HAIR & THERE
Last month, HJ got up to loads of festivities in the lead up to Christmas! We went to the Fellowship Luncheon and Awards at The Londoner Hotel. We dropped in to Aveda in Covent Garden for a hair transformation from Antoinette Beenders, had an exclusive manicure experience at Soho Works with Andreia Professional, and joined Schwarzopf Professional for an afternoon of festivities, where we saw a special screening of The Holiday and celebrated the incredible work of the Shaping Futures charity which inspired the brand’s limited edition Christmas gifts. We said farewell to HJ’s Executive Director, Jayne Lewis-Orr, with a party in Leicester Square, and of course we let our hair down at our office Christmas party in Balham! Don’t forget to head to our TikTok and Instagram to take a look at all the footage!
