Phorest Client Experience Award 2020
Posted on October 17, 2020 at 8:41 AM |
![]() |
We've done it again!! This is an independent award that is calculated from all the review emails that are sent after a customer leaves the salon. We are so happy to receive this accolade, as we are the only salon in Stourbridge and one of only a handful of salons in the UK to have it! Thank you as always for taking the time to respond to our emails and leave a review- we couldn't have done it without you! |

It’s with an extremely heavy heart, and a lot of tears, that I have decided to close the salon for the foreseeable future. My staff and clients are the backbone of Tulip, and as much as I hate to let people down and cancel appointments, I couldn’t live with myself if the girls or one of you got ill. The girls have been amazing and we have all done everything in our power to keep the salon clean and comply with the WHO guidelines, but we are in such close contact that it’s impossible for us to practice social distancing. If you have an appointment this week, I will be in touch to cancel/reschedule in the next couple of days. For everyone else, if you are able to cancel/reschedule yourself online, this would help me greatly- as you can imagine we have a lot of people booked in! The salon phone line will be diverted to me from Tuesday, and I am always reachable via social media & email if you have any questions (or just want a chat and a listening ear!) I will be reviewing the situation week by week, and as soon as it’s safe to reopen we will. I don’t want to keep spamming your inbox, so further updates will be made via social media until we re-open, so please follow us on Facebook or Instagram if you don’t already. I want to thank each and every one of you for your support. I speak for all of the Tulips when I say we have the best customers, and that makes it a pleasure to come to work. We are more like a family, and will miss seeing you all, it will be horrible, but we will have so much to catch up afterwards! I also want to thank Team Tulip. They really are amazing! The best team I could ask for and always by my side We’ll be back together soon- we’ll miss our Saturday afternoon gin too much Please stay safe everyone, we’ll see you on the other side. Hopefully with some exciting news, it is our 10th birthday this year after all ❤️ |

What's a toner? Why do I need one?

What is a
toner? And why do I need one? We come across this question a lot in the salon, as sometimes it can feel like your paying extra for something that you don't see. A toner is the
difference between brassy tiger stripes and beautifully blended highlights,
find out more here…. What is a toner? A toner is a type of
colour that’s applied to neutralise brassy/yellow tones after lightening. We
need to see the colour that we'll be neutralising first, so that's why you'll
find us running off into the back room to mix your toner after rinsing off your
foils! A toner can be applied on towel dried hair or dry hair. Why do I need one? Whenever a lightener
or bleach is applied it starts to lift out natural or artificial colour, but at
the same time brings out any underlying warmth. Everyone has some degree of
natural warmth in their hair, but as a quick rule of thumb, people with amber
flecks around their pupils have more warmth than a person with flat brown/blue
eyes. Dark artificial dyes contain extra warmth, which is why going from box
colour black to blonde is impossible in one sitting! Is a toner bad for
my hair? A toner is another
chemical treatment yes, but the toners we use are full of ceramides (which
smooth the cuticle and makes your hair look silky and shiny). Our toners do not
contain any ammonia, as we aren't lightening the hair, just depositing colour.
Your hair will actually feel healthier after a toner compared to just a
lightening service. If you decided to opt for our VIP Bond Ultim8 colour
upgrade, the treatment will be added to your toner too, meaning you get double
VIP treatment! Is there one toner
for everyone? No! We have a
dispensary of over 25 different toners, all of which are intermixable to
specifically neutralise the underlying warmth and give you a personalised
colour suited to your skin tone. Whether it be platinum, ashy, pearl, dusky
pink, caramel or honey blonde, there's a toner for everyone. How long does a
toner last? A toner can last
from 2-6 weeks, dependant on the colour and the integrity of the hair. The more
porous or damaged the hair, the quicker the toner will fade, although having a
colour lock treatment will help. The lighter and cooler the toner, the quicker
it will fade, so those platinum white blondes and steely greys turn out to be
high maintenance and may need toning every couples of weeks. During your
consultation we will discuss these issues with you, so no nasty surprises! How do I prolong my
toner? The best way to
prolong your toner is to not wash your hair so often! Once your hair has been
lightened, it's in a fragile state, so by washing everyday not only is going to
fade your colour quicker, it's also going to dry out your hair and remove all
of your natural oils. Another great tip is to use a toning shampoo and
conditioner. We stock a variety of different strength toning shampoos,
conditioners and masks and we can prescribe the perfect one for you. |

We'll be introducing more changes to the salon in the coming months. Have you got any tips on how to make our salon more environmentally friendly? Let us know! th x |
