Do your blow your payday packet on looking good? A new TV show pilot is looking for stories in Newport! A show called PAYDAY popped into the Salon and asked if we could ask our customers whether they would like to feature on the show.
Here is synopsis of show and how to apply if you are interest:
We all play the waiting game until payday... maybe so we can pamper ourselves until we feel amazing, maybe so we can paint the town red in a great outfit or maybe just so we can give in to whatever indulgence takes our fancy! The rest of the month will take care of itself...
From Monday 10th June we want to talk to those of you who seriously celebrate when payday rolls around – who simply have to get their beauty treatments topped up or can’t wait to jump on the train and hit the club – people who live in the moment before they think about living with the consequences!
If this sounds exactly like you or your friends, we want to hear about it! There’s no obligation to be on TV, but we need your help in finding as many stories and characters as possible. Get in touch with your contact details at payday@hattrick.com with e-mail subject Burlesque Hair Salon to get on the show!
When one of us is having an off day and we need a bit of a pick-me-up, we always find that hair blogs can motivate, inspire, and generally give us a good old fashioned mojo boost. So today we've rounded up a few of our favourite hair blogs on the web in case you're in need of a bit of mojo yourself!
Hair Romance
Hair romance is the creation of Christina who hated her hair until one perfect haircut helped her fall in love. Now she chronicles the ongoing romance between her and her beautiful blonde locks online. Last year, she set herself the 30 Braids in 30 Days challenge which had us checking back every day to see her beautiful creations!
Lisa Freemont Street
Ashley is a natural beauty who decided to start sharing her retro and rockabilly hairstyles with the world on her YouTube channel, Lisa Freemont Street. If you've got a soft spot for polka dots and victory rolls, make sure you check out Ashley's blog and video tutorials.
The Small Things
The Small Things is a blog dedicated to everything beauty written by the lovely Kate. She's a hair stylist herself so she knows a thing or two about good hair! One of the highlights of her blog is her hair tutorials page where you can see every in depth hair tutorial she's ever created! You can also watch her videos on YouTube.
Hairdresser on Fire
Reagan is a stylist from New York. Her blog, Hairdresser on Fire, is a fun combination of all the latest hair news and a fun look inside her life. Watch out for her amazing 'Answers' posts where she offers her very insightful professional advice on a range of hair related questions from her readers.
Last weekend, four of our up and coming stylists competed in Salon Cymru 2013, an annual event organised and hosted by the training provider ISA. The big event was held Cardiff's Swalec Stadium where some of the country's most talented trainees gathered to mingle and compete. Friendly competition of course!
Byron, Cally, Rosie and Taylor all competed in the Avant Garde category to create some truly stand out styles. Although none of our team took home a trophy, the day is always a great learning experience and a chance for our trainees to catch up with industry news and chat to their peers about all things hair!
We've had a long weekend, beautiful weather and just when you thought things couldn't get much better we go and drop this amazing offer!
Throughout May 2013, our talented graduates Helen and Rosie will be available from Monday to Thursday to give you a first class cut and finish. It's £25 for the ladies and just £15 for gents.

The manager of our Usk salon, Joff, who has been with the business for 10 years and has played a vital part in growning the Burlesque brand in Monmouthshire has just been snapped up by KMS California as their Retail Ambassador for Wales and the West region of the UK! But don't worry, he'll be sticking with us as both creative director and manager of the Usk salon.
Joff has just returned from the KMS Acadamy in Mayfair London where he was undergoing training as an Ambassador. It's a valuable role for both Joff and the business as he can communicate all his new found wealth of knowledge regarding the KMS brand to the salon team and you guys, our clients.
Congratulations Joff!
