Pick a side

You can change your look in an instant by switching up you’re parting. The best thing about opting for a side parting is it looks sophisticated no matter what style you choose. You don’t necessarily need to cut your hair to create a change. Our senior stylist Lily agrees “I love how trends recycle themselves; side partings look great with a slick look. Adding clips or grips into one side is a classy style.”

When you have extensions fitted our stylists will ask you where you usually have your parting, Lily explains “with extensions the placement of them changes depending on where you have your parting, this is to ensure they are discreet and blend effortlessly with your natural hair.”

Sarah Mckenna

Sarah McKenna is the founder of Vixen & Blush and The London Hair Lab. Sarah graduated as a research biochemist in 2005 and started a career within the pharmaceutical industry, before becoming a hair extensions expert. In 2010, Sarah gained insight into the hair extensions industry and could see that clients had a very poor value/quality proposition. At that time, poor-quality hair extensions were available, at prohibitively high prices. Sarah left her initial career and set out on a mission to improve the hair extensions industry in the UK, using her research and development skills.

Spending 3 years securing a high-quality and sustainable supply of human hair, Sarah then developed new products and fitting techniques to allow long-term refits of the same hair. In this way, Sarah was able to offer hair extensions services at a more affordable price to clients, while improving the quality of the service for her clients.

With Vixen & Blush starting in 2012 as a 1 chair salon in London, Sarah quickly grew the business to what it is today, a team of more than 20 hair professionals working together as London’s leading hair extensions specialists.
