Ocean Waste Plastic

11/2/2018

 
Picture
KEVIN.MUPRHY are committed to reducing plastic in the best way we know how: by cleaning up our oceans and reclaiming that plastic to package their hair products. The bottles will be made from 100% recycled ocean plastics in an effort to create a circular supply chain. In doing so, KEVIN.MUPRHY will be the first ever beauty brand to implement this practice, through which they project to save over 360 tons of new plastic each year. Their recycled bottles will begin debuting globally in salons in mid-2019.

“This change is for the future of our environment and for us to be truly sustainable – to clean up our oceans for the sake of our planet and for future generations.” – Kevin Murphy
Every minute, one garbage truck full of plastic is dumped into our oceans, which has led to over 5 trillion pieces of plastic currently littering our beautiful waters. Every piece of plastic that has ever been made – ever – is still here on our planet, and currently only 9% of our world’s plastics are recycled.

As part of Kevin Murphy's brand commitment to The Choices We Make, their latest initiative is a reflection of their unwavering attention to our environment through everything we do, and is an urgent call to action to help protect our oceans and marine life. Through this new initiative, they're aiming to change the industry standard on packaging and start an industry-wide conversation about the heart of the issue: safe packaging disposal, and a commitment to keeping our planet beautiful.

Introducing RETOUCH.ME – A root touch-up spray for instant & seamless concealing!

Picture
For those of us that have grey roots or any roots for that matter, look no further!

Kevin.Murphy, our product line of choice here at The Parlour, has just released an incredible new product called ReTouch.Me – a root touch up spray has just been released this month! With four shades in the range: BLACK, DARK BROWN, LIGHT BROWN and AUBURN, there are a variety of multi-tonal options to blend away grey and hide unsightly roots.

RETOUCH.ME’s micro-fine pigments blend flawlessly with each shade to conceal regrowth with no flakiness or residue, blurring and concealing without damaging existing color.
Speaking to his inspiration behind the product, stylist and brand founder, Kevin Murphy, said, “In today’s world, we live busy lives – professionally and personally – and we must be ready at a moment’s notice to ‘put our best foot forward’. A few quick spritzes of this root touch-up spray send micro-fine, light reflecting pigments to any new growth. These will attach to your hair fibres for a covert and fast solution to conceal regrowth at the roots.”

The new spray is made up of a lightweight mixture of ingredients designed to instantly and seamlessly blend when applied to regrowth. Orange Peel Oil and Tangerine Peel Oil help provide shine to the hair; Cationic Polymers allow the pigments to adhere while also providing protection and a natural lustre; and Vitamin E keeps pigments true to colour in and out of the can over time.

RETOUCH.ME is sulphate and paraben-free, and available at The Parlour for just £23.00!

Celebrating Our First Anniversary!

8/6/2017

 
The Parlour Hair Boutique is built on the ideals of self-expression and collaboration.
​We are dedicated to creating a genuine and welcoming environment that cares for every style and personality.
​The relationships we build are as important as the hair itself.
​
- The Parlour
The Parlour has turned one! Pursuing our dream was one of those things that just happened somewhere along seeing an empty unit come available at the right time and asking ourselves: Could we create something unique? Before we knew it we had thrown ourselves into a long and sometimes difficult labour, gratefully collecting supporters and helpers along the way, until finally The Parlour was born.

From the get-go we knew we had to build more than just a place for people to get their hair done. We had an inkling we could create something so much more valuable: a retreat. A place where hairstylists have the freedom to pursue creativity endlessly. A place where clients are made to feel like they belong and will be served with the utmost care and skill. An environment of sharing, collaborating and simply having a lot of fun. 
​
We are so proud of the incredible year behind us. To our clients, we cannot thank you enough. Thank you for coming on this journey with us, and here’s to many more years together!

The Parlour sponsors book resource for local school

1/8/2017

 
​Children in New Milton Junior School will learn about internet safety thanks to a local community conscious business.
 
The Parlour Hair Boutique on Christchurch Road in New Milton has sponsored a class with educational books for New Milton Junior School.
 
Children at the school will now use the books and educational resources to teach them about Internet Safety and Cyber Bullying as well as the dangers of social media, on-line gaming and the importance of keeping their personal information safe.
 
The book, Caught in the Web, is part of the Barney and Echo series and also comes with educational resources aimed at providing fun and interactive ways for primary school children to learn about important social issues. The series is published by the Police Community Clubs of Great Britain; an organisation set up by serving and retired police officers to help provide a safer life and inclusion to disadvantaged children.
 
“Molly West and Shane Kellard are proud to have been involved with this important community initiative,” they said.
 
“It has been great to be able to contribute and support our local children’s education by sponsoring the Caught in the Web books. We would like to wish all the children good luck as they work through the educational resources.”
 
Kelly Griffiths is the Barney and Echo books UK project director.
 
“The Police Community Clubs of Great Britain would like to thank all local community-minded businesses who have backed this school campaign- without them many children would be without this vital educational resource,” she said.
