HJ’S HOTTEST HIT *SEPTEMBER'S TOP ONLINE STORY IS…

HERE IS THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A HAIRDRESSER

Melissa Timperley gets to the truth about what it means to be a hairdresser with her passionate, factual and inspirational argument. Although written pre-pandemic, her column is now arguably even more poignant. And let's face it, your clients have probably come to realise your true skill, value and worth in the past years more than ever before.

HAIR & THERE

Last month, HJ was invited hair, there and everywhere for industry events. We headed to the Hunter Collective to try the new Kevin. Murphy High.Lift blonde range, Adam Reed’s salon to explore the new L’Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Molecular range, and Duck and Dry for a quick styling session with Bondi Boost. Plus, we were lucky enough to get an exclusive invite backstage at the KMS x VIN+OMI, Omnia, London Fashion Week show at One Hundred Shoreditch. We saw the hair creations come to life before attending the live show in the evening.

This month HJ asked you...

DO YOU RETAIL CHRISTMAS GIFTS?
With Christmas just around the corner, and our Christmas Gift Guide on page 46, we wanted to know if you retail festive gifts in the salon.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

Each month, we delve into our exclusive online gallery and pick out a style we just can’t get enough of. We love this sleek, sharp, panelled bob with visor fringe by Ben Driscoll-Price. Captured in 2018 by photographer John Rawson, it made Ben a finalist for Wales and South West Hairdresser of the Year. To see the full collection and thousands more visit hji.co.uk/gallery
