Westrow Style for Haven Breast Cancer

The Westrow Artistic Team recently styled the hair at the Haven Breast Cancer Charity Event in Yorkshire.

Held at the 18^th Century Oulton Hall in Leeds, employees from First Direct walked the runway in order to raise money for the Haven charity in Leeds, of which Prince Charles has been a patron since 2000.

The charity offers support and help to those whose lives which have been touched by breast cancer, and promotes integrated healthcare specifically designed to support people through their breast cancer treatment.

On the night, Westrow styled the hair of 15 models who strutted their stuff on the catwalk in front of more than 250 guests. A raffle on the night, along with donations at the event and online, raised a grand total of £5,000 for the worthy cause.

Creative Director of the Westrow Artistic Team, Steve Rowbottom, said, “Styling at the First Direct Fashion Show to help raise funds for The Haven was a wonderful opportunity for the Westrow Artistic Team to give something back. The Haven is an incredible initiative and we look forward to continuing our work with our chosen charity in the future.”

Treble up for Matthew

WESTROW’S MATTHEW SUTCLIFFE ANNOUNCED AS MEMBER OF THE PRESTIGIOUS 2013 FELLOWSHIP FOR BRITISH HAIRDRESSING FAME TEAM

Westrow’s award-winning Artistic Director, Matthew Sutcliffe, from Westrow 18 Thornton’s Arcade in Leeds was named as one of only four stylists to make it as a member of the 2013 Fellowship for British Hairdressing FAME Team.

Only four stylists are selected each year by an esteemed judging panel of industry experts to become part of the industry-renowned team. This dynamic new FAME Team was revealed at the Fellowship for British Hairdressing’s Luncheon and Awards, which took place at London’s exclusive Dorchester Hotel on 3^rd December.

The Fellowship Academy of Merit and Excellence is an annual initiative that was created to nurture, encourage and promote an elite group of young, up-and-coming talented hairdressers in all aspects of the industry. Offering unique exposure and a possible platform to future stardom, the FAME Team is the UK hairdressing’s original, and still the best, independent launch vehicle for young creative stylists.

To date 67 young hairdressers have experienced FAME including subsequent British Hairdresser of the Year Umberto Giannini, Antoinette Beenders and Lisa Shepherd.

The team will be in the experienced hands of industry mentors throughout 2013 including Bruce Masefield, UK Creative Director, Sassoon, who will take on the role of Artistic Director and The Fellowship for British Hairdressing’s Hairdresser of the Year, Bruno Marc Giamattei of Marc Antoni, who will act as FAME Team Manager.

The announcement was the culmination of an incredible year artistically for Matthew, who won the 2012 L’Oreal Colour Trophy in May with Lauren Elliott from Westrow West Park as well as the 2012 IT Guy at the Creative HEAD It List awards. His entry into the 2013 FAME team is a hat trick of success for a stylist destined for the top and it’s clear that Matthew is now well on his way to industry acclaim.

Westrow Director, Steve Rowbottom, said: “Matthew has had an amazing year that most stylists could only dream of. Winning the 2012 L’Oreal Colour Trophy and 2012 IT Guy award this year ensured the hairdressing industry recognised Matthew really is one to watch, but to become a member of the prestigious 2013 FAME Team really is the icing on the cake. His hat trick of success this year is testament to his creativity and skill and he will be waving the Westrow flag throughout his hairdressing experiences as part of the FAME team in 2013.”

The New AW12 Westrow Magazine is out!

Welcome to the Autumn/Winter 2012/13 edition of the Westrow magazine – and what a year it’s been! After the excitement of celebrating our 25 years in business in April we have been on a rollercoaster ride of award wins that have kept the Westrow flag flying high throughout our Silver Jubilee year. As a result, this is a dedicated awards issue to highlight and profile the top creative and business talent within the company. Check out Westrow West Park’s
L’Oréal Colour Trophy win; Matthew Sutcliffe’s ITGuy win; Laura Procter’s Franchisee of the Year
award win and our own Business Directors of the Year win. Alongside this there are still three awards
to be announced, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed for more trophies to add to the list. Winning these awards isn’t so we can boast about them. Yes they are amazing accolades, but they couldn’t
be achieved without the dedication, thought and creativity that has been channeled into each entry by our amazing team of super stylists and creative minds behind the business. Each win ensures you can be assured that Westrow really does offer you the best in business and creativity. We have always strived to set ourselves apart from our competitors with our values and beliefs – everything is about preparing for today, which in turn allows us to plan for tomorrow. We are proactive and reactive and
understand about the perception of the business and how it is perceived and received and ultimately, we have never diversified from our original thought process 25 years ago, which is quality over quantity every time.

Happy reading!

Westrow's New Tempting Winter Service Menu
Westrow offers clients some hair rehab this season with its new winter service menu offering
There’s a whole host of tempting treats on the autumn/winter service menus at Westrow this season. The brand, which has seven salons across Yorkshire and is a regular backstage at LFW, has taken reference from the key hair looks at the A/W12/13 shows to offer clients some seasonally-inspired sweet treats when it comes to caring for their hair. Offering Kerastase Fusio-Dose rituals, a bespoke conditioning ritual that involves a prescriptive fusion of ingredients, Westrow has ensured every client’s haircare dilemma is tended to, and the brand has come up with enticing names to tempt. Each two-phase prescriptive ritual includes a double shampoo, before an intensive conditioner is sprayed into the hair and massaged in with a long, luxurious scalp and neck massage. These service menu additions – priced between £13-£16 – are displayed, menu-style, at every styling station, and are also displayed on the brand’s in-salon TVs, which every client can see from their chair. Looks like Westrow is definitely one to watch!

WHAT’S ON THE MENU?

THE SNOWBALL: Give thirsty locks the drink they deserve – and if they’re really dry, we might make yours a winter cocktail!

WINTER WARMER: If your hair is weakened through colour or the harsh winter weather add some super strength with anti-breakage conditioners.

STAR SHINE: Protect coloured tresses and add some serious shine to your style this winter season.

AGE IS JUST A NUMBER: perfect for mature locks, this treatment means you don’t have to act your age, and neither does your hair!
