SHOULD I BRING A PICTURE FOR INSPIRATION TO MY COLOUR CONSULTATION??
We get asked this a lot, and the answer ultimately is... Yes.
However, there are pros and cons with pictures.
PROS FOR PICTURES:
🌿 It allows us to see your hair goals
🌿 It shows us what you like, but ultimately what you don't like too... (Pictures can say a thousand words😜)
🌿 It gives us a sense of your style
CONS FOR PICTURES:
🌿 Is your hair cut similar to the picture?? A very layered haircut, isn't going to be best suited with a soft flowing, sun kissed balayage.
🌿 Do you style your hair like the picture ?? Wearing your hair straight or wavy changes how the colour looks hugely. So if you wear your hair straight, but the picture is wavy... It's going to look very different.
Wavy hair allows the different colours to show more and makes the colour pop. Straight hair will appear more blended and less contrasting.
🌿 Is the picture you like going to work with your skin tone??
🌿 Is your hair goal actually possible to achieve?? A lot of factors will contribute to this... lifestyle, haircut, cost, time, but most importantly, the condition of the hair.
🌿 Is it going to work with your lifestyle?? A high maintenance colour, isn't gonna be the best option for anyone who wants to visit the salon less frequently.
So, what's best you ask....
An open Mind and a picture for reference.
Our stylists will always work to your hair goals if their achievable. But to us the most important thing is working a beautiful colour to your lifestyle and haircut and making it individual to your needs ✂️

DO HIGHLIGHTS OR FOILAGE HAVE TO BE BLONDE??
The answer is no…We can place the colour and lift it until it’s even, and then choose any tone you like!
It’s all a process, as you can see here. By placing the lighter pieces at focal points, then allowing the rest to blend through the dark hair.
Here, we chose a warm brown into lighter ends…all to compliment the haircut✂️
What this means in the appointment:
🌿 Balayage placement, usually using foil
🌿 Toner, sometimes more than one mixed together
🌿 Around 4 hours in the salon
🌿 From £140 and up
🌿 K18 treatment added for hair health.

INTRODUCING OUR NEW PRODUCT... K18!!
If you have visited us in the salon recently you may have been asked if you wanted to try out K18 with your colour service. We have heard all your feedback and it is clear that you all love it!
So what is K18 and why do we love it so much?
🌿 K18 is peptide that is clinically proven to reverse hair damage from Bleach, Colour, Chemical processes and heat. It repairs the hair to leave it strong, soft and manageable
🌿 It travels deep into the inner layers of the hair to reconnect Keratin chains that are broken when hair is damaged.
🌿 The peptide mimics the natural keratin bonds in your hair so the effects last in your hair even after shampooing.
🌿 K18 is vegan, cruelty free, colour safe and dermatologically tested.
🌿 Amazingly all of this is achieved with a 4 minute treatment so it is great for those that are tight for time.
So if you want healthy, strong and beautiful hair, remember to ask for a K18 treatment at your next visit.

FOILAGE 💫
Foilage is the perfect blend of highlights with balayage pieces to create a soft creative blend making the growing out process between appointments a breeze, as it will grow out soft and not leave the client with 'roots'.
I love creating these types of hybrid colours for clients as it gives off a more natural look but still making you look and feel like you have had your hair done.
Foilage benefits consist of
🍃 Soft colour blend
🍃 Bright and dimensional
🍃 Toner for maintenance instead of more highlights
This technique can be different for each individual client depending on their needs/wants. For a blonder look I would add more thicker slices and bring it higher to the root but still brushing the colour up towards the root for that seamless blend.
If you would like to know more or think this could be the colour for you, then book a colour consultation with one of our stylists today by calling us on 0131 228 8882 or email us at mcgillshairdressing@gmail.com 🌟

WHAT MAKES US A SUSTAINABLE SALON?
@salonsustainability are one of those companies that we love. They help recycle the unrecyclable.
This allows us to recycle:
🌿 Hair cuttings. These are then made into oil Matt's to help with ocean spills 🌊 or can be used to compost and grow food 🌱
🌿 We recycle all our foil and colour tubes that would usually go to landfill 😢, but instead are made into more metal 👍
🌿 Colour waste is also taken, which stops this going down our drains.
We also use:
🌿 @ecotowels.uk which are bio degradable.
🌿 @ecoheadsuk which reduce the amount of water wasted, when shampooing.
🌿 @digimagsuk to save paper being wasted unnecessarily
We are always learning and searching for better ways to help our planet and our environment
