PEDAL TO THE METAL L’ORÉAL PROFESSiONNEL’S METAL DETOX RANGE iS THE BREAKTHROUGH iN-SALON TREATMENT.
Even the cleanest, purest water that comes through a tap contains metal because of pipe erosion. However, wash after wash, copper can build up and accumulate inside the hair fibre which can make it more vulnerable to breakage during colour, balayage and lightening. When the excess copper meets the oxidant (the hydrogen peroxide that activates the dyes), there is an increase the risk of breakage. L’Oréal Professionnel has found a solution in a specific molecule: Glicoamine. Metal Detox is enriched with Glicoamine and neutralises excess copper in the hair. The result? A reliable colour that looks even, shiny and healthy-looking with up to 87% reduction in breakage.
THE BREAKTHROUGH IN-SALON TREATMENT: L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Pre-Treatment The first step is to neutralise excess copper in the hair in salon before colour is applied. The L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Pre-Treatment is sprayed onto dry hair and by the time the stylist has prepped the colour, the hair will have air dried. Once the hair has been coloured, the cleansing cream shampoo cleanses the hair fibres to gently remove the excess copper and colour, thus ensuring the colour’s clarity.
THE AT HOME CARE COLLECTION: L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Shampoo and Masque Following the in-salon treatment, clients can maintain care at home by using the shampoo along with the anti-deposit protector mask to continue protecting the hair during washes. This is especially important because after technical services the hair fibre is even more porous. Both products have a delicate citrusy scent with a woody base note. Developed exclusively by the nose Frederique Terranova, it ensures a sensory experience every time the products are used – and voila! For clients looking for ways to keep their hair in good condition and for professionals who don’t want to see their colour services compromised, Metal Detox is set to be a gamechanger in the colour category.

SHOW OF STRENGTH
Goldwell’s new intensive professional regime provides instant strength and resilience for weak, fragile hair that is prone to breakage.
Offering a full range of technologically-advanced hair formulas suitable for all hair types, it instantly reinforces and restructures hair from roots to ends achieving strong, more resilient and beautiful hair. How does it work: An innovative Inter-Amino-Bond Builder fortifies hair from the inside out. Peptides and amino acids penetrate into the hair cortex, targeting the damaged areas. Compounds of red and brown algae extracts form ionic and hydrogen bonds, embedding these peptides in the inner cortex, making the hair fibre stronger and more resilient. At the same time, Goldwell’s proprietary MicroPROtec Complex distributes all of the essential ingredients quickly and evenly for results you can instantly see and feel.
THE STRONG LEADERS: ■ Fortifying Shampoo: Instantly delivers structure and care for weak fragile hair while its Goldwell exclusive FadeStopFormula minimises colour fading with every use. ■ Fortifying Conditioner: Immediately creates stronger hair with visibly less breakage while protecting against further mechanical damage when combing or brushing. ■ 60Sec Treatment: Instantly strengthens hair fibre by up to 100% in 60 seconds, to prevent breakage and split ends and seal the cuticle for smoothness, combability and protection - all without weighing down the hair. ■ Repair & Structure Spray: Smooths the hair’s surface and preps it for styling while providing long-lasting cuticle protection and resilience against day-to-day stressors, even on fine, fragile hair. ■ Day & Night Bond Booster: Instantly reduces breakage and split ends by up to 99% while imparting long-term strength and stability to each individual hair strand. This specific formula supports the Bond Protein network and provides the ultimate strengthening benefits with the highest concentration of the Inter-Amino-BondBuilder in the range.

Jack & the Wolfe Bringing a little bit of ‘London’ to the quaint quarter of Lymington in the New Forest, Jack & the Wolfe is the delightful salon owned by uber-cool couple Jack Mead and Lydia Wolfe.
How did you decide on the style of your salon interior? A lot of the salon concept was born from the location of the property and the age of the building. It was built in the 1700s and has a colourful history of smugglers tunnels running through the cellar and was the location of brothels for the passing sailors and traders from the Quay. We had visions of an ‘oldy-woldy’ hideaway like something out of Harry Potter but with an edge of contemporary quirkiness that comes with our own personal styles. Where did you find the inspiration for your design? So much of what inspired us was drawn from the building’s original features: Wonky walls and floors, narrow passageways, original beams and a large fireplace. Did you use an interior designer? We didn’t. I guess part of the fun of being creatives is being able to create your dream salon environment. However when we expanded we used an interior architect called Emma Edward, who helped us navigate planning permission and gave us good ideas on how to best utilise what could be quite an unpractical space.
Describe the vibe created by your interior? Cosy, calm and quirky: Our interior vibe is a marriage of luxury with eccentricity. Whilst the entrance and waiting area is very dark green, almost black, with low ceilings and pockets of lowlighting, our upstairs salon is bright white and greens with high ceilings. It creates different zones which in turn have their own vibes. What do you hope is your clients’ first impression when they walk in? Inviting and calm but still bursting with creativity. Our entrance is dark and cosy but your eye is drawn through to the bright and airy sun room studio at the back. We also have pink neon lights for a contemporary contrast.

What salon software do you use and what feature of it do you find most useful? Fresha and the online booking which clients find really easy to use and can be linked through our own app. What salon furniture have you chosen and why? Our salon furniture is the Insignia Texas range from Salon Supplies. We have the chairs and the basins which are a black Chesterfield style design which we thought went perfectly with our eclectic antique theme. They were affordable and comfortable and we’re really happy with them.
Do you have any curated pieces or special features/areas in the salon? On our first floor salon we have a mural of an 18th century oil painting. We’re based in the New Forest National Park and I loved that the painting depicts a treeline that brings together our surroundings inside the salon, plus the age of the painting is the same age as the building which I feel tied it together. Tell us what are the key elements of your salon design? To the rear of the ground floor of our salon we have a self-contained private studio complete with one chair and one basin. It has a beautiful view across our mature garden and caters for clients who desire more privacy for services such as hair replacements or those who are still nervous about proximity in a post-Covid world. How have you embraced sustainability within the design? The majority of our fittings and furniture including mirrors, stations, storage and artwork are upcycled or antique. This started off out of necessity where we wanted to create a luxurious space on a super tight budget - we literally could not afford to buy anything except our basins new, but we love our upcycled
elements so much that it became a key feature of the overall salon design. Every mirror is unique because they were all sourced individually second hand and the stations are made from the ends of antique dining tables that we sourced on Facebook Marketplace and were given a new lease of life by securing them with antique brass brackets to the walls. Each is unique.
Did your product brand/colour house influence your style of interior design? We use Goldwell colour which comes in canisters instead of tubes. With our colour bar area we designed built-in storage for our canister racks which are a real feature. The way the cans are all lined up is so satisfying and that has become a talking point in itself.
Do you have dress code/uniform for your team? Our dress code is smart/casual in any colour. We want the team to be able to express their individuality and we’re also passionate about looking smart. We have an affluent clientele and want to be esteemed as a luxury yet creative environment. I think our team’s look is a great representation of our vibe.
