Over the last 15 years we have become more and more aware of ingredients in our haircare ranges, and the ones that have potential damage to us. It started with sulphates in our shampoos , then moved onto parabens which are preservatives in our products and recently we found that vegan products seem to be the safest products. We have carried out lots of research on different ingredients, and their potential to harm you and our team, that are exposed to them 10 hours a day. So over the next few years we are going to stop using harmful artificial perfumes/fragrance in every thing we do in the salon. Its important to us that our team are safe and also our clients, companies do not need to publish what chemicals go into their perfumes and for that reason we will be using no perfume or natural perfume products.
We have invested in a new coffee machine which turns coffee beans into beautiful fresh coffeee. This machine also creates amazing hot chocolate. Thisservice is included into your hair service. We have also updated our mineral water service; this available as a free top up service
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.

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.

BEAUTY Q&A
Q: What is a brow lamination?
A: A brow lamination involves correcting the brow shape by setting the hairs in place with a 2-step treatment. It’s great if you have unruly brows, flat or downward growing hairs. The hairs are much easier to manipulate into your desired position. It also helps achieve instantly fuller looking eyebrows using your existing hair.
BEAUTY TIP:
Brow glue should be a must in your makeup kit!
It keeps your eyebrow hair in place ALL day long. Super easy to use, brush your hair into the desired positioning and that’s where they will stay all day!

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.

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.
We are fully aware that some guest want to come into the salon and spend their time with us peacefully, or perhaps they need to work. To ensure that this happens please when booking ask for a silent haircut, when will carry out and full consultation at the start and at the end, the rest of the time is yours.
As from Mid November Kyra will be helping Neve in the blow-dry bar, congratulation to Kyra on passing all her training with Sarah on blowdrys. She is looking forward to creating some beautiful blowdrys. The blow-dry bar gives our team valuable experience and allows us to offer our guests a lower cost blow dry 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 attheir normal price

SIM SENSITIVE has 3 brands;

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.

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.

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.

Lydia has now been with Mavericks for two years, in this time Lydia has grown and developed into a very good stylist. Lydia is very enthusiastic and loves all aspects of her hairdressing. So we now feel with her gaining experience its right to promote her to Art stylist in February 2025.
As you are all aware the government have increased NI thresh holds of paying NI and all increase NI by 1.5%.They have also increased the hours rate for apprenticeships. This has also impacted on our supply chain and they have been forced to increase the cost of our sundries and professional product costs to us. As we run a large hairdressing team to ensure that our guests get the best possible customer service and hairdressing quality, this has impacted greatly in our business. So we have been forced to increase our prices too cover these extra costs which will start March 2025. We value your business and hope that you understand our challeneges.
Using a silk pillowcase has alot more benefits than you think, not only will it help reduce your fine lines and wrinkles it can also keep you cool at night Silk pillowcases are less prone to collecting dust mites and bacteria which can help reduce breakouts.
Friction on the hair at night time can cause your hair to get knotty and damaged especially coloured, highlighted and curly hair, using a silk pillowcase will help reduce this, reducing your tangled hair and breakage when brushing the next day or morning. The only decision to make is which colour to choose !
Take inspiration from Daisy Edgar-Jone’s classic cool style, a take on Jane Birken’s iconic look, for a fresh spring look. A full fringe with face-framing layers,this style is very flattering with soft layers for volume and face shaping, that can be styled on various lengths.
Bobs are still really relevant, the common theme is that the look for spring is a chunky bob, styled more loosely and a little imperfect, the chunky bob that feels a little lived-in and doesn’t feel too razored, mixed with a natural undone texture that makes it feel more modern and on trend.
The pixie cut will make a comeback in 2025, with a modern edge more texture, layers,and volume for a fresh twist on this classic look. Pixie cuts will have more movement and versatility in 2025, allowing for a fresh, bold look that’s still easy to maintain.
We do have rooms available for anyone that would like to rent a room from us, perhaps you have an idea for a business that compliments what we and our partners are currently offer. Please contact Martyn 07917565653 or martyn@simfinland.co.uk.
PERFUME, WHATS GOING ON?
A lot of guests have asked us for more information concerning Mavericks going towards a perfume free environment for the both the team and guests. So with that in mind I have taken information from the internet, to try to explain our decision to moved to less perfume. I hope you find this interesting.
reading the long list of ingredients on the back of your favourite hair products may have you questioning ; what is actually in my hair care products? Unfortunately, certain oils, parabens, and the most common synthetic fragrances are often hidden behind fancy names that can be hard to detect.
Fact is, more than 50 percent of all Hair and skin-care products contain fragrances with a lack of description for these chemicals. They are typically found in items that we use routinely such as soap, lotion, makeup, serums, perfumes, and face cream. In hair products, fragrance is often included to provide a recognizable scent for brands labelled as phthalates and tend to be hidden in hairspray, shampoos, and conditioners. Most cosmetics with fragrance are considered safe to use; however, according to the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) , health concerns that can potentially stem from the 3,000 ingredients used in products that contain fragrance include allergies and toxicity, particularly for people withsensitive skin.
We found that it can take over a 100 different chemicals to make a fragrance, Then companies often hide these chemicals under the word perfume or fragrance in their ingredient listing, which they are allowed to do, to stop competitors from
copying they fragrance ! We have no idea what they are using ?
Because of those underlying concerns, using fragrance-free products can prevent redness, rashes, or any sort of skin reaction. Still, there’s a grey area between the terms “fragrance-free” and “unscented” in beauty products, and the distinction between the two isn’t always so clear-cut on an ingredients label.
Why Fragrance-Free?
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 sensitivities 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.
One out of three people in the United States experiences respiratory difficulties and migraines after exposure to fragranced products. Fragrances are also one of the most common causes of contact dermatitis.
One study looked at 174 best-selling moisturizers sold on Amazon. Researchers found that 45% of products labelled”fragrance-free” contained fragrance.
Interestingly, no law requires companies to disclose individual ingredients that make up a fragrance.
What is smell?
It’s an interesting question, that some of our team have asked. Smell is, as we know one of our senses, and our smell receptors are connected directly to our brains. It’s part of our fight or flight decision making. Imagine walking through the dark woods (1000 year ago) a tiger is in the woods, your would not see it, you do not want to touch it ! but hopefully you would smell it- and then run !!. We also use smell to check food quality, it’s even believed that we choose our partners through smell!
As smell is important and emotional to us, nowadays product designers use this to mask their product ingredients and attract us. They even know that we get use to smells, we go nose blind, so they increase the perfume in products.
Just follow us on Facebook and tag your friend in. that’s it!
We will pull a name out of a hat that has followed us in March and tagged their friend and announce on Monday 31st March who has won.
Any questions please ask your stylist or do it in the salon and our stylists will show you.
