Sol Hair
Does anyone else feel kind of invincible after a blowout? I know I do. So, chasing that feeling, I visited the team at Sol Hair; hair looking and feeling a bit lacklustre, to say the least. This chic, sustainable salon proudly repurposes and recycles 95% of its waste, so I was happy to indulge in a guilt-free pampering. Walking into the secluded space, the vibrant atmosphere and attentive staff greeted me, and I was promptly seated for a brief consultation. Then, it was off to the basin for a much-anticipated wash of my three-day-old hair. As everyone knows, this is the highlight of any hair appointment, so I leaned back and enjoyed every second. One wash and blissful scalp massage later, it was back to the chair for a blowout and style. The hairdressers looking after me were sweet and informative – not to mention talented! By the time I was out of the chair, my hair was looking absolutely divine and so shiny (if I do say so myself). Walking out the door with my bouncy new ‘do, I found myself making last-minute plans with my friends – this fabulous hair deserved an outing.
