“I’m so glad I got the fringe because I was scared about it… but it’s perfect and exactly what I wanted!” 🥹

…This is why we love what we do.

Trying something new can feel like a big step, especially when it comes to your hair. But with the right plan, a proper consultation, and a little bit of trust in the process, magic happens 🤍

We talked through everything, took our time, and created a fringe that completely suits Suzanne. soft, flattering, and effortless to style!

Have you ever thought about getting a fringe but felt a little unsure? We’d love to chat it through with you and find the perfect version for you!

“Shall we go a bit shorter?”

Something we often hear when a client is ready for a little change… but still wants to feel like them.

Jackie came in loving her usual style, but was craving something a touch shorter and a bit edgier, so we went for it.

We kept everything that suited her, but added a fresh, textured shape, with some razor technique to give it that modern lift ✨

A subtle change can make all the difference. If you’ve been thinking about switching things up but don’t want anything too drastic… you’re exactly the kind of client I love working with.

Ready when you are!

“I’ve never coloured my hair before…”

Something we hear all the time ✨

Simon first found us on social media and came in for a consultation, feeling a little unsure about taking the plunge. He’d never coloured his hair before, let alone gone for a full head bleach and platinum finish.

But with the right plan, guidance, and a bit of trust in the process… he went for it 🙌

The result? A fresh, clean platinum look and a client who absolutely loved it.

Thinking about trying something new with your hair? Let’s chat 🤍

Amber, who had been following us for a while decided to take the plunge and this was her first visit with us! ✨

From the moment she walked in, it was all about making her feel comfortable, and completely looked after. Cheryl took the time to really understand what she wanted to achieve… and the end result speaks for itself.

And this is what she had to say afterwards…

“First time appointment at Rustic Roots and I’m absolutely thrilled at the result! Cheryl was lovely and listened to what I was looking to achieve. Everyone at RR was incredibly friendly and the environment was relaxed and welcoming. I will definitely be back, thank you ladies!”

A little proud moment for our assistant, Jamie-Lee ✨

Natalia came in with inspiration photos, ready for a change and trusted Jamie-Lee to bring it to life. From blonde to the most stunning, rich copper 🔥

Not only did Jamie-Lee completely transform the colour, she freshened up the cut too… and the reaction said it all.
“Wow… that’s my hair?” followed by “you did that?!” 🥹

These are the moments that matter and give our assistants that boost of confidence as they learn!

Jamie-Lee is currently looking for models on Wednesday mornings for:
• Root tints

Sometimes the best colour decisions aren’t planned.

Anna came in for a refresh and after we rinsed her colour we had one of those “what if we just…” moments.

So we touched up her root with Jade and created a sweep of threes shades flowing through the hair, Jade, plum and ruby.

The excitement in the salon was real when we dried it and saw it all come together. These are the moments I love the most…when creativity takes over and something beautiful happens and she’s never had so many compliments. 💕

Watching Anna’s fashion colour evolve appointment by appointment is such a joy and I can’t wait to see where we take it next.

If you’re thinking about starting your own colour journey, it always begins with a consultation.

✨”But what will it look like when it fades?” ✨

Six weeks ago Alice almost didn’t go through with her gorgeous pink panel.

Fast forward to today…

That bold pink ha softened into the most gorgeous cotton candy fade and honestly? We are loving it! 💗

This is the beautiful thing about fashion colours, they’re designed to evolve. When you start with a deeper, brighter shade, you don’t just get one colour…you get the whole journey.

Week by week it transforms into softer, lighter tones like this. Almost getting a new colour without the appointment.

A couple of things that help keep the fade looking this pretty:

•Cold water washes (total game changer)
• Colour safe shampoo (obv Davines is the best 😉)
•Washing a little less often if you can

A little insider tip…
If you start with pastel shades, they’ll leave the hair much quicker. Going brighter first means you get to enjoy all the stages as it fades.

Alice walked in today smiling and said she still loves it and that’s exactly what we want from a colour like this.

So if you’ve every wondered “but what will it look like when it fades?”

This.
Soft. Sweet. Still beautiful.

Would you go bold first so you can enjoy the fade? 💕

The moment you’re finally allowed to colour your hair… ✨

Lauren had been waiting for this for a long time.

After turning 16, she finally booked in for her first ever colour appointment! 😊

She didn’t want anything too bold.
Just something subtle, soft, and a little bit special.

When she left the salon, her hair caught the light with the most beautiful hints of red running through it. Nothing over the top. Just enough to make her smile every time she looks in the mirror.

But moments like this are about more than just the colour.

It’s about trust.
Trusting your stylist with something new.
Trusting that it will be done safely, professionally, and with the health of your hair at the heart of it.

Lauren walked out absolutely buzzing and those are the moments we love most. ❤️

Sometimes it’s not about a huge transformation…

It’s about that first step into colouring your hair and leaving feeling just a little more like you.
