- 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. To read the article please use this link http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1363620/Brazilian-blow-dry-uses-cocktail-chemicals-deeply-disturbing-effects.html

WELCOME
Saturday 28 January 2012
Hello and welcome, my name is Karen Dandy, the owner and principal stylist at Spires Hairdressing, situated in the beautiful conservation area of East Grinstead. May I first of all hope that 2012 is going brilliantly for you and that like us all here you are looking foward to a fantastic year ahead with the Olympics, The Queen's Diamond Jubilee and The European Football Championships, all within the first 7 months!
Positive thinking lies at the core of everything we do and two things are fundemental to this thinking... IMAGE and WELL BEING; if we do not look and feel good then we haven't a hope of moving forward and at Spires we will give you this. Our new beauty salon opened in late November last year called Beauty in Spires under the superb management of Siobhan Woods M.A.R. The salon now has its own dedicated website so why not take a look at www.beautyinspires.co.uk. The feedback from clients so far has been very good, all that I ask is give her a try and I guarantee you will want to re-book! We have some excellent promotions available to you at present such as our 'Winter Warmer' where you will receive a 30 minute Lava Shell back massage, followed by a 30 minute Keraskin Esthetics taster facial rounded off with a Jessica LeRemedi Hand Treatment and Heated Mittens; this fantastic promotion can be yours for just £ 45. I guarantee that you will love the beauty salon and Siobhan who was the only person in 2011 to achieve 100% pass marks in her Keraskin Esthetics exams to become a Kerafacialist. For a booking for the 'Winter Warmer' offer or indeed any other beauty service simply call our reception on..01342 324485.
Over the next few months we will be offering some other great promotions on both hair and beauty services; in saying this we are not in the 'discount' business as I believe that this cheapens the service we offer you and this is not what we are in business to do. Every one of our team are trained in the 'Spires way' and that is to offer you the very best in customer and technical services, every time you visit us and yes this a major financial committment on our part, in terms of training, which is something that we are 100% committed to.
We work tremendously hard to ensure that your experience at Spires, whether it be for hair or beauty, is one to stay in your mind for a long time and enough to want you to re-book and importantly tell others about us. This is where we can add value to your experience....if you do recommend us to another then your next service will be reduced by 10%, whatever the value, its part of our loyalty scheme and a 'thank you' from us.

Lifting your Mood
It doesn't matter who you are out to impress be it your partner, children, work colleagues, friends or that job interview, your hair and beauty plays a huge part, so whatever you do don't skimp. Hair cut beautifully and in pristine condition complimented by say a great facial says so much about you and yes it does lift your mood. Colour plays a huge part in our Winter collection, which was created and photographed in recently by Frazer Visser at Hamilton Sudios with 6 models who we knew fairly well as they were the Spires team! Colour is the perfect partner for a great cut and guaranteed to get heads turning and compliments with it. There is a mis-conception that colour is expensive but at Spires this doesn't have to be the case; if you are a little fearful of taking the decision, due to say a past bad experience or it is your first time, then why not try our new temporary colour that washes out in about 10 shampoos, called Symbio by L'Oreal, which was used extensively in our recent photo shoot as time was of the essence! With a promotional price of *£ 15 and a great choice of colours including gloss/clear (this will make your present colour revive and shine) you can leave the salon feeling a new you and all in about 75 minutes if you include a shampoo cut and finish. The actual colour service takes an avarage of 15 minutes, so you really can wash, colour and go>>. This is our lowest committment colour service and proving to be very popular, so why not give it a try, simply call us on 01342 32 44 85 for an appointment. On the continuing subject of colour, our new first floor away from it all colour suite is continuing to be a great success. It has been designed with your complete satisfaction in mind, affording you total relaxation and luxury yes....100% Me Time.
* colour only
