Reunited with Headmasters, Mayfair

Published by

Moving away from home is hard for many reasons. The hardest thing for me was missing my friends and family and a single day didn’t pass without wondering what they were doing, wishing I was there with them, laughing at their jokes and attempting to make them laugh with my nerdy jokes. Before As well as missing the usual things like tea bags, English chocolate and the BBC, I also really missed my regular hairdressing salon, Headmasters. After a couple of visits to the Biba Academy in Melbourne, I decided to leave my hair to do it’s thing while I travelled and pay Headmasters a visit when I eventually arrived in London. I cut my trip down by two months and arrived in London a few days ago. Jet lagged, I ventured into central London and walked into Headmasters Mayfair feeling like I had never even been away.

You may have seen my up do by Headmasters for the awards ceremony that I attended a few weeks ago. I loved it so much that I decided to head back to the salon to get my colour done. Headmasters in Mayfair is the perfect salon – a laid back atmosphere with friendly staff and lovely refreshments. I was there to see Sian who would be looking after me for the afternoon. We decided on a colour together and she set to work. Following the application, I was taken downstairs to have the colour washed out and was surprised to see the huge basement floor before my eyes. One thing I love about Headmasters is the way that one person looks after you for the duration of your appointment. The staff are skilled at everything so you don’t need to strike up different conversations with new people every half an hour.
