The team members involved were Allie Brown from Maidenhead, Sophie Glover from Bracknell and Harps Bhogal from Staines.

We’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate them on their great efforts. When asked what was next for the Jericho Art Team, ‘We are about to shoot our first ever collection and we can’t wait – look out for us!’ was their response! Can’t wait!

Excited like us? I’m sure you all wish them well for the competition and check back soon as we’ll have some photos of the night!

Hi – Im Harps and I’m a Jericho Art Team member. My favourite product range is from the Lanza purely because of the quality and the delivery it provides. Every range in Lanza has UV shields which are UVA, UVB and UVC and they all have healing botanical extracts in them. Lanza has nano technology that repair the hair inside out.

The style range has a Keratin healing system that improves styling control and hold. Colour preserve provide longer lasting hair colour. Lanza also has all the UV shields in the style range which prevent sun damage, while the thermal guard saves the hair from extreme heat.

Lanza speaks for itself- what you see is what you get and is definitely worth every penny and has given brilliant results all the time hence why lanza is the worlds healing hair care company. Remember heals, seals and protects.

Call into any of the Jericho salons and if not me – Im always available at Staines salon, one of our team will be happy to help – or you can get it straight away at TheShampooShop.

When thinking of doing a chemical change on the hair when a guest is pregnant, such as colouring, doctors recommend waiting until after the first 3 months and also having off scalp techniques such as highlights, as they are then not absorbed in by the skin. However, there is little evidence on effects towards the baby when women have coloured their hair during pregnancy, because of increased levels in hormones. I would advise doing a skin test and strand test 24 hours prior to the appointment time. Your guest could have been fine with products before the pregnancy but now they might be irritable to them. Also when pregnant it can affect how quickly the colour takes on the hair, it may be quicker than the recommended manufacturer’s instructions. Don’t worry, by checking the hair every 10minutes you can avoid over processing and scalp irritation.

When a guest comes into the salon for an appointment and they are pregnant, comfort is the main factor -you want them to relax and enjoy their service.

Firstly, make your client aware that the level’s of progestrone can either enhance hair texture to glossy and thick or decrease it to dry and brittle (as stated above). So if and when they do notice patches of hair missing they won’t panic. If a guest already has ‘hair loss’ problems and is worried advise them on seeing there gp, especially if they complain of itching and soreness in the places where the hair is missing as it could be a type of alopecia such as alopecia areata, sometimes caused by emotional stress.

Secondly, making your guest understand that there face shape could change with weight gain during pregnancy. So, no radical changes and a style that is easy to manage for maximum comfort when styling is required.

Finally, as above explain to your guest that their hair and scalp will undergo changes towards chemical services. So they can have it coloured but explain what needs to be done and why ie skin test, hair test.

There are many options for clients that are expecting, or have recently had a baby, from a variation of colour options and hair styles! At Jericho Hair Salons any of our stylists would be more than happy to discuss options with you anytime, simply call the salons or call in.
