Recently I was lucky enough to be contacted by a very prestigious hair salon in Cork,
The Hair Bar.
They asked me out to have both my colour and cut done, and to try out some of their hair care products etc. Going from a caramel blonde back to dark brown again, I was slightly hesitant but none the less my hair turned out amazing and I couldn't be happier with the service provided.
Ciara, a talented colour specialist, very passionate about hair, firstly went through a consultation with me. I found this part of the service helped so much in explaining everything in detail, from what dark browns would suit my skin tone, the current condition of my hair to what actual products I should be using on my hair to maintain the colour and shine.
After the consultation was completed Ciara then suggested a rich dark base, with a rose gold ombre effect at the ends. I straight away thought of rose gold jewellery and how stunning it is so my initial reaction was YESSSSS!! Besides life is to short to have the same hair as everyone else.
I was delighted with the way the colour came out and how different it was to the usual caramel and yellowish tones that usually come to mind when you think of ombre hair.
I then asked for a bit of volume and bounce in my hair as I feel my hair can be very flat, I literally have a phobia of having flat hair. Not attractive! One of the lovely staff members; Haley introduced me to the 'InStyler' a very popular new hair tool that the girls in the salon swear by.
I found the 'InStyler' was fantastic. Both a styling and straitening iron, it left my hair so bouncy and full of volume even without back combing it, avoiding all damage being done to the hair.
The costumer service in The Hair Bar is second to none, I know myself that you have to be comfortable with your stylist to fully enjoy the experience. I had about 2 or 3 cappachinos and a mountain of cosmopolitan magazines, what every woman needs every now and again. Bliss!
The Hair Bar were also kind enough to provide me with an after care kit including a shampoo, conditioner and dry ends serum all free from any harmful chemicals.
I will have a blog post up on my verdict of those products in the next week or two.
If any of you ladies are thinking of getting your hair done, weather its a new colour or a new cut but you're unsure of what to do. I would highly recommend this salon, not just because of how satisfied I was with the outcome of my own hair but for the friendly costumer service and the fact that 100% attention is given to you and your hair.

Would like to say a massive thank you to Ciara and the girls in The Hair Bar, Douglas.
