Welcome to Mavericks, As April arrives, so does a real sense of change — longer days, lighter evenings, and the start of a new season.
With hayfever season beginning, we know this time of year can be challenging for many, which is why we continue to focus on creating a calm, clean salon environment — helping reduce irritation while keeping your hair and scalp feeling its best.
We’re also excited to introduce our new hayfever-reduction shampoo by SIM Finland, now in stock — specially designed to help stop pollen sticking to your hair, supporting a more comfortable hair experience during allergy season while keeping hair healthy and balanced.
This is the perfect time for a reset — whether it’s a fresh colour, a soft seasonal update, or simply taking time out for yourself. April is all about feeling lighter, healthier, and refreshed.
We’re so grateful to have you with us and look forward to welcoming you into the salon this month.
Thank you Sarah and team.
The Clean Air Concept in a Hairdressing Salon
A hairdressing salon is a place where creativity, care, and wellbeing come together. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to the quality of air inside salons, leading to the development of the clean air concept. This approach focuses on creating a healthier indoor environment for both clients and professionals by reducing airborne pollutants and improving overall air quality.
Why Clean Air Matters in Hairdressing Salons
Hairdressing salons use a variety of products such as hair dyes, bleaches, sprays, and treatments. These products can release chemicals, fine particles, and odors into the air. Over time, poor air quality may cause discomfort, headaches, allergies, or breathing irritation for staff and clients.
Clean air is especially important because:
Hairdressers are exposed to salon air for long working hours
Clients expect a comfortable and safe environment
Good air quality supports overall health and wellbeing
A fresh, odor-free salon improves the customer experience
Eirva Air Purification Systems
High-quality air purifiers with advanced filters can capture fine particles, dust, allergens, and chemical residues. This system specifically designed for salons and work quietly in the background.
Low-Emission and Eco-Friendly Products
We choose hair products with reduced chemical emissions, fewer strong fragrances, and more natural ingredients. These products release fewer pollutants into the air.
Regular Maintenance and Cleanliness
Clean tools, workstations, and floors prevent the buildup of dust and product residue. Proper storage and disposal of chemicals also reduce unnecessary air contamination.
Benefits for Clients and Professionals
Implementing a clean air concept offers many advantages:
A more comfortable and relaxing salon visit
Reduced exposure to strong smells and airborne chemicals
Improved focus and wellbeing for our team
A modern, responsible salon image that builds trust
Compliance with health and safety standards
Clean Air as Part of a Modern Salon Experience
Hair and scalp impurities are generally styling products residue and build up. Additionally to this however, hair absorbs minerals like copper, iron, magnesium and chlorine from water and Air. This can result in hair looking dull or even change colour of lighter shades. This SIM treatment will remove all minerals from your hair.
3 Part Treatment. Mineral Removing Treatment-Mineral Removing Elixir-Mineral removing Balm.
This treatment is designed for guests that are struggling with dry hair and scalp. The Balancing shampoo will gently cleanse hair and exfoliant the scalp. Reducing any irritation and itchiness. We then apply Oil cure scalp peel treatment that nourishes the scalp and again soothes itchiness and irritation. We then apply our Hydro care conditioner that will maintain hair natural moisture balance. Great for preventing colour fade and adding shine and manageability. Then finally we apply Moisture scalp lotion which we leave on your scalp , this soothes and moisturizes the scalp and apply Chitosan Hair repair to your hair which helps to rebuild and repair your hair.
Designed for people suffering with oily scalp and sensitive scalp, We start by using Shale oil shampoo which will cleanse and help balance the sebaceous gland. Keeps scalp moisture balanced. We then then apply scalp tonic as a leave in, which helps combat oily build up and improves microcirculation of the scalp. Then we finish with Chitosan Hair Repair to rebuild and repair hair damages and split ends.
Sensido Simplex bonder revives even the most damaged hair into beautiful, shiny and strong hair. The product will repair existing damage to both the hair internally and externally. The treatment will also help with colour endurance. It’s a two part treatment that is carried out at the styling section. We then finish with a hair condition to seal and moisture the hair.
Because we want all our regular guest to look their best all year round, we offer a in-between cut and blowdry free fringe trim service. This is a no appointment service, just walk in and wait for the next available stylist.But we have had some confusion concerning this service, so here we go; this is available only to regular guest of mavericks that have their hair cut and blow-dried every 6 to 9 weeks. The service is only available free between this time. The free fringe trim, is a trim, anymore than 10mm off is not a trim and will need a full paying fringe service. This is not an appointment service; appointments will be charged.
Our online booking is now up and running. Please go onto mavericks hair.co.uk website and follow the links. You can book all appointments with your favourite stylists.

We have had a lot of no shows over the winter period, so to safe guard our teams salaries and our business, we have adopted a new cancellation policy. If an appointment is not cancelled with 48 hours’ notice of the appointment time. We will then charge £10 for each treatment missed. This policy covers both hair and beauty treatments and is £10 per treatment so if you are booked in for a colour, cut and blow-dry that is two treatments so £20. Please be aware that this policy gives us 48 hours’ notice to rebook the appointment time, we have found that without 48 hours the appointment tends to not be taken. Please help us.
As you are all fully aware, our costs have been going up and up, we have made allowance for this, whilst maintaining our high standards of hair, beauty and customer service. But over the last few month, we have been hit by an increasing number of guests not arriving for their appointments, this gives us a loss in turnover,, as we still need to pay stylist wages when guest do not arrive. So as of February, we need to take control of this, and like most businesses that operate a appointment system for example restaurants, we will be introducing a deposit system on all appointments of £10 per appointment. Appointments can still be changed as long as we have 48 hours notice. If you change your appointment without 48 hours notice, or forget your appointment then you will loose your deposit.
These new fabulous hair extensions will enhance your look dramatically in a short space of time and make you look 100% glamorous 24/7! Heads will turn, so be prepared! We have a selection of colours available for you.
The effects last for up to four months, and will help guard against the environment and all the stresses it can put on your hair (think air conditioning, and frizz) FABRIQ Treatment strengthens, adds moisture and reduces frizz”, “It also makes your hair much quicker and easier to dry so you’ll have some extra time in the morning, It’s perfect for hair on the go, maximum results with minimal effort”. anti-humidity action will prevent moisture from entering the hair shaft, meaning less frizz and more smoothness
To ensure your and the team’s safety, we will continue to meet you at reception, and asking you to apply some hand sanitiser before entering the salon. Please continue wearing masks if you wish, and please ask your stylist to wear one if it will make you feel more comfortable. We will continue, when appropriate or available, to use every other styling section, and our Garage salon. Thank you for your continued support in this matter,
We prefer to work on freshly washed hair so that we can we get the best results, and a neater more precise haircut. It’s not possible to achieve this when the hair has already dried into a shape, and we can’t offer you a seven-day guarantee, but we can cut hair dry if you wish.
The first initial hair cut is on clean shampooed hair to remove any length and to create shape, the second part of the hair cut is done on dry hair, and this is when we personalise the cut. We do this by using advanced cutting techniques to remove weight and softening the ends with serration. This is an important part of the cut where we make sure the cut fits your face shape, hair type and take into account any growth patterns that can course issues.
Health Benefits of a Silent Haircut
A silent haircut is a salon service designed to minimize conversation, background noise, and sensory stimulation. This concept focuses on creating a calm and peaceful environment, allowing clients to relax while receiving professional hair care. Silent haircuts are becoming increasingly popular due to their positive impact on mental and emotional wellbeing.
Reduced Stress and Anxiety
Loud environments and constant conversation can be overwhelming for some people. A silent haircut provides a quiet space where clients can unwind, helping to reduce stress levels and promote relaxation during the appointment.
Mental Rest and Mindfulness
Silence allows the mind to slow down. Without the pressure to talk or respond, clients can enjoy a moment of mental rest, practice mindfulness, or simply be present in the moment. This can be especially beneficial for people with busy or demanding lifestyles.
Support for Sensory Sensitivities
Silent haircuts are particularly helpful for individuals with sensory sensitivities, including those who are sensitive to noise or social interaction. A quieter environment can make salon visits more comfortable and accessible.
Improved Emotional Wellbeing
Taking time for quiet self-care can improve mood and emotional balance. A silent haircut offers a respectful and judgment-free experience, helping clients feel safe, calm, and understood.
Reduced Social Pressure
Some clients find small talk tiring or uncomfortable. A silent haircut removes the expectation to engage in conversation, allowing clients to relax without feeling awkward or pressured.
Restorative Self-Care Experience
Silent haircuts transform a routine appointment into a restorative experience. The combination of quiet, gentle movement, and personal care can feel similar to a wellness or spa treatment.
Conclusion
Silent haircuts offer meaningful health benefits by reducing stress, supporting mental wellbeing, and creating a more inclusive salon environment. By embracing quiet as part of the service, salons can provide a modern, thoughtful approach to self-care that benefits both clients and professionals.
Please tell us that you require this service when booking, we also have a quiet private salon that can be booked for an extra £10 a hour.
The blow-dry bar gives our team valuable experience and allows us to offer our guests a lower cost blowdry at £14.95. This service has been extremely popular and unfortunately, we have struggled to fulfil this service for our regular loyal guests. So, in the future this service will only be available to guests that have a 6 to 8 weeks cut and blow dry service with us. Blowdry’s will be still available to all with our senior team stylists at their normal price.
Our brand is called SIM, the brand comes from Finland. They design and manufacture their own products in their own factory. The SIM brands are very affordable.
SIM SENSITIVE has 3 brands;
High-quality, Finnish, fragrance-free hairdressing product range. Chemical load and fragrance sensitivity are important challenges for us, and inspired us to develop the high-quality, fragrance-free DS range of hairdressing products for people who want to prevent excessive chemical load or suffer from fragrance sensitivity. All hair care products in the DS series are dermatologically tested on sensitive skin.
Forme Essentials is a purely Finnish hair care and styling product line for those of us who value pure nature and genuine self-confidence. The products in the series are enriched with Finnish oat oil, which nourishes our hair in the rush of everyday life.
These are our new 15 direct high colours for bleached/ light hair.
This is a personalised coloured treatment range that we mix for you to refresh and keep on top of your colour at home.
This is our new hair mending treatment, mends from within the hair structure.
System 4– Haircare range for hair and scalp challenges. This range deals with all scalp challenges, dandruff. Greasiness and hair loss. Healthy scalp = Healthy Hair. A NEW LOOK FOR A CLASSIC System 4 is a product line that has deep roots in the hearts of Finns. The product line has become one of the best-known classics of scalp therapy products, which is praised year after year, decade after decade, for its effectiveness in treating scalp problems. System 4 has just received a fresh and classic new look, but the effectiveness of the products has remained the same.
FINISH SCALP THERAPY
System 4 is a comprehensive therapy series that offers a solution to most scalp problems. Carefully selected active ingredients eliminate dandruff, reduce itching and redness of the scalp and help maintain scalp health. The entire product range has been dermatologically tested and the product range is manufactured in our own factory in Pirkanmaa using solar energy.
We have now basin shower heads that filter the harmful metals etc out of the water including chlorine. These filters also soften the water and regulate the flow and consumption of water. I hope you love the experience of the new softer water. Thesse are available to purchase at £35. The filters last for about 6 months and are only £9.95. they come with a number of fitments to fit most shower systems
We have had a lot of requests for travel size bottles in the SIM perfume free range, SIM do not create travel sizes due to cost and use of plastics etc. So we have now sourced some 100ml travel size bottles. These are empty and therefore can filled with any of your favourite haircare and styling products. They are only a £1. Please ask your stylist.
For cleaning the salon, we have come across a company that is abesed in the UK that produces environmental and perfume free cleaning products. We are starting to use these as they go hand in hand with our SIM products. So thought you guys would like to purchase them, so to start with we have ordered a small amount in to see if you are interested. A multi purpose cleaner and washing liquid- they are available at reception.
Over the last few months we have become more and more aware of the need to treat curly hair in a new way. So we have taken all the information we can and mixed it with our Mavericks knowledge, and we have devised our own Mavericks CUrls. This system is for people with naturally curly hair that want the best of their curly hair, and want to wear their curly hair 24/7. This system has been trained to three of our team members Zoe, Sophie and Harriet.
The Mavericks Curls journey starts with:
MAVERICKS CURLS
A two and half hour appiontment that allows us to get to grip with your hair and its condition. We start by cutting the style in dry, its natural state, then we carry out a full moisturizing treatment , once complete you come back to your stylist for a full stying service. £115
Once you have had this treatment, you then go to:
MAINTENANCE CURLS TREATMENT
This is carried out every 2 months to maintain your shape. £75 ( if you miss your maintenance treatment then we will need to start again with the Mavericks Curls)
We have updated our computuer system, this update will hopefully allow us to keep you upto date with your planned appiontmnets. If you do not want any contact from Mavericks then please tell your stylist, we will you from our listings. If you have recently changed your contact details please tell our team and we will change your details.
Why Perfume-Free Hairdressing Salon
A perfume-free hairdressing salon is a space designed to protect health, comfort, and inclusivity. By limiting or eliminating added fragrances, the salon creates a safer and more welcoming environment for clients and staff who may be sensitive to strong smells.
Why Choose a Perfume-Free Salon?
Many hairdressing products and personal perfumes contain fragrances that release chemicals into the air. For some people, these scents can cause headaches, dizziness, allergies, or breathing discomfort. Hairdressers are also exposed to these substances for long hours every day.
A perfume-free salon helps:
Reduce allergic reactions and sensitivities
Improve indoor air quality
Create a calmer and more comfortable atmosphere
Support staff health and wellbeing
Welcome clients with asthma, migraines, or fragrance sensitivities
What Does “Perfume-Free” Mean?
A perfume-free salon does not mean giving up professional results or pleasant experiences. Instead, it focuses on thoughtful choices, such as:
Using low-fragrance or fragrance-free hair products
Avoiding strong air fresheners and scented candles
Informing clients in advance about the perfume-free policy
These steps help reduce unnecessary chemical exposure while maintaining high-quality hair services.
Benefits for Clients
Clients often notice the difference immediately in a perfume-free salon. The air feels fresher, lighter, and less overwhelming. This makes the visit more relaxing, especially for those who are sensitive to smells or who want a healthier salon experience. A perfume-free environment also shows respect and care for individual needs, helping clients feel safe and valued.
Benefits for Hairdressers
For hair professionals, working in a perfume-free salon can lead to:
Fewer headaches and respiratory irritations
Better concentration and comfort during long workdays
A healthier working environment over time
A Modern and Responsible Choice
Choosing a perfume-free concept reflects a modern approach to hairdressing. It shows awareness of health, sustainability, and customer care. As more people become sensitive to chemicals and fragrances, perfume- free salons are becoming an important part of the future of the beauty industry. Fragrance-free products are a necessity for people with a fragrance sensitivity. Even if you do not have a sensitivity, choosing fragrance- free products can help those with sensitivity limit their exposure. Over 50% of the general population prefer workplaces, healthcare facilities, hotels, and airplanes to be fragrance-free. Fragrance-free products offer the same functionality as fragranced products but without the potential health and environmental concerns. Emissions from fragranced products can negatively impact outdoor and indoor air quality and human health for at-risk populations .Interestingly, no law requires companies to disclose individual ingredients that make up a fragrance.
With the prevalence of Covid and other respiratory viruses on the rise again with all the implications that has for our guests and our team, the need to protect our guests and our team is essential.
You are I am sure aware, that as we all exhale a viral cloud of bioaerosols forms above us all. Consequently, as we attend to your hair, we are all exposed to the viral cloud created by us all. Wearing a face mask or having an Air Purifier located somewhere in the salon on the floor or mounted on a wall is not going to protect you if we or you have an infection. To ensure your and our total protection from the Common Cold to Covid the Airborne Pathogens/Bacteria exhaled by all of us we need to neutralised at source. Eirva achieves this by sanitising (disinfected) the air immediately above the chair. Eirva as an NHS Partner in Health, Eirva offers the most advanced and certified Air Sanitised protection. The interesting thought is that we all create about 11,000 litres of air a day, which is pushed out into the atmosphere, as this is warm air this will raise, but this 11,000 litres will cool as some point and fall back down to earth and we rebreathe this.
This is ok outside due to the volume of the air , but inside is a different case. Summer is better due to us all keeping windows open etc but it’s the winter when we close our door and windows and create a space that traps in the air, and our breathes can not escape. This is why we have invested in Eirva to create this clean air bubble around us.
Eirva Benefits;
Spring 2026 nail trends are all about embracing the usual soft pastels, but also earthy greens and bright, playful shades that reflect the change in season. These all offer versatile options for every style.
Nails lengths will be short or medium, both of which are perfect for the Cloud nail look, inspired by the Pantone colour of the year 2026 – Cloud Dancer. Think sheer pinks and milky whites that will compliment any outfit.
Soft pastels such as lavender, blush pink and baby blue are always a popular choice. Add to them a subtle, shimmery top coat for an updated modern finish.
The earthy and pale greens will be a major trend that give a natural look which feel fresh and calming for
Spring. For a finishing touch, add a delicate, minimalist floral detail for an understated charm or go speckled like a mini eggs.
We have now created a spray tanning area with in our premises, so if your looking a little pale, your tan is fading from the summer, you have somewhere to go, have someone to impress, the tanning room is available. Just ask your stylist for availability.
Benefits of Spray Tanning in a Salon
Spray tanning in a professional salon has become a popular alternative to sunbathing and tanning beds. It offers a safe, controlled, and effective way to achieve a natural-looking tan without exposing the skin to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Safer Than Sun or UV Tanning
One of the biggest benefits of spray tanning is that it does not involve UV radiation. Excessive sun exposure and tanning beds can damage the skin and increase the risk of premature aging. Spray tanning provides a bronzed appearance without these risks, making it a safer option for skin health.
Instant and Even Results
Professional spray tanning delivers immediate results. In a salon setting, trained technicians apply the product evenly, reducing streaks or patchiness. This ensures a smooth, natural-looking tan that develops evenly over the skin.
Time-Efficient and Convenient
A spray tanning session typically takes only a short amount of time, making it ideal for busy clients. There is no need for repeated sun exposure over days or weeks, as the desired color can be achieved in one visit.
Confidence and Appearance Boost
A spray tan can enhance the appearance of the skin by creating a healthy glow and visually evening out skin tone. Many clients feel more confident for special occasions, events.
Its with great pleasure and pride that we have a number of team members that have been working hard of
their craft, and are achieving some great hair results within the company. These member are:
Harriet who has now been promoted to Mavericks Director
Martyn who has been promoted to Mavericks Director.
Sophie has now been promoted to Design Director
India has been promoted to Art Director
Lydia to Art Director

Kyra has now been achieved her position within the salon as stylist. She has worked hard through her apprenticeship and has ran the blow-dry bar for the last few months with great skill and passion. It is now time for her to run her own full column, well done Kyra. To celebrate this, we are offering in April 2026 any children under 14 years old can have a cut and blow-dry for £20. This will be on a first come first service basis and on certain days.
The Mood: Soft Power, Healthy Shine & Effortless Structure

Less rock ‘n’ roll, more Parisian ease. Layers are longer, fringe is softer, and movement is controlled rather than wild.
Who it suits: Medium to thick textures.
Curtain Fringe 2.0
Still strong — but now blended deeper into the haircut. It’s less about the fringe itself and more about facial framing. Light, Expensive & Lived-In
Buttercream Blonde
Cool icy tones are softening into creamy, neutral blondes.
High shine is key.
Neutral Beige Brunette
Ash is warming slightly. Brunettes are choosing subtle multi-tonal ribbons for depth without obvious contrast.
Soft Copper Glow
Copper remains, but toned down — more apricot, less fire-engine red.
Men’s Direction: Clean & Textured
Textured crops remain strong
Low tapers instead of harsh skin fades
Medium-length movement on top
Natural wave encouraged over rigid styling
The extreme fade era is softening.
Prevnts Pollen sticking to your hair
Provides colour and UV protection
Dermatologicallly aprroved
Lasts for 6 washes
Leaves hair silky soft
Adds shine and manageability
Can be used with any shampoo and conditioner
