I have contacted all clients who are booked in tomorrow...the salon will be closed tomorrow due to sickness.
This isn't an easy decision to make when your self employed but hopefully another full day's rest and I will be back. I will be in touch with clients when I feel better. Sorry again.

New to Smiths Hair Studio!

ASP Super Smooth System.

I done it on Andrea Waddell about 4 weeks ago but the dummy I am forgot pictures so, my lovely client Ruth was my next model to try this system on.

Now Ruth's hair naturally is not overly dry condition wise but quite big and frizzy. She says herself in the mornings and after blasting her hair dry she resembles as Hagrid 🤣🤦‍♀️ her words, not mine! So I thought Ruth would be the perfect model to try this on.
The pictures say it all!! And her messages afterwards too!

If this is something your interested in let me know so I can see how much interest there will be into getting this in the salon.

Prices will be from £125 and this will include the aftercare Shampoo and Conditioner 💜 xx

Most of you know that I've been following Broxburn Athletic FC recently. Thanks to my dad, I'm the official sponsor of their player, Bryan Mwangi, who has been an asset to the team so far!
He was Man of The Match on Saturday. Dad and I went through to the game.
Broxburn winning 4-3.
And scoring the 1st goal of last night's game, Broxburn winning 3-0.

Don't worry tho, hibs will always be in my blood 😜.

All the Teddy's have now been paid for and I can reveal...the Teddy's name is Queenie!
The winner is....Wendy!
I have contacted Wendy to tell her the good news and I knew there was a reason why I loved this lassie to bits. Wendy has kindly and very generously donated her winnings to the go fund me. So £200 has now been donated to Jaxon McKenzies Go Fund Me page.
Thank you to everyone for taking part and helping raise money for a special wee boy and his family.

Well done to all the businesses who are taking part.
I know Carol and Co have a raffle on the go.
Bonnie Quines also have a raffle on the go.
Broxburn Bowling Club have a quiz night and bowling day planned too. It's been lovely to see a community come together!
Also Broxburn Fire Station are having a car wash day next Saturday the 24th August!

Thanks again to Wendy for donating the winnings. You truly have a heart of gold.

✨️Guess the Name of the Teddy✨️
👨‍🚒 In support of Broxburn Fire Station Fundraisers👨‍🚒
💙For Jaxon McKenzie💙
Please pop in to Guess the Name and pay if you can as I am busy today until 1pm then closed until Tuesday.

Broxburn Community Fire Station have organised two fundraising events to raise money for a young local boy, Jaxon McKenzie, a son of one of there own fire fighters, who sadly at the age of 6 has been diagnosed with a terminal illness that has affected both his and his familys life.

The next fundraising event will take place at Broxburn Fire Station with a 12 hour car wash on Saturday, 24th August. Please, if you can, go along to support.

As a community, there has been raffles and fundraisers going on. Bonnie Quines are doing a fantastic raffle to win an amazing hamper. Broxburn bowling club are doing a bowling day in Sept are ones I know from the top of my head.

I'm doing a Guess the Name of the Teddy when a lucky winner can win £100 voucher to use in the salon and £100 donation to go fund me for Jaxon 💙

It will be £5 an entry, and this will be for existing clients only. The reason for this is it's only fair as I couldn't guarantee a space for a new client, unfortunately.

The winner announced when all Teddy's names are filled.

Donate to Broxburn Fire Station fundraiser for Jaxon McKenzie, organized by Darren Raeburn 01/08/2024

Social media has not been a nice place lately...so much hatred. It was lovely seeing how a wee community was coming together in aid of raising funds for this amazing wee boy Jaxon.

I have a Guess the Name of the Teddy poster arriving hopefully to start next week. This will be for existing clients only! As it's to win £100 voucher to use in the salon. £100 towards the Go Fund Me. £5 a name.

I will pop a post up when the poster arrives.

Payment will be Cash or Bank Transfer ONLY. I won't be able to accept Card Payment for this due to the fees.

Depending the demand for this, I may do another one.

Thanks,

Linzi 💜 xx

What's the difference between a cut and blow dry and dry cut?

I get asked this quite a lot. I also get a few clients wanting just a dry cut when they need a cut and blow dry.

This has nothing to do with the cost. It comes down to the style and time.

If you have one length cut and just want a trim and your hair is not too thick. Very basic cut, you can do a dry cut.
If you want layers, thinned, cut into, shape to the face etc (a style), you need a cut and blow dry.

When you do get just a basic trim, your hair needs to be clean too as to ensure the cut is straight, the straighteners get used to smooth it over first. Heat and dirty hair don't go 🤢.

There is some "styles" I can manage as a dry cut but some need to be washed and dried. If you are unsure please just ask. And please ask before you book in! It won't be the first time I've had to just end up giving someone a trim who's wanted a style because they've booked I'm the wrong appointment.

Thanks,

A wee appreciation post!

Nowadays, most clients come in with a photo from a social media platform, and yes, it certainly helps us get a visual of what you're after, but SO many colours now aren't just your average set of foils. We're talking Face Framing, Tip Outs, Teasy lights, Root Melts and Toners. A lot of hairdressers now work on a 1 2 1 basis due to the time these colours take.

I myself enjoy watching content like Day With Me in the Salon. But there's always that bit I wish they would add how long it took them.

This post does that. I have a few clients wanting to transition to their natural grey hair, and I feel bad saying I just don't have the time, and this is why! This transformation took 8 hours!

I totally appreciate that you guys just see a picture and say I want that, but when you're a 1 man band with a full column 5 days a week, it's not always possible, unfortunately.

Obv I do struggle to say no but with all these big colours becoming more and more popular please don't think I don't want to do it when I say no, I simply don't have 5/6 hours free to do them.

Smiths Journey

Hello! Though i would update this bit and tell you a bit off my journey! Smiths Hair Studio is a new, small, friendly and professional hairdressing salon based Broxburn, West Lothian. I am not new to the Broxburn area. Infact i have worked in Broxburn for 16 years! I first started off in Gorol & Co in Oct 2002 then from there Brian Michaels in Sept 2003, in both these salons i was Wella trained and given extra training, then left in 2008 to go to Dynamic Hair Design where i got trained with Clynol and decided in 2013 to take the plunge and go self employed and began in Hair Design where i first continued with Clynol but then done a changeover to Schwarzkopf and done lots off training in there Academy in Glasgow. Ive also done a few training days with independant educators Paul Callaghan and Nicole Meechan. The opportunity to open a small salon came and i had to take it, it just felt the right time to have my own wee place. And thats how Smiths Hair Studio came. I still continue with training, still love to offer people a good knowledge to colour with an affordable price. And for my choice off products for me to use and retail in the salon, i prefer Affinage products and some Schwarzkopf ones especially the BlondMe range. Im looking forward to seeing all previous clients through the door, without them this wouldnt be happening and happy to welcome new faces to the salon too!
