Style Notes from Scissors
From the right home care to the latest cuts and colour trends, salon owner Caitriona Loughran reveals her professional secrets for healthy, stylish hair this autumn.
Invest in the Best
The first thing I tell every client is to use the right products. Healthy hair is the foundation for everything else. When the condition is good, colour lasts longer, shine is brighter and styles sit the way they should.
At Scissors, we recommend Alfaparf Semi Di Lino, a professional range that transforms the hair fibre from the inside out. With ingredients like flaxseed extract, it strengthens, hydrates and protects the hair while giving it incredible gloss and softness. Pollution and heat can dull and damage hair, but this range helps to shield against both, meaning results last much longer between salon visits.
Supermarket brands may look like a bargain, but many contain harsh ingredients that actually strip hair and cause colour to fade. Professional care is a much smarter investment because it improves hair over time and is often more cost effective than people realise. A little goes a long way and once you have the basics right, great hair always follows.
Autumn Colour Reset
Autumn is a time to give blonde hair a well-earned rest. Instead of constant bleaching, I encourage clients to try softer tones with lowlights that add depth without damage. Condition always comes first.
For brunettes, this is the season to experiment. Shades of chestnut, coffee, caramel and rich autumnal tones reflect the light beautifully. These colours feel seasonal, flattering and far less harsh on the hair.
The Bob is Back
One of the biggest looks this season is the bob. Whether blunt, textured, layered or paired with a fringe, it is a cut that works on almost everyone.
The beauty of a bob is its versatility. It can be sleek and polished for a sharp look, or tousled and undone for effortless chic. A bob also gives tired hair a fresh start, removing split ends and instantly lifting condition.
Extensions Made Easy
Extensions are not just for long, mermaid hair. A few well-placed pieces can transform fine or thinning hair, adding instant thickness and volume.
Often we will use just a handful around the sides, which makes a world of difference to a client’s confidence. Subtle and discreet, they are a clever way to give hair the boost it needs without changing length or style.
