Arena Creative Hair

Dear Guests,

It is with a heavy heart that we share some very difficult news.


After 17 wonderful years, Arena Creative Hair will be entering liquidation and will be closing its doors. This has not been an easy decision, and it comes after doing everything we possibly could to continue trading in what has been an increasingly challenging climate.


We are incredibly proud of what Arena has been, not just a salon, but a space filled with creativity, care, and connection. None of this would have been possible without you, our loyal and supportive guests. Your kindness, trust, and continued support over the years have meant more than we can ever truly express.


THANK YOU

We appreciate that this news may come as a surprise. Please know this decision has not been taken lightly, and we have worked hard behind the scenes to explore every possible option before reaching this point.



THE TEAM

We would also like to take a moment to recognise our incredible team. Their talent, dedication, and passion have been at the heart of everything Arena has stood for. As they move on to new opportunities, we would be so grateful if you continued to support them in the future. If you would like help to stay in touch with your stylist, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us and we will do our best to assist.


As many of you will know, they are exceptionally talented and consistently deliver a five-star level of service.


They have been trained to a very high standard and bring with them a wealth of experience, creativity, and professionalism. We are immensely proud of each and every one of them.


As they look for new opportunities, we would be truly grateful if you could keep them in mind. If you are aware of any opportunities, or would like to be connected, please get in touch with myself (Lara) directly.


DEPOSITS

If you have paid a deposit for a future appointment, please contact Lara (owner) using the number above. As the business is entering liquidation, we will provide guidance on the next steps regarding your deposit.



We will do our best to resolve your deposit.

If you would like to continue your hair journey with one of our team members in their next location, please also get in touch and we will be happy to guide you.


We are currently contacting any remaining clients and will continue to do our very best to reach everyone.


NEXT STEPS

This is a very emotional time for everyone involved, and we kindly ask for your patience and understanding while we work through the next steps.



For clients with upcoming appointments, we will be in touch directly over the coming days with further information.

Contact Lara via email: [email protected]


Please do not contact us via our phone number, as we won't always be able to pick up the calls.


From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our journey over the past 17 years. It has truly meant everything to us.


With love and gratitude,

Lara & Richard Wintle

& The Arena Team

Meet Bryony 🤍

She’d been blonde for years… but was ready for a change ,something lower maintenance, just didn’t know where to begin or what would actually suit her.

🎨So we started with a colour analysis
We discovered she’s a Summer, which explained why her icy blonde worked so well on her.

But… she wanted a BIG change.

So we created this soft cocoa brown 🤎

And look at the difference…
Her skin looks more even, her eyes brighter, and those shadows? softened.

This is why it’s not just about going darker or lighter, it’s about choosing the right tone for YOU.

Thinking about a change but not sure what suits you?

Francine rated us 5 out of 5!

I am so pleased with another fantastic haircut by Liu. It looks great without any effort by me - I am a wash and go person. The attention to detail that Liu shows throughout the cut is amazing. Thank you for making me feel so good.

BIG transformation ✨

From grown-out, yellow blonde to a softer, brighter, more lived-in blonde 🤍

We kept her feeling light and fresh, but created a blend that grows out seamlessly - meaning less harsh lines, less stress, and way easier maintenance 🙌

The result?
• Brighter, cleaner blonde
• Softer regrowth
• More natural dimension
• Low-maintenance upkeep

Proof you don’t have to go darker to make your colour easier 💫

Have you ever felt like your favourite colour just… doesn’t suit you?

It’s probably not the colour 👀
It’s the *tone*.

Watch what happens when we see how Sue’s face changes in each season…

✨ dull skin → brighter
✨ shadows → lifted
✨ uneven tone → smoother

Same person. Same lighting. Different tones.

This is exactly what we do in our colour analysis sessions, whether you book the 30 min express or the ultimate 2 hour experience.

Have you ever felt like something looks “off” but you can’t quite put your finger on why?

It might be your undertone.

What season do you think Sue is?

❄Cool colour VS warm fade❄

Even the iciest colour will naturally fade, revealing warm tones.

💎Cool toned pigments are small, slipping out the hair faster than larger, warmer pigments.

Professional at home products will slow fading.

Glosses and toner between appointments will keep your colour looking fresh and vibrant.

Meet Emily 🤍

Emily didn’t want to change her colour - she just wanted to feel a little brighter, fresher, and more like herself. The biggest focus for us was working with her natural tones, not against them.

🎨Using her colour analysis as our guide, we carefully chose a blonde that actually complements her season (no harsh, overly warm or ashy tones here). Then we placed it softly through the hair to lift and brighten, while still keeping her natural depth at the root for that easy, low-maintenance grow out.

It’s the kind of colour that doesn’t shout, it just works. Softer, more flattering, and a lot more “you on your best day.” ✨

Have you ever felt like your blonde doesn’t suit you? It might not be the blonde, it might be the tone.

✨ HIGH IMPACT BLONDE ✨

This is blonde elevated.

High Impact Blonde at Arena is one of the most technical services we offer. Lightener is applied directly to the hair and scalp (usually no foils) to create a clean, seamless, all-over blonde that looks powerful, polished, and completely transformative.

This isn’t a quick appointment, it’s precision work.

It requires:
• Total honesty between you and your stylist
• Expert application and control
• Dedicated 1–1 time from start to finish

Your stylist stays with you the entire appointment, carefully monitoring:
– Lift and tone
– Scalp condition
– Hair health
– Your comfort every step of the way

We protect and support your hair using your favourite bond builders: K18 & Epres, because healthy blonde is non-negotiable.

✨ This is high maintenance, high skill, high impact blonde.

Aftercare is essential: we highly recommend taking home professional products to keep your blonde strong, glossy, and looking its best between visits.

Meet Megan 🤍

🎨 Megan came to us after colouring her hair at home and feeling like the best option was to go back dark… but after a full consultation, we advised against it to avoid further damage.

Instead, we created a softer, low-maintenance colour that feels more elevated and works with her hair, not against it ✨

After a previous bad experience, maintaining the condition of her hair was our top priority.

✨ We protected and repaired throughout using K18 and Epres during the colouring process, finishing with a gloss for maximum shine, strength and longevity.

The result?
A soft, dimensional blonde that enhances her natural tones and grows out seamlessly 🤍

Effortless. Healthy. Luxury.

To keep it looking fresh, we recommend a toner refresh around the 12-week mark.
