WESTROW CELEBRATES A LOVELY JUBILEE 25 YEARS IN BUSINESS

Directors of the Westrow hairdressing group, Marc Westerman and Steve Rowbottom, celebrated 25 years in business on 1 April 2012 – 25 years to the day that they opened their first salon in the Victoria Quarter in Leeds. To mark the occasion, the directors held a huge celebratory event for staff, industry names and members of the press at the opulent setting of Aspire in Leeds. The night was a true celebration of the businesses longevity and evolution through a tough financial climate over the years, but one that has seen the brand survive two recessions, while expanding to seven salons with more than 100 staff. The brand is focusing on further expansion plans, with an academy and three more salons in the immediate pipeline.

“Celebrating 25 years in business is a wonderful feeling,” says director Marc Westerman. “We have been through some tough financial times over the years, but have stayed strong, which is testament to our enduring business partnership and vision for the brand.”

“Recognising our loyal staff and franchisees at our event was very important to us,” continues Steve Rowbottom. “They have been with us every step of the way. Some of our staff have been with us for 20 years, and have evolved as the business has grown, and for that we are truly grateful.”

The night started with a champagne reception sponsored by Kerastase, with canapés including Yorkshire’s finest fish and chips. Guests were then treated to a retrospective of Westrow’s finest moments throughout the last 25 years, as well as an insight into the future of the brand. The party then truly got started with Ibiza favourite, nightclub percussionist Michael Fish ensuring guests could party through until the early hours. 

THE NEW BOB

"The new bob makes a strong statement for Spring/summer as fashion becomes looser and more unfinished. Shorter sexier hair shows off the beauty of the face and gives perfect femininity whilst being easy to maintain. The bob perfectly frames the face accentuating cheekbones and the curved fringe makes the eyes pop. Think shiny, healthy sexy hair when looking towards Spring/Summer.

"The bob is timeless and always looks beautiful as it can be worn in a variety of different ways always depending on time and your mood!"

And the Winners Are....

The affluent up-do

The affluent up-do

• Work a boosting spray, such as L'Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Volume Expand Root Lift Spray £9.95 through damp hair, then lift and smooth it with a dryer and large round brush like the ghd Ceramic Vented Radial Brush, £12.75, getting as much root lift as possible.
• Using the same brush, smooth the hair back away from the face and use your fingers to loosely wrap the hair under itself at the nape of the neck. This look involves hiding the length so it’s perfect for shorter styles.
• Fix in place with kirby grips inside the looped hair so they remain hidden. Use fingers to pull the hair into place making it even on each side and to add extra volume.
• If necessary, use a tail comb to add a touch of extra height at the crown, but leave the sides as they are to avoid creating a rigid shape with the hair.
• Allow stray hairs to come free. This will keep it from looking too mature. Fix with a strong hold hairspray such as ghd Final Fix Hairspray, £8.45.
