Fringe-Tastic Friday!

If I had a penny for every phone call I got starting with ''Gavyn she thought she would trim her own fringe because it was easier'' I think I could pay myself for a year.

Well here at Tommy's fringe trims are complimentary for our Guests.... We made the video blog to show you how you can change your look in-between appointments without having to spend a penny!

Fudge (Virginia) phoned us, she has a fringe trim to keep her going in between cuts, and she very kindly agreed to be a part of our blog so we can show you how we can change your look in five minutes or less. Ideal for when you feel like a little change, but it's a couple weeks until your next appointment! 

 Thank Blog it's Friday!

The Devil Wears Prada.... But what's everyone else wearing?

Thank Blog it's Friday... With a twist!

This Friday we decided to give our very talented Camera man Milo a few days off  to sun himself, so the video blog will be back next week.  So I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce  the new page that we have decided to make for the  blog... another bow in our string so to speak!

For those of you who haven't been to the Salon let me introduce you to Kristina....

As you can see from this picture she is the kind of lady who could turn up to work 

saying she had the worst case of man flu alive, and still have the demeanor 

of a Princess and styling that makes Gok Wan look like he's been left in the stalls.   

So I thought to myself why isn't this lady giving us her opinion 

on what to put on our backs?

Here it is... The Fashion Page 

 August is here and still no sign of summer, the sales are on and all the shops 
look like a JUMBLE SALE !!

Thank blog it's Friday!

What are you going to do with your hair?  You had the slick pony last weekend, and the thought of sitting there with a pair of curling tongs and hairspray, with Neighbours in the background brings on thoughts of suicide. Plus, you haven't washed your hair for the three days... What the hell are you going to do???

QUIFF IT!

It's a brilliant idea... I know!!  The great thing about the quiff is they can be as rough and textured, or as smooth and sleek as you like, they always look great!

We've seen them on the Red Carpet from the likes of Cat Deeley

As you can see here with her sporting a lovely textured quiff, it doesn't have to be perfect for it to look good, in some cases the rougher it's put up the better it looks.

I know what you're thinking... ''I've got short hair I can't do that'' Well NEVER say never, Rihanna with her short hair managed to put it up into a stylish quiff.

Now unlike Rihanna, we know that you don't have a team of sixteen stylists there to do your make up and hair before you go out, or wake up in the morning (Wouldn't that be great?)  so here is our wonderful Camilla again to show you how to do it at home... I know... You can thank me later...
