New hair!

I've been feeling a bit dull lately, there's nothing like a hair colour change to cheer me up! I went to a wonderful new (approaching it's 1st birthday!) salon in Belfast called Vintage Rocks. The salon is utterly beautiful, styled with vintage dressing tables and quirky knick knacks. The lovely hairdressers there shimmy around bringing you tea and cupcakes while their own playlists play anything from 1950s hits to Muse.

'The vision of glamour and ultimate femininity becomes reality within Belfast's first Vintage and Rock 'N' Roll Hair Parlour. Clare Afshar, Owner of Vintage Rocks hair parlour is an L.A trained hair artist and designer passionate for classic vintage & retro hairdressing with a sexy Rock'n'Roll twist.'

I haven't had a regular hairdresser for years, I usually just go to a training salon, so it was nice to go somewhere that really listened to me and really know what will work and what won't, and are happy to tell you if something isn't going to work rather than messing your hair up and charging you extra for it! I wanted to go to bright red, the very talented Clare Ashfar along with the lovely hairdresser who cut and coloured my hair (Kathy) explained that going that bright in one swoop would wreck my hair and cost a lot. So I ended up getting highlights done throughout, and the rest dyed a nice red without being bleached with the idea that I will gradually go brighter, saving my hair added stress!



I pinned it up for my graduation and wore a pretty hairband from Primark of all places!

If you want to feel listened to and feel like a part of something special, I urge you to make Vintage Rocks your regular salon. They specialise in, as the name says, vintage hair. Pincurls, fingerwaves, fancy up dos, they do it all. I can't recommend them enough! And I like to point out when I am praising a product or business that I have not been paid or given a free haircut to write this!



Here are some photos to show the colour. I graduated yesterday! I now have a BA Honours in Film Studies (Major) and Sociology (Minor). I also just found out that I got accepted on to the Masters course in Film that I applied for. I can't wait to start in September! Oh and of course, since I was graduating in film I couldn't NOT wear my Ruby Slippers!

p.s. I love that my hair matches my (messy) strawberry nails!
