Here’s to 2012 being even more successful!

This week we’ve been reviewing Schwarzkopf Professional’s NEW [3D]Mension range and must admit that we’re thrilled with it. It’s designed for men and it’s the first hair care brand that’s 100% engineered to deal with men’s hair in a truly “three dimensional” way by focusing on the three key areas: hair, scalp and roots but also through covering 1. Care 2. Styling 3. Colour

In particular we’ve been really impressed with the scent of the products and the packaging really stands out as it is very visual. Price wise too they’re reasonably priced for an in salon range i.e. the[3D]Mension Hair & Body Shampoo which we loved costs £9.25. It’s really refreshing and has a mild formulation that can be used for both hair washing and as a shower gel. It’s great if you lead a busy lifestyle like us but want your hair looking good at all times.

The Guildford Team opted for a racier vibe with leather and sequins to create maximum impact. Dip dye and futuristic styling with a sleek and smooth finish left everyone mesmerised. The future is looking bright for this team of hotshots!

The Wimbledon Team took a seasonal approach with them drawing inspiration from the four seasons to ensure no target was left untouched. They used blonde tones throughout to highlight how sun kissed locks can float between the seasons and really make the most of the colour throughout the year.
