Training for our Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge began a few weeks ago with some the team, including the pooches, heading up to Moel Famau after work on some of the hottest days of the year so far. But training can't happen with out the odd injury, first up was Jolene and a sprained ankle!
On Sunday 6th August the team and friends will be taking on The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge.
We want to do this for Cancer Research for so many reasons. We have all had family members, friends, work colleagues and clients that have been affected by cancer and we want to support Cancer Research with the amazing work that they do.
Now most of you will know that we aren't the fittest bunch (except Emma who smashes marathons) so you know how hard this is going to be for us all.... but you never know, this year the Yorkshire 3 Peaks, next year Mount Kilimanjaro!
So please dig deep, support this great cause and wish us luck for our challenge!
Our client Sarh came in for the chop. A new textured bob and fringe for her!
Jolene and Jemma worked with OM and AH London last weekend on images for their new Yoga wear that will be out soon.
Its a tough job for our assistants but someones got to do it!
We now are the proud owners of a load of Davines products for us to use and for you to buy. Again like the other products we use here at VAIN - NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS #crueltyfree
Jolene looked after actress Claire Cooper when she came in this week. One of the reasons Claire loves VAIN is that none of the colours or products we use here are tested on animals and so are cruelty free.
There were a lot of sore heads and lost voices the day after but Christmas 2016, we came, we saw and we conquered!
Our clients bring us the best gifts from their Holidays, one client even commented that it was the best Fani she'd ever tasted! #ourclientsarebetterthanyours
Some of the team spent the weekend getting inspiration from them streets of London and nipped into Salon International whilst they were there...
One of our fave colours to come out of the salon this week.

Well what fun we had.
We met some super cool DJs, Heidi, Yousef, Hannah Wants and Lil Rockit and covered people in glitter, braided all day long AND we danced. We would like to say a massive thank you to the Creamfileds team for having us, putting us up in a cool space and looking after us. And a big thank you to Danny and Co barbers and Tariq for working along side us and being our partners in crime.
Take a look at what we got up to...
Festival season came around super fast and we were ready for it!
It was a great year working along side some brilliant stylists from Chester, Stephen, Joe, Emily, Lauren and Stacey. We also had the the opportunity to work with one of the best barbers in the country, Danny Robinson of Danny & Co Barbers. This year we styled some great artists including Katy B and her dancers and SIA's manager. The team were lucky enough to be invited onstage for SIAs set and hang out with some of the guys from Travis and met Stormzy and Craig David.
We would like to say a massive thanks to Rekorderlig Cider, Paul Mitchell, Denman and Oster Pro for there generous support.

What a night we had. Cocktails on arrival supplied by Zanzi Bar then a little step over to Mr Squiffy where they were handing out jammie dodger shots and then upstairs where Jolene blew everyones head off with her special sangria. As you can imagine everyone had a great time! Over 70 brides and grooms and bridesmaids walked danced and chatted to the exhibitors. Here to the next one!
