

Pony Club! Forget the idea that ponies are for school girls – a well-groomed pony with a few little modifications to suit your face shape is an ultra-glam, totally weather-proof and super-stylish look that is quite simple to pull in the staff toilets!

Colour Combo:

Subtle balayage, highlights or lowlights are perfect and can be adapted to suit the season.

In Good Company: Kim K, J Lo, Kate Middleton, Megan Markle

The Midi

Female model with short brown hair.

Best Style:

Flattering on basically everyone, the shoulder length bob aka ‘the lob’ is a super-versatile, easy to manage hairstyle that can be worn seriously chic or oh-so-relaxed. We’re currently loving the asymmetrical shoulder-length bob with textured highlights woven through that has also been spotted on J Lo!

Lunch Hour Pick Me Up:

With regular trims and excellent home care, the Lob should be a ridiculously low maintenance hairstyle. Lunch time pick me ups are as simple as a quick brush and a spritz of shine spray!

Afterwork Get Together:

Want to glam it up? Pop your irons or wand into your bag and after spritzing with a dash of heat protector spray, simply and loosely wrap your hair around the iron and create soft, gentle waves that sweep away from the face. For a little oomph….a slight reposition of the parting, a light back comb from the crown and a mist of hairspray!

Colour Combo:

Root stretch, Global Colour, Balayage, Highlights, Babylights – seriously the lob is the perfect cut for any of these colour techniques. Need some inspiration? Take a look at this interview with our Royston Blythe Colour Specialists.

The Extra Factor

The secret hair treatments that you colleagues may not tell you about!

We’re not tricking you – we have a selection of semi-permanent shine-enhancing, frizz-reducing and volume-boosting treatments that your inner work circle have probably forgotten to mention when you gush over their oh-so-perfect hair!

Hair Talk Volumising or Lengthening Treatments , Kerastraight Smoothing Treatments and Olaplex Condition Enhancing Treatments are all beautifying hair treatments with instant results that will ensure fabulous, effortless hair. Want to know more? Read here >>

The Miracle Worker For Coloured Hair: Olaplex

20 September 2020/in News, Product News, Your Hair/by The Royston Blythe Team

If you have coloured hair and love it to look healthy, glossy and full of vitality, there is one buzzword that you need to remember: OLAPLEX

Olaplex is something of a miracle worker for dehydrated and damaged hair and is especially relevant for those who love to lighten up! A breakthrough in hair care technology, Olaplex works by reconnecting broken disulphide sulphur bonds in the hair. In simple terms (yeh yeh, so we were just showing off!!), it works to protect and repair hair from the inside, rather on a surface level like most shampoos, conditioners and treatments would.

So, What Is Olaplex?

Olaplex is an intensive treatment that protects and repairs your hair and is usually mixed into hair colour, but can also be used before a blow-dry or during a cut & finish.

Inside our hair strands, a ladder-type network of ‘bonds’ exists that give the hair strength and form. These bonds get damaged and broken during chemical services (such as bleaching and colouring). Usually, 50-70% of these get rebonded after rinsing off your colour, but if you use Olaplex, 90-100% are rebonded; resulting in healthier and stronger hair!

How Exactly Is It Applied?

Olaplex is a three-part treatment; the first two will be done in our salon, and the third part you take home to use yourself.

Olaplex Step Number 1 and 2 will be applied by your colourist; they’ll mix the liquid-type no 1. substance into your colour bowl and then apply no.2 at the basin. If you’re having just a blow-dry service, or a cut & finish, your stylist will apply both the no.1 step followed by the no.2 step at the basin. There will be a 20 minute relaxation period where the treatment is left on the hair to work its magic before your hair is rinsed and blow dried by your stylist. Olaplex Step Number 3 (‘Hair Perfector’) is the take home service which you apply once a week. Apply to damp hair, comb through, and leave on for at least 10 minutes before shampooing and conditioning as normal. If you want to maximise the effect, KimK recommends leaving it on overnight!

Will I instantly notice a difference to my hair?

The effects are long lasting but yes your hair will feel sleeker and more manageable after colouring than it normally would. Your hair will gradually begin to feel stronger but as the treatment works internally during your colour processing, you should expect it to take a few repeat treatments before you notice a significant physical difference on the outside. Many clients do report that their hair feels stronger from their very first application. Olaplex also smoothes the hair, so it will immediately look sleeker, shinier and full of vitality.

Should I be asking for OLAPLEX when I visit Royston Blythe hair salon for a colour service?

Whatever your hair texture, OLAPLEX will work for you. It is beneficial for everyone who chemically treats their hair. Whether your hair is thick, dry, dull, volume-less, damaged, slightly damaged, beautifully healthy or absolutely in need of repair, Olaplex works! For curly, thick and fine hair – it will help reduce frizz, dullness, and even make curls more defined and luscious.

I’m a brunette. Do I need to bother with OLAPLEX?

Whilst OLAPLEX is a gamechanger for brunettes who want to go blonde (it allows hair to be lightened quicker and less aggressively), it is also a must for all brunettes as it promotes healthy, shiny glossy hair.

How do I book my OLAPLEX treatment and how much is it?

Please request a treatment at the time of booking your colour appointment with the Royston Blythe reception teams at either our Shrewsbury or Wolverhampton hair salons. The treatment costs £25

#stylistinthespotlight Joe

16 September 2020/in News, Royston Blythe News/by The Royston Blythe Team

Homegrown, in-demand and a much-loved member of the Royston Blythe family, Joe joined us as a school leaver and was given the opportunity to work as Nick’s assistant during an intense 3 year training programme.

With a noticeable natural talent and an infectious passion for hairdressing, after qualifying Joe developed his reputation and now has a loyal following of clients. He’s expertly trained in Hair Extensions, is a talented men’s stylist, a total an inspiration with long hair and this week he’s our #StylistintheSpotlight

When Joe was announced as coming 3rd place in the prestigious and most respected British Men’s Hairdressing Competition ‘The American Crew All Stars’ it just confirmed what a fabulous men’s hairdressing skills and eye for men’s style Joe has developed. So we think it’s about time we talk all things men’s hair and steal some top men’s styling tips from Joe!

What are your signature Men’s hairstyles?

Softer more natural hair styles with a modern twist are a favourite of mine! Currently trends are really embracing those natural curls and waves and this works well with my style as I love to go for a more laid back approach to Men’s hair! I take influence from those iconic traditional looks but add my own modern flex of barbering.

Q/. The look you love right now?

Tight fades with a mixture of a strong and natural texture and is a really cool, polished yet softer look.

Q/. The best products for guys to use to create your looks?

Styling products for men are sometimes overlooked, however nowadays men really do have just as much of a selection as the ladies, which I think is great! Depending on the style I find salt/textures spray have become very popular! Your trusty waxes and clays are still a top favourite too! Texture dusts have also become a top contender for men’s styling – they allow you to enjoy texture and structure without committing to a wax or a clay.

If you would like to book your next appointment at our Wolverhampton hair salon with Joe, please contact our reception team today.

Lighten Up After Lockdown | Hair Colour Trends

13 September 2020/in News, Your Hair/by The Royston Blythe Team

Transitioning into Autumn after the most bizarre Spring & Summer, we certainly feel like it’s time to lighten up after lockdown!

The verdicts out on whether blondes have more fun (well…….whether Royston was copper, dark or blonde he’d still have more fun!) but one thing is for sure, if your hair looks good and your complexion is boosted, it will give you a powershot of confidence!

So is lightning up as the seasons shift really the way to go? Well why wouldn’t you? We all love to switch up our look now and again and whether you’re dark, red or blonde, adding a few lighter tones will certainly add interest to your hair! If you’ve sought the expertise of a true colour professional, we can enhance your skin tone and features at the same time!

Quizzing the Royston Blythe team of colourists on the lightening forecasts for the season ahead we discovered key influences and tips to share with you! When L’oreal awarded our Colour Specialists a Colour Degree, they acknowledged that Royston Blythe are home to some of the UK’s most Elite Colourists…..so if you’re looking for some advice then take note….

Root Stretching…

This season it’s all about that ‘i-just-naturally-look-like-this’ vibe! Root Stretching is a tried and tested technique that we love to use particularly with blondes – it has a low-key and low maintenance feel were we blend the darker colour from the root into the mid lengths and ends. The tones & shades used can be bespokely designed to make sure they really compliment your skin tone.

TIP: don’t ever be fooled into thinking that the root stretch is a lazy-girls, non-commitment option! If you want your hair to look good (well that’s why you visit us!) then this colour needs to look seamless and beautifully toned. Blonde hair requires a commitment to home care (blonde shampoos & conditioners & treatments) and regular visits for trims and toners.

Blonde Balayage….

There’s something special about a balayage & smudging combo! This works brilliantly for those that love that slightly dreamy deluxe-boho vibe! Think naturally soft, radiant and beautiful hair that is never overdone or brassy. Balayage works beautifully on all hair colours to give that subtle sun-kissed effect that we’re all still dreaming about.

TIP: strengthening treatments are a must as you need soft, healthy and glossy hair for any luxury effect.

Oh Honey…..

By blending dark and golden-toned blonde onto light brown hair we can create a super-flattering and truly beautiful warm finish that will compliment your complexion whatever the tone.

TIP: Thanks to its depth, this works well with highlights, balayage, ombre and full head colour

Nordic White

Think seamlessly blended cool, icey tones edging towards an ethereal finish! This all over cool platinum is a high impact look that will transform short pixies and blunt jaw-grazing bobs.

TIP: Whatever your length (special warning for those with super-long locks) this is a colour journey that requires regular salon visits, lots of commitment to treatments and specialist shampoos and conditioners. Kerastase Blond Absolu provides deep ultraviolet care for lightened or highlighted hair.

Caramel Mocha…..

If you’re a glossy chocolate lover then just a subtle dash of lightning may be perfect for you to add interest and dimension to your look without switching too far away from your rich, signature chocolate tones.

TIP: Kerastase Elixir Ultime is highly recommended for any girl who loves shiny, glossy locks!
