Hair By Rou

Gather round gather round - a new character is in town 🌈🎨✨
Hollie came to me with a grown-out global bleach, faded pastel tones and a regrowth line that was ready for a new chapter.

Rather than simply re-bleaching everything, we approached things slightly differently. Using a foiling technique, I softened the grow-out and reintroduced dimension so future maintenance feels much more seamless.

Then we unleashed the fun - THE EXCITEMENT ALMOST OVERPOWERING.

Danger Jones shades were layered throughout to create this electric sunset melt of pinks, oranges, reds and pastel peach tones, with little flashes of colour hidden underneath for that extra bit of magic.

Proof that vivid hair doesn’t have to mean harsh regrowth, high maintenance or compromising on creativity. ✨

Sometimes the best transformations aren’t just about changing the colour, they’re about creating something that works better for your lifestyle too. 💛☀️

✨ a day in the life: Monday edition ✨
Hi hello good evening and welcome to a day in the life of me - a chaotic self employed hairdresser that spends more time laughing than actually doing hair 💃🏻
Featuring: the soft launch of the fresh salon space, a whole lot of laughs, dancing, and emotional support suitcase and a product bottle in the wrong place.
So much love to those that made this 24hrs amazing - you all make me fall in love with this job over and over again ✨

Behind the chair with Rou ☀️

People often ask me what my favourite part of my job is, and honestly? It’s the people.

The hair is amazing, of course. I get to be creative every day, help people feel like the best version of themselves and create some beautiful transformations. But the thing I take home with me after every appointment is the conversation.

The laughs. The life updates. The stories. The catch-ups that somehow feel like you’ve known each other forever. And actually, some of you I really have 🧡

Some days my cheeks genuinely hurt from laughing so much.

I’m incredibly lucky that my job allows me to spend my days with such wonderful humans, and I don’t think I’ll ever stop being grateful for that. 💛

Hair is what brings us together, but it’s always the people who make this job so special.

Hi hello good evening and welcome back to…
✨ a day in the life ✨

Thank you to everyone that came to see me and was a part of this 24hrs. I had the best time ❤️

✨ BEFORE & AFTER ✨

Sometimes the biggest transformations aren’t just about the hair… they’re about the trust. 🤍

This lovely client made the trip all the way from London to sit in my chair, and I don’t think I’ll ever stop feeling grateful for things like that.

From grown-out, lived-in blonde to a beautifully blended, bombshell blonde with softness, dimension and shine in all the right places ✨

Every time one of my guests chooses to travel that little bit further to see me, it genuinely means the world. In an industry where there are salons on almost every high street, I never take it for granted that my clients continue to choose me.

So thank you. For the miles travelled, the recommendations, the loyalty, the trust, and for allowing me to be part of your hair journey.

✨ HI HELLO GOOD EVENING ✨

Need a blonde overhaul?

I’ve got you ✨

After some time away from the salon, this lovely guest was ready for a Full Head Bombshell and honestly… what a transformation.

Fresh brightness.
Soft dimension.
Expensive-looking blonde.

Exactly how summer hair should feel. 🤍

Service: Full Head Bombshell

Because sometimes all it takes is the right blonde appointment to fall back in love with your hair again. ✨

thank you SO much for coming to see me! I loved having a full debrief and spending some time with you!! Can’t wait for the next one x x x x

✨ HALF HEAD BOMBSHELL ✨

Perfect for those who already have blonde in their hair but want to bring it back to life.

Think of it like polishing silverware ✨ The silver is already there, it’s just lost a little of its sparkle over time. A Half Head Bombshell refreshes the brightness, enhances the contrast and brings everything back to feeling expensive, glossy and intentional again.

Swipe to see the before ➡️

What I love about this transformation is that technically we haven’t taken her dramatically lighter, but she looks so much brighter. That’s the power of understanding undertones.

Hair colour isn’t static. The same blonde that felt perfect in winter can suddenly feel dull, golden or heavy once the seasons change. Different lighting, different wardrobes, different skin tones throughout the year all affect how we perceive colour.

By refining the tone, lifting selected areas and adjusting the balance of warmth and coolness, we created a blonde that feels fresher, brighter and more in harmony with the season ☀️

Sometimes it’s not about becoming blonder.
It’s about becoming the right blonde.

Service: Half Head Bombshell
Perfect for maintaining an existing blonde, refreshing brightness and keeping your colour looking polished between larger appointments.

beautiful honey girl - SO lovely to have you back in the chair. Always a yap, a good time and something I look forward to 🤌🏻✨

From flat + washed out to rich, glossy dimension ☁️✨

My client wanted her colour to feel more expensive, glowy and healthy without becoming ‘blonder’ - so we refreshed her using my Express Bombshell package 🤎

Using a bespoke hybrid technique of babylights, balayage and dual toning, I softened and enriched her overall colour whilst still keeping that low maintenance lived-in feel.

For the toning process, I used Dia Color through the root area to add richness back into her naturally ashier base, alongside Dia Light through the mids and ends to create glow, softness and reflection rather than harsh brightness ✨

The result? Multi-dimensional ribbon tones, silky shine and hair that catches the light in all the right places ☀️

Finished with a layered cut and bouncy blowdry because this colour deserved movement 🤌🏼

Service: Express Bombshell
Technique: Babylights + Balayage + Dual Toning
Tone goal: Rich glow over brightness 🤎

Sometimes it’s not about adding loads of hair… it’s about adding the right hair 🤍✨

Swipe for the before, during and after of this seamless transformation using bespoke colour matched tapes by Sway.

The goal?
Soft fullness, natural movement and a blend so seamless you’d never know where her hair ends and the extensions begin.

That “during” photo is exactly why colour matching and placement matters so much. Extensions should never just be one flat colour clipped in and hoped for the best. Every fitting is customised to your natural depth, tone, dimension and haircut to create the most believable result possible ✨

By strategically blending multiple shades together, we managed to completely transform the finish from the raw starting point into this creamy, expensive-looking blonde that still feels soft and natural.

Low tension, seamless fit, personalised blending and luxury hair that moves like your own 🤍

If you’ve been thinking about extensions but worry about them looking obvious, too thick, too stripy or not matching properly… this is your sign to book that consultation 🫶🏼


Extensions used:
• Sway Seamless® Tapes 16”
• Shades: Hazelnut Harmony RP4/8 + Chestnut Blonde Mix 6/24
