This is where I will showcase blog posts about makeup and beauty
Obviously, I am obsessed with makeup. I see makeup as a way to express creativity, skill, and style. I see it like artwork for the face. It is art in its purest form; in was only meant to exist for a moment and has to be redone over and over, improving each time. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I see beauty in practically everything.

We all want to look at our best. Whether we are heading to a big event or we are just heading out of the house, we tend to look at ourselves in the mirror just to check. In the grand scheme, our looks do not really play a big part in our happiness – but there might be a nagging feeling surrounding it all. Our looks can play a huge part in first impressions and can be a deal breaker in other minor regards, however. When we are looking good, we tend to feel confident – which can allow us to do better in most things. The chances are that you are beautiful exactly the way you are. There might be a few things you wish to change, however, and that’s okay too. Cosmetic procedures can provide many benefits in both the short and long term. Even the most minimally invasive treatment can change your life if done properly. Here are just a few benefits:Â
Your hair is a big part of your personality, and as such you want to ensure it looks just the way you want it. If you’re considering going for a change or just want your current style tidied up, choosing the right hair salon is a must. Finding the best place for you is about more than just nipping into your local hairdressers. You want to do your research and consider a few different factors before picking the best one for you. Here we’ve put together some top tips for choosing a hair salon for your next appointment.Â
While you might be tempted to cut or dye your own hair at home, you just won’t get the same results as going to a salon. Not only do the hairdressers go through rigorous training, but their equipment and products are designed to offer the highest quality finish. There are all too many horror stories about people attempting to dye or bleach their hair themselves, only to end up with patchy, dry locks that need sorting out by professionals anyway. It’s better to save yourself the aggro and head to a hair salon yourself in the first place. After all, if you spend money on home hair and beauty products then need to go and get it sorted out, it ends up being more expensive than it would have been in the first place anyway!
What to consider when you choose a hair salon
When it comes to choosing the best hair salon for you, there are a few things you need to think about. This includes:
If they offer a specialist service
Some hair salons have mostly trainees, others have top consultants who might do the hair for celebrities. Consider who you would like to do your hair and how specialist a cut or colour you might need. It can be more expensive to have a higher level of profession, but the results will be well worth it. If you have more specialist hair such as afro or hair, ensure the salon you’re looking into are experienced in this area or specialise in it. You want to check they’ll give your hair the treatment it needs and provide you with the best result.
The sort of salon you would likeÂ
There are a host of salons out there that offer a range of different experiences. You could decide you want a boutique salon packed with personality and that’s good fun. You might want a salon that’s more boujee – some have cocktail bars and live DJs! Or you might just find you’re better off going for a no-frills approach if you just want something simple. Take a look online and do your research to find the one that suits you best.Â
Their online reviews
As with most services these days, it’s best to check out the online reviews before committing to a salon. These enable you to check the credibility of a place and find out if their actual performance aligns with what they profess on their website. You can check out reviews on their social media, on sites such as TrustPilot, or see ones they’ve added to their own site. These should all give you an idea of how they treat their customers and what people think of them.
Check out their social media
Similarly to checking out reviews, social media channels offer a useful insight into a business. Social media channels such as Instagram, Twitter and Facebook can all have people tag photos and leave reviews. Real-time photos give you a good look at how they operate and what they look like from a “normal” view as well as the professional one the company puts across. You can also get an idea of the different styles and capabilities they have as well as get inspired for your hair do. You could take a look at haircuts they’ve given to other customers, show them the photos and ask for something similar. Remember to always ask for advice though as what suits one face might not suit yours quite the same.
Where they are located
The location of a hair salon also has a big part in whether or not you will pick them. If you don’t have a car or easy access to public transport, you are going to want to find somewhere close by that you can walk to. And if the place in question is often very busy, having somewhere nearby means you can be added to a waitlist and nip in if there is a last minute cancellation. If you were to choose somewhere further away, you wouldn’t be able to drop what you’re doing and pop in for a last-minute appointment as you’d need to factor in things such as travel time.Â
The price range
Different salons are differently priced and this depends on their offerings. If you are on a budget, you’re better finding a smaller, local salon that isn’t quite so specialist. If you aren’t so strict on what you can spend, you could opt for a larger salon or for a stylist that has higher credentials. You could also add on things such as a wash and blow dry as opposed to a dry cut which is cheaper. These are all things to consider when looking to choose the best hair salon.Â
To conclude
These are just a few top tips for choosing the best hair salon for you. The next time you’re looking to get your hair-fix these are some of the things to consider. Remember that when you get to the salon, you can ask them for advice and don’t be afraid to show inspiration you’ve found online. As mentioned above, you could check out the salon’s social media to find out what they have done on clients recently and ask for something similar. Are you getting your hair done soon?

Many of us would love to grow our hair faster and healthier, particularly if we’re the sort of people who love to embrace the latest styles and fashions. However, biology being biology means we usually have to wait. Hair will only grow a few millimeters per week (and even less if you’re older!)
With that said, there are actually some weird and kind of crazy ways you can grow your hair faster and healthier. Many of them are natural and actually involve just following common sense lifestyle practices.Â
Plastic surgery has become an increasingly popular trend over recent years, with both men and women opting for procedures designed to enhance their physical appearance.
