FASHION HEALTH & BEAUTY Celebrate in style The team of professionals at Jaks Hair and Beauty in Newport, have compiled the ultimate checklist to help you plan for perfect party hair this season. • The foundation of any successful hairstyling is condition – treat your hair and scalp to a prescriptive in-salon re-conditioning treatment such as 'Alchemy' from System Professional or 'Penetrate' from Sebastian, leaving the hair soft, supple and glossy. • When was the last time your hair was given a professional haircut and style? Regular haircutting eliminates dry, frayed edges and can often make a statement enough to wear the haircut alone; geometry and asymmetry are key to being on trend this season. Cutting and styling from £26.00. • Gloss it – with Wella Illumina, a new philosophy in light reflecting colour used as a five-minute gloss treatment combines the benefits of condition, colourant and shine; cost and time effective, low commitment and super results! • Will what you wear suit your hair up? Wearing longer hair up can look very elegant, extending the neckline and enhancing the wearing of make-up jaksnewport.co.uk and jewellery - sophisticated, romantic bohemian styles are very popular. A ‘less-is-more’ approach is key with long hair for any occasion; a 45-minute appointment at the salon can take the stress of styling away. • Extended colour matched hair, using ethically sourced materials can be fun for a party; ‘clip ins’ are far the most effective, reducing damage and can be used time and time again; always secure long hair with waxed ended pins matching your hair colour. • Retaining your style or shape with a quality shine spray or hair spray allows the hair to move and look natural, helping to maintain the look for longer meaning you fuss less during the evening. • Men’s grooming this season is sharp and masculine, even facial hair is trimmed to precision. Experience Paul Mitchell Tea Tree cleanser and conditioner for the ultimate fresh feel. Grooming pastes and waxes replace gel and spray to give more flexible, touchable hair. For shorter haircuts, removing any unsightly neck hair and checking the length of the hair over and around the ear, can give a polished attention to detail look for the modern man. 145 High Street, Newport, Isle of Wight, PO30 1TY 01983 524677 [email protected] www.visitislandlife.com 103
