£35.24
This is the average cost of a cut and blow-dry at a hairdressing salon in the UK,
according to Direct Line for Business. London is the most expensive at £42.46,
while Glasgow is the cheapest at £26.88. Further research by the insurance company
revealed that 53 per cent of Brits claim to be faithful to their hairdresser, spending
more than eight years going to the same stylist.

What September
has in store for...

BAD APPLE
We have our hands
full with exciting new
business ventures
this month, including
launching a salon in
Topshop Birmingham.
This is the icing on the cake
as we celebrate our 10th
birthday this year. Topshop
is a massive opportunity so
we’re looking to bring that 18
to 25 demographic back in
to the salon and away from
bathroom box dye.

BILLI CURRIE
We turned 10 this year
so we will be celebrating
in style! I also have a
trip to Barcelona with
@OlaplexUK and the
HOB Salons team
where I will be teaching how
to use Olaplex at an advanced
level. It’s also the launch of
@EvoHair Fabuloso Pro Black
and I can’t wait to work with
Trevor Sorbie Salons for the
Big Hair Do, which you can
follow at @tomsmithhd.
NOT ONE BUT TWO world-famous hair masterminds are headlining The Coterie
in October in an exclusive collaboration between Creative HEAD and Redken.
Guido Palau and Josh Wood will come under The Coterie microscope in London
on Monday 9 October. The former is a session superstar, working on shows such as
Versace, Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang, while the latter is a beauty editor favourite
and travels around the world colouring the hair of the rich and famous.
In conversation with Nicola Moulton – Vogue’s former beauty and
lifestyle director and now the creative director at SEEN Group – we
guarantee this is going to be an awe-inspiring evening.
You must be a Coterie member to attend this event – but fret
not, you can buy membership online right now – head to
creativeheadmag.com/thecoterie to sign up.
