Want to know what happens at my hairdresser’s?
Today’s video is a little bit more like a vlog than one of my regular tutorials. I took my camera out with me to my hair appointment at Stevie English Hair. I set up my camera around the salon to film what happens when I’m there – and trust me, I’m there for a while!

I’ve been seeing Stevie to get my hair done for about five years now. My best friend, Rohan, was my hairdresser for years. He was the one that gave me my first life-changing haircut. I met Rohan in the same street that I met my husband Jim, and that’s how the name Hair Romance came to be.
I had only just started Hair Romance when Rohan left me. He selfishly decided to take an amazing job opportunity and travel the world. I was devastated! It’s so sad when your hairdresser leaves you – it’s one of the hardest break ups ever.
Rohan and I have remained best friends, but I was so scared to find a new hairdresser. How do you begin to build up that trust again??
I knew I had found a cheeky kindred spirit in Stevie. He is a master colourist and since that first appointment, I knew my hair was in good hands.
It takes a lot to get my brown hair to be this blonde. I’ve been practically every hair colour with Stevie and I totally trust his work. In the video I have a quick chat with him about what he does to my hair.
Stevie is a master at hair colour, so I’m going to corner him next time I’m in the salon and ask him a bunch more colour questions. So I want to hear from you: what would you like to know?
What questions do you have about hair colour from a hairdresser? Are you interested in hair colour trends? Different formulas? Or maybe the biggest colour mistakes Stevie sees coming out of salons? Let me know in the comments below.
I’m struggling with messy curly hair in a corporate style environment – surrounded by young, white/blonde, straightened hair. My hair is of course dry mid blonde with silver making a presence. Mine is shoulder so my go to is a boring ponytail- what next?? Warning I can’t use a hardryer to style…I love how your hair looks feminine, controlled and embraces the CURL so I would love your advice for an older conservative gal! Please…
oh Sarah, I know that comparison and it makes things so much harder! You need to look up to some women who rock their natural hair. When I was in corporate, I used to wear a lot of Twist & Pin updos (search on the blog for my tutorials & ebook) and I found these updos were great in wet or dry hair and always looked more complicated than they really were xx
I’d love to know what your hairdresser thinks about the best ways to colour hair as greys start to arrive. I have a handful of grey hairs now starting to come through on my natural mid brown hair. I have heard highlights, block colours, leave it natural, semi permanents. So many options but would be great to hear what works best. thanks
ooh this is a great questions! Thanks Ali, I’ll put this to Stevie xx
I thouhgt you to back to youre natural red hair color ?
Hi Carla, red isn’t my natural colour either 😉 I’m still blonde (for now) but you never know what will happen next time… xx
