Top 5 STAND-OUT Colours for this Autumn

With a team bursting with creative talent and Master Colour Experts, we’ve seen a fair few colour shake-ups in the salon this month.

We’ve collated our top 5 trending colours for your Autumn inspo needs, whether they give you some direction for your next visit, or inspire you to replicate the whole look, feel free to save these as a reference to show our fearless stylists! 🥊

ROYAL RASPBERRY

Royal Raspberry could easily be our favourite colour this autumn. Created by our Style Director Jon, it strays completely from your usual autumn colours but is still a hue that’s synonymous with the season. A deeper burgundy at first glance, with flashes of shocking raspberry underneath. Looking fresh. 🍃

 

PUMPKIN SPICE

Some more trend-setting from our Style Director Jon, this multi-tonal honey blonde is a perfect autumn colour that will take you flawlessly into winter months. Whether with peachy cheeks or a bold red lip, this colour gives off that naturally sophisticated autumnal vibe (we just wouldn’t be able to resist styling this colour with big bouncy curls). 🍯🎃

AUTUMN ROSE

Dark natural roots melt into slices of vibrant rosy-copper for a luxurious unique take on autumn hair. Salon Team Leader Conna-Rae isn’t a stranger to the rosy-copper masterpiece – we knew it would take off when he created it on a chic wavy bob earlier this year. 🌹🍂

MOLTEN OMBRE

This one is hot. For a low maintenance splash of colour why not go for this molten copper ombre? This molten look is a low maintenance alternative for someone who likes to shake things up for autumn and doesn’t want the commitment; or for our darker clients this can be a great start for a gradual transition into a blonde summer balayage! Created by style director Jon. 🌋

RED OPIUM

The trick with luxury deep reds is all in the roots. By deepening this look with a dark root smudge, we’ve amped up the dimension and turned this rich red into a colour that’s even more envy worthy. ♥️🖤

 

👻NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED!👻

Whilst the above colours are absolutely gorgeous, we’ve recently been creating some amazing and even more vibrant looks in the salon. 👨‍🎤 Duo-tones and colour flashes are edgy and on trend for spooky month… if you dare.🦇🦇🦇

19th July Post-Lockdown Notice

Hello you lovely people! 🌼🌼🌼

As you’re all aware by now, on the 19th July the Government will mark the final stage of easing lockdown restrictions, but what does that mean for your visit to the salon? 🤔

Whilst we acknowledge that masks are no longer a legal requirement, the Government has asked us all to make an informed judgement on how to keep ourselves and others safe. Recently, Boris Johnson has stated that coronavirus “continues to carry risks for you and your family”, stating “we cannot simply revert instantly from Monday July 19 to life as it was before Covid,” and that to avoid regressing back to another lockdown we must have “a cautious approach”.

With this in mind we need to think long-term and be cautious, and encourage all our clients to continue to wear their masks when visiting the salon. We also request our team to do the same. We understand it’s not always comfortable (especially on hotter days), but we also have to consider the safety and comfort of all our clients, especially those in high risk groups! 💞

Hand sanitiser, cleaning of stations, and dividers will remain as reassurance and comfort to you all. 

Thank you for all your support and understanding, we hope you’re all having an AMAZING summer and hopefully we can wave goodbye to this pandemic once and for all; your cooperation only gets us closer to the end! 🏁🏁🏁

 

P.S…

As the majority of you have experienced, we have been asking coronavirus questions prior to appointments:

  • In the past 7 days, have you experienced a new continuous cough?
  • In the past 7 days, have you experienced any change in/loss of your sense of taste or smell?
  • In the past 7 days, have you experienced a high temperature or fever?
  • Have you been in contact with anybody who has had these symptoms or who has tested positive for Covid-19?
  • For colour clients, have you tested positive to Covid-19 since your last appointment with us?

From 19th July, we put the responsibility on yourselves to please call us if your answer is ‘yes’ to any of these questions (on 0121 448 0760). 

**DID YOU KNOW – that we are open Sundays when we have the least amount of staff working, so if you are worried about attending busy places, then we recommend that book on a Sunday 🙂

🏳️‍🌈 PROUD TO BE SIXTH SENSE SALON 🏳️‍🌈

Now our 6S Pride event has been and gone, I spoke with our Salon Directors and Co-Founders Dean Robertson and Dean Vinning to hear their thoughts around the event…

  

🥳 What was the idea behind this event? 🥳

“It was a spontaneous idea really… we had a few members of staff who had booked to go to Birmingham Pride this summer, when we heard it had been postponed because of the pandemic we felt like we wanted to bring pride to the salon instead! Preparing for our very own 6S Pride gave the team something to be excited for, whilst giving our clients who attended on the day something fun to celebrate. The event also gave us the opportunity to bring some positive news to our awesome loyal clients who weren’t booked in on the day, but cheered us on and supported online”

🌈 What happened at the event? 🌈

“From rainbow flags to rainbow straws; if it had a rainbow we bought it! Our amazing stylist Amy showed off her balloon arch skills as rainbow balloons welcomed our clients into the salon, whilst our Front of House played a pride playlist especially made for the day. Our stylists were dressed in fabulously camp gear (shout out to Jon who had to get a very public train home that evening in his hot pants!) and drinks were flowing whilst we celebrated in style.”

🤔 What about COVID guidelines? 🤔

“We know we know, there’s still a pandemic (sigh). But who said we couldn’t still have fun?! Masks were still worn, sanitiser was still used, stations were still sterilised and in a bid to be safe with our drinks we had enough canned cocktails to sink a ship!”

😊 Will it be making a reoccurrence? 😊

“I did an Instagram poll on our stories and a lot of you guys loved it! I think we may have started something that will be around for a long time… maybe next year a pride week? Who knows, but it’ll definitely be back for a day or two in 2022 at least!”

✨ Is there anything you’d like to share? ✨

“Just that we are so grateful for all the client loyalty and support we have received lately, our salon seems to attract some of the best people, and we couldn’t be any happier with our close and extended 6S Family!”
