New Products!

We are proud to be able to announce the launch of a new (and fantastic) Kerastase product, Kerastase Cristalliste. Reed Hair is proud to be able to stock this newest addition to the Kerastase collection product range.

Designed to meet the needs of savvy young hair-proud women, the launch of Cristalliste sees the birth of a new generation of accessible luxury hair care. Hair is a girl’s main accessory; the better it looks the more confident she feels.

Luminous, healthy, weightless and ultimately beautiful hair is synonymous with a girl’s hair needs and Kérastase’s new Cristalliste range promises to deliver just that.

The range has three products: BAIN CRISTAL, an ultra-light  shampoo which creates luminous, airy, free flowing and shimmering hair, the LAIT CRISTAL, a conditioner which softens, loosens and lightens the fibre to improve the hair’s natural luminosity and the LUMIERE LIQUIDE, which produces instant shine throughout the length of hair.

Please do ask your stylist to try this beautiful new product on your hair!

This encourages them to think outside the box, look at different techniques and bring their new creations to life on models at the Reed Hair Salon. It’s a great Team Building day and the apprentices’ get to learn a lot about fashion and styles from the past which can be revamped with a modern twist.

We put all that research into practice yesterday (16th January) and they produced “mood boards” in their training session to use in their colouring techniques. You can find out more about the team on the Team Page.
