About: soulhair

Soul Hair hairdressers have salons both in the historic city of Chester and nearby Tarporley. Year on year, they have a growing list of regular clients, both men and women of all ages who have made Soul Hair their number one choice!

Hairdressers differ from many other retail businesses in that, though important, convenience with regards to proximity isn’t too important. Put differently, choices of hairdressing salons are not chosen merely because they are close to where people live. People are prepared (and most of us do) to bypass other salons closer to where we live, to get to the one we feel most comfortable with; the ones we like the best are the ones we go to.

How we look often relates to how we feel. Furthermore, how we look can impact, rightly or wrongly on others perceptions about what sort of person we are. In sum, looks are important and a great hair style can have a tremendous impact on the way we look.

A great haircut and/or style and/or colour is an important purchase, which is why people are willing to go out of their way to visit a salon they trust to do the best job for them!

There are many factors to bear in mind when distinguishing one salon from the next and what makes a salon a great salon. Here are some of them!

How does the salon look?

People like to spend their money on haircuts in a pleasant environment and the more pleasant it is, the better you feel when you are there. Soul Hair salons are tastefully decorated and furnished. Light, airy and contemporary, these salons look amazing.

As well as looking amazing, they are well equipped and meticulously clean. The staff are also well presented that all helps to make the experience of an appointment, that much more satisfying. We care about how we present ourselves to you as well as how we care for your hair.

How well are the staff trained?

Soul Hair takes staff training very seriously. As well as the obligatory qualifications that allow for a person to work at a salon, Soul Hair staff regularly undertakes in-house training. This is done periodically and throughout the year allowing for continual growth and development of all our stylists and colourists.

Continual in house developmental training is not all we provide. Many of our stylists also undertake post qualifying higher level and recognised courses externally, leading to further qualifications.

For example, some of our staff have undertaken and passed the Wella Master in Colour award. This qualification is the highest colourist qualification it is possible to attain. It is equivalent to a university degree and covers all the latest developments in the art and science and safety issues concerning hair colour.

Graduates of the Wella Master in colour qualification get the opportunity to attend the Wella annual colour congress event. Here, graduate colourists get to learn about the latest colours available even before they become available on the general market. They see style examples from the best stylists in the country and other groundbreaking techniques and developments. This of course is fed down to the other staff during in-house training.

The fact that our staff are so highly trained benefits our clients. It is not something we have to do but something we insist on doing. Soul Hair believes high level training manifests in high levels of service and our expanding list of clients bear testimony to the strategies success.

With discreet, contemporary décor, the interior achieves a feeling of being fresh and relevant and you know you are somewhere classy as soon as you step in through the doors.

The décor matches soul Hairs aim of attracting an eclectic mixture of male and female clients.
Highly trained and friendly staff

Soul Hair has a combination of good service and knowledgeable staff. This is what you want and what you get at Soul Hair salons.

Soul Hair put a huge emphasis on ensuring their staff are highly trained. Beyond the required hairdressing qualifications, all staff undergoes continual in house training. The aim of this is to ensure continual improvement and individual growth through updating skills and learning the latest techniques, applications and product knowledge.

Staff also undergoes accredited high level qualifications! For example, many of our staff has undertaken the Wella Master in Colour award for colourists. Equivalent to a university degree, this remains the highest colourist qualification attainable.

Those who get this qualification attend the Wella annual colour congress. Here, they have access to world class stylists and new colours before they become available to the general public. This information is fed down to the other staff and naturally benefits the clients.

Our staff are friendly, helpful and polite. The salon offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble and they go out of their way to make you feel special and pampered. Highly trained professionals both advise and listen to what you want and expectations are often surpassed, not just met!

Great stylists

Many of our stylists not only enter competitions, but do well in them. Styling hair is not just a job for them, it’s a passion. Soul Hair hires staff that are passionate about styling and colouring hair.

It’s not about their egos though; it is about making you look the best you can. This means whatever ideas (or ego) our stylists have, they’ll put them aside if they won’t make you look and feel beautiful. It’s a refreshing approach, one that means you won’t end up with an asymmetrical bob and a blunt-cut fringe – unless, of course, that’s a look you can totally rock.

Whether you’re a young twenty something, a glamorous thirty-something, a high powered professional, man about town or yummy mummies we have the look and colour you need!

Soul Hair salons are an environmentally aware organisation.

Environmental issues are increasingly recognized as an important factor in consumer choices. By partnering with Aveda and supporting and implementing environmentally aware buying and working practices, we do our bit to make the world a better place.

Environmental health and safety

Soul Hair source most of their hair care products from Aveda. Aveda are a hair products manufacturer and distributer that are at the forefront of environmentally aware products and have been so for much longer than many other manufacturers. For example, Aveda is proud to be recertified as a MNSTAR workplace. But what is this? “MNSTAR, the Minnesota Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MNOSHA) Program, recognizes worksites where managers and employees work together to develop safety and health management systems that go beyond basic compliance with all applicable OSHA standards and result in immediate and long-term prevention of job-related injuries and illnesses.

To achieve MNSTAR status, Aveda’s management and employees worked with MNOSHA’s Workplace Safety Consultation to identify and eliminate current or future safety hazards. Key elements of this comprehensive program include: management leadership and employee involvement; an allocation of resources to address safety issues; systems that identify and control workplace hazards; and a plan for employee safety training and education.”

Cradle to cradle

In support of our mission “to care for the world we live in” Aveda has embraced the Cradle to Cradle (C2C) concept and philosophy as a key element of acting responsibly. “The Cradle to Cradle framework moves beyond the traditional goal of reducing the negative impacts of commerce (‘eco-efficiency’), to a new paradigm of increasing its positive impacts (‘eco-effectiveness’). MBDC has developed a white paper that compares the approach of eco-efficiency (or minimization) and a more comprehensive, sustaining approach that integrates eco-efficiency within the larger eco-effective goal of optimization. At its core, Cradle to Cradle design perceives the safe and productive processes of nature’s ‘biological metabolism’ as a model for developing a ‘technical metabolism’ flow of industrial materials. Product components can be designed for continuous recovery and reutilization as biological and technical nutrients within these metabolisms.

 Eliminate the concept of waste. “Waste equals food.” Design products and materials with life cycles that are safe for human health and the environment and that can be reused perpetually through biological and technical metabolisms. Create and participate in systems to collect and recover the value of these materials following their use.

 Power with renewable energy. “Use current solar income.” Maximize the use of renewable energy.

 Respect human & natural systems. “Celebrate diversity.” Manage water use to maximize quality, promote healthy ecosystems and respect local impacts. Guide operations and stakeholder relationships using social responsibility.”

Aveda cares

Over the past decade, we’ve partnered with nonprofit organizations whose work supports our commitment to social and environmental improvement.

Renewable energy

Aveda supports the development of renewable wind energy to help offset our carbon footprint over time. We are proud to be the first beauty company manufacturing products with 100% certified wind power**.

Packaging with plastics derived from plants

Aveda were the first prestige beauty company to combine PCR and bioplastics in a plastic tube.

Earth and community care report

In 1989, they were the first privately held company to sign the CERES Principles (Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies). Today, we continue to strive to improve our practices and commit to publicly sharing our results.

Our ingredient promise

At Aveda, The Art and Science of Pure Flower and Plant Essences, we believe that Nature is the best beauty artist of all. This is why we continually strive to increase our use of naturally derived ingredients whenever possible.

Naturally Derived

We define naturally derived ingredients to be those for which more than 50% of the molecule comes from a plant, non-petroleum mineral, water, or some other natural source. Our commitment to deliver high performance, botanically-based products that are kinder to the planet – which is good for all of us — goes much deeper than our use of naturally derived
ingredients.

Sandalwood from Western Australia 

Sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) oil is a key ingredient found in many of Aveda’s own aroma blends, providing a rich, woody depth with polished smooth notes that create an air of complexity and mystery in many of our beloved skin, body and hair care products.

Cistus from Spain

Spanish cistus extract is essential to aveda—like the people who harvest this certified organic plant. Our relationships with local andalucian village inhabitants have helped create an earth-friendly cistus practice.

Argan from morocco

Moroccan women are saving the argan tree from the encroaching desert. They help them determine their future, and protect the trees upon which they depend.

Get a boost from the acacia

Sacred in ancient Mesopotamia, the acacia tree is a centuries-old source of nourishment and beauty. Our scientists discovered that the gum of the acacia tree is also a natural thickener, perfect for fine hair. Aveda purchases acacia gum to help thicken and volumize fine hair.

Buriti from Brazil

We use oil from the Buriti tree also known as oil from the tree of life.

Ayurvedic roots of turmeric and amla

We get turmeric—known for its effectiveness in ayurveda—from the Indian firm nisarga (which means “nature” in Sanskrit). Our partnership with nisarga is helping them to convert more farmland to organic—which is better for the earth, the farmers—all of us.

Ingredient sourcing

Please journey with us to trace Aveda’s ingredients back to the farm or harvesting co-operative. We call it Soil to Bottle, and we do it to ensure fair compensation throughout the process.

Aveda develops close working partnerships with certain communities and/or suppliers and seeks to use them as our primary source for specific ingredients. We frequently reference these relationships in our promotional materials. However, sometimes due to conditions beyond our control (e.g., drought, pests, and capacity limitations) these communities and/or suppliers are unable to meet our needs for an ingredient, including being unable to supply some or all of it. When such situations occur, Aveda uses additional suppliers to provide high-quality alternative sources until we are able to resume sourcing from the primary supplier.

If so, Soul Hair Salon in Chester is likely one of your best options. If you are looking for a terrific colourist to colour your hair, or stylist to give you a stunning new look, we believe Soul Hair in Chester should be your number 1 choice

Why use a professional hair colourist?

You may not be surprised to hear that many people don’t in Chester or anywhere else! Off the shelf hair colour products are plentiful, and many of us have tried them, or know someone who has. Our hair colourist(s) spend allot of time correcting badly coloured do it yourself attempts.

Trying to make yourself a home colourist is not only dangerous due to allergic reaction ns (we allergy test all our clients) but being a colourist is both an art and a science, so to achieve the best results is not as easy as the advertising suggests.

The beautiful colour you see on the models hair, advertising these hair colour products have not of course been achieved by the model, but a professional hair colourist. This may seem obvious, but the colour we see on the models advertising home colour products is what initially draws us to the product.

In sum, to achieve the safest best results, do not attempt to do it yourself. Hire a professional hair colourist and if you live in or near Chester, Soul Hair salon has some of the best hair colourists in the region.

What makes a hair colourist a great hair colourist?

Not all hair colourists are the same. Like anywhere, Chester has some poor, mediocre, good and excellent hair colourists in its salons.

An excellent hair colourist will be first and foremost, highly trained, having undergone professional hair colourist training. They will be experienced in their craft, and well able to give sound colouring advice to their clients. They will be polite, friendly and professional and motivated in their given area of expertise.

It stands to reason, that a poor hair colourist will perform badly in all the aforementioned points. It is advisable therefore, to visit a good hair colourist to attain the best results, and Chester’s Soul Hair has some great colourist professionals.

Take one of our hair colourists, Sarah Stead for example!

Sarah Stead is a leading hair colourist based at our Chester salon. She has completed a Wella Master in Colour award from Wella’s colour congress course. This prestigious Wella qualification is the equivalent of a university degree and is the highest qualification a hair colourist can achieve, with few hair colourists in Chester having this qualification!

As a Wella Master in colour graduate, Sarah attends the annual Wella colour congress. Here, she gets to learn from some of Britain’s top colourists and stylists, and review the latest products before they are released onto the market. This knowledge is passed down to our other stylists and colourists, ensuring that our Chester salon is at the forefront of the latest trends, products and innovations. This in turn benefits our clients.

So if you are thinking of enhancing or changing your hair colour, so don’t try it at home! Book an appointment with a hair colourist, and if you want the best hair colourist in Chester, you know where to come!

That’s right; there is a terrific hair salon in Chester, and its here at Soul Hair!

Our salon is beautifully decorated in a contemporary style. Well equipped and with comfortable furnishings, you know you are somewhere you’re going to get pampered as soon as you enter through the doors.

With award winning hairdressers, you know your hair will look amazing having visited this Chester salon. There have a comprehensive of hair treatments and options for men and women.

A Chester hair salon that knows the value of training

Soul hair is a hair salon that puts training of its staff, at the top of their agenda. They know the importance of staff development and training.

All Soul Hair staff undertakes in-house training throughout the year, as well, of course, as being fully qualified hairdressers. Our hairdressers also have the opportunity to undertake external courses to aid their professional development.

Take our top colourist, Sarah Stead. She recently completed the Wella Master in Colour award. This prestigious award, is equivalent to a university degree, and is the highest qualification a colourist can attain. As a Wella Masters in Colour graduate, Sarah attends the Wella annual colour congress. Here, she gets the opportunity to learn from some of Britain’s top stylists and colourists, viewing the latest trends and learning about new hair products before they go out onto general release. The benefits to the other staff are that they get this information fed back to them during their in house training sessions. In a similar vein, the salon clients’ get the benefit of having their hair dressed, styled and coloured by hairdressers that are aware of the very latest styles and trends.

More amazing staff!

As well as Sarah Stead, our hair salon has numerous, highly trained, award winning and experienced colourists and stylists.

Take our artistic stylist, Tom Wright for example. As well as working for Chester’s Soul Hair, he works as a session stylist at the globally recognised event, the London fashion week. Under tremendous pressure, he works in difficult conditions to create amazing styles that complement the models modelling designer clothing. He has styled models, modelling for the critically acclaimed designer, Christopher Raeburn and many more.

Again, this knowledge, skill and experience benefit both the staff in terms of their in house training and our clients.

So if you care about your hair, and want to make the best of your looks, Soul Hair salon in Chester (and Tarporley) is a salon you can trust. Your hair will look amazing having been styled, permed, highlighted or coloured by our friendly, highly trained and professional salon staff. So if you live in or near the Chester or Tarporley areas, you know where to come. We look forward to seeing you!

Many of our customers have taken a ‘do it yourself’ approach to colouring and tinting or highlighting their own hair. Here at the Soul Hair salon, we’ve had allot of business, correcting at best mediocre, and at worst disastrous attempts at home hairdressing

Our advice is to visit a reputable hairdressing salon, rather than be taken in by the advertising on the home hairdressing products available. These home hairdressing products will show great looking models, showing off a terrific colour or perm for example. The problem is that these models have had their hair coloured by a top colourist from a top hairdressing salon. They have not, of course, done it themselves. This may seem obvious, but if we’re honest, we all at least know someone who has tried a hair colour themselves with awful results don’t we? This can even be a dangerous practise, without proper allergy testing and so on.

Many aspects of hairdressing are both an art and a science, and we should be aware, that the safest way to get the best results is to book an appointment with a good hairdressing salon, and not attempt these things ourselves.

What makes a hairdressing salon, a great hairdressing salon?

First and foremost, a great hairdressing salon with be staffed by great hairdressers. Soul hair’s hairdressing salon is staffed by highly trained, competent and skilled staff.

Our staff undergoes continual in house training, along with developmental external training courses to ensure they are trained in their area of expertise to the best possible standards. We have one colourist who has gained the Wella Master in Colour award. Equivalent to a university degree, this is the highest hairdressing hair colour award attainable. One of our hairdressing stylists styles hair for top fashion designers for the prestigious London Fashion week, as well as working at our salon. These are just a few examples of the high level of professionalism we both expect and encourage at our salon. There is few hairdressing salons that go to such lengths to ensure their staff are developed, as Soul Hair does.

Soul Hair is a hairdressing salon that you know is special as soon as you walk through their doors. Beautifully decorated in a modern, contemporary style, it’s a great salon to be in. As you sit down and relax in these wonderful surroundings, you are offered great quality teas and coffees.

Attentive, friendly and helpful salon staff is ready to advice, as well as the hairdressing services themselves.

So if you live in or near the Chester area, and beauty is important to you, you know which hair salon to visit, Soul Hair in Chester (or Tarporley).

Most of us visit hair salons a few times a year at least. A strange fact, in terms of our visits to hair salons is that unlike with many of our purchasing habits, we do not chose to go to our nearest hair salon. To explain, we seem more than willing to inconvenience ourselves, by choosing to visit the hair salons we like and trust, even if it means travelling that little bit further to get to them.

This tells us several things. Firstly, those hair salons are important to us, and secondly, we are willing to go out of our way to attend the salons we like.

Why is this? Well one reason is that many of us at least once in our life have visited a bad salon.

What makes a hair salons get a bad reputation?

Hair salons can get a bad reputation by being old fashioned, or scruffy unkempt environments. We all expect to get our hair done nicely in a nice place.

Other criticisms of bad hair salons are their having poorly trained or mediocre staff. Hair salons need highly trained professional staff, able to have the skills and confidence to implement great colours and styles, and advise appropriately. A hair salon may be too expensive, or not indulge us with those little extras that make your salon experience, and enjoyable one.

Hair salons are not in your bedroom or bathroom!

We’ve all seen the beautiful models on the packaging of home perm or colour products. As a result, if we’re honest, most of us have at one time or other attempted to emulate these models, or save a few pounds by attempting to colour, for example, our own hair at home. As a result, we have experienced at best mediocre results and at worst disasters. Our own homes are not hair salons, and few of us have the experience and skill to apply these colours well, or give ourselves great looking highlights or perms and so on.

The packaging models haven’t done these themselves either (of course). Naturally, top stylists and colourists have attended to them prior to the photographic advertising shoot. This may seem obvious, but a picture paints a thousand words and advertisers’ know this! Hair salons are not our own bedroom or bathroom and few of us have the skills and know how to give ourselves hair treatments. After all, we wouldn’t attempt to cut our own hair, so similarly, we shouldn’t attempt to colour, style or attempt anything else ourselves. Trial and error is all well and good but we cannot afford errors with our own looks, so do your hair a favour and leave it to the hair salons.

You want to visit a great hairdresser at a nice venue!

Chester is known to be a both historic, yet fashionable town. With a plethora of great looking boutiques and salons, it’s not easy to stand out in the crowd. However, Soul Hair salon in Chester manages to do this and do this well.

Comfortably and stylishly furnished and decorated in a unique yet contemporary way, Soul Hair looks and feels like a great place to be. Complementary teas and coffees are offered as you comfortably wait to be seen.

You want to see a highly trained, creative hairdresser!

A Hairdresser needs to be trained well, and Soul Hair recognises the fact that past their initial Hairdresser qualification the hairdressers gain from College, ongoing training and support is required.

Soul hair hairdressers undertake constant, ongoing in house training to aid their development as a hairdresser. Furthermore, they undertake post hairdresser qualification external courses and qualifications at specialist training centres.

For example, Soul Hair has a colourist named Sarah Stead. She has undertaken and passed a gruelling course held at Wella, namely the Wella Master Colour award. Equivalent to a university degree, this is the highest colourist qualification there is in the UK. It comprehensively covers all aspects of hair colouring, from the products, implementation and safe usage to the science behind hair colouring. This prestigious qualification ensures as a Wella graduate, she gets to attend their annual colour congress. Here, she gets to know the new exiting brands that are to be available before they get to the marker, and gain top insights from stylists and colour professionals who are guests at the congress. This information gets fed back to the other hairdressers and stylists, and consequently positively benefits the clients that come in to the salon.

Soul Hair employs great hairdressers’

For example, one of our artistic stylists, Tom Wright does other work outside of Soul Hair complements his work here, and benefits our customers. This hairdresser and stylist, does what few if any other Chester based hairdresser does. He works as a session hairdresser at well known fashion shows such as the London Fashion Week and many more. Only the very best stylists get to do this kind of work, and Tom is amazing at what he does. In tough conditions, he manages to create unique styles to suit the remit of a wide range of fashion designers who as you can imagine, are not easy to please. They expect, and get, the very best styles to suit their ranges and Tom manages this and manages it well.

Again, he is as a result, able to feedback what he’s learned and achieved in house, to give our other stylists the benefit of his experience which naturally benefits the Chester and Tarporley salon clients.

So if you want to visit a great hairdresser in Chester, you know you’re in the right place!
