Pay R150 for a hair-makeover by stylist Eric Muller at Redlands Hair and Beauty, valued at R300 (save 50%)

If the Mona Lisa had been painted by the guy that designed the Eiffel Tower, she probably would have had grey skin, one eye and wires instead of hair. If Picasso had built the Brooklyn Bridge, you’d probably have to drive in geometric, concentric circles to get from one side to the other. If a haircut for you means sitting on a bar-stool in front of the bathroom mirror with a dull pair of scissors, rather let the experts take care of it and get a hair-makeover by stylist Eric Muller, including cut and blow-dry and Davines Nou Nou Pak treatment at Redlands Hair and Beauty for R150.

Every girl on the street isn’t walking around in shoulder-pads and parachute pants anymore and it’s not every day you see a real mullet. Fashions and trends are constantly changing and everyone needs to change their personal style once in a while. Eric Muller at Redlands Hair and Beauty is the perfect man to help you along on your journey to a look fresher than the fruit you can buy from the guy you usually see standing at the robots with bags of pears.

For many of the same reasons you should brush your teeth, you should get your hair cut often. Whether it’s just a trim to get rid of those nasty split-ends or the creation of an entirely new look, not only will it keep your hair looking good, it’s also good for your hair’s health, keeping it healthy and growing properly instead of abandoning your head in favour of throwing a party on your hairbrush. Your teeth aren’t likely to get split-ends like your hair does, but a good brushing (like a good haircut) will keep them healthy, looking good and free of any frizzy fuzziness.

Of course, just like trekking through the desert in the height of summer can leave skin the blistery red of deep-fried lobster, the various flat-irons, hair-dryers and general styling that hair is subjected to on an almost daily basis can leave it begging for mercy. It can become stressed, dry and brittle, losing all the bounce and shine of its younger years.  Davines Nou Nou Pak is the perfect solution for moisturising and nourishing your abused locks, almost like giving them a sugary treat to say thank you for putting up with years of hairspray and alice-bands. Enriched with Olive Butter and Cherry and Jojoba oils, this intensive repair mask will hydrate, nourish and generally just give your hair a pep-talk, perking it up and getting it ready to face another day.

The entire hair-adventure is topped off with a blow-dry which will have you leaving Redlands with a confident skip in your step and your hair shining with the healthy glow of the freshly pampered.

Hair Fact: A bottle of shampoo recently sold for almost as much as you’d expect to pay for an original Van Gogh. The hair-tonic, dating back to the third century seems to contain mostly chips of charred wood and an extremely rare herb known colloquially as Charn’s Drawers.
