Cutting Room Creative - Leeds.

I mentioned in a previous post that I'd just had my hair cut, it was actually my first chop in a year (the last time I'd visited the hairdresser I'd gone for a shaved bit on one side) so I was slightly apprehensive as to how it would go down. I thought I'd do a small review on the salon because it's hard to find a good salon, and I really struggled to find somewhere when I first moved to Leeds. 

I booked in at Cutting Room Creative, a salon in the centre of Leeds, with a graduated stylist called Lucy (massive shout out to Lucy, she is lovely!). She confessed she was also growing out a shaved side of her hair, which instantly made me feel relaxed! I had an idea of how I wanted my hair (not much different, just neatened up and the dead ends chopped off) and Lucy set to work. 

I've taken a few pictures of the products that she used, I was lucky enough to be talked through each one and how to use them. Firstly, my hair was washed with Kerastase shampoo and conditioner (seriously have to get some of this, it's on my wishlist!) which made my hair so soft and manageable. I was off to Lovebox straight after my appointment so obviously I needed gorgeous, big hair. 

I asked Lucy for some tips on how to get volume in my hair, and she recommended Pli (pictured) from the L'oreal Professionnel Tecni Art range which is a "heat activated setting spray" to give massive amounts of volume. She also used the Air Fix firm hold spray (pictured) and the Hot Style Constructor (also pictured) which are all designed to give the hair volume and also set it in place without that horrible sticky or crunchy feeling that most products give. (NOTE: I've only given a small run down of the products as I don't own them, except Pli, and they were only used on me and not by me. For more information, click here) 

Luckily, my hair wasn't butchered and Lucy listened to me and only cut off what was required. She styled my hair perfectly, I didn't have the obligatory run home to the mirror to style it my own way!
