  • Thursday 3 May 2012 - Spires in the News! - In reply to a rather damning article in the Daily Mail titled 'The Facials That Can Ruin Your Skin' in which the writer highlighted the potential dangers of clients using Dermabrasion and Glycol Chemical Peel treatments, our very own Siobhan Woods wrote an article in support and going on to extole the virtues of facial massage techniques such as that used at Beauty in Spires. This was sent to the Daily Mail and The East Grinstead Observer who indeed ran it as a news story featured on page 12 under the headline 'Beautician Joins Row Over Skin Treatment'.   
  • Thursday 23 February 2012 - JoJo 'Roves' at London Fashion Weekend! - Our very own JoJo was despatched to the Vodafone London Fashion Weekend in the guise of Spires Roving Reporter. For the occasion he purchased a very fetching paisley shirt, which was quietly consigned to his satchel following comments made by various Spires staff on its suitability, this we must add was at JoJo's request Lesson to be learned here Jo!). At Somerset House he mixed with the stars such as Lisa Snowden - or was it just her Jo? - and along the way took many photos and crucially brought back with him all the latest fashions and trends for the coming season, both in clothes and hair, which will no doubt appear in our next photo shoot for Spring/Summer. Well done JoJo!            
  • Monday 20 February 2012 - Beauty in Spires in a National!.....As part of our affiliation to The Daily Telegraph Beauty Club, Beauty in Spires were rewarded with a quarter page (broadsheet) feature in the 20th February issue of the Daily Telegraph. You could cut the excitement at Church Lane and given that this was not an advert but a feature, everyone associated with the salon was highly honoured and given the short time since Beauty in Spires has been open it is a tremendous accolade. For once, Karen was nearly lost for words!  
  • Wednesday 1 February 2012 - Spires Radio Re-Vamp Hits the HairWaves!....The all new format for Spires Radio gets its first hairing on this day hosted by the brilliant, professional and some say slick (pardon the hair pun!) Martin Buchanan formerly drive time presenter of 5 years standing for Magic 105.4, as well as Capital Radio, Mercury, Radio Luxembourg and the BBC. The programme will be high on energy, great news, views and tips on what is 'in' for your hair and lifestyle in general plus of course some pulsating 'feel good' music. If you have a business and want to advertise then please call Richard on 01342 311344. Your message must have a lifestyle theme such as food, holidays, photographer, Wedding cake maker etc. Spires Radio is the World's only Hairdressing Radio Station and accessed via the radio buttons at the top of this page and of course in-salon.  
  • Friday 18 November 2011 - Beauty in Spires opens its doors!.... At last after months of planning and some pretty heavy construction work the long awaited extension to the Spires grand masterplan is finally open. As one client commented on the open evening, this is a 'Hidden Gem in East Grinstead, worthy of being in Knightsbridge', which was indeed a compliment. Boasting some top quality products, such as Keraskin Esthetics, the luxury brand from L'Oreal; Mii Cosmetics, relatively unknown and only launched in the UK in March 2011 this is quickly gaining a reputation to place it alongside other more well known brands and when used with a Keraskin facial allows the client to have a facial and makeup in ONE appointment; Jessica Nails are well known the World over for providing the highest quality manicure and pedicure products. In addition to these the line up is completed with Australian Body Care waxing, probably the most hygenic on the market, Siennax Sunless Tanning who have won more awards than any other rival company and Lava Shell Massage, which has to be experienced to be believed! Watch out for the dedicated website, which is scheduled to go live on the 16 January and some pretty amazing promotions.
  • Saturday 30 July 2011 - Spires went lime green for Macmillan!...One of our clients Liz Hemming walked 250 miles along part of the Great Wall of China over a 10 day period between the 15 and 25 September and wanted to raise £ 3500 for Macmillan Cancer Suport. Through her fantastic endeavours to date she achieved this and as part of her fund raising exploits, Spires, in conjunction with Liz hosted a charity fundraising day for her expedition, which raised over £ 100 (not a lot but every little helped!). Spires donated £ 1 for every booking made on the day and gave just over  £ 40 as a result. Liz and her wonderful family did a bucket collection around East Grinstead and raised a further £ 60. This was a great team effort and for a truly fantastic and worthwhile cause. Thanks to our very own Meleiha for donating her tips for the day, a really nice touch.
  • Wednesday 13 and Thursday 14 July 2011 - Natasha's Changed Colours!...Well not quite but let's explain.. Natasha, one of our most improved and brilliant stylists attended the advanced L'Oreal colour course 'Colour Change' at the London Academy on the 13 and 14 July and she just loved it, in fact she texted us after the first and second days to say how 'wicked it was!'. When she finally settled down Natasha said  "Today with over 60% of all women colouring their hair, it is not just a question of being able to propose a colour to a client but also to know how to change her existing colour and this course built on everything that we are trained on in the salon. She returned with an an even greater vigour and put some of her new found techniques into practice with fantastic results. 
  • Spires Carbon Footprint  Down.....Spires sign an agreement with German company Schneidereit to supply their towels, which instead of being cotton are microfibre. some of the benefits being stain resistance, larger than the traditional cotton equivalent, softer and importantly no need to tumble dry, thus saving on gas and with it carbon...so winners all round!
  • Monday 4 April 2011 - New Kid on the 'Locks' at Spires.....As mentioned earlier on our home page we welcomed a new stylist to the team...Meleiha joined from The Rush Group as a senior stylist. She immeditaely attended her first course at the L'Oreal London Academy on the 12 and 13 April as part of her SpiresStandard training where she enjoyed the 'Colour Change' course.   
  • Thursday 10 March 2011 - JoJo hits London!....JoJo visted the L'Oreal Academy in London on this day to attend his first course as  an apprentice - 'Starter Keys'. This is a theory based 1 day course that takes students through the colour spectrum and gets them used to putting different colours together in order to produce another, pretty elementary but an important first step. Next up Colour Keys! 
  • Monday 7 March 2011 - Spires hit the Headlines!....our very own Karen Dandy's comments were reported in a major 2 page article in the Daily Mail on the Brazilian Blow Dry debate and specifically rogue manufacturers who have or are still supplying product which contravenes EU Law by having levels of formaldehyde in excess of the 0.2% legal limit.
