The Diamond Dry Cut

Our unique Diamond Dry Cut Method is the finest way to cut hair, to get the most flatteringly precise look. The diamond refers to the sections that are used to divide the curved surface of the scalp. The prolific inventor, Buckminster Fuller discovered this in the 1920’s with his Geodesic Dome and it’s a principle that architects also follow when building curved structures. Hair cut this way works with the natural texture and fall of the hair so it’s personalised for you, is much easier to handle at home and stays looking its best for much longer.

When I meet a client for the first time, I always see it as a lifelong relationship; that I’ll continually be able to create a better haircut and service for them than any other hairdresser. Our Diamond Dry Cut method helps give me a 99% return rate and clients that stay with me for decades.

New Premium Waxing

Being fair haired and sensitive skinned, waxing hasn’t featured in my life personally. Though I was pinned down about 15 years ago for an enforced chest wax by my partner at the time who thought it would be a good idea, or amusing at least. It was agony, and the redness lasted for days.

So when our Beauticians asked to demonstrate a revolutionary new waxing to me and on me I didn’t jump at the chance. They claimed it massively reduced the pain to something bordering on pleasant and eliminated the post redness even on sensitive skin. It also left the newly bare skin soft, glowing and polished. After some resistance I tried it and now I believe it. It is quite amazing.

Vanity or Social Responsibility?

I remember as a kid my dad dressing up even when going out to buy a newspaper. He’d always put on a suit and tie. I always admired his sartorial self-respect, but in today’s dressed down, dumbed down society he’d be seen as quaintly old school. He came from an era where communities regulated themselves and front steps were scrubbed religiously.

Chatting to a friend recently, an ex eco-warrior, I was accused of not having a proper job, but just appealing to people’s vanity! I’m not sure what a ‘proper’ job is, but I suggested that one person’s idea of vanity is another’s sense of generosity and consideration for others.

I think we’re all public presenters of sorts (hermits excepted) and cannot help inflicting ourselves on a defenceless society. Hence I feel it’s socially responsible to make the best efforts we can with our personal grooming. The positive health benefits of good self esteem are also well documented.

How we feel about our hair has a big impact on our moods, confidence levels and self-esteem. So I also pointed out to her, the positive health benefits of good grooming and it being a pillar of proactive self-care; others of course being a healthy balanced diet and regular exercise. So it’s not about vanity, but more about social and personal responsibility. “Hmmm”…said my friend, and changed the subject.
