There are different forms of Alopecia, all affecting both men and woman in different ways.

  • Alopecia Totalis (AT) (Total loss of the hair on the scalp)
  • Alopecia Universalis (AU) (Total loss of all hair on the body)
  • Traction Alopecia - Traction alopecia is usually due to excessive pulling or tension on hair shafts as a result of certain hair styles. It is seen more often in women, particularly those of East Indian and Afro-Caribbean origin. Hair loss depends on the way the hair is being pulled. Prolonged traction alopecia can stop new hair follicles developing and lead to permanent hair loss.
  • Scarring Alopecia (A form of alopecia which leaves scarring on the area of hair loss)
  • Telogen Effluvium - A form of hair loss where more than normal amounts of hair fall out. There is a general ‘thinning’ of the hair. Unlike some other hair and scalp conditions, it is temporary and the hair growth usually recovers.

Tips to create a great haircut.

Posted on by

haircutGetting your hair cut can be quite a scary thing. For many people a hairdresser’s is as bad as visiting the dentist and like the dentist we have all had unpleasant experiences!

For women, finding the right hairdresser is as important as finding the right foundation for your face! To achieve the perfect cut follow these tips when at the salon:

  • Forget the rules about your age and face shape- if it’s a good cut it will suit you!
  • Take a picture of how you want your hair to look, even if it is a picture of you or a friend or celebrity to give the hairdresser a rough idea…if they are a good hairdresser they will then elaborate and give advice to what they think will work for you.
  • Don’t be afraid to tell your hairdresser in detail how much time you have to spend and how you style your hair that way they will be able to judge if the hair cut you require will work for you.
  • Haircuts and colours need to sync with your personality so when you visit the salon wear your favourite heels or lipstick to show your stylist the type of person you are.

At our salon we always make sure that our consultations are thorough and we encourage new customers to come in for a consultation a couple of days before their appointments so we can have a look at their hair and discuss what they would like to have done. Finding the right hairdresser is a priority!!

The Perfect Eyebrows!

Posted on by

Here at The Christos Hair Group we offer Eyebrow Waxing for £8.50 and Eyebrow Tinting for £8.00.

Having your eyebrows groomed and in perfect shape can make all the difference to your overall look, and can become a great feature. We are here to advise you on the best shape, what tint would suit you and how to maintain them.

By having your eyebrows waxed it helps with the application of your eye make-up by allowing the make-up to be applied easier and smoother.

If you have fair of grey eyebrows we would recommend using a light eyebrow tint, as this will open your eyes up.

We do all of our waxing in the first floor of our salon, why not get your waxing done when you come in for a trim? As appointments are not always necessary. For more information please call us on; 01908 611277

Wedding Season Is Almost Upon Us!

Posted on by

With all the lovely spring weddings around the corner, here at the Christos Hair Group we are getting Brides and Bridesmaids booking in for trials.

Our bridal hair stylists have been trained by the world renowned Patrick Cameron.

Saturday the 2nd of February saw our stylists Sarah and Vicki do the bridal hair for the lovely Claire and her bridesmaids. For the finished results take a look at the beautiful pictures on our Facebook page.

If you or someone you know is getting married this year then why not give us a call today and book in for a consultation; 01908 611277

We pride ourselves in giving the best service and preparation for your big day. Our top bridal hair stylists, have many years experience when dealing with wedding parties.

We firstly recommend booking an appointment for a trial when you have an idea of the kind of hairstyle you want to go for, we are also able to add hair extensions and hair pads to achieve the look you want. It is also a good idea to book your wedding trial the same day you have a dress fitting so you can try your dress on and decide if the hair is right. Taking a picture is another great way to see how you look rather as it may seem completely different from you looking in the mirror.

Remember the colour and condition of your hair are just as important as your hair on the day, if you are wearing your hair down then it needs to be in tip-top condition and the colour needs to be perfect too. We normally recommend having your colour done about week before the wedding day to give it chance to settle into the hair, if any products are required like hair masks or treatments we will ensure that we have them in stock for you.

We understand that although the day is to focus around the bride there is still the bridesmaids and mother of the bride that are important and need looking after too. If you have a specific idea of how you want the bridesmaids hair to look then we advise that one of them come along to your trial and have their hair done.

If you are not getting married locally and cannot make it to the salon on the day then our wedding specialists Vicki and Sarah can come out to your venue and create a  personalised wedding package for you, otherwise the upstairs part of our salon is perfect for bridal parties on the big day, we can close upstairs off to make it feel more personal and we are pretty partial to a few bottles of bubbly to kick the celebrations off!!

For any queries please do not hesitate to call us, consultations are free and prices range from:

Bridal Hair – from £80

Bridesmaid – from £60

Blow Drys and hat/fascinator fittings – from £18

‘We only want Stacey’harry_styles

A must have stylist for lads with long hair, Jamie Case told us on Saturday.

Jamie explained to Stacey that she was privileged to be cutting his hair today as he was on the BBC Look East 4 times on Friday!

Jamie takes part inin his spare time and a new gym has been opened in Kingston Milton Keynes for the Free Running club. Jamie, like many other young lads with similar hair styles only trust Stacey with their hair.

Stacey, a full time advanced hair stylist at the Newport Pagnell Salon is fantastic with teenagers who like to keep on trend. Like Jamie who has a very similar hair cut to Harry Styles with long thick hair, a sweeping fringe and very choppy layers, the kind of haircuts that 16/17 year old teenage lads can roll out of bed and mess into shape. Stacey follows through with an innovative and unique colouring and Racoon Hair Extensions to complete a ‘one off’ show piece!

Saturday 2nd of February saw the trend for Soft Pinks & Greys through to Cerise & Platinum!

Tina’s client Alison, always a trend setter, wanted something new. A choppy, ace metric cut, with a long fringe, moved up a gear by adding cerise pink and platinum to a dark brown base. The results were stunning! Alison is a special needs teacher from a school in Milton Keynes and was delighted with the results; see the finished style on our Facebook page.

“Thanks Alison, 17 years as a loyal client and you always let me go overboard with artistic interpretation!”

Bee’s client Val, again loves to take inspiration from the catwalk. Bee went through an in-depth consultation and the pair came up with ‘The Raspberry Ripple’

We cannot think of a better way of injecting some colour into February, thank you to our customers for letting us use your photos.

Remember to always use Wella SP Colour Save Collection to maintain your colour and for adding shine and protection we always finish off with Moroccanoil.
