We joined Great Lengths for a lesson in all things tapes, plus, we joined L’Oréal Professionnel for a socially savvy session, dropped by London Fashion Week, attended the Salon Services Hair & Beauty Awards 2025, and joined Darrel Starkey for his new wig-hibition! Meanwhile, we were honoured to judge the YATs competition over at Sta Studios, and were thrilled to join Schwarzkopf Professional for the relaunch of the BLONDME Care range.
