๐ NATIONAL OCEANS DAY ๐
Happy National Oceans day to you all! Did you know we work with Green Salon Collective to help look after our precious oceans?
First of all they take all our waste and recycle it to stop the land fill which ends up in our oceans.
Secondlyโฆ. have you ever wondered what happens to your hair thatโs cut?
Well, we collect it all and send it away to be made into โhair boomsโ which are used to soak up oil from the Ocean. Hair is the only thing that can soak up oil from water and this is how Green Salon Collective came up with this amazing idea!
If you have any more questions about the things we do here at McGills to protect our oceans then just ask a member of our team!

TEAM TRAINING DAY WITH AIMEE ๐
Aimee had done a training day with us doing wet balayage.
Wet balayage is a different technique to do a balayage for clients who want a more softer transition between dark and light. The bleach is applied on damp hair which gives more of a lived in look and a softer grow out for the client.
By it being applied on damp hair it is less damaging but also not for evey type of hair as everyone's hair is different.
This is a really fun way to do a balayage and we had a lot of fun with it as you can do lodes if different tones and colours for the end result.
Too book in please Email us [email protected] or call 0131 228 8882
