Just when we thought we’d seen it all, a pandemic arrives and ignites a whole new way of life and strife for hair lovers. Desperate, daring and just plain dopey, learn and laugh at some of these new ways to cut, colour and communicate … Karen, put the box dye down.

- The Husband Turned Hairdresser
Hubby might be great at cooking, cleaning and doing his work thing but he’s no hairdresser honey. One of our gorgeous clients hit a little moment of mayhem when her wedding was postponed recently, thrusting a pair of kitchen scissors in her husband’s hands and demanding his best ‘Helen Hunt in Twister’ cut … the twister arrived shortly after, and he was the eye of the storm.
2. The Masked Creators
We love our clients, we truly do. But between the catchups and colour work, there’s a whole, other world of communication going on. How else do you think that darling apprentice arrives at just the right moment to guide you to the basin – your stylist ready and waiting right as you’re done? It’s an artform and we’re proud of it, but now we’re masked, it’s not so easy. So, we’ve taken to blinking. When we would usually mouth something like ‘TUNE’ when a classic track hits, or ‘5 MINUTES’ (until the the next stage of your salon journey,) we blink – really, really hard. You thought we had something in our eye, didn’t you?
3. The Blonde to Brunette Blunder
Even the most die-hard brunette flirts with the idea of blonde at one stage or another. That’s why we’re so good at those seamless dark to light transformations – we’ve done a few in our time. Of course, they take time, treatment and a considerable investment to get right … so why go and screw it up now? Ladies, we’re all bored (and drinking by 3pm), but it’s no excuse to use your daily hour of freedom to hit the chemist and buy the first brown box dye you see. Do us a favour. On your way home, head past the household SULO bin and stare at it. See that green, binny colour? Hope you like it, because that’s your next colour. Leave it to the professionals.
4. Experiment (safely)
No, we’re not talking dirty. While we strongly discourage any permanent colour home jobs (in fact we prohibit you), our friends at evo have the perfect (temporary) colour cocktail for our experimental blondies come Friday night. Rokk Ebony Colour Director, Emily Kate suggests mixing evo Fabuloso Platinum (about a 50cent piece) with a hit of copper (5cent piece) and dot of mahogany for a wash of mink pink and welcome holiday from yourself. Products available online at Bellezza.
