HAIR AND BEAUTY THE ONE WITH A CATWALK EDGE
PHYLOSOPHIE
The hair salon owned by Miles and Sarah Rhodes opened in Bath less than two years ago and was followed by a second at The Gainsborough Bath Spa. What hair trends are you recommending this season? Natural roots with a perfect blend, getting progressively lighter towards the ends of the hair. Volume and organic texture are big catwalk trends, too. What’s new with you? We are looking into launching an ambitious start-up project, one which empowers talent and removes some of the barriers for creative entrepreneurs in the fields of hair and beauty, food, floristry and retail. What else? The furniture at Phylosophie is mainly mid-century antique which we feel complements the 400-year-old townhouse we occupy. 16 Northumberland Place, Bath; www.hairdressersinbath.co.uk
THE ONE WITH A CELEBRITY FOLLOWING
ARTIZAN, GEORGE STREET Husband and wife Matthew and Shelley Carr opened their hair salon in Bath 21 years ago.
What’s new with you? We’re about to open a second floor space. What new trends have surprised you this season? The return of the perm. We’re lucky to have a stylist who can perm as the demand for this recently has been 500 per cent up. Do you have a mantra? A hairstyle isn’t just about fashion; it must suit your face shape, your lifestyle and, most of all, your personality. Bath-based actor Anthony Head distracting the staff at Artizan George Street
THE ONE FOUNDED THREE DECADES AGO
ARTIZAN, BARTLETT STREET
Having been running in Bath for 30 years, the salon, run by Philip Thompson ( founder) and Zac Fennell (director), offers a unique space split over different levels. What’s Artizan’s go-to style? It’s editorial; we prefer hairstyles that are stylish and sassy but not obvious. What trends are popular for AW16? The shag – early 80s rock chick – it’s choppy with strong colours. Dispel a myth about haircare… ‘If you cut your hair off it grows back thicker’ – not true. What else… Artizan used to be Evans and Owens, a department store with four miles of tubing carrying vacuumed receipts around the building. That’s the reason the salon is so open plan. 5 Bartlett Street, Bath; www.artizan.co.uk
Share your best hair advice for the colder months… Limit hot showers as they can rob your hair of crucial moisture. Dispel a haircare myth… ‘Don’t pluck grey hairs or more will grow’ – this is not true. What’s your favourite aspect of your business? Our varied clientele. Our most famous client family is Anthony Head (actor), his wife Sarah Fisher (TV presenter) and their two actress daughters Daisy Head and Emily Head. We have our fair share of Olympians too. 8a George Street, Bath; www.artizanbath.co.uk
THE ONE WITH A SPECIALIST DOCTOR
THE ORANGERY LASER & BEAUTY CLINIC
24 years ago, Suzannah Chamberlain opened her independent business which specialises in clinical and medical treatments such as IPL hair reduction and injectables. What are your most popular treatments? Jan Marini peels, injectables by a specialist doctor, and skin rejuvenation techniques. What sets you apart? Longevity is a characteristic of the employees at The Orangery, our staff stay for a long time – the current staff length of service is six to 16 years. What else? We have peaceful treatment rooms in our lower level, reached through a courtyard garden. 2 Kingsmead Street, Bath; www.theorangerylaserandbeautybath.co.uk
THE ONE WITH SPECIALISED TREATMENTS
THE DUCHESS
The beauty, aesthetics and wellness salon, owned by Beatrice Pounder, has been running since 2013. What’s new with you? As part of our relocation, we have opened a skincare shop featuring a range of natural, locally made products. What sets you apart? We welcome clients living with cancer and offer a range of customised treatments suitable for every stage of treatment and recovery. We recommend the NHS-designed skincare range Defiant Beauty which is great for those with delicate and sensitive skins. What treatments are popular right now? Lash lifting, and soft, natural-look brow shaping. What’s your autumnal beauty recommendation?
