Feather Extensions

Feather Extensions from Fine Featherheads in America are made from real feathers. All prices include installation which is done with a silicon link. They can be curled, straightened, washed & blow dried like normal hair as long as you don’t iron too close to the link. We recommend you get them moved up on your […]

Growing Your Hair?

Before I started hairdressing I used to think that the advice given by hairdressers to get regular trim when you are growing your hair was a load of rubbish! It didn’t make sense, how does cutting your hair make it longer? It sounded like a sales pitch for the hair stylist to get me to […]

Anyone with curly or wavy hair knows how much of a nightmare it can be to style. What start out as beautifully formed curls, slowly dries into a frizzy mess, leaving you running for the straighteners or a hair tie. However, with a little bit of help from us at Live & Let Dye and […]

90’s Grunge Revival in 2013

Who remembers the 90’s…Nirvana, Friends, Drew Barrymore with daisy’s in her hair. A lot of my favourite music came out of the 90’s so I’m very excited that 90’s Grunge is making a comeback this year. Of course it will have an updated twist so we don’t all end up looking like Courtney Love but […]
