Look and feel fantastic this season with the best hair and beauty treatments at Royston Blythe Salons in Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton. Our expert team is highly trained in all the latest hair trends and techniques so that you can look your best this Spring.

We’ve created a list of the spring hair trends to inspire your next visit…

Please note: You will require a quick Allergy Alert Test 48 hours before your colour appointment.

Copper Hair Colour

Feel fabulous this Spring with a new hair cut or colour based on the latest hair trends. As the hair colour experts in Shrewsbury & Wolverhampton, we can spice up your hair colour and create stunning shades tailored to you. This includes the top hair trend at the moment – copper hair colour.

If a full head hair colour isn’t for you then try some beautiful copper highlights, a copper toned balayage, or even a copper money piece colour!

Keratin Hair Smoothing Treatment

If you have dry, damaged, frizzy hair, we have the solution at our Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton Salons. Through the Kerastraight Smoothing System, we can make your hair softer, smoother and shinier in one salon visit!

This treatment is also known as a Brazilian Blow Dry, and it provides keratin deep into the hair cuticle to improve condition, elasticity and texture. Our expert stylists will advise you on the best aftercare for your hair so that you can have straight, frizz-free hair for up to 4 months!

The Bixie Cut

When you take two individually fabulous things and mix them together, sometimes you can get something even better! That’s what’s happened with the bixie hairstyle – which is a combination of the classic bob and pixie cropped haircut.

This short hairstyle looks stunning when tousled with some mousse to give it some volume. Not sure what hair colour or hairstyle you would like next? Why not book an appointment with one of our expert stylists for a complimentary co

The ‘Money Piece’

Also known as the face framing highlights, money piece colour involve our expert colourists painting a lighter hair colour to frame your face. This is a flattering hair colouring technique which draws attention to your face.

Typically, the ‘money piece’ involves blonde face framing highlights. However, we can create this in any hair colour you would like – including fun fashion hair colours!

Often it is believed that just washing your hair is enough to keep it strong and healthy, yet this isn’t always the case. At Royston Blythe hairdressers in Wolverhampton & Shropshire, we can assess your hair and recommend the best hair treatments for your hair’s needs.

Rita’s Fabulous 30 Years at Royston Blythe!

14 December 2022/in Your Hair/by The Royston Blythe Team

Rita Celebrates 30 Fabulous Years at Royston Blythe Hair Salons Wolverhampton & Shrewsbury

Rita celebrates 30 fabulous years at royston blythe hair salons Wolverhampton & Shrewsbury

When the world of hairdressing is consistently changing, it is a breath of fresh air to visit a salon and see the same familiar friendly faces. These faces get to know you, and your families, and often close relationships are built.  The longstanding team at Royston Blythe hair salons in Wolverhampton & Shrewsbury have shared the highs and lows of their clients’ lives and become not just their hairdresser but also their friend.
Royston Blythe started with a team of three 32 years ago. Over the years they have grown a team of loyal and dedicated colleagues that have been instrumental in the success of the business. One very special team member is Rita Mason.  2022 sees Rita celebrating 30 fabulous! The Jackie Onassis and very much loved mother of the team is infamous for her chic style and charm.

Rita was Royston Blythe’s first Receptionist in 1992 and ran this incredibly busy salon single handed. She knows everyone in Wolverhampton! With her flair and elegance, clients regularly seek her fashion advice and tips. She is the fountain of all knowledge (including home interiors), life issues and manages to find positivity in every situation.

80 years young this year (would you believe it?!), Rita continues to be the essence of the salon and is still at the helm on the busiest days to welcome everyone and keep an eye on the smooth running of the salon. To celebrate this milestone, Nick, Royston and the team invited Rita, her gorgeous daughters and close friends to Sunday lunch and party afterwards. Nick’s heartfelt words ensured there was not a dry eye in the house! And Rita, true to form was the first one up on the dancefloor as soon as the singer started – and the last one to leave it!

We asked Rita, “What is your favourite memory from the last 30 years?”

“I thank my best friend Jackie for introducing me to Nick & Royston, she said “you will love working with these boys”, and she was right! I have never looked back. We have shared both the sad times and the good, but the lad’s generosity and kindness has always been at the heart of everything. It has never felt like work. With lovely clients to chat with I laugh every day and I hope the fun never ends”.
Nick and Royston say: “Rita is incredibly special to us. She has defended and supported us throughout the years and is a true and loyal friend. We share so many memories, funny ones, naughty ones and the characters we still miss over the years. We just want her to carry on forever! Our only regret was our lovely friend Jackie Taylor couldn`t be with us today (you were missed) to celebrate our Rita but we send her all our love”.

Royston Blythe is often described as a family. It is a unique salon. Ladies, whatever your age, whoever you are, you will always be made to feel welcome and leave feeling fabulous.

To book an appointment please call  01743 249 555 for our Shrewsbury Hair Salon or 01902 751 720 for our Wolverhampton Hair Salon.

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.

Ready to book your upgrade appointment and take some guidance from Nick’s predictions on Spring Summer Hair Trends?    Please call our reception teams at either  of our Shrewsbury or Wolverhampton hair salons who will be happy to help you.

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.

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.

Olapex: The Miracle Worker For Coloured Hair

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?

Olaplex Banner

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

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.

Female model with long blonde hair.

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.

Female model with medium brown hair.

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